In order to continue James line of thinking (whilst also making the first article for 6 months).
What games are people looking forward to this year?

For me Skyrim will keep me busy until June at the earliest.
After that Mass Effect 3 will be the big one and then the new GRAW for it's multiplayer awesomeness!
Mass Effect 3. Everything else can fuck itself
The olympic games, had to do it.
Far Cry 3, Max Payne 3, GTA V and Mass Effect 3 (though haven't played 1 or 2 yet). All of these look potentially awesome. Oh yeah and the new Hitman looks fucking sweet too. Also is the new Brothers in Arms coming out in 2012?
Nothing much is grabbing at me at the moment. I've still got such a massive backlog to start: (Deus Ex, Shogun 2, ME 1&2, Singularity, Metro 2033, AC2, X3, Civ 5, LA Noir, Hard Reset.... whoa, I could still go on) Singularity, from what I've played looks amazing; like Bioshock and HL had a baby.
I hope they learned the lessons from Far Cry 2, what a POS; there was only so many times killing people at the same check points I could take before it got tedious.
I didn't think Far Cry 2 was a piece of shit - I got many, many hours of enjoyment from that game. It wasn't perfect and had some annoying features (e.g. respawning checkpoints), but I had a lot of fun killing the same guys in countless different ways.
From what I've read, Far Cry 3 will be taking all the criticisms of FC2 seriously.
I think the criticisms of FC2 were valid and i put lots of hours into the game - nearly collected all the hidden gems, but it was a bit blah from the get go i found. FC3 looked really cool in the gameplay trailer i saw.
I used to play a few silent hill games and the new one looks cool, also Bioshock 3 and Diablo3.
Skyrim almost up for me, lots of rain = lvl 62 (levels go up half as fast once you hit 50) - just starting the main story quest now
I think the difference in our experiences was between using the PS3 and PC; I'm sure it would be more tolerable with quicksaving. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind respawning bad guys, but within reason; I think some sort of cleared territory method, such as in Infamous or JC2 would have made the game amazing.
I agree that enemies should only respawn after, say, a day or two. And yeah I heard the save system was crap on consoles - restricted to only safe houses. The new one looks potentially very awesome.
ah I did not know there was a difference between the console and pc. fair enough then. (Saving sucked ass on console.)
and yes the new one looks awesome!
Add Rage to my games list , quite cool
Just saw the trailer for Syndicate today; looks quite promising.

Yep Syndicate is on my watch list. I'm also keeping my eyes on the new Counterstrike, though I doubt it will be worth while.
Did anyone play the old syndicate. I used to have one of them. back in the...??90's???
This new one looks good, but I think it will be gimmicky but hopefully gimmicky in a bulletstorm kinda way
Yeah played the demos may years back. Fun games by memory.
Before my time. I remember reading about them though.
Speaking of games, I just got the new humble bundle for Android. World of Goo on my phone, bitches!
I never really thought of PC as an "exclusive" platform like consoles are....but clearly it is.
It turns out that list may be a bit shit, containing some shovelware, games that wont likely exist, such as Black Mesa, games that wont exist. like Fallout and games that wont likely be exclusives, such as Diablo 3.
Lolz Black Mesa Source. Yeah that'll come out.
Anyway, I'm surprised to see Prey 2 there, didn't know there would be a sequel but it should be good.
Yeah Prey 2 is supposed to be a big release. Personally I thought Prey sucked ass, but we'll see.

Honestly to me it doesn't look that good - looks like a generic shooter and looks extremely easy. How much does the first 90secs look like a remake of the original though?
Do not want. Looks like Far Cry: Modern Warfare. "X to interact", "A to climb", "L to takedown". Too much time spent watching the character do stuff, not enough time playing the game. Pretty much the polar opposite of Far Cry.
Also, XBox controls.
