Gran Turismo 5 and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit are my final purchases of 2010. Im a fan of both arcade racers and driving simulators and these two have satisfied my inner racer. Gran Turismo is still "The Real Driving Simulator". I only have minor gripes about GT5 and Im pleased with it overall. Hot Pursuit brings the NFS series back to its roots. No silly stories featuring hot chicks and other nonsense like there was in past NFS games. Just pure arcade racing and pursuits. This was the reason why Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2 was my favorite NFS game. Now I think that just got replaced with this new one. With 2010 pretty much complete when it comes to games, I will be looking forward to 2011. Here is my list of my most wanted games of 2011, of course these could be delayed into 2012 but Im hopeful.
Final Fantasy vs. XIII
My number 1 most wanted game right now. I loved FFXIII (Despite what some picky fanboys say) So Im definatly keeping my eye on this one. Not much is known about it with the exception of a few trailers but, Square Enix is going to hold a Fabulas Nova Crystallis conference this January. So lets hope that this conference is filled with a whole bunch of FF vs XIII goodies.
Ace Combat Assault Horizon
Ive been a fan of the Ace Combat series since playing Ace Combat 4 on the PS2 and Ive played every one of them (with the exception of AC6 due to the lack of an Xbox360). With the new destruction element, which the people at Project Aces call "Mechanical blood and gore", its looking to be a big game. At least for me.
Dirt 3
It must be wierd being an American and liking these rally games, since rallying isnt really as popular here as it is in Europe and Austrailia,but I really did enjoy Dirt 1 and 2. With added weather effects, This is one racer to look out for.
Motorstorm 3
My most anticipated racing game of 2011. The first 2 Motorstorms took you to the desert and tropics to race but now, we get an apocalyptic urban setting to race through. Its looking to be an intense racer.
Homefront
My most anticipated shooter of 2011. Im geting tired of Call of Duty to be honest and I hope this game will be a fresh break from Call of Duty. Set in the USA in the future, you must defend your nation against a Korean invasion. It sounds kinda far-fetched but its still interesting.
Well, there you have it. Reactions?
