Batman: Arkham Asylum was one of my favorite games of 2009 and even earned the world record for "Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever." While oddly specific, the award was given to the correct title because Arkham Asylum is truly the greatest superhero game ever created. Even if you're not a fan of Batman I suggest you check out Arkham Asylum and look forward to what seems to be a bigger and better sequel.
Multiplatform
The final chapter to the Mass Effect trilogy! Mass Effect 2 was my Xbox 360 Game of the Year so it's only fitting that it's sequel is high on my list of anticipated games.
Multiplatform
Originally released in the Orange Box collection, Portal was one of the funniest and most creative games I played at the time. While short, it left gamers all around satisfied, spawned an internet meme, and one of the most memorable video game credit songs ever. GlaDos returns in the main story and Valve even included multiplayer this time around.
Multiplatform
A sequel to the 10 year old MVC2, this fighter should be high on any fighting fans list. While not nearly as many characters on this roster as opposed to MVC2, gamers get to play as fan favorites Chris Redfield, Dante, and Deadpool along with surprises like Arthur (Ghouls and Ghosts) and Amaterasu (shame on you for not knowing where he's from.) The game looks gorgeous and seems to be just as over-the-top crazy as you'd expect it to be so definitely check this game out when it releases in March.
*Note: Capcom you're hit and miss with DLC
Great: Mega Man 9
Horrible: RE:5 DLC and MVC3 special bonus character dlc? (seriously you have to buy a special edition to unlock Jill and Shuma Gorath)
PSN
Another artsy title from the makers of Flower and Flow. I honestly have no idea what the game is about, but Flower was a great title and judging from their the makers track record, Journey looks to be cut from the same atmospheric vine.
XBLA
A sequel to one of my favorite arcade titles, Ms. Splosion Man will hopefully be another dose of crazy platforming action. After Twisted Pixel (creators) released Comic Jumper I felt they took a stepback gameplay wise. Maybe Twisted Pixel realized their fans were unhappy with Comic Jumper and decided to give us what we wanted (even if we didn't know it) with this sequel. Regardless of the reason, I'm just thankful this game is coming out and you should be too.
Playstation 3
From the creators of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. If you never played these two classics on PS2, don't worry because you can pre-order the collection which rereleases in May. My early nominee for Best Story of the year.
Playstation 3
One of the main reasons Xbox 360 owners want a PS3, the Uncharted series is one of the best 3rd person/action-platformers in this current age of consoles. Uncharted 2 was truly epic so hopefully Uncharted 3 delivers!
I could go on and on about all the upcoming titles that I'm looking forward to, but I'm sure you know most of them already and if not, here's more of the games I want (in list form):
Nintendo 3DS (yes the whole system)
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Pokemon Black/White
LittleBigPlanet 2
Twisted Metal
Mortal Kombat
Duke Nukem Forever
Dead Space 2
Thanks for supporting me in 2010 and hopefully I'll be able to continue reviewing games and movies in the upcoming year!
