The 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2010

Bioshock 2
 |
The buzz on BioShock 2 has been a little bit mixed, but
the original game bought enough of my good faith that I can't wait to check out
the sequel. I'm not sure I'm sold on the multiplayer aspect, but I'll
definitely be diving into both it and the campaign when its released.
Dark Void
 |
After some hands-on time with Dark Void, Dark Void
went from a game that I was mildly curious about to one that I can't wait to
play. A clever mix of Gears of War and Crimson Skies, Dark Void also has an
awesome retro feel for a total result that pushes my nerd buttons in a bad way.
Alan Wake
 |
A survival horror game about a horror novelist? How
could I resist? Alan Wake looks gorgeous and has a clever TV season structure,
as well as some killer lighting effects and in-game weather. I've been waiting
for this game for years so I'm a bit worried it will feel somewhat dated when
it comes out, but I'll still be picking it up on day one.
Heavy Rain
 |
Is Heavy Rain the best-looking game yet? Quite
possibly? But that's only part of the appeal of Heavy Rain. This cyber murder
mystery builds on the interesting adventure game systems of Quantic Dream's
last game Indigo Prophecy and adds new twists like multiple protagonists that
die permanently when you screw up. Heavy Rain may be 2010's most unique game.
Red Dead Redemption
 |
I'm not a big Grand Theft Auto fan, but Rockstar's
next open world adventure has got me excited in a big, big way. Set in the
dying days of the Old West, Red Dead Redemption looks like a living Clint
Eastwood movie, filled with gunslinging action, train robberies, saloon brawls
and everything you could want from a Western game. Plus, it looks shockingly
great. Red Dead Redemption is high up on my list of 2010's most wanted.
Comments
Great list, Anton. I am looking forward to a number of these games as well. Most notably, BioShock II, Red Dead Redemption, and Mass Effect II. I am a huge fan of both BioShock and Mass Effect, and I love any and all things Western. Red Dead Revolver was great, and while Gun was pretty average I still played through it, even wasting my time with all the poker games.
I am currently trying to convince my wife that while we have an XBox 360, Wii, and Playstation 2 already, we need to get a PS3 when GOW III releases. I'm not sure she's convinced, even though I'm constantly reminder her of the price cut whenever a commercial for the PS3 comes on.

Posted 12/16/2009 at 02:31:22 PMGood luck with that! I'd try pushing the new Netflix feature if you're a member. Streaming movies on two televisions?
Posted 12/16/2009 at 02:31:39 PMActually Dread, you've given me an idea. Let's hear all of your anticipated upcoming games, and I'll compile them into a list if we get enough good answers!
Posted 12/16/2009 at 02:46:24 PMMetroid: Other M, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Posted 12/16/2009 at 04:35:05 PMYea..and lets see how many of these games actually do come out and not get delayed to 2011. Chumps.
Posted 12/16/2009 at 06:16:50 PMI think MAG will be a pretty experiance, 258 player battles? EPIC! I pretty much agree with most the games on your list there, and the new trailer for Red Dead Redemption, OMG it made that game go from, "might play", to "will probably buy". Oh, SPEDteacher - one hyphanated word for why you need a PS3 - BLU-RAY. It totally worked on my wife.
Posted 12/16/2009 at 06:56:20 PMI've tried the blu-ray angle. It didn't work. We don't have an HD TV, so the benefits of the blu-ray player doesn't matter.
We have Netflix, but I don't see that as being a big selling point either, since we have the ability to stream netflix movies on our XBox, and we don't use it.
Thanks for the tips though. I'll just keep plugging away. I figure if I could bug her enough until she married me... :)
Posted 12/16/2009 at 07:01:54 PMI like Alan Wake , that is very dangerous to play and hot heart. www.ebookpart.info
Posted 12/17/2009 at 07:27:15 AMYeah, Starcraft II isn't anticipated at all.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 07:30:33 AM:/
Hmm, Zelda?? Isnt it high time for a new Zelda??

