With some new gaming announcements over the past few weeks, it has got me thinking about the games that I myself am looking forward to, and the ones I really couldn't careless about over the next 12 months.

Here is my own personal top3 for the next twelve months, or aleast for the timing being.

3. Fallout new Vegas...Fallout 3 was easily the best game of 2008 and it wouldn't be an understatement to say that it is one of the best games of all time. So when Bethesda announced a sequel of sorts, it became almost impossible not to become excited about the prospect of returning to the barren wastelands of America. With the promise of new game play modes and general improvements in all areas, it never too early to nominate this for game of the year.

2. Legend of Zelda Wii...Anyone who says that the Wii is value for money needs to have their head examined. With a total of only 3 good games over its 3 and a half year history, the Wii clearly needs a kick up the a** with a steel toecap boot. Zelda could be the boot as long as it doesn't have thousands of minigames that require wiggling the remote and a family of smiley happy people playing it.

1. Gears of War 3...I never liked the first GoW, mainly because it felt dark, dull and very poorly written in terms of both script and story. Then just last April, I pick up a second hand copy of GoW 2 and was completely blown away. It had been improved in every area and increased the humour with the likes of Cole Train and his little rant on a microphone. Little is known about number 3 at the moment but as long as it follows in number 2 footsteps, it should be brilliant fun to play.

That is my current top 3 and no doubt as time goes by the list will increase tenfold, but for now, that will do.
