My Gaming Wishlist For The Next Six Months

edited July 2007 in Video Games
  • Bioshock: Xbox 360, Windows PC - FPS
    One of the most promising FPS games I have seen in a long time. With a heavy Post-WWII Art Deco theme, Bioshock appears to have rich story line and innovative game play. Introduction of plasmids (genetic abilities that you are able to wield like spells) allow the player to customize their character to their preferred play style. I believe that this game looks to be on par with the great FPS games like HL2.

  • Team Fortress 2: Xbox 360, PS3, Windows PC - FPS
    Really, does anything more need to be said? We have been waiting for this game for a long time. It promises to be the number one multiplayer game of the year, if not the next few.

  • Mass Effect: Xbox 360 - RPG
    Bioware has a great history of making immersive games and RPG's. After playing KOTOR, I was impressed by their ability to freshen up the RPG genre, especially on the console. Mass Effect looks like it will provide a deep universe in which the story will develop and new technology will provide a seemingly cinematic experience. No more long dialog that has to be read before continuing with the conversation. Real time combat will also keep the player active in the game.

  • Rock Band: Xbox 360, PS3 - Rhythm
    Rock band takes the rhythm genre to the next level. Taking note from Guitar Hero, Rock Band will provide up four players to live out their musical desires by allowing them to play guitar, bass guitar, drums, or even sing in a USB microphone. This may be one of the ultimate party games.

  • Super Smash Brothers Brawl: Wii - Fighting
    The third installment in Nintendo's famous fighting series, SSB:B adds new levels and characters to allow gamers to battle it out with their favorite video game persona's. However, lacking any online functionality, SSB:B may fall short of of our expectations.

  • Super Mario Galaxy: Wii - Platformer
    Miyamoto is back with our favorite plumber, Mario. In our newest adventure, Mario will set out for outer space to rescue the Princess from Bowser. Two player co-operative functionality will certainly make this a game to pick up.

    I'm with you 90%. I don't want Bioshock only because I haven't even started to play System Shock 2 yet. Also, the system requirements are too high. Mass Effect I have no interest in, neither do I have interested for Call of Duty. Every other game here I am all about.

    Add two more games, Golden Sun DS and Phantom Hourglass.

    GOLDEN SUN DS!? !? !? !? HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS? I loved the first two games! Do you know when it's coming out?

    Do NOT remove my edits!

    Sorry.

    Phantom Hourglass
    Don't you ever get tired of playing the same basic Zelda formula? I would think that in the Windwaker of your lackluster review of Twilight Princess that your anticipation for the DS title would be dulled.

    Personally, I am happily awaiting the DS version of FFIV. Which, in light of my above statement, must seem sadly ironic.

    I could add Contra 4 DS . . . giggle.

    Twilight Princess was pretty awesome, it just wasn't as good as OOT, and isn't worth playing more than once. Minish Cap blew. However, it is the 2D Zeldas that are typically the highest quality. Add to that the awesomeness of the DS, and Phantom Hourglass is worthy of high expectations. The same could have been said for Twilight Princess, except that was really a GameCube game, not a Wii game. A true Wii Zelda would also get some high expectations.

    I didn't like OOT that much, I very much preferred LTTP. I really don't understand why everyone thinks that OOT was the greatest. I felt it was very overrated. I am looking forward to Phantom Hourglass, though.
  • MitchyDMitchyD
    Lair, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Metal Gear Solid, Mass Effect, Too Human, apparently Golden Sun DS is coming so awwwww YEAH! I still need to play the sequel. :)

    Pretty much first party Wii games, and Syphon Filter on the PSP.
  • zombie a gogozombie a gogo
    I have many as you may have seen from an earlier post, but I've come to my senses and hope now to focus on 3 or 4 games. I hope to time it like this, Bio-Shock in August, War-Hawk in early September, Halo 3 in late September and then the Half-Life Orange Box starting in October and for a long long time after that, I see a lot of replay value with that set.
  • MitchyDMitchyD
    Don't forget Assassins Creed, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3...
  • SailSail
    I'm pretty much 100% with you, WiP.
  • zombie a gogozombie a gogo
    I'm not into the music sim games and I hear Assassins Creed disappointed at E3.