Crackdown was an "amazing game"? Are you fucking high? Crackdown wasn't worth the $15 I spent on it. The gameplay and story were about as deep as pong. When I saw Crackdown 2 listed here I immediately stopped reading and probably won't play any other game you listed here. That's how bad Crackdown was.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 07:41:34 AMWhere's The Last Guardian, or is it not coming out this year?
Posted 12/17/2009 at 07:59:28 AMJosh, the newest Zelda game isn't expected until 2011. It hasn't even been given a proper title yet.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 08:41:34 AMSWTOR and Battlefield Bad Company 2.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 09:22:38 AMI'm waiting for I am Alive and Dante's Inferno too.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 09:43:37 AMYou were paid off to make this list weren't you? It's quite telling that the majority of the games on your list are from Q1.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 10:05:58 AMshite list
Gran Turismo 5?
MAG?
im a halo fan but there should not be a bita reach on that list
Posted 12/17/2009 at 10:16:45 AMThat's the appeal of it for some people... a game that you can pick up at any point and enjoy wasting time on without involving yourself in a story.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 10:17:30 AMIt amazes me when Final Fantasy isn't included in these lists. It's the 6th highest grossing franchise in history (over 85 million copies sold). And Square Enix is releasing 2 MAJOR versions of the game in 2010. Final Fantasy XIII has been in the making for 4 years and it doesn't make a "most anticipated" list?! WTF? This list is a farce.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 11:00:52 AMgreat list,
i like playing in my computer all time.
2010 has be a great year in games.
visit my website www.onlycatsanddogs.com
Posted 12/17/2009 at 11:02:59 AMI scanned through this list looking for Final Fantasy XIII, and much to my chagrin it wasn't even listed in the HONORABLE MENTIONS. What kind of list is this?????
Posted 12/17/2009 at 11:41:14 AMCome on people, read the article and not just look at the pretty pictures. In the opening paragraph:
"I'm sure each and every one of you has a list of games that you're looking forward to. Here's mine. Presenting Anton's 10 most anticipated games of 2010 (in no particular order)."
Write your own list if you don't like his, instead of crying because individual games didn't make it.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 11:52:36 AMNot putting Starcraft 2 on this list is like kicking every videogamer (who doesn't jack off to girls in the storylines of single player games) right in the nuts.

Crackdown 2 looks like a PS2 game based on the VGA trailer
Posted 12/18/2009 at 02:24:53 AMnot including final fantasy 13 on the list (sold 1 million on one day on japan) is going full retard
Posted 12/18/2009 at 02:25:41 AMAnd where's RAGE of id software?? ^^
Posted 12/18/2009 at 07:05:49 AMlol no starcraft2 should be number 1!!!
Posted 12/18/2009 at 10:01:35 PMUmmm.... World of Warcraft - Cataclysm anyone?
Posted 12/19/2009 at 10:38:28 AMWhoa no darksiders what a piece of shit list no starcraft no final fantasy epic fail indeed
Posted 12/19/2009 at 01:38:13 PMwhat a piece of shit list sc2 should be number 1
Posted 12/19/2009 at 05:08:42 PMEvery single one of these games are first person shooters or sandbox style games. Nice try at making a list, but seriously, learn to step outside your genre.
Posted 12/20/2009 at 09:49:41 AMRed Dead Redemption looks like GUN, except better, and the other title I'm looking forward to is Mass Effect 2.
Posted 12/20/2009 at 12:44:21 PMWhere is Final Fantasy XIII?!
Posted 12/21/2009 at 01:17:03 AMno Starcraft 2 anticipation?!
Posted 12/21/2009 at 03:00:18 PMAfter more than 3 years of eager anticipation, Final Fantasy XIII launched to an enormous 1.5 million units in Japan this week – enough to just top the worldwide chart and end the recent weeks of Nintendo domination. Final Fantasy XIII has already sold more than twice as much as any other PS3 title in Japan after only 4 days of release and pushed hardware in Japan to a PS3 record of 240,000 units.
Imagine what it will do in the US. And it's not included in this article. Again, this article is a farce.
Posted 12/26/2009 at 11:43:52 AMGreat list. Actually, I don't have list yet because I'm just busy playing Aion Online on my computer. LOL :) Thanks for sharing your own list Anton. I'm really looking forward for more great games this 2010. :)
Posted 01/04/2010 at 03:28:30 AMwhat about Duke Nukem Forever lol
Posted 01/07/2010 at 03:21:56 PMFirst list I have seen with Reach. Honestly the best FPS to come in 2010, that and BF:BC2

"We want to finally understand why nutrients do what they do and to whom--why a low-fat diet may not work for some but works for others."
Posted 05/08/2010 at 03:30:42 AMI'll have to agree with Brandon, I'll probably won't be buying Crackdown II, due to it's unnatualisity. I'm not sure it'll be HORRIBLE game, as Brandon explained, but nah.
Red Dead Redemption was awesome, although the graphics could have been a bit better between the actual game, where the characters were conversing. Nice story, nice freaking ending too.
Splinter Cell looks awesome as well, and I'll definately be putting that in my shopping cart. It seems as though you can do a bit more things to your hostaiges... Sam Fisher W00t.
And finnaly, GoW III. Played all of the games, including the PSP version "Chains of Olympus". I have seen the changes in graphics from the first to the Demo of this game, and they get gorey-er and gorey-er yet. Yay blood and guts. :D
