Half Life 2: Episode 3. It may not have been "officially" announced, but if it IS real, then yeah.

[Invader]

[FtRapture]

Bioshock Infinite is for sure the must have one for me on your list. I am also looking forward to Hitman..

[I-ChooseTheImpossible]

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Mass Effect 3
Ocarina of Time 3DS
Starfox 64 3DS
Luigi's Mansion 2
Kid Icarus
Mario Kart
BioShock Infinite
Any new Pokemon game that may be released
The Wii U (I know its a console but I'm going to chuck it in there anyway)

[gamertam]

All paid off @ Gamestop:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Augmented Edition)
Assassin's Creed Revelations (signature edition)

Games on my radar:
(Reboot) Lara Croft Tomb Raider
Batman: Arkham City (reserved)
this will do for now, there will be more.

And of course Bioshock Infinite is a must.

[Grathius22]

I can't wait for Ryse, Infinite, and Mass Effect 3. That's about it, though.

Those games look sexy. Issuing voice commands is awesome.

[Invader]

Is there a release date for Infinite yet? I haven't been following it.

[IllusionOfLife]

2011:

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Batman: Arkham City
Uncharted 3
Sonic Generations
Gears of War 3

2012:

Mass Effect 3
BioShock Infinite
Tomb Raider

Nope just "2012" is all they have said.

[SG Ghaz]

Right, in descending order of importance:

Zelda: Skyward Sword
Tales Of Graces F
BioShock Infinite
Batman: Arkham City
Super Mario 3DS
Resident Evil: Revelations
Luigi's Mansion 2
Xenoblade Chronicles
Tales Of The Abyss 3DS
Mario Kart 3DS
The Last Story
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Mass Effect 3
StarFox 3DS

I'll probably buy three times as many games as this by the end of 2012, tho

[xPOORGUYx]

dead island
Batman:AC
Bioshock infinite
Resident Evil:Operation Raccoon City
Gears of war 3
Skyrim
Sonic generations
new Rayman game

[Invader]

Nope just "2012" is all they have said.

Oh, okay. I need to start following it again. I miss having a big game to look forward to. Sure, there are Zombies maps for COD, but that's just not the same.

Forgot to say Luigi's Mansion 2.

Quick question: will Super Mario 3DS be based off of Super Mario 64 again?

[SG Ghaz]

No, it's brand new.

[Invader]

No, it's brand new.

Oh, cool. Too bad I don't have a 3DS. :-/

[Vito_Lucente]

Gears of War 3 and BioShock Infinite are really the ones that I'm most looking forward to. Also, Arkham City and Skyrim.

[FallenVamphyre]

Arkham City
Skyrim
The Darkness 2
Gears of War 3
the new Minecraft update
Guild Wars 2
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Prototype 2
Mass Effect 3
Halo 4

That's all I'm really excited for, until new games are announced.

[dastansmith]

Arkham City, Crysis 2, Mass Effect 3 are fine games that I would like till 2011 and so many wonderful games are coming in upcoming months like Max Payne 3 and MW 3.

[Atlas-]

Bioshock Infinte thats about it I don't have a huge amount of money to spend on games so I have to choose carefuly.

[Reborn in the Ocean]

Nope just "2012" is all they have said.

I swear I heard or read somewhere that the game is going to be coming out in February 2012 which will mean early next year will be busy for me with Bioshock Infinite, and Mass Effect 3, other games that I am looking forward to are Batman Arkham City, Gears of War 3 for sure, and then the 10 year anniversary for Halo CE because the first one was really good and new graphic's to boot along with multiplayer and everything else its going to be a good game. Dead Island is definitely up there for another game that I want along with The Darkness 2 and Rage for sure I can't wait for ID to be done with Rage so they can work on Doom 4 . That's it for now.

[themaster]

Just got Crysis 2!! Happy days for Mr. Cyrus!!!

[David Weather]

Guys I just saw a preview of a game call 3rd Planet, its sounds interesting.. Its sort of like you are a tourist and can visit all the places on Earth.

Check it out.. Its launching in 2011. I think late

[GeneTraitor]

Deus Ex for sure, and I've got my eye on Dead Island. Stronghold 3 looks promising, but as bad as Stronghold 2 was, I want more information. BioShock Infinite, tbh, does not thrill me from what I've seen so far.

[nenous2]

X-Com
Rage
Darkness 2
Uncharted 3
and of course the new Bioshock. i want X-Com the most because it's a fresh take on the franchise and it looks great.

[RevanJJ]

I can't afford much so I am going to stick w the reality of ones I want and can actually get.
Gears Of War 3
Darksiders II
Bioshock Infinite
Darkness II
Mass Effect 3
Battlefield 3 (maybe)
Batman Arkham City

I just wish someone would pick up the old Legacy of Kain series and make some new Soul Reaver stuff. I used to love those so much. The story, especially of Raziel was amazing. That'd go to #1 fast on any want list, lol.