    I actually enjoyed Minish Cap. But, no Zelda game has topped LTTP. Four Swords came close, but only during 4 person multiplayer. I'm really looking forward to PH, though, because I loved the art style and themes of WW.

    Classic.

    Add Beautiful Katamari to the list.
  • MitchyDMitchyD
    God what system(s) is Katamari ACTUALLY coming to? It seems to switch daily.

    All of them? Now?

    The only one up there that I'm super interested in is Brawl. Also Rockband and Mario Galaxy to a lesser extent. It's hard to be excited about games on consoles I don't own. My PS2 has still got plenty of life left in it, dangit! DX

    Trials and Tribulations and Phantom Hourglass is where it's at! :D
  • iSuckiSuck
    Those are great selections!

    I'm in love with my Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, it's easier with the aiming reticle.
    Also I'm kind of looking forward to Resident Evil - Umbrella Chronicles, the Wii exclusive. Rail Shooter FTW!
    I was bummed out when I found out that Phantom Hourglass was coming out in '08. But I'll eventually get my hands on it. :D
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    Damn you WiP. I promised myself I was going to give up gaming in favour of drawing and then you throw all that at me. Hows a man supposed to cope!
    I'm probably going to swap consoles with someone just so I can play Bioshock as I wouldn't want an X36 for much else.
  • WyattWyatt
    I am not sure about how good Bioshock will play. It looks really pretty and I love anything steam punk. I am still looking forward to Assassin's Creed being released in a hopefully timely fashion. Too Human looks like it should be good. They've already said it's already part of a trilogy. I am not so keen on them planning it out so far in advance. I remember a Lord of the Rings Game for the SNES that flopped so bad they never made the sequels to it leavening everyone wondering what happened. Well unless you read the book or waited till Peter Jackson finished making B zombie movies. Also, I wonder if it is just the 360 response to God of War. Just in the future with the Norse pantheon. Yes Pete it's cyborg viking gods you should be all about this game.
  • glimpsterglimpster
    Got damn! Bioshock looks good. I think it'll beat everything this year, at least when it comes to visual performance.
  • LiquidTimLiquidTim
    I am getting these games for sure.
    Grand Theft Auto IV (360) - Oct. 16th
    Assassin's Creed (360) - Nov. 9th
    Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - Nov. 12th
    Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) - Dec. 3rd

    These are potential games to get based on reviews or word of mouth.
    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360)
    God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP) - Nov.
    Mass Effect (360) - TBA 2007
    Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action (360) - Holiday
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (360) - Nov. 16th

    That is basically my list.

    Is it just me or does the new Zelda DS game look really lackluster?

    It's just you. :O
  • zombie a gogozombie a gogo
    Ok, I think I have my list finalized:

    1) BioShock
    2) Halo 3
    3) Half Life 2 Orange Box
    4) Grand Theft Auto 4
    5) Mass Effect
    6) Call of Duty 4

    That should keep me busy.

    Whoa . . . as in a video game version of the board game? One more reason for my wife to let me get a next-gen console!

    Yes sir. It comes with four 'big button' controllers, 1,800 video questions, downloadable content, and twenty game play modes. All this (including the four controllers) for $60.

    Now MS can contest with this.



    Seriously. It's huge in the Euro area...
  • VentureJVentureJ
    Am I the only one that wants to get Mario Strikers: Charged when it comes out (July 30)?

    I got to play that at Connecticon, my friend has the European version (and a modded Wii which is how we were able to play it.) It's really a lot of fun, especially with other people in the room, which I guess all Wii games should be.
