Games I am Looking forward to this year PArt 1

I was going to put a review about Marvel vs Capcom 3 in here, but I'm still analyzing the game to get the right idea of what to write, so sorry.

Instead I will give out this...

As we all know, 2011 is here and that means a new list of games that will be set for us in the upcoming months. There are a lot of games that I am looking forward to this year and here are the ones I want to try.


1. Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II Retribution.
-I am a huge Warhammer 40K fan, I worship it and find it the most epic and creative world ever in the history of fantasy or sci-fi. An expansion pack to the popular RTS's, this game allows us to now play as the Imperial Guard, the main back bone of the Imperium. There are even rumors of playing as the xeno hating, heretic burning, demon hunting Inquisition.With new units, maps, and added gameplay. I'm buying this on steam first chance I get.


2. Dragon Age II
-If you don't know by now, I worship Bioware and the ground they walk on. The sequel to a brilliantly written and well crafted dark fantasy, Dragon Age II takes place on a time scale instead of years before or after the events of DA1. You play as a human only this time, instead of choosing multiple races, but your actions effect a 10 year time span affect the game even more so then the original. A new combat system and dialogue system  are also to be expected in this dark age sequel and it will be interesting to see how different it is from DA1.

3. Warriors: Legends of Troy
-Okay I admit it, I like Koei and their Warriors series. Not for the gameplay related reasons, but how they're able to take historical battles and turn them into giant battle sized levels with each character having a nice personality to it. Some hate the series, some love it. I like it and as a person who's read the Illiad, I'm interested in seeing how they do this.

4. Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
-I loved the first Dissidia and I'm sure I will love the second. I love how each character representing their world has a combat system that follows their respective one from their games. The music and visuals are awesome of course, but this one really has my interest peaked. It's still one player on one player combat in a huge level, but there is now an assist system which added companions will appear on the level and help you. And with new characters and a 60 hour story, it won't be leaving my PSP for awhile.


5. Dynasty Warriors 7
-I must admit this time I'm not sure. While I praised the art style and choreography of the characters in the 6th one, I kind of was let down by how they only let certain characters have a storyline instead of all of them like 4 and 5. I feel that some characters, like Wei Yan, Cao Ren, and others were all left with little time. In this one I hear that it's going to be a pure accurate storyline on what happened historically with a new Jin force. But there will also be a "What If" mode to allow players to play as the other forces. Still, it might be interesting.

6. Portal 2
-Do I even need to say it? Any gamer I've ever met has been dying to play this game. Portal one was the most innovative and well designed game ever. All it featured was a portal gun, a simple mechanic, puzzles, and a psycho computer who has an obsession with cake. Portal 2 will be all this and more as their is now a multiplayer mode with their own special levels that will require both players to work together to solve the puzzles. When Portal 2 comes out, Steam will be crowded like hell.

7. Duke Nukem Forever
-After who knows how many years, this game is finally coming out. It's been joked, insulted, and wished for by millions and finally this year it shall come. Will it suck, will it rock? I don't know, but when I play this game a void I've had will finally be filled at last.


8. F.E.A.R. 3
-F.E.A.R. 3 is part of a series of games that have not only mind fu**ed me, but scared me which is something video games very rarely do. The final chapter of the F.E.A.R. series, you once again take the Point Man from the first game and now have to destroy your crazed psychic god like mother with the assistance of your vampiric like brother who is alive. With the ability to switch between both characters, gameplay looks like it will be one world....awesome. And since this is F.E.A.R. I'm playing this in the dark damnit.

That's enough for now, I've got school work to do and I'll post the rest later this week while working on my M.V.C. 3 review. Later
