List of 2012 games

Hey guys it's Tom again. And this time I made a list of games that the four of us are really excited to see when they come out in 2012, of course not EVERY game is listed. But here are some to look forward to in the year 2012...

2012

Hitman Absolution

Never played the first game, but Geoff promises that this is a series not to miss! Perhaps someday i'll play the first game in order to be prepared for this one. Also, wasn't there a Hitman movie?

Dragon's Dogma

This site once also had a dragons dogma background. This is suppose to be some kind of adventure game, probably an rpg, about midieval legends. Of course, i'm going by what I saw in the trailer. 

   

Ninja Gaiden 3

Ninja Gaiden franchise is considered to unleash difficult games, it's also very bloody. But rumors say that the blood has been toned down for this third game for the purpose of a reason i don't know. Let's hope this ain't true.

Bioshock Infinite

Me and Taylor are huge fans of the Bioshock series, Geoff not so much, and Shrew is hard to read. But this next game doesn't take place under the sea, but in the clouds above! I fricken can't wait for this game to come out in February.

Prototype 2

The first game was really fun. Sadly not every reviewer agrees with me, sure it's not worth the full price of 60 bucks but it sure as heck is worth 30! The sequel promises more corrections and fix ups of what people disliked in the first game.

     

Mass Effect 3

Yeah baby! It's great that a third sequel is being made, it's even greater that it's also coming out on the PS3 to introduce a wider fan base to the genre. i'll get this after i get mass effect 2.

 

Darksiders 2

 My second cousin helped with the art design of the first game, and he did a dang good job at it too! I liked the first game but Shrew has other opinions, the first was long and kinda dragged in the middle but you feel so accomplished when you beat it. In the sequel you get to play the second horseman, Death, and follow his adventures.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

Recently announced, this is the sequel to the first epic game War for Cybertron which is still considered the best transformers game ever made and it started a new genre in the gaming world. I trully thought the first game was amazing and can't wait for the sequel!

 

Alien: Colonial Marines

I was worried for this game, but after watching the director's walkthrough i'm impressed. It looks like we'll be getting a good scary treat next year.

Soulcalibur V

The fifth soulcalibur game will finally be released next year. the fourth was fun but let's face it, you eventually get sick of vader and yoda's influence. I wonder what special guest will be in the fifth one?

 

the Darkness 2

I thought the first game was just ok, language can be toned down but it was ok. I hope the sequel improves.

 

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

There's another game coming out called Tekken x street fighter, but this is the one i'm more excited about! I own and love the first game.

 

XCOM

I have no freakin clue what XCOM is about. But it's coming out in 2012, and I think only Geoff knows what this game has to offer. But is anyone excited for this? Why is this on this list?

 

Tomb Raider

Geoff worries for this game but i'm excited for whatever this will unveil. Almost all Tomb Raider games have been fun and even near or close to perfection. This Prequel tells the story of Laura's very first excavation.

Exclusives

Now we look at console exclusives...

for Xbox 360

     HALO 4

As a PS3 guy I must ask: do we really need another HALO game? I don't hate the HALO franchise, I enjoyed HALO 2, 3, and Reach, but I thought the Franchise closed the HALO story for good! Oh well.

for PS3

   the Last Guardian

ICO and Shadow of the Collossus were beautiful games, Geoff and I can both agree that Last Guardian will be just as Amazing. But when will it freakin come out! X0

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

Finally a fourth Sly game is coming. And we'll be ready when it does. The first three are games that are must buys!

Twisted Metal

As if that evil clown couldn't be scary enough, this game was actually announced way back in 2010 but was delayed to now be released in february 2012, so um... happy valentine's day?

for the 3DS

      

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Funny how this was the first game announced for the 3DS, and it isn't even out yet. But that doesn't change our excitement for it. Especially Shrew's, cause he actually has a 3DS.

for DLC

I am Alive

Shocking! This game is still being released, but after all this time we finally have a legit and hopefully perminant release date. 

(sorry but I was unable to find any future Wii or PC games, if you know any please let me know)

Future Consoles:

Now we look at upcoming consoles and handheld devices being made by the three leading companies...

       the Wii U

Originally called the Wii 2, this is another major advancement in gaming history cause the controllers for this console are suppose to have miniature HD screens on them, allowing you to take the game wherever you want to go to. This is also suppose to play older games like the Nintendo retro and Nintendo 64.

 

the PSVita

First there was the PSP, then there was the PSPgo (which was crap), then the PSphone. Now we have the next new entree, the PSVita! Now we have a handheld with two analog sticks! Also, the entire backside is a touchscreen. Sadly, It is said that this will have poor power length, much like the 3DS.

Now for a teaser...

coming...

coming...

coming...

NOW!  

the Xbox 720!!!?!!?

   Now don't get too excited, it's probably just bullcrap. but there's a new movie coming out called Real Steel (our opinions of the movie don't matter cuz this is a gaming website) but aparently there's a scene in the trailers that reveals what appears to be a banner advertising a new Xbox, called the Xbox 720. and the movie does take place in 2020, and Microsoft DID announce that a new console was coming out in ten or so years. So is this for real the name for the future console, or is it just coincidence? [i have no idea why this relates to these 2012 releases]

Games that i have no idea which console they go on...

Resident Evil: Revelations

   Yay! More evil from the resident's! 

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney

Tell me Geoff, is this just for the DS or is it also for the 3DS and the Wii?

until next time. -Tom West
