    Out of those that you listed ME3, Max Payne 3, Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands2, and maybe Tomb Raider will a be day one buys for me.

    The rest probably not. Game of Thrones will be interesting.

    It seems like there are some more that are missing from your list but I haven't really studied what is coming out this year. I am still working on my backlog from last year.

    Oh and RE6. Also maybe Metro Last Light.

    Starhawk looks great! A break from all the military "sims" out there. PS3 exclusive, graphics look awesome, big battles, not realistic so its a good change of pace...

    I think we could have a lot of fun with that game. Check it out on youtube. I just watched some Capture the Flag.

    I absolutely loved Warhawk. It was a great game to play in college when I still lived with some of my best friends and we could play split screen online. Really loved vehicle interactions. Probably my favorite thing was turning jeeps into a mined-kamikaze-vehicle.

    Alright, what's on everyone's 2012 wish list?

    Mass Effect 3 – 3/6 Game of Thrones – 5/15 (want to know more but willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for now) Max Payne 3 – 5/15 NCAA Football 2013 – 7/10 Lollipop Chainsaw – 8/1 (looks ridiculous, but I do love killing zombies...) Bioshock Infinite – 8/1 Borderlands 2 – 9/1 XCOM – 10/6 Resident Evil 6 – 11/20 (getting less and less impressed with the series but I've been a long time fan) Tomb Raider – 12/31 (loved the trailer at E3 and the new look) South Park: The Game – 12/31 (Butters and RPGs... what could go wrong?) Metro: Last Light – 12/31

    Only a few of these will be bought new, the rest I'll keep my eyes on to see how they do after release.

    Mass Effect 3
    Starhawk
    Ncaa

    Those are my priorities right now. Loved the Mass Effect games, high hopes for Starhawk... and NCAA cause I can't help myself.

    You can do that in Battlefield with tank mines too.

    Trust me, I've tried... I find I end up getting shot and blown up before reaching my target. I've also tried to perfect the C4 rigged Jeep as well, but that tends to have the same problem. I'll get it working well eventually.

    (I tend to get bored some times and try to find fun things to do within the game.)

    We C4'd atv's all the time in Bad Company but they took them out of BF3. Probably for that reason.

    Only 360 titles listed since I don't own a PS3. Also going only by GameStop's release dates.

    Oh yeah. Aren't you a Halo guy? I thought Halo 4 was coming out this year.

    I forgot about possibly my most anticipated game which is The Last of Us.

    Also I still think GTAV comes out this year.

    I haven't heard anything concrete about Halo 4 since its announcement. I also thought it was coming out later this year. shrug

    I intended on playing Bad Company, but just never got around to it.

    But yeah, thats the thing about Warhawk... it only marginally took itself seriously. I still remember the huge drop off between the first and second areas on archipelago... flying off the cliff loaded with mines and landing on a tank below. Fun times.

    I don't really keep up with Halo but I thought I remembered hearing that it was coming out this year. Maybe that is just speculation.

    Last of Us, the new Naughty Dog IP, right? Lately everything ND has touched has been gold, so I can't imagine letting that one passing by me.

    Yeah and the first trailer looked amazing. Can't wait to see some actual gameplay.

    Should be good, even if the Ellen Page look-alike isn't actually Ellen Page. Ha. I'm really interested in seeing if they can carry over the same level of excellence from the Uncharted series into a new title.

    I thought she looked like Ellen Page too. I hope it has some good horror elements to the game.

    Apparently, everyone did. I mean, cmon the character is a dead ringer.

  • Activision already milking customers for $15. XBOX Elite members(cost $10/month. Battlelog is free for BF3 and just as good) can get the maps right now. XBOX community can get them in February and PS3 community in March.

    All those sheep will hurry up and pay that $15 for a few new maps. They are the reason prices keep going up for no good reason.

  • Halo 4 is supposedly coming out at the end of the year. I like Halo so I will be getting it. I got House of the Dead for PS3 today it is actually really fun for a on rails shooter.

  • Been playing the new FIFA and the new NBA today... FIFA kind of inspired me to start catching some premier league games. I shopped around for a while but was playing the best with Arsenal.

  • Some new info on the next Xbox. Allegedly going to be six times as powerful as current consoles.

    Xbox 720 Will Be Six Times as Powerful as Current Gen - IGN

    Microsofts Radeon HD 6670, sources close to the project have told IGN.

    www.ign.com

  • Radeon HD 6670???????

    My God, I need a PC. That graphics card is outdated RIGHT NOW. In 2013 no self respecting PC player will even own a 6670. Consoles screwing the customers again. I'll still buy one, of course, so I have no room to talk. Lets hope the PS4 is using a more up to date card like the 6870.

    Console manufacturers can't afford to go any more than that.

    I don't believe that. Not at all. That chip is from what? 2 years ago? Consoles make a KILLING. They can afford to give us a better card than one that is already outdated.

    That card retails at nearly $80. They need to make these consoles for around $300 to make a profit. They aren't going to do the same thing as last time and lose money on every console sold. The chip is only one part of the console.

    The chip is what brings out the visuals that displays on the screen. $80 for a graphics card is laughable anyway you look at it. I'm not asking for the newest card, but something a little better than a card that is currently outdated, let alone for 2013.

    Oh well. Like I said, I will still buy a PS4 whenever it releases. I will just be smart enough to realize I'm getting ripped off.
