Games I'm Waiting On (Part 1)

It's occurring to me that I've been neglecting my blog for the better part of 2 months now. What can I say, I had a pretty busy summer. For no particular reason, here are the Top 10 games that I'm looking forward to sticking into my Playstation 3 over the next year or so.

10) NBA 2K12



94-95 Orlando Magic? All day.

9) Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena



I'm not even sure if that's what the game is really called. Varying interpretations of the title aside, the announcement of this Persona-based fighter totally caught me off guard. Under normal circumstances I'd be wary of a 2D fighter pitting characters from an RPG game against one another, but with Arc System Works' BlazBlue team reportedly at the helm, there's no reason why this shouldn't be awesome.

8) BioShock Infinite



Although I ended up skipping BioShock 2, footage from BioShock Infinite has caught my attention with its rather breathtaking visuals and the game's entire steampunk environment. Everything about Infinite looks fantastic, and it's an interesting change of pace to have the game set in the almost radiant city of Columbia after hours of squinting your way through Rapture in the original BioShock.

7) Street Fighter X Tekken



Not really sure what to think of all this "Pandora's Box" silliness, but I was far too excited about the prospect of a Zangief + Marduk team to bump the game from my top 5. Then pictures surfaced of Kuma taking a gratuitous dump all over Rolento, prompting it to fall to number 7. I just don't care to have that degree of doodoo in my games.

6) Arkham City



I'm not a big enough Batman fan to have this thing at the top of my list like a lot of other people, but Arkham Asylum was indeed awesome and there's no reason to expect otherwise from the sequel. It would have been cool to be able to drive the Batmobile this time around (not so), but a handful of playable missions as Catwoman is a decent enough consolation prize.
