E3 has passed, and we've seen many great games coming out this year and the next. What should I do in response to this? Make an opinionated list about my Top 5 games that I'm anticipating the most this year.
Honorable Mention Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
Well I haven't seen a lot from this racing game from Burnout creators Criterion Games, but it looks like it promises one thing, we'll be seeing a lot of influence from Need For Speed: Most Wanted. When was the last time you saw cops in a free roam racer? Well Undercover did do that, but not as good as Most Wanted.
#5 Dead Rising 2
This game looks plain awesome, and what makes it better is that it's no longer Xbox 360-exclusive. Now the big change of pace from the original really won't affect me, considering I haven't played the original, but everything still looks good. The create-a-weapon system also looks really cool, if I could, I would just use the paddlesaw and mow down the zombies, but that gets rid of the fun now does it?
#4 Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
I'm not a really big Star Wars fan, in order to actually be a big fan of Star Wars, you have to have seen all of the movies, except The Clone Wars, but that doesn't stop me from liking the video games. Now the closest I've ever gotten to playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was through the demo, yet that still gave me all the awesomeness I needed to see that The Force Unleased did deserve the cult following it got. Hopefully, The Force Unleashed II will give it the cult following and the good reviews it deserves.
#3 Medal of Honor
Medal of Honor seems to look like the more underrated war game of this year, unlike last year, where Battlefield Bad Company 2 stole the spotlight from Call of Duty just for a while. However I do feel that the Medal of Honor reboot by Battlefield developers EA DICE will rule the war games market this year. Why do I believe this? Because Treyarch seems to be making games close but no cigar to those of Infinity Ward, which is falling apart at the scene after Activision refused to pay West and Zampella their royalties for making the Call of Duty franchise.
#2 Fallout: New Vegas
This sly dog of a game almost stole the #1 spot, but I can't say that I'm too anticipated for this game considering we have Obsidian as our lead developer. Like I said in my blog post before this, Obsidian still needs to prove to me that they still got it after making Alpha Protocol. However, Fallout New Vegas is using the popularity it garnered with Fallout 3 to it's advantage here, considering Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games, and it's probably going to stay that way for a long time...until we got
#1 Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Okay I'm sorry, Assassin's Creed is just awesome to me, sure I think the gameplay has bored me a bit by now, but that will all change come Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. From what it looks like, we'll see a more RPG feel when we'll be able to recruit other people to join us in a war against the Borgias. The best part of this game? MULTIPLAYER!!! I've always dreamed of Assassin's Creed multiplayer (no joke, I've imagined how the multiplayer works and practically spectated a multiplayer match), after looking at the way the multiplayer is on the previews, it doesn't look as fast paced as I had it, with sword fights, giant hidden blade leaps, your just not as powerful as you are in the single player mode.
I look at this list and think...I'm going to make a lot of people angry for not putting Call of Duty on this list. I also feel that Twisted Metal should be on here somewhere, but I like the list I made, and I hope you do too.
