Alas, the new year is just one week old and already does one make projections regarding the games (to be) published this year, in spite of pending backlogs and uncertain release dates. Moreover, the anticipated games list tends to grow dramatically after the annual E3 event.

Another unknown comes from the game prices which are considerably higher for the new next-gen releases, and as neo-PS4 and Wii U owner I have the desire to buy as many of the new games as possible for these two platforms, of course.

Consequently, this is an only provisional list of all video games that I have in mind to acquire (or at least rent, until the price drops) and play during the year, in the order of their presumable release dates:

• Don't Starve -- 01/2014 (PS4)
• Dragon Ball Z: Battle Of Z -- 01/24/2014 (PS3/PSV)
• Tomb Raider Definitive -- 01/31/2014 (PS4)
• Octodad -- 02/2014 (PS4)
• Thief -- 02/2014 (PS3/PS4)
• Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII -- 02/14/2014 (X360)

In bold the games I have a particular interest for and will certainly acquire. And in order to anticipate questions: no plans so far for MGS Ground Zeroes, Dark Souls II, The Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls Online--not since I consider them bad, but simply since I have less interest in these games, for whatever reason.
