2010: The Experiment

The basic premise

 
  •  Create a list of ten games that you are excited for in 2010
  • Add a simple explanation as to why you are excited for each game
  • Post them into this thread
  • As each game is released and upon playing it, post your opinion of the game 
  • At the end of the year we will be able to look back on the games we were excited for, as well as our original expectations for the game compared to the final product.
  

The Goal 

 
Hopefully when this year comes to a close this thread will still be floating about, being updated with the opinions of our most anticipated games.  If this survives the months ahead it will prove to be an interesting take on what we were all excited for and how those games actually turned out.       
 
If you would like to participate in this experiment, simply post your own list here.

List items

  • Westerns are some of my favorite movies of all time and Red Dead Redemption is shaping up to be my perfect game. Grand Theft Auto meets the wild west, I'm already sold. Red Red Revolver was one of my favorite Playstation 2 games, though it was not the perfect game, it was something unique.

  • Sure, Pokemon hasn't changed too much in ten years, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I, like many children of the 90s, grew up on Pokemon. I played the hell out of Red and Blue and when Gold/Silver came out I was hooked once again. This is sure to be one of my most played games of 2010.

  • Mass Effect was an amazing game and BioWare has yet to disappoint me. The trailers and footage released look fantastic and I am really looking forward continuing the story of the Mass Effect universe.

  • Max Payne 1 & 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, so it is a clear choice that Max Payne 3 would be on this list. Though the original team may not be on board for the third installment, I am interested in seeing how this game turns out either way.

  • Dead Space was a fantastic atmospheric game that offered thrills as well as an interesting science fiction story. After the events of the first game I am looking forward to seeing where the second game takes the story.

  • I've been on and off on this game for years. Eventually though, I just gave up hope that the game was ever going to be released. However, in 2010 it looks like we will finally get to get our hands on this game.

  • I'll admit it, I'm a huge Tom Clancy fan. Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and Splinter Cell are some of my favorite game series and Conviction seems to offer a unique change of direction in the stealth action seen in games passed. Another reason that I am stoked for this game is that we will finally get to see Sam Fisher unchained. No more command and no more duty, it is going to be interesting to see how Fisher's character develops in this game.

  • Not much to explain here, Battlefield is awesome.

  • BioShock was an amazing game that offered some of the best moments in a video game that I have ever experienced. Though a little weary of how this sequel, I am still interested in seeing how this game turns out.

  • Super spy RPG? Count me in. I was looking forward to playing this game, but after much delay it should be even better. This game is on this list mainly because it just looks like a lot of fun. Creating your own agent and going about missions in your own way should be great later this year.
