Upcoming video games to get excited about
With so many big releases like Halo Wars and Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X already come and gone, there is a huge amount of games yet to be released this year, so I thought this would be an appropriate post. So, that said, here are some of the games that you should be looking forward to throughout the next coming months and the entire year really.
- Residient Evil 5 is the first one really worth mentioning, however, I personally won’t be buying this game, I just find it stupid how you can’t move and shoot or reload and shoot, but that’s just my opinion. I know that when this one comes out on March Friday 13th, it will be a massive hit.
- Crysis: Maximum Edition - This isn’t a new game, but a box set of all the games rolled into one, you get Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis Wars (the multiplayer) and if you haven’t yet played any of them, that will be the perfect box set for you. The game is due for release on March 20th.
- Singstar: Queen - March 20th.
- Aliens Colonial Marines. Not much has been said or relesed about this one, but my hopes are high for it. Odd release dates though for it, March 27th for PC and then unconfirmed for PS3 and Xbox 360.
- Batman: Arkam Asylum. Me being a Batman fan I hope this is going to be a good one. By the looks of the trailer you have to fight your way around the asylum. Looks like separate release dates for PS3 and 360, not convinced though.
- The Godfather 2 - 10/04
- The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. If you coulnd’t put down the first Chronicles of Riddick game, then you should love this one. with voices of Vin Diesel and still with a bit of FPS and hand combat involved, it should be a good game. Hitting the shops on April 24th.
- Fuel - I have only seen a few screenshots for this one, and it looks alot like the PS3 game, Motorstorm. I just hope that it’s going to be a good racing game.
- X Men Origins: Wolverine. We’ll just have to wait and see if this is going to be a good one as it’s a move game, some can be good and some can be poor.
- Terminator Salvation - 22/05
- Prototype - A strange one, you play as a genetically modified person who now has super powers, might be good. Set for release in June 2009
- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction - This game has been in development for a long long time so it really carries alot of expectations but lets hope it will be released when they say this time, June 2009.
- The Sims 3 - Although alot of people play the Sims games, I hate them, simply because I think they have milked it too much. The amount of expansions they have is insane, but I know people will buy it so here it is in the list.
- Ghostbusters - Who ya gonna call? June 19th
- Dirt 2 - 9/09
- Tekken 6 - 25/09
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - This game was only announced recently but it will definitely be a massive hit, with the amount of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s sold and the amount of awards it picked up, this sequel will hopefully be even better.
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2
It looks like a pretty good upcoming year for games. Hopefully no game publishers or developers will go bust, fingers crossed.
