Overall I reckon this year will be full of really good games, assuming they come out in time.

I totally agree on both accounts. This holiday seems so stacked with big name releases that I'm half expecting most of the games listed to be pushed back to get out of the way of their competition. And god only knows what my wallet is going to look like at the end of this year...

Here's some of the games I'm really excited for w/ projected release dates

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective - Jan. 11
Little Big Planet 2 - Jan. 18
Dragon Age 2 - Mar. 8
Mortal Kombat - March 2011
3DS - March
Portal 2 - Apr. 20
Uncharted 3 - Nov. 1
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Nov. 11
Team Ico Collection - Q1 2011
Gears of War 3 - Q4 2011
Last Guardian - Q4 2011
Mass Effect 3 - Q4 2011
Journey - 2011

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Nov. 11

Woah count me in for that one too. I don't like the sound of Nov 11 though, that sounds more like Q2 2012. I wasn't even aware that a lot of work has already gone into the game, and something like Oblivion or Fallout needs a great deal of time. Perhaps the early release date means it'll look and play a lot like Oblivion, with no major structural changes?

Keep in mind that Bethesda didn't really do the developement work on New Vegas, which would make Fallout 3 they worked on in house. That was released in 2008, and three years is a pretty good dev cycle for a game like that, especially considering how their studio has expanded since Oblivion came out (I'm pretty sure there are multiple teams there at this point). I do hope there will be significant structural changes from Oblivion and definitely from the Fallout games, but supposedly the whole game is running on a brand new engine which is reason enough for me to get excited.

Just today Game Informer announced that next month's cover story will be all about the game, with some screenshots to be unveiled, so there will probably be more to talk about then.

I also totally forgot to add Catherine to my list, assuming it doesn't take forever to localize like every other damn Atlus game.

For the short term, I'm looking forward to playing Dragon Quest IX, TWEWY (got a copy from a friend a month or two ago), and a bunch of older PS3 games that came out before I owned a PS3.

This is me about... 8 months ago. I'm still behind on my PS3 games (although I did finish a couple), but I played the **** out of Dragon Quest IX. At least a hundred hours. It was a grind, but good; then it was a grind, but too much. I tried playing TWEWY. Didn't like it. I might give it another chance later in the year.

Right now, I'm pumped for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (February 15th), Dragon Quest VI (also February 15th), Torchlight 2 ("spring 2011"), Uncharted 3 (November 1st), inFamous 2 ("sometime in 2011"), and Diablo III (maaaaybe later this year). I know those are all sequels, but hey - I won't know if something new's good or not until I hear about it.

And speaking of which, there are two DS games that came out recently that have me *very* intrigued. Ghost Trick (ghost detective game by the Phoenix Wright guys), and 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (crazy puzzle/adventure game). One or both of those sounds perfect to get me through the wait before February 15th. Anyone played them?

The Last Guardian

I bet that's going to be phenomenal. Just played Shadow of the Colossus last year, and it was phenomenal.

--------------------

Praise Be To Helix!

Ah, forgot Persona 2 Innocent Sin on my list. That too.

Tactics Ogre, Marvel/Capcom 3, The Last Guardian, FF IV PSP, Duke Nukem Forever (why not?), Elder Scrolls V.

And here's hoping Last Story and Persona 2.1 PSP come out over here!

I have a new game to look forward to: Tales of Graces F. This will be the first time in about 4 or 5 years that there's a new main-series Tales game out in English for a system I actually own. I'll buy this day-one and try to coerce some of my RL friends to play co-op with me.

I find myself utterly aching for Portal 2 right now. I wasn't that bad until I finally preordered it last week, and preloaded it on Steam yesterday. And now I just am frothing at the mouth, waiting.

I suppose that means I should make time for the original ?

When I get the chance, I've mostly been playing FFX on my PC. Since I know FFX like the back of my hand, I can breeze through it without having to worry about what's coming next or what to do, which is convenient given that the only times I am able to play videogames at the moment are times when I'm doing something else as well.

This was me just under 3 months ago. Since then, I've played and LOVED Ghost Trick and 999. Awesome pair of DS games. Really enjoyed Dragon Quest VI, but I still like V and VIII best in the series. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is big fun. Completely insane, way better than 2 at a technical level and in gameplay.

Still waiting on inFamous 2 (dated for June), Uncharted 3 (still 11.1.11 or 1.11.11, whichever you prefer), and Torchlight 2 (pushed back to July/August). Still excited about Tales of Graces F. Still no good idea about Diablo III.

Other than those, the only 2011 game I'm excited about is Disgaea 4, which supposedly comes out this summer. Might be a little burned out from 3, though, so I might not get it day one.

