What game never gets mentioned here, yet you still think it could end up delivering in some way? We all know the big ones. We all know the God of War, Brutal Legend, Uncharted, Halo, etc, so let us know your dark horse!

My pick is Edge of Twilight:

And there's a reason for that, there's nothing to talk about. I'm still buying that bad boy day one, though.

That's about as niche of a game I can think of, that still interests me, so I agree.

okay.. if Dark Void and Heavy Rain are dark horses, I can pick White Knight Chronicles, because it gets even less attention. but I won't, because that game looks like CRAP.

nope. if marcus fenix could float around while he does his usual thing, you'd get dark void. thus, gears + flower = dark void.

Hey there Mr. J!!

You just tainted Batman:AA with AC, why?! why?!

The last thing I need is one of my highly anticipated games being a complete rinse and repeat experience. (Even if this is taken out of context) they should not be mentioned in the same sentence.

The Precursors. I doubt it will get raving reviews or anything like that, in fact I'm pretty sure it will flop big time pressuming it had any hype to begin with. But it's one of those games I have to try just because the concept it so great.

finalfantasy94

Which vid? E3 2006 or E3 2008? There has been a 20 minute video footage of Gameplay (though the level showcased will not be featured in the main game)

That said, I answer Heavy Rain...

and Another Code for the Wii.

ghostbusters, arkham asylum and i saw some gameplay of that dark void on a uk tv show, it looked pretty cool, you climbed up mountains killing enemies and they had all different cover mechanics, looks pretty interesting. i can't think of any other right now, but i'm sure there are a few.

Plants vs Zombies, even if it already out :P

I think Mafia 2 looks great, Wolfenstein is in that list as well.

But ArmA 2 looks amazing if it is released this year. If it's not released this year then my dark horse goes to Alpha Protocol.

Alpha Protocol The same people who made KOTOR2 are making this. The description of the game is basically Mass Effect in modern/near-future spy setting with more action. KOTOR2 has one of the most interesting stories i've ever seen in a game and one of the best characters (Kreia) and alot of stuff that was really great, but was stuck in a game that was over the top buggy. I want to see what these guys will make when they're using an engine they're familiar with and they've actually had a decent amount of time to develop the title.

Well I was going to say Little King's Story, but now more people are talking about it here, which is a good thing more people are seeing how great it is going to be - before people just thought it was shovelware. Besides that I'm going to say Lets Tap for Wii.

I think you and I are the only people who want Let's Tap. It makes me sad you don't get the little Let's Tap box with it, though. :(

Edge of Twilight cannot possibly be as awesome as it looks.

My pick is Dark Void, and maybe Singularity and Darksiders: Wrath of War.

Let's Tap, Sin & Punishment 2, and King of Fighters XII

(Also would Sin & Punishment 2 count I know some people talk about it but not alot? Muramasa: The Demon Blade is defenately not considered a Dark Horse on System Wars it gets talked about all the time here.)
