Next year in preview Part 2

Hello again! Well, my last blog was basically my most anticipated games, but Ijust didn't have time to put all the other games up here. Well, that is what I will do right now. Here I will list all games (well, as many as I can) that people are looking forward to next year, and also some games I just forgot to put up here. Now, let's go!

Mass Effect 2 (360/PC)

The Mass Effect series is one of the main reasons I want a 360, and the sequel seems to be set to be an epic adventure. Coming out in January next year, expect sales to be huge. 2010 starts out well, and this game is the prime example of that.

-Is it me or is that a new suit?

Starcraft 2 (PC)

Another game I really want, but can't play. Sad. I loved the first Starcraft, it was a genius game, and one of the few RTSs that I've finished completely without cheats. :P That is just a testament to how well the first game was built, and if the second is an improvement to the first, we might be seeing the best RTS to come forward in a decade. Set you phasers to stun, because Starcraft 2 will blow you away.

-Ooh, lights!

Resonance of Fate (PS3/360)

One of the games I forgot in my last blog, Resonance of Fate is made by one of my favorite developers ever, Tri-Ace. Having made the Star Ocean games, which in themselves are innovative and massively entertaining games, RoF seems to be continuing that thread, offering something new to the RPG scene, and I seriously can't wait. Awesomeness be coming.

-Police should be like this. Cool and stylish.

God of War III (PS3)

I would have put this game on my list, but I haven't played the former games in the series. I will be doing that soon, but until then, I can't say that I am looking forward to the game in that way. However, there is no doubt the game will be good. Very good. It looks amazing, plays well (like the others, ergo, well) and will be truly epic. Another crown jewel in the PS3 exclusive library.

-Dentistry in the old days wasn't as nice. No novocaine, at least.

Star Ocean The Last Hope: International (PS3)

Another Tri-Ace game, another gem. When I heard Last Hope was 360 exclusive, my heart almost stopped. So imagine my relief when I heard the game was coming to the PS3 next year. Anyway, there is nothing left to say. Good old Star Ocean gameplay on the PS3. Oh, the joy.

-There is no IGN logo there, your eyes are lying!

White Knight Chronicles (PS3)

Another game I forgot. Typical me :P White Knight Chronicles has been released in Japan, and to the best of my knowledge, is considered to be a very good game. Seeing as it is made by Level 5, of DQVIII fame, I'm very psyched for the game, even though it is a bit too focused on online. But still, it looks like a must-buy.

-I wish I knew Japanese...

Bayonetta (PS3, 360)

When I think about it, ALL the good games come out in the first three months of 2010. That is weird, and quite unusual. I'm not THAT excited about the game, but it is definitely worth a buy, and it looks like it is doing something new. That is always fun. Bayonetta does look a lot like Sarah Palin, though...

-Isn't that a bit too provocative?

Darksiders: Wrath of War(PS3, 360)

Another game coming out early next year. Man...anyway, playing as one of the four Horsemen of the apocalypse is a genuinely interesting mechanic, and I have to say I'm a bit excited about this game. Hopefully, it manages to turn out well. If not, Dante's Inferno will do it for me.

-The big guy contest: who will win?

MAG (PS3)

Seriously, the January release games are getting tiresome. Anyway, another PS3 exclusive coming out soon, and it seems to be doing something not many games have done this generation: focus COMPLETELY on multiplayer. 256 players at a time sounds like chaos, but lag-free? I must say, that sounds interesting. That is probably as close to war that we'll get, I guess.

-Shiny guns shoot shiny bullets, yes?

Dark Void (PC, 360, PS3)

No, not again. Please, no! Anyway, a shooter where you can fly around on a jetpack? Call me intrigued. If they manage to pull off the flight mechanics, we might have a sleeper hit here. We'll just have to wait and see, now won't we? I believe I can fly!!!!!!!!

-Falcon...PUNCH!

Aliens vs. Predators (PS3, 360, PC)

OK, now I'll shoot someone. Of what I've seen in previews, this actually might be a good game based on the amalgam of Alien and Predator. Being able to play as all three species is certainly intriguing, and if they balance the characters well, this might be a game to look out for. Stay tuned!

-Once again, the IGN logo is a lie. Anyway, I'd be afraid. Wouldn't you?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (PS3, 360)

Finally, an unannounced release. The CV series hasn't exactly been wildly successful on the 3D front, but I'm very hopeful that LoS manages to pull it off. I know gdw is with me on this. C'mon, we've been waiting!

-Enigmatic camera angles? Check.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP)

Big Boss on the PSP. Need I say more? Well, OK, a bit more. It is a new entry into the MGS series, spearheaded by Kojima himself. Now I need'nt say more.

-The coolest beard EVER!

Well, that is all I can remember. Don't tell me I forgot something! My fingers are dead now. I did this for you people you know that? You see what I do for you?! Aaarghh!

Have a happy holiday, GS users!