I was sort of ambivalent about this game when I heard the news. I played it at a friend's house not too long ago and was underwhelmed (ironic, considering the game is designed to induce seizures). I just can't get into fighting games that are designed purely for combos.

Currently looking forward to FFIV Complete Collection which comes out next week and Monster Hunter Freedom 3.

Wha? Thanks to me?

And now that I found out that if I buy the PS3 version, it includes a free copy for the PC, I'm getting REALLY itchy about getting a wireless router setup for my console!

I'm going to hold off on Dissidia 012 and FF IV CC for now. I will get them eventually. This is a fact. But for now, I'll just work through my backlog until I can't resist the urge for Dissidia.

And of course I'm excited for Freedom 3. Do we have a release date for the official English-language version yet?

I have both Mortal Kombat and Portal 2 preordered off amazon for next week, first time I've reordered a game in over a year. I got the PS3 version of portal even though the controller is the least ideal of the three possible ones because of the free PC version that comes with it. I'd play it on the PC first time through except I really doubt my current machine can run it very well, and I'm guessing this game will be a little more taxing on my computer than the first because of the outdoor environments

Wow. Well I haven't been playing very many games these past fews but I am looking forward to a few. The Tekken/Streetfighter games look pretty amazing. And as soon as I get some spending money I'll be getting the new Mortal Kombat. Apart from that I can't say I'm too excited about new titles.

Oh and if Saints Row 3 ever gets more than a green light, I'll be looking forward to that one for sure

This is me about... four months ago. inFamous 2 was AWESOME and is probably my choice for game of the year at present. I'll be revisiting that one for sure - might even go for the platinum.

Sadly, Torchlight 2, Tales of Graces F, and Disgaea 4 all got their dates pushed back - Disgaea 4 comes out September 6th, Torchlight 2 is probably coming out in October, and Tales of Graces F lands in 2012. Still pumped for all three of those, especially Disgaea 4. I'm messing around with Disgaea 2 in the interim, to get back in the swing of things.

And of course I'm still pumped for Uncharted. It's probably the PS3's signature series, and Uncharted 2 was everything an action game should be. I'm especially happy that both Chloe and Elena are returning.

Waiting for DQ X. Not sure what system or when they plan to release it. I hear its going to be on the Wii but crap always changes. I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought a 3ds on price drop just so I can have a way to play all the DQ games and if X is released on it, Ill already be ready for it.

It's been in development on the Wii for at least four years now. It's not going to change systems at this point. Horii's gone on record saying that they'll give the first glimpses of DQ X later this year, possibly at TGS in September.

Yeah, I have a feeling its going to be Wii as well ... but its taken 4 years already to get to where it is, whats to stop them from actually putting it on the new Wii because that was the plan to begin with and the reason its taken so long? Or making it the first DQ in 3d or whatever? I just had to cover all available bases.

I still think that spending $150+ on a game system on the possibility that a game might get ported to it after YEARS of development on another system is... a little pointless. If you wanted to play older Dragon Quest games, your best bet would have been buying a regular DS or DS Lite for IV - VI + IX.

But ah well. I'm also pretty pumped for DQ X. I've said over and over - it will probably be the game that makes me buy a Wii.

For once I'm actually looking forward to some things.

Space Marine (Even if I will be amused by how pounded it is by Gears of War, a game which is is slightly similar to in terms of genre if not exactly gameplay)
Modern Warfare 3
Battlefield 3 (Even if I will be amused by how pounded it is by Modern Warfa... Wait.)

I wonder if they'll hold off a bit to see what they can do with the WiiU system. Since that system's HD, has a new controller, and is coming out next year, I would think they'd at least think of that as an option. And I'm sure that developers have known about the new hardware longer than we have, and either way they could delay it. that may be the game that gets me into the series if they do that.

Bringing it back to Skyrim guys: I know that most capital gain for game studios comes from the console markets now. So much to the chagrin of PC gamers; many games have been developed with consoles in mind lately, then ported to PC.

Does anyone know if this is happening with TES V: Skyrim? I'm not sure whether to get it for ps3 or pc, and get it i shall. I SHALL.

Well I woulda said Bleach Soul Ressureccion and Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 a month ago, but I got them both at the beginning of this month, yeah go me.
Games I'm looking out for FF13-2, Tekken X Street Fighter, DBZ Ultimate Tenkaiichi I think its called. Looks pretty nuts or more pumped than raging blast 1 or 2

Kefka's Message of the week: Get off your couch noobs and get my new game Dissidia 012

Looking forward to Fortune Summoners, the third game slated to be localized by Carpe Fulgur (most famous for Recettear), as well as Territoire, another game developed by the makers of Recettear, EasyGameStation. Hopefully, Carpe Fulgur has plans to localize Territoire as well.

I'm tight on money right now, and I haven't even bought Chantelise, but I do plan to buy that sometime.
