With so many big releases like Halo Wars and Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X already come and gone, there is a huge amount of games yet to be released this year, so I thought this would be an appropriate post. So, that said, here are some of the games that you should be looking forward to throughout the next coming months and the entire year really.
- Residient Evil 5 is the first one really worth mentioning, however, I personally won’t be buying this game, I just find it stupid how you can’t move and shoot or reload and shoot, but that’s just my opinion. I know that when this one is release on March 13th, it will be a massive hit.
- Crysis: Maximum Edition – This isn’t a new game, but a box set of all the games rolled into one, you get Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis Wars (the multiplayer) and if you haven’t yet played any of them, that will be the perfect box set for you. March 20th is when this game is hitting the shelves.
- Singstar: Queen – March 20th.
- Aliens: Colonial Marines. Not much has been released about this one so far, but considering how good the Alien films are, I have high hopes. Strange release dates though for it, March 27th for PC and then unconfirmed for PS3 and Xbox 360.
- Batman Arkam Asylum. Being a huge Batman fan myself, I hope this is going to be a good one. By the looks of the trailer you have to fight your way around Arkam Asylum to defeat the evil joker, all in rather good graphics. It seems that this is having seperate release dates for the 360 and PS3, however, I am not convinced.
- The Godfather 2 – 10/04
- The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. If you loved the first Chronicles of Riddick game, then you will love this one. with voices of Vin Diesel and still with a bit of FPS and hand combat involved, it should be a good game. April 24th is when it’s hitting the shops.
- Fuel – I have only seen a few screenshots for this one, and it looks alot like the PS3 game, Motorstorm. Hopefully, it’s going to be a great racing game.
- X Men Origins: Wolverine. We’ll just have to see how good this one is as it is a move game, some are good, some are bad.
- Terminator Salvation – 22/05
- Prototype – A strange one, you play as a genetically modified person who now has super powers, might be good. Set for release in June 2009
- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction – This game has been in development for a long long time so it really carries alot of expectations but lets hope it will be released when they say this time, June 2009.
- The Sims 3 – Although alot of people play the Sims games, I hate them, simply because I think they have milked it too much. The amount of expansions for the game is insane, but I know people will want to get it, so here it is in the list.
- Ghostbusters – Who ya gonna call? June 19th
- Dirt 2 – 9/09
- Tekken 6 – 25/09
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – This game was only announced recently but it will definitely be a massive hit, with the amount of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s sold and the amount of awards it picked up, this sequel will hopefully be even better.
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2
It looks like a pretty good upcoming year for games. Hopefully no game developers or publishers will go bust and end up cancelling some games, fingers crossed.
