The video games coveting thread

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

After a while out of the loop I grabbed myself the Official PS3 mag at Heathrow airport and realised very quickly that a £5.99 magazine will lead to hundreds of pounds being spent over the coming year.

So the question is, what upcoming games are you most looking forward to?

I can list the following (PS3 unless otherwise stated, bold are the most excitable):

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP)

Agent

Gran Turismo (PSP)

Uncharted 2

Max Payne 3

Red Dead Redemption

Assassin's Creed II

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Ruse

Heavy Rain

The Last Guardian (Ico3)

Modnation Racers

The Agency

EyePet (for the mrs of course)

Little Big Planet (PSP)

Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines (PSP)

Yikes.

[Captain Kirk]

Almost the exact same but there are still so many games I've yet to play that are out already.

Too many games not enough time and money.

[stokeriño]

Modern Warfare II, certainly.

Hearts of Iron III should be coming out at some point. Not entirely sure how it'll improve on HoI2 but I'll inevitably get it all the same.

[Ruki]

Modern Warefare 2.

Dead Rising 2.

Fallout: New Vegas.

Boarderlands.

Left 4 Dead 2.

Is the PSP LittleBIGPlanet going to be the proper game or some downsized monstrosity of it?

Assassin's Creed II is probably the biggest one, seems like it's just going to iron out the creases of the first game, which is A-OK with me. FFXIII, of course. I've got high hopes for Max Payne III, even though it'll likely be awful. SD vs RAW 2010 will probably be my first SD game since 2006, so that should be good fun. Batman's going to be immense and Brutal Legend looks to be the campiest game of the year, so yeah, there's actually quite a few.

Edit: Yeah, Dead Rising 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 should also be awesome.

Oh shit, I forgot FF13!

[Meacon Keaton]

Assassin's Creed 2

Dead Rising 2

But if I could only get one, it'd easily be Modern Warfare 2.

[abundant]

Shadow Complex (XBLA)

Batman Arkham Asylum

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Halo 3: ODST

Brutal Legends

Uncharted 2

GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony

Modern Warfare 2

Assassin's Creed 2

Left 4 Dead 2

[stokeriño]

FF13's still too far away for me to get excited about it.

[MalaCloudy Black]

The ones I care about most are MUA2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum. Red Dead Redemption does look awesome though.

[Hellfire]

Modern Warefare 2. I already know I'm going to lose a large portion of my life playing multiplayer on this, just like I did on Call of Duty 4. I just want to start playing it already.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Screens and news on FFXIV have been released - online game for the PS3 apparantly. Nice.

[New Damage]

Modern Warfare 2

Metal Gear Solid: Rising

I liked the first Max Payne, never played the second but am interested in the third.

Mildly intrigued by Agent, although I know nothing more than they announced at E3: it's a stealth game, PS3 exclusive and by Rockstar.

That's about it of confirmed stuff, but am interested if a TNA Impact 2 is coming and if it's expanded on the first.

[NotoriousGTT]

MSG psp and Rising.

Gran Turismo 5

GT PSP

Uncharted 2

Dead Rising 2

Cant say im that intereted in MW2 as i am the worst FPS player in the world.

Batman would have to be very good to get me interested and so far it seems pretty average.

I'm sure they are more but thats the main 5 i can think of.

EDIT - FM2010, but that goes without saying.

Cross platform servers between PC and PS3 too which is pretty cool.
