what games are you looking forward to in 2012?

What games are you planning to play in 2012? It doesn't need to be 2012 releases though. It's any games you are looking forward to.  
 
 
Me, after getting all the Uncharted trilogy, I'm now looking towards: 
 

• Catherine (yet unreleased in EU);
• Loolipop Chainsaw
• Heavy Rain
• Darkness II
• Mass Effect 3

Anybody have a list of games to be released in 2012? All I can think of is Fire Emblem: Kakusei and maybe Asura's Wrath.

Diablo III, Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, Mass Effect 3, The Last of Us, and MAYBE the new Assassins Creed game if its different enough. Oh and I guess Bioshock Infinite and GTA V.

Shameless Plug: Most of the games on this list come out in 2012.

This is the only one I can think of at the moment. Not too sure on what all is coming out this year.

• Syndicate
• Mass Effect 3
• Resident Evil 6
• GTA V (?)
• MG Rising
• GRID 2
• Prey 2
• Borderlands 2
• Tomb Raider
• Hitman: Absolution
• The Last of Us

My library must have these by december:

Armored Core 5, Syndicate, Darksiders 2, Binary Domain and Prototype 2.

2012 is a boring year for me. Maybe only Hitman interests me. Oh well, we got Skyrim modding so it's gonna be a good year.

Literally none. 2011 blew up my anticipation radar, it's gonna take a year to finish my 2011 games and move on. 
 
I was looking forward to Max Payne 3, but playing MP1 and 2 in 14 hours (total) last week made me realize MP3 is impossible to not be a disappointment.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has caught my eye this week.

The preview videos released a few months ago didn't impress me all that much. I was worried it would be another generic and rather mediocre title, but the rave reviews have definitely intrigued me. It will probably be my next purchase, providing I can complete Skyrim and Dark Souls sometime soon.

This is the year of the Western RPG for me.

Feb - KoA: Reckoning

March - Mass Effect 3

April - Witcher 2

May Dragon's Dagma (it's Western RPGish)

Later 2012 - Monster Hunter on the Vita

the last of us

the last guardian

the last mass effect

the last bioshock

...asura's wrath

what a beautiful list

Mass Effect 3

That's about it for now

Diablo 3.

• Mass Effect 3
• Persona 4: The Golden
• Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena
• Good People Die
• Grand Theft Auto V
• Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm
• Bioshock Infinite
• Paper Mario 3DS
• Gravity Rush
• Prey 2

Bioshock Infinite

Mass Effect 3 (later - I sealed my fate of having to wait for it yesterday)

Borderlands 2 (well, we'll see if it's more story driven or another MMO "gather 20 bear asses" type)

Resident Evil 6

Prey 2 and Syndicate also look interesting, and The Darkness 2 just plain looks fun.

That new Insomniac game - what was it called?

The Last of Us, if we see a 2012 release.

Literally none. 2011 blew up my anticipation radar, it's gonna take a year to finish my 2011 games and move on.

As for the rest of the year:

• Tales of Graces f
• Xenoblade Chronicles
• Devil May Cry HD Collection

- Final Fantasy xiii-2

- Darkness 2

- Monster Hunter Frontier ( if it comes out for america -_-)

Later 2012 - Monster Hunter on the Vita 3DS

Fixed that for you!

• Mass Effect 3
• Hitman: Absolution
• XCOM: Enemy Unknown
• Whatever Tim Schafer's game will be

That's about it. Kingdoms of Amalur was a possibility, but I knew to wait until it was released. After having played the demo and watched reviews, I don't think it's a game that I will be picking up for full price. Maybe during a Steam sale.

Mass Effect 3 I'm generously going to play a friend's copy on his 360, because I refuse to use Origin. Personal preference, doesn't mean everyone has to avoid it.
