[explicitd]

Medal of Honor? Really?

[R_aVe_N]

Nothing all wrong with him wanting Medal of Honor its on my list as well XD.

[TekoIie]

This MOH looks VERY good! 2010 was awful.

[explicitd]

My top 5 Most Anticipated (in no particular order):

Halo 4
Dishonored
Assassin's Creed 3
Darksiders 2
Far Cry 3

[slixshot]

Yes (I only own a 360 to play Halo)
Yes (Looks like this year's Deus Ex = Amazing)
Yes (AMERICA)
Yes (Darksiders was such a great surprise)
Nope (Sorry, just doesn't look special... and that coop presentation was awful at E3)

I'd replace Far Cry 3 with Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Borderlands 2 or PS Allstars.

:) Solid list, anyway.

[CaptainPunch]

I can't wait to play Assassin's Creed 3.

[CaptainPunch]

Lol you guys aren't fans of Assassin's Creed?

[CircleGuy]

I will, as I always do, hold out hope for the 007 game. Maybe it'll be awesome? Sadly, always disappointed.

Awesome list guys, thanks

[R_aVe_N]

My Top 5 for the rest of 2012

2. Assassin's Creed 3 Limited Edition (paid for)
3. Darksiders 2
4. Medal of Honor: Warfighter
5. Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation

[Cueil]

it's not a Bethesda game Bethesda is just publishing it

[R_aVe_N]

[Swiggins]

[Glitch100]

This is more of a ' I went on amazon looked @ coming soon and wrote an article on it, and then used my affiliate links to try and earn some money' . You could of at least said what you were looking forward to?

[beer_baron]

I did list my top 5 on the bottom of the post

[araman]

Guild Wars 2 will be occupying the majority of my time. Have enjoyed what I've played in beta so far, amazing stuff for an MMO.

[Ser]

Ditto. I've been waiting for nearly 6 years...Anything after August 25th is a bonus for me. :)

[Fullmetalevolust]

I'm looking forward to Ragnarok Odyssey and Jet Set radio on the Vita

[booni3]

2. TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2
3. DEAD OR ALIVE 5
4. DARK SOULS: ARTORIAS OF THE ABYSS
5. POKEMON: BLACK AND WHITE 2

That's more like it.

[Cueil]

[van-essa]

DEAD OR ALIVE 5 and Maybe Borderlands 2. DoA 5 for sure.

[CoryHG]

Good, this fall will give me some time to invest in games i've already bought and haven't played.

[WeskerChildReborned]

I'm lookinh forward to AC3, ZombiU, and the Wii U itself.
If anymore Wii U games are announced that i find interesting, then i'll add them to my list.
I might also check out Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3, and Medal of Honor: Warfigher but if the Wii U is really fun, i'll probably be on it for a while lol.

[Phish]

Good article - Informative and appreciated!

[Dowie]

Calmer than last year. Generally a good thing but most of the games I was really excited for got pushed to early 2013.

I still have Borderlands 2 and Halo 4 to look forward too. I'm also hoping for WiiU this year.

[cfountain]

Sleeping Dogs
Borderlands 2
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
PS All-stars Battle Royale
Ratchet & Clank HD Collection

i will wait for steam christmas sale and pick most of them at 50% off!No more day one buy for me,my backlog will keep me fully intertain until another sale on steam or until the console version of some of those games comes down to $30 or less.

[deletingthis34675334]

There is 4 games out of that list I am getting...Darksiders, Guild Wars, Boarderlands and Dark Souls. Far Cry 3...I MIGHT, but only if it turned out better than the predecessor. The rest is mostly shooters, driving games, and crappy kids games. Epic Mickey...nah, I am not 6.

and assassins creed 3

[ninavoljic]

It ain't big without a new GTA title.

[wnek9]

guild wars 2
borderlands 2

[pwneddemocrat]

Why does the site just wants me to Pre-order them games?

Anyways, there goes my college allowance.

[Treian]

Guild Wars 2!!!!!!!!!!!

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Sleeping dogs
Dead Or Alive 5
BorderLands 2
Black Ops 2
Halo 4
Forza Horizon
Assassins Creed III

Not guaranteed I'm buying all of them though.

[iamlegend9999]

Couple of games that shouldn't be on here but whatever

[TheLastGuardian]

There should be a list for games coming out 2012 that don't have solid release dates yet like Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, LBP Karting etc.

[Tornadobounce]

Freedom fighters

[StreetsofRage]

Halo 4 and Forza Horizons are going to be BEAST!!!

Sleeping Dogs coming out this year? Assassins Creed III, Black Ops 2, Borderlands 2, and Darksiders 2 and I'm one very busy gamer. :)

[cuddlemonkey]

Where's black ops 2? Wth?

[OllieBoy]

Assassin's Creed III
Sleeping Dogs
Borderlands 2
PS All-Stars

That's it for me. Pretty weak year all around, 2013 looks a lot better.

[Zichu]

I've been trying to sort my list out for months now and I think I have sorted my preorder list.

Sleeping Dogs
Borderlands 2
Dishonored
Assassin's Creed 3
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Hitman Absolution
Far Cry 3
Tales of Grace F
Mugen Souls
One Piece Pirate Warriors

I'm from the UK, so Tales of Grace isn't out yet. I also said I wasn't going to get CoD this year, I did have MoH on my list a few months ago, but I just had to take stuff off my list.

Games I will probably get in December if I am done with these games are XCOM Enemy Unknown, Dark Souls PtD and maybe Darksiders 2 (Haven't played the first one yet though).

I would say I have a good variety of games for this year. RPG's, FPS's, TPS, Racing, etc.

[Sizzon]

Assassins Creed III (pre-ordered)
Halo 4
Hitman Absolution
PS All-Stars Battle Royale

that's what I'm getting :)
