Darksiders: Wrath of War has jumped onto my list at number 9 and I've dropped games releasing in August from the list. "Why Darksiders?" you might ask, how's this:

* Experience the Godlike Power of WAR – Combining brutal attacks, supernatural abilities and seamless traversal, delivering intense action combat and epic adventure, set in an immersive demon ravaged world.
* Open World Exploration – Each open world hub offers players the freedom to explore and make their own game-experience.
* Extreme Arsenal of Weapons – Unleash WAR's fury with an expansive arsenal of weapons, from the fantasy oriented to the modern and the ability to use virtually anything within your environment as a weapon.
* Increase or unlock new abilities – Customized to your gameplay **** Build up WARs Wrath powers and unleash them in spectacular attacks—or collect Soul Cores to increase or unlock new abilities.
* Horseman of the Apocalypse – Gain the services of RUIN, WAR's phantom steed, blazing a trail through enemies across devastated environments.
* Graphic Novel Art ****– Joe Madureira's (X-Men, Battle Chasers, The Ultimates) unique visual art ****and original storyline.
* Cinematic Gameplay Experience – Harnessing the power of next-generation console systems, Darksiders: Wrath of War will immerse players in a rich cinematic gameplay experience—featuring beautiful graphics, detailed special effects, cinematic

Sounds like my kind of game. It jumped onto my radar after E3 (some may have already been following this one, sorry if I'm late to the party). I'll be watching it closely from here on out. Joe Madureira creating the art and story really has me stoked and if they deliver on the rest of that list, WOW! Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Also new to the list is Killzone 2 which I'm approaching with guarded optimism "thanks" to the first Killzone, I'm beginning to come around on it but I really want to hear more on the quality of the gameplay, it looks amazing though.
