No games to look forward to in Q3/Q4...
I'm looking forward to Fallout: New Vegas, Dead Rising 2, the new DA:O DLC, Metroid: Other M, Fable III... Maybe Rock Band 3, if I ever get enough money to buy it already. Dunno if they suit your needs. More info about your taste of games would be useful.
Dead Rising 2
LittleBigPlanet 2
Fallout: New Vegas
Fable III
Rock Band 3
AC: Brotherhood
Gran Turismo 5
The Force Unleashed 2
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
EA's MMA
Metroid: Other M
Kinect and all of its release games
Move and all of its release games
If not a single one of those excites you then God only knows what sort of weird gaming interests you have.
Yeah, im semi looking forward to fallout and fable, although they look way to simlar to there predecessors to blow me away. It seems like the Games industry is going the way of hollywood and only backing what they think are "sure fire hits". This is not a good thing! Where is the imagination/invention? A new Genre hasnt been created/re-imagined since the whole rhythm game explosion.
I want something fresh, new and exciting! Is that too much to ask?
Red Dead was the last game that really "blew me away" in terms of its ideas and then the flawless implementation of them.
I am looking forward to Portal 2, Brink and Diablo 3 but all of them are an eternity away~!

"i gotta be honest, i own over 130 Xbox 360 games and god knows how many PC games. I'm a big, varied gamer. None of that interests me.
For the rest of this year I'm mainly looking forward to Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Ghost Trick.
" @Fluxxed: Your point being? Portal and Diablo are some of the greatest games ever made and fully deserve sequels. The sequels most other people have listed aren't really all that worthy of having sequels. Apart from Fallout and maybe dead rising. "My point being you're wrong. Portal, one of the best games ever? Seriously?

" @Fluxxed: Good to see you simply state rather than clarify your opinion. I would say Portal is a bit better than the game you reference with your avatar buddy. "Oh dear. All you have to say is "My game is better than your game."
That's a shame, I was expecting some originality out of a topic that started out whining about FPS games.

" I'm looking forward to Castlevania and Metroid, sucks for you if you aren't. "This.

" @Fluxxed said:There are also colleges with courses where Jesper Juul, whose material can best be described as mental diarrhea, is required reading, so I don't see how this article supports Portal's supposed status. If anything, it damages it, because judging by what's written in the article ("engaging students with fundamental questions of humanity from multiple perspectives and fostering a sense of community" with Portal, lol. "confront what it means to be human and how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and our world" with Portal, lol.) this Wabash College is a place where consumption and production of mental diarrhea are the only forms of activity allowed." @wjkelso said:" @Fluxxed: Your point being?

Region coding sucks.
For me the rest of this year is packed with stuff I want to play. The only consideration is which I'll buy now (or receive from my wife for my birthday/Christmas) and which I'll pick up on the cheap sometime later.
Civilization 5, PC
Metroid, Wii
Kirby, Wii
Donkey Kong, Wii
Epic Mickey, Wii
Halo Reach, 360
COD: Black Ops, 360
Fallout: New Vegas, 360
Fable 3, 360
LBP2, PS3
Rock Band 3, PS3
Nintendo 3DS if it launches
This is the first time in a long while that I have as many Wii titles on my holiday/birthday wishlist as 360 titles and a relative low point for me on PS3 after a strong past 18 months or so.
Truth be told I could probably pick up Civ 5 and be good for the rest of the year if my PC will play it. Unfortunately, the odds of it running well enough to play into the endgame on either of my PCs is so low that I'll probably wait a couple of years until I have a new PC and pick it up with the inevitable expansions in whatever "gold" or "complete" bundle they produce.
@Jasonofindy:
Well it's about TIME somebody brought up Civ 5! :)
But really, I'm not even worried about the fall line-up in the lest!.
I am still trying to get to all of the games that I have missed since this time LAST year.
Starcraft 2 (I am pricing out a new PC primarily for this as we speak)
Mafia 2
Dragon Age: Awakening (and all the other DLC)
Tropico 3
Alan Wake
Heavy Rain
Darksiders
Bioshock 2
Dantes Inferno
Metro 2033
Splinter Cell Conviction
ModNation Racers
Split Second
Blur
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Monday Night Combat
Limbo
Trine
Ratchet & Clank: Crack in Time
Left 4 Dead 2
The Sabouteur
And honestly, as much as I want to get to everything on my list...I could be perfectly content playing JUST DragonAge, Starcraft2 & Civ5 for the next year and a half.
Yea, there are tons of games to look forward to. Metroid, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Lufia, and a bunch of other games I can't remember.
You've definitely got some beauties on that list to get to. I particularly enjoyed Alan Wake, Heavy Rain, Darksiders, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Left 4 Dead 2
Just a heads up that PS3 Darksiders can be had for $15 w/free shipping from Gamefly during their current sale. Other games from your list are currently on sale right now as well if you are looking to pick them up on the cheap.
I'm really looking forward to Epic Mickey and Vanquish, but then again I liked Mafia and Deathspank and thought Borderlands was one of the worst things I've ever played so your mileage may vary.
