What 1st Qtr Games Will You Look Foward To 2012!

Post by TEKTORO »

Hello there,
So were back and its a fresh New Year,we had some earlier discussion going on about what Current/Modern Gen Console games us retro gamers are looking foward to Holiday 2011-Early 2012.

The topic began as we approached 2012,so with the holiday releases out of the way and a more defined idea of whats actually coming 1st Qtr 2012.Lets keep this going with our most anticipated and must have games and why!

Somethings I wanted fell thru and others were way off date.
We have PS Vita launch coming to talk about!(Feb.22,2012)
And last but not least Console releases are Topic of intrest 360,PS3,PSP,Vita,Wii,3DS.

Thanks Everyone for your input!

MY PICKS:
Silent Hill HD Collection-Lots of Hd collections being made now a days and most are great values.Always a Fan of SH and its been a while since I played maybe the fresh paint will change all that.

Neverdead-Kinda giving me the Shadows of the damned impression,which has my intrest to say the least.

SSX-With my brittle knees after 13+ years of skateboarding and a busy toddler,theres no reason to get my Thrash on with this one.Hope we have some snow during the time SSX comes out that would add to the experience.

Hakuoki:Demon of the Fleeting Blossom LE-Late life PSP game that sounds and looks promising!Really dont know too much about it yet.

XCOM-Is it coming or not..Idk either way Im still backing this one up,but now Im confused to hear theres two of them one Strategy and the other a FPS?

Mass Effect 3-Absolutely adore the others,little dissappointed in hearing it dubbed as "Gears of Mass Effect" but as long as the story caps off nicely I dont really care about any of the other gimmicks.Leave it as a trilogy and let the suffering end there.

Farcry 3-Did this get pushed to 4th Qtr?If so that sux but still my Most anticipated GOTY.

My Honorable Mentions Would Be:
Silent Hill Downpour,Sine Mora,Counter Strike:GO and I am Alive.

My Prior Picks:
BF3-Never got around to it and the lust has wore off.
Lotr:War of the North-Did anyone buy this game?.....NO.
Armored Core V-Wasnt intented to be an early 2012 release.(Excluded)
Bishock Infinite-4th Qtr
Xcom-4th Qtr...Wait which one is it again?

Okay now your turn :D

hopefully Sturmwind is reasonably priced.

I'm not quite sure when Lollipop Chainsaw will hit, but that looks amazing to me.

Skyward Sword's about the only thing I'm really looking forward to right now.

Well there's also Arkham City, but I think that's a bit soon to call it a 'holiday' release.

oh maybe that new Kirby too.

I think just a lot of folks who loved the original X-COM games are really upset about the new direction of this one.
