I went ahead and dug through the listings of games that are coming out this year and made a little tiny list of titles that I think look interesting. And after going through the listings, I noticed that I came out with a lot of PS3 games on the list. I know I am definitely looking to get more games for my PS3, as it has been collecting dust as of late and I would rather find some other, more practical use for it then that. Besides that, I am trying to stray away from Xbox 360 games a bit, almost purely out of fear that I'll buy a good game and have the console red ring on me. I do not want to experience that...
I wish I could say that there are a great deal of games I want to get for the PSP, but that would be a lie. It would appear as though there is still a lack of good games for that expensive little piece of... gaming. I thought Sony promised better support for it's hand held? Where is that at?!
About the only game I want to get there is Persona 3 Portable, which I never got to play but it seems as though it is a great RPG. I'd like to find that out! And Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is more for my girlfriend, who has been obsessing over that series for years now. She still has not forgiven Square-Enix for not bringing Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix to the States...
Actually I don't even think all of these will make it out this year, but still. Interest! Yes! And those that have been bolded...ed... those are the games I am fairly set on buying this year. Or so I think. Is boldeded even a word?
Red Dead Redemption (PS3) - I wasn't into Western movies all that much as a kid (that was more my dad's thing), I still can't help but to be drawn to this game. I think I'd like to play as a gun toting outlaw...
UFC Undisputed 2010 (PS3) - I played through 2009 and generally liked what was there. I never got a hold of the submission system, but still managed to go through the brutal career mode by head kicking people to a state of unconsciousness.
ModNation Racers (PS3) - I like making stuff and this allows you to make racers, race tracks and who knows what else!
Alpha Protocol (PS3) - I admit that my interest in this game has been restored to a small degree. Still, I can't help but laugh when I saw a "solid" release date for this game. I'm not getting hyped at all over this, just gonna sit back and wait for that last minute "ALPHA PROTOCOL DELAYED... AGAIN" notice.
Final Fantasy XIV (PS3) - It looks kind of like Final Fantasy XI, but with better graphics and a lot of new things. I actually just want to start playing this at launch so I can mouth off to people with "Yeah, well, I was playing since NA release! That makes me UUUUUBERRRR!" I have issues...
Front Mission Evolved (PS3) - Like I said with ModNation Racers, I love to make stuff and this game gives players the chance to customize giant freaking, near Gundam-like robots! I tried a couple of games from this series in the past and... I never got that into it. So what am I thinking?! I'm a fool for punishment.
Star Wars The Force Unleashed II (PS3) - I still have a lot of questions about this game like is it based off of a new character? Or did StarKiller (the weird kid that turned on the Dark Side during the original game) some how survive his encounter with the Emperor? And are there going to be more ways to use the Force to launch Storm Troopers off of ledges, cliffs and all manner of structures?
Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360) - I watched the recently released debut trailer for the game and I wasn't all that hyped up after it. It just wasn't that damn exciting! But I will reserve judgment until more info is released about this. In some ways, I feel like this is Halo 3 all over again. It doesn't look like the greatest game ever made, but I spent all that time to play the last 2. I guess I should finish the fight...?
Halo Reach (Xbox 360) - Speaking of finishing the fight, aren't we done yet?! How many aliens are there exactly? I am assuming these aliens breed like rabbits or else how can this even go on? Or is this a prequel? Ah ha... that explains things. Sort of.
Ghost Recon Future Soldier (Xbox 360) - Another shooter, but with fancy gadgets and spiffy on screen displays and such. I'm a sucker for things like that. Hopefully there will actually be a local, split screen co-op story and other modes this time around.
Fable III (Xbox 360) - This should be an absolute and yet it is not. Why? Because I keep reading about all of these changes that are pushing this game to becoming more action rather then a RPG. Will this even be anything like Fable 2?!
Ninety-Nine Nights 2 (Xbox 360) - The original Ninety-Nine Nights game was actually my very first purchase for my assumed new Xbox 360 back in the day. Everyone said this was just like Dynasty Warriors, but with a crap-ton more baddies to hack and slash! And after playing it then I said this: They all lied! This game sucks! So why the interest now? Well it has been a long while since that game and I am hoping against hope that it'll actually be better this time around.
Super Street Fighter 4 (Xbox 360) - After getting my ass handed to me over a dozen times by that damn Seth, I swore I was done with Street Fighter 4. But what is this?! SUPER Street Fighter 4!! Aw damn, sign me up!!? Seriously though, I don't know why I am even interested here. Maybe its the inner child in me wanting to seek revenge against M. Bison for all those times he kicked my ass back in the Street Fighter II days.
Scribblenauts 2 (DS) - More words! Better interaction! Better everything! Gahh!
Dragon Quest IX (DS) - Where is this game at? I don't even recall seeing this on the coming soon list that I was looking at. My first and only experience with this series was with Dragon Quest VIII and that was a lot of fun for me. So again... where is this game at?!
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (PSP) - Never played this, but always heard a lot of good things about it no less. And it's a RPG. How can I ignore this?
Disgaea Infinite (PSP) - I don't know all that much about this, but apparently it has something to do with a lot (more maybe all) of the Disgaea characters being thrown together into a single game. If I read this right, you can jump back and forth to the different Netherworlds and you're solving mysteries? Hmm...
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (PSP) - What is Roxas doing there? Oh, what? That isn't Roxas you say? Why could Square-Enix at least come up with another original design? Why not just throw Cloud in there too and all him Sky instead? Never mind. Looked interesting from what little I've seen and read. Maybe this will lead to Kingdom Hearts 3 somehow??