[themaster]

I still am heartbroken that inFAMOUS 2 is for PS3 only.

The setting of that game sold it for me.... until I realised I couldn't be sold it, as I only have a 360.

Same situation for me. God of War 3 as well on my list. At least I got it's clone Darksiders, lol.

Me too. I played a demo at my local GameStop and it was AWESOME! I want a PS3 now...

Someone told me today that it was an awful game! I beg to disagree! Any game set in New Orleans (or a thinly disguised New Orleans) is a win from me.

However they should choose more original names for their leads. They're all so forgettable, Cole MacGrath sounds like Cole Phelps, Jack Ryan is pretty much any Irish guy's name, John Marston, I forgot that after a couple days, and he called his kid Jack Marston, another unoriginal name, another Jack, the only name I imagine any thought went into was probably Ezio Auditore. Good name. No one else is called that.

In fact, I was driving through Dublin when I saw a pizza joint called "Ezio's". I was going to stop to take a picture but I noticed it at the last second, and I was driving.

This. So much this.

Since Amy Hennig's with Naughty Dog now, a Crystal Dynamics and Naughty Dog Legacy of Kain collaboration would be absolutely fantastic.

Btw, Raziel's story ended with Defiance. I, too, empathized with Raziel alot more than Kain but I'm pretty sure, any future Legacy of Kain games would be alot more Kain-centric unless they do a complete reboot...

As for my list:

Bioshock Infinite
Batman Arkham City
Uncharted 3
Deux Ex: Human Revolution
Dead Island
Firefall
Tribes: Ascend
Guild Wars 2
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Torchlight 2
Tomb Raider Reboot
FFv13/Diablo 3 (These two probably don't count because they have an indefinite release date but still, I have to throw it out there)

Likely, but I was dreaming of them re-releasing with updated graphics(even though they were amazing for their time) and then yeah moving on with some more Kain stuff. Or even a prequel game playing as Raziel before Kain chucked him off that waterfall lol.

It's a bummer when so many amazing series and games are missed by the new generation of gamers.

I'm still praying, fruitlessly, for a FF7 re-release on Ps3/360

Calling the swirling nigh-bottomless abyss that is the Lake of the Dead a "waterfall" is a sacrilege...

Anyhoo, these games are still available to the new generation of gamers if those gamers choose to scrounge em up. Last time I checked, Blood Omen 1, Soul Reaver 1 and FF7 are all available as PSone classics over on PSN...

LOL! Ok, ok bottomless waterfall of evil. :P

Problem is, and reason I was thinking of re-release, is many of this gen of gamer are graphics only hounds and, even though superior at the time, would be automatically dismissed by many. Of course, those who automatically dismiss based on graphics, etc aren't really gamers anyway so it would be sacrilege to allow them to play these games anyway.I only have Xbox so dang! Time to hit the used video game store harder.

Check this out, I got Batman Arkham Asylum GOY edition, in Mint condition for $12 yesterday. even had unworn glasses. So far, its pretty amazing. I've been pretty broke due to a lot of medical costs so trying to catch up on the great games I've missed whenever I see a deal like that. Working my way through Darksiders right now as well. Then time to beat DNF again.

They're making a Torchlight 2?! Add that to my list!!

[Vito_Lucente]

TES: Skyrim
Arkham City
BioShock: Infinite
Dead Island
Silent Hill: Downpour
Gears of War 3
The Darkness II
Mass Effect 3
Rage
Torchlight 2

[headkase]

The game I'm waiting for most is: Deus Ex: Human Revolution!!!! I have it pre-purchased already on Steam!

Next, is: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim!!!

Then, Rage!!

And, finally, last just because everything else comes out before it: Bioshock Infinite!

So, yeah, I got a full schedule ahead!

[FallenVamphyre]

Same situation for me. God of War 3 as well on my list. At least I got it's clone Darksiders, lol.

If you want a literal CLONE (practically a rip-off of gameplay and design) for 360, try Dante's Inferno.

Honestly, if those exclusives excite you so much, just get a used PS3 for like $180. It's well worth it, coming from someone with both consoles.

As for inFAMOUS fans.... try Prototype for a similar experience

Back on topic, to add to my list: Sly Cooper 4 and Max Payne 3. Oh god... I played MP all the time as a kid, I'm so excited

[Vito_Lucente]

I'm looking forward to a couple of Indies called From Dust and Rock of Ages

[I-ChooseTheImpossible]

As for inFAMOUS fans.... try Prototype for a similar experience

I bought Prototype because of this exact recommendation, I loved InFAMOUS 1 and 2, only to get bored with Prototype and return it.
