really looking forward to Mass Effect 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3. i might give Diablo 3 a shot, i haven't played either of the first two. a new Hitman game will be nice. not too sure about Rising yet.

It's a solid list all the way around, but GTAV is the obvious big hitter on the list. And if you're gonna have Bioshock Infinite on the list, which isn't a true sequel, you might as well add Twisted Metal and SSX (two games I'm also hyped for).

"Bioshock Infinite on the list, which isn't a true sequel"

Infinite is the true sequel. Kevine Levine designed this series to tell a new tale in a new time period. But all have powers, all have simliar main iconic enemies, all have the steampunk themes. It's like Final Fantasy as in BIOSHOCK is a name. Levine never wanted a Rapture sequel and 2nd one, although good, wasn't part of the series. Bioshock Infinite is Bioshock 2. I don't know why you thought otherwise, but no worries mate. now you know and knowing is half the battle.

@Daveman down below me.

You are right, it's basically a new IP, but only to the same extent of each FF or GTA being a new IP. Yes and no on that one. It's still a first person exploration game with shooting, puzzle solving, story telling, RPG elements, and some survival horror. It's got all the things that make Bioshock great, but each one is enhanced. Next Bioshock could be anywhere, but I bet you it'll be steampunked, have tons of political topics, be a shooter exploration game, and have some sort of power. I think it's brilliant. The first one was the best original use of the FPS style since Half Life 2 and Metroid Prime.

it sucks they toned down Ninja gaiden 3 for the casuals

jthamind5290d ago

it's definitely not the Ninja Gaiden that Itagaki would have made, but i've been playing Ninja Gaiden since the NES days, so it's still a day one purchase for me.

1. Guild Wars 2
2. Diablo III
3. Arma III
4. Planetside 2
5. Starcraft 2 Heart of The Swarm

Why is Bioshock Infinte listed as a sequel? It doesn't take place before or after Bioshock (levine said it MIGHT be in the same universe, or it might not) so I'm not sure why it's considered a sequel.

dcortz20275290d ago

I think by sequel the author means the next game in the series(whether sequel,prequel). I'm looking forward to playing Max Payne 3 and Himan Absolution next year.

DaveMan5290d ago

Still, it's not even the next game in series. Ken Levine said that the name Bioshock is there because it's recongnizeable name, instead of having the title Infinite.

For all purposes it's a new ip if you ask me.

Hatiko5290d ago

That's like saying each final fantasy is a new IP. It still has a similar concept/theme just in a different world.

bloodcut5290d ago

Looking forward to GTA V.

Play all the GTA Games.

_Aarix_5290d ago (Edited 5290d ago )

I believe you mean..Play ALL the GTA games!!!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing30d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9230d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit30d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing30d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9230d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
