The first game you want to buy this year?

3DS: Paper Mario, Heroes of Ruin (possible) Metal Gear, and one other that I can't think of

First game I got this year was Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Thoroughly disappointed:

the setting isn't nearly as fleshed out as renaiscence Italy (specially in the second game), despite having just as much potential,

not enough assassinations, the assassinations you do have are shallow,

lackluster, short single-player,

Constantinople feels lifeless -- I was looking for the type of vividness you got from the Venitian carnival or the festivities, instead I got a city that barely interacted with me (and it had so much potential! the bazaars, guilds, factions...)

I mean, the series had been on a roll. AC II was a direct SP improvement from AC I, and while Brotherhood's SP wasn't better than AC II's, it had more features, compensating for that. AC: Revelations is just a shorter AC: Brotherhood with a less vivid world. The multiplayer didn't improve all that much, and you only have two new gameplay features (hook (rofl) and bombs). And they insisted on the "one massive city" (albeit not so massive this time) instead of a handful of not-so-large but fleshed-out cities idea. Oh well. Did not meet my expectations, even if the game, by itself, is good, it pales in comparison to its brothers.

First game i'm gonna buy is probably the Jak and Daxter Collection.

Followed by Binary Domain.

PS Vita and Uncharted : Golden Abyss

and Syndicate.

Already paid off Jak and Daxter and Binary Domain fully.

saving up for Vita and Uncharted.

It was going to be Mass Effect 3, but considering how thats turned out I think I'll give it a miss.

First game I bought this year? Super Mario 3D Land.

First game I'm going to buy that is released in 2012? Kingdoms of Amalur. I'm very excited for it as well, love all the previews so far.

I preordered Mass Effect 3 N7 Edition which depleted my gaming funds for awhile, so that'll be the first 2012 game I get. Then I will wait for the release of Grand Theft Auto 5...

Now that we have an official release date for MGS: Snake Eater for 3DS, that will be my first game of 2012.

i am actually not sure. im so into all the games that came out this year that i havent really thought about it. but twisted metal is probably going to my first buy.

Heroes of Ruin

The Darkness 2. I don't usually like cell-shaded games, but this one looks great!

FFXIII-2!

Mass Effect 3

Still deciding if I want to get FFXIII-2 and Kingdoms Of Amalur, paid ME3 in full already.

Probably Soul Calibur V, although I'm still a bit unsure about picking it up. Otherwise it'll be Tales of Graces f or FFXIII-2.

I still haven't picked up AC: Revelations. That's on the list, along with Bioshock Infinite & AC:III. Everything else, I'll have to wait for previews to see if I want it.
