What are the RPMers buying on this second half of 2009, game-wise?
I ask because some of my most anticipated titles of the year have been pushed back to the far far away land of 2010, Bayonetta and BioShock 2 mainly. And I have very few to look forward to this year. I mean, some games do interest me, but none reach the OMG DAY ONE level that many 2010 releases have already achieved (Bayo, BioShock 2, God of War III, Other M, Galaxy 2, No More Heroes 2...).
My targets, in order of can't-waitness:
5.
Dead Space: ExtractionThe original Dead Space is my favorite game on the PS3 along with Resident Evil 5. Paying the Ishimura a visit during the outbreak sounds like fun.
4.
Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesI'm very intrigued by the concept, but I have an alarm going off "ORIGINS! ORIGINS!" that prevents me from getting too excited. I'll wait for critic and public reception.
3.
ScribblenautsIt sounds like the perfect pick-up game. Let's hope that dictionary is actually well programmed, though. I don't want to summon a tornado and watch as it does nothing!
2.
Resident Evil: The Darkside ChroniclesI didn't even like Umbrella Chronicles that much, but I'm an RE2 whore.
1.
New Super Mario Bros. WiiProbably the only surefire deal here. Mario games are just too charming and polished to pass. Plus I'm a big fan of New Super Mario Bros.
(By the way, do we have a topic for the Mega Man Marathon, which starts in about two hours?)
