there is some weak ass games listed.

[HighJump31]

I disagree. There are some pretty big titles for next year. 2011 was the best year in recent memory, so of course 2012 won't be on the level as 2011 was, but there are a ton of good games coming out this year. There are probably a total of more "good" games this year than last year, but last year had more "great" games than this year will, if that makes sense. 2011 just had so many blockbusters.

The big titles people should focus on from the list (Bold are potential GOTY nominees):
Final Fantasy XIII-2 (360, PS3)
Soul Calibur V (360, PS3)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC, 360, PS3)
SSX (360, PS3)
Twisted Metal (PS3)
Mass Effect 3 (PC, 360, PS3)
Max Payne 3 (PC, 360, PS3)
Assassins Creed 2012 (untitled as of now) (PC, 360, PS3)
BioShock Infinite (PC, 360, PS3)
Halo 4 (360)
Tomb Raider (PC, 360, PS3)
Borderlands 2 (PC, 360, PS3)
Diablo III (PC, Mac)
Grand Theft Auto V (unannounced platforms)
Hitman: Absolution (PC, 360, PS3)
The Last Guardian (PS3)
The Last of Us (PS3)

I have literally been waiting since the 9th fucking grade for Diablo III. I cannot wait for it to come out.

Diablo III, MLB 12: The Show, GTA V and Borderlands 2 can get me through the entire year. Pretty excited to play the new Twisted Metal, too.

I read somewhere that Techland, who made Dead Island copyrighted the name Dead World. If true, another title to hit the shelves. And so far, loving DI.

GTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jysen]

Hmm.. AC and GTA only ones on that list for me though. Hitman was a fun game back on the PS2, but not at a 60 dollar price tag. I wouldve thought RE6 would be on there.

[cubsneedmiracle]

Diablo III is the only one I really have to get.

[85Bears4life]

Twisted Metal FTW!!!!

Comes out on Valentine's Day..Perfect Day for a game with a serial killing clown to come out

You can take XCOM (delayed until 2013) for Resident Evil 6 and you have a fairly strong list of titles.

Mass Effect 3, Diablo III and GTA V (if released) will be the best titles of the year imo.

Games I'm most looking forward to from the list are:

Final Fantasy XIII-2 (360, PS3)
Soul Calibur V (360, PS3)
The Darkness 2 (PC, 360, PS3)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC, 360, PS3)
Resident Evil Revelations (3DS)
SSX (360, PS3)
Twisted Metal (PS3)
Uncharted: Golden Abyss (PSVita)
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (DS, PSP, PS3, 360, Wii)
Mass Effect 3 (PC, 360, PS3)
Street Fighter x Tekken (PC, 360, PS3, PSVita)
Max Payne 3 (PC, 360, PS3)
Silent Hill: Downpour (360, PS3)
Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
Ninja Gaiden III (360, PS3, WiiU)
Guild Wars 2 (PC)
Aliens: Colonial Marines (PC, 3DS, PS3, 360, WiiU)
Assassins Creed 2012 (untitled as of now) (PC, 360, PS3)
BioShock Infinite (PC, 360, PS3)

The Last Guardian (PS3)
The Last of Us (PS3)

I will be anticipating Bioshock and Assassin's Creed as well but the previous game in each series left much to be desired.
