Video Games you're looking forward to this year.

GTA 4
Halo 3
Forza Motorsport 2 (I made money in the first game, customizing cars for people).

A lot of the games already listed have me happy in my pants. I don’t know if it’s due this year, but Resident Evil 5 is high on my list of “Games I’d sell an ovary for”. But the game I’m looking most forward to… Is Tomb Raider Anniversary.

It’s sad, I know. But I love the original Tomb Raider and if they keep the story and levels mostly the same but with Next Gen graphics, gameplay and physics? I’ll be the happiest girl in the world.

Hey, you’re me! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve always liked Blizzard’s cartooniness. It’s easy to go ultra realistic, and we have plenty of games for that. When I think fondly of Blizzard, I think “Zug Zug,” not cool battle scenes.

Won’t hardly matter. StarCraft 2 will suck like a black hole inside another black hole. It’ll be another spell heavy micro-manage nightmare, only playable by 12 year olds on Redbull.

You’re just upset because you didn’t have Red Bull when you were 12 too. :slight_smile:

Spore

I know it’s been out, but has anyone tried War Front: Turning Point?

No one else looking forward to the new Zelda? Hopefully it will be more fun the Twilight Princess.

Sigh, after that everything else I really want is so far out. Although I am interested in seeing what they’ve done with Final Fantasy when they put it on the PSP.

One thing I absolutely loved about Warraft 3 was that I didn’t have to manually select each unit and use its special abilities. It was such a pain in the tail to do so that I rarely used such special in other games (like Warcraft 2).

So basically, a lot of people like Starcraft (or in this case, likely sc2, as I can’t see them going THAT far away from the base they’re building on), and some people like Total Annihilation (or in this case, Supreme Commander). There isn’t anything WRONG with this, you know… it’s probably better off that the games NOT be that similar. :wink:

Me? Give me WC3 any day of the week, even more so before the expansion when the level unit was even lower. I enjoyed SC, but WC3 was exactly the perfect mix of building armies, and actually being able to CONTROL those armies to maximum effectiveness on a tactical level, down to the individual unit as necessary. Micromanagement can actually be satisfying when it’s reasonably accessible, as it turns out!

Err, back to the OP, I honestly can’t say there’s a single game for the rest of this year that I’m looking forward to at this moment. I’m playing Vanguard right now, so I guess you could say I’m looking forward to the day - in another few months or so, in all likelihood - when that game SHOULD have been released (it’s improved in leaps and bounds already, and there’s still a lot more room for fixes and tweaks).

Just thought I’d pop back in and resuscitate this thread in light of a torrent of buzz around one of the titles discussed in the last part of the thread …

Blizzard has announced plans to unveil “a new game” on May 19th at their Worldwide Invitational in Seoul. Considering South Korea is, well, a veritable Zerg hive of StarCraft tournament devotees, I think it’s a fair assumption we’re looking at seeing the first shots of StarCraft 2 in less than a month. Blizzard’s unwillingness to offer any insight about it only feeds the notion even more. If this were a new title, they’d probably at least say “it’s a new intellectual property” or some such. Supposedly, a gaming community newsletter in Korea is confirming it will indeed be SC2, but Blizzard has absolutely refused to comment so far.

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures by Funcom looks interesting to me. Problem is, the game is subscription based. sigh :frowning:

Adding Tabula Rasa looks promising too.
