10.Heavy Rain – PS3  

Not many people played Fahrenheit on the original Xbox but those that did were rewarded with one of the most cinematic games that ever graced a console.  In some places it worked and in others it fell flat but I still have fond memories of it. Expect the same from Heavy Rain which has a very intriguing plot, graphics that are jaw-dropping and hopefully gameplay that goes beyond QTEs and clicking on anything that looks interactive.  It’s been in production for years and let’s hope all that extra time makes Heavy Rain a heavy hitter.  

Was meant to be released at Christmas 2009 but Executive Producer Guillaume de Fondaumiere reckons that it’s too crowded for a game like Heavy Rain to stand out and sell well. I agree with him. Why not wait until a period of the year that has no quality titles coming out that month? Smart thinking guys.

 
Nice graphics, not so nice framerate. Plenty of time to go yet.

9.  God of War 3 – PS3 

Everyone has played the first two God of War games and if you were hungry for more there was a PSP treatment.  The first two games were so good that soon Sony are going to release a collection on the same disc for the Playstation 3.  It might not beat backward compatibility but us God of War fans will take what we can get.  God of War 3 from all accounts looks like it’s going to be more of the same but with the amazing next gen graphics, we’re sure that it’s going to be as epic and as gorgeous and 1 & 2 were.  

 

 

8. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle - Wii 

Sounds more like a bad B-Grade film starring a B-Grade rapper and star from the 80s doesn’t it?  Suda 51’s brilliant first game on the Nintendo Wii got plenty of props but probably not as many sales as was expected.  Regardless he is sticking with the Wii and No More Heroes 2 is looking every bit as stylish, funny and action packed as the first one.  I love just about every Suda game that has every come out, hell I liked Killer 7 when everyone else was giving it shit.  No More Heroes 2 is definitely one to look out for.  If you haven’t checked out the first one and you still have a Wii, I suggest you go and pick up a copy (if you can still find it on a store shelf that is). Keep an eye out for the sequel in 2010.  

7. Split Second – Multi-platform 

I’m not the biggest racing car gamer out there but after watching the trailer of Split Second from E3, I gotta say that if the game is anywhere as cool as the gameplay I saw, count me in one hundred percent! I’m a fan of Burnout Paradise, I’m a fan of Need for Speed but all those other more ‘serious’ games bore me quickly.  I want something that has things blowing up around you as you compete with other cars, I want to see the track dynamically change in an instant because a Air Traffic Control tower just collapse across the track as I was driving towards it and I want it to look decent at the same time.  If you like the sound of that then chances are you’re going to love split second.  Check out this trailer and tell me you’re not impressed.  


Experience the awesome. 

 

6. Splinter Cell: Conviction – Xbox 360 

It seems that Sam Fisher is one fishy guy to catch.  He’s on the lamb and becoming more like Jason Bourne every day.     This game has been pushed back for years now and whether or not the wait was worth it has yet to be seen, although if they recent gameplay videos are anything to go by, Splinter Cell fans are going to like the latest one.  There has been a few changes to the look of Sam Fisher (now less emo than previously shown) and also to how the game plays.  I really can’t wait to play Conviction as it feels like the first ‘next gen’ Splinter Cell game, even though Double Agent technically was.    

 

5.  Dante’s Inferno – Multi-platform 

I’m a sucker for action games.  I love my Devil May Cry, I love my God of War, pretty much anything involving a dude taking on hordes of creatures with a sword and some ‘tude. Dante’s Inferno takes place in Hell and from all the screen shots and videos it looks like one of the most visceral console games yet, if that is even possible at this point.  I seriously can’t wait to see the final code, anything to do with Hell, the devil and crazy little creatures that erupt from Cleopatra’s boobs is good enough to warrant my interest.  

 

4.  Bayonetta – Multi-platform 

See Dante’s Inferno on why I’ve included this game on this list.  The only reason it sits a place higher is that it’s made by the same guy who did the original Devil May Cry, so you know it’s going to be dripping with awesome.  The main character is still sexy without the need to show off every single inch of skin, and it’s good to see female characters are able to wear more than just a G-string in games these days.  This one is gonna rock, you have my word on that.  


2010 can't come quick enough! 

 

3. Lost Planet 2 – Multi-platform 

I was hoping that Lost Planet 2 would come out this year as I really had fun with the first one.  It had a great old school shooter feel and the enemies were plentiful and grandiose, it’s always great to see a giant creature take up your entire screen and let’s not forget how great the explosions looked.       The demo for Lost Planet 2 has been available on Xbox Live for some time now and it looks like it will be more of the same, however there is a big difference in the locations from the snow and ice from the first one.  Expect to see plenty of jungles and urban locations.  Regardless, just keep them big bugs coming and a multiplayer that was as good as or better than the first one.  We’ll gladly sign up.  

2. Mass Effect 2 - Multi-platform

I played through the first Mass Effect several times so needless to say we couldn’t be more excited about see what is next on the horizon for Shepherd and company.  The first one failed in certain areas regarding exploration but let’s hope the second part of this trilogy fixes those things.  Something that is refreshingly different than what a lot of other developers would do with a sequel, is the fact that Mass Effect 2 will access your game save from the first one, essentially making the start of the story a little different depending on your actions and outcomes from the first game.  Everything about this game is looking positive but whether or not Bioware will improve the shortcomings of the first one is yet to be seen. But with a whole galaxy to explore, characters to meet and baddies to blow away into space dust we’re more than a little excited to see what has been accomplished in the couple of years we’ve been waiting.  

PS: Alien love is gooooood.  

 

1 – Bioshock 2 - Multiplatform

No one really has anything bad to say about the first Bioshock. In my books it was possibly the finest example of the amazing heights that videogames can achieve.It will always have a fond place in my memories and will remain one of my favourite games of all time.That’s not the reason why it’s sequel is number one on the list though, the reason it sits here is that the original developers aren’t making this sequel, they actually have very little to do with it.  Whether or not they will succeed in providing the same atmosphere and thrilling adventure that the first one achieved is  yet to be seen but with a multiplayer component, playing as a big daddy (or mummy in this case) and with such a huge responsibility dumped on an unproven developer, the relase of Bioshock 2 is going to be a very thrilling ride one way or the other.


We admit that this looks pretty darn good so far!
