My Top Ten Most Anticipated Games of E3
#10 Devil May Cry 5 or [DMC5]



Let me get this out of the way first. Yes, I hate his hairstyle. Yes, I still subscribe to the theory that Capcom came up with an original game idea that sounded 'Like' Devil May Cry, and decided to stick Devil May Cry on it in order to sell. Despite all of that, I'm confident in Ninja Theory's ability to make a fun fighting game, typical to the crazy-ass spirit of the series we know and love. The trailer has me interested enough to consider buying the game. I wouldn't consider myself hyped up just yet, as Dante's character design still bugs me, but its worth at least a definite look.

#9 Final Fantasy XIII-2



How do I put this? I hated Final Fantasy XIII. Its the only game I've actually returned to the store unfinished in a long time. So, I took a great deal of convincing before I even looked at the trailer for this sequel. Really, my main problem with Final Fantasy XIII lied in the characters, Lightning was a bitch, Snow a Moron, Hope annoying, Vanille even more so, Fang barely was a character, and Sazh was completely awesome. Now, switching out the lame cast from the second game with new characters that seem much more likable in the trailer. Yes. Purple haired bishie to rival Lightning. Yes. Breaking up the linearity of the gameplay, (At least in the demoes I've seen). Hell Yes. I've always preferred somewhat more open worlds and character driven stories, which is what Final Fantasy XIII-2 is shaping up to be. I'm not exactly waiting in line at opening day, but I'll definitely pick up a copy.

Luigi's Mansion 2


Luigi's Mansion was alright, but not exactly what I expected it to be. Still I was glad to see my favorite of the mario brothers getting a game to himself. Did the game need a sequel? Not really. But hey, I need more games to play on my 3DS. Seriously, right now all I have are ports of fighters and Nintendogs. This is a bit higher up on the list than it normally would be because of my lack of 3DS games, but hey it looks like Nintnedo is trying to imrpove on this sequel. The music in the trailer is good, (I love the music in Luigi's Mansion, it was probably my favorite part of the game), and they fixed the Luigi model so he's not constantly making a constapated face. From the trailer alone its hard to tell exactly what kind of changes Nintendo is making to improve upon the original, if any, but it does peak my interest.

#7
Street Fighter X Tekken


As a self proclaimed god of Tekken, its my duty to tell all those street fighter fans exactly whats the best fighting game series around. Well, not exactly. Truthfully besides Tekken, Blazblue, Dissidia and Brawl I have never been that into fighting games. I do happen to love crossover fighting games, having grown up on Marvel Vs. Capcom one and two. I also do not meet many Tekken fans, despite my godhood, os I'm often stuck playing street fighter within my group of friends. Street Fighter X Tekken seems to be the solution to my problems. So while I'm waiting for my fabled King vs. Ryu match, I'll be hyping up this game.

#6
Mass Effect 3


Okay, technically I haven't finished Mass Effect 2 yet. Still, its freaking Mass Effect. Bioware's Epic Space trilogy coming to an end may be saddening for some folks, but I'm personally exciting. My favorite part in a trilogy is always the third installment, watching all the plot threads from earlier coming together to form an epic ending is always the greatest part. Not only that, but the aliens are invading earth this time. Hopefully that means no more planet exploration or mining bullshit. From the gameplay demoes I've heard, there is also going to be a few combat changes to make the experience feel more strategic, empowering and all that jazz. Including a new weapon, (The swiss army knife holo-thing that you carry on your arm), and some AI tweaking. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a turian to romance.


#5 Bioshock Infinite


Have you played Bioshock? Cause I haven't. Two things I've never cared much for, Ayn Randian Philosophy and First Person shooters. The gameplay intrigued me, but I figured it wasn't worth my money. Bioshock Infinite however, seems to be proving me wrong. You know what I love, floating cities, mysterious magical girls, and commentaries on the American Nationalistic blady blady bla, and Bioshock infinite provides. The outlook of the city is pretty creative and steampunky, and the two main characters seem likable from what I've seen. So yeah, finally giving the Bioshock series a chance.


#4
Assasin's Creed Revelations


Let me start by saying this, the trailer to this game is perfect. The music fits the actions perfectly, it does a good job of foreshadowing the epic tale that Revelations is going to be, and it shows the face of sexy bearded Ezio. If somebody were to ask me how to make a good teaser for a video game, I would point to this. My only problem with Assasin's Creed revelations is a slight doubt at the back of my mind that whatever answers I receive to the many questions that have been building up over the course of the series will eventually disappoint me. Which is pretty likely now that I think about it. On the other hand, you don't really play Assasin's Creed for the story. (The Story helps, but its gameplay and characterization that are doing all the work). Though I wonder how long we'll get to play with Italian Sex God Ezio, and Badass Altair before we're forced back into snooze fest Desmond's Shoes.


#3 Super Mario 3DS and Paper Mario 3DS

I couldn't decide one over the other. One has the tanuki suit, and the other is freaking Paper Mario. In case you have not noticed at this point, I have been a hardcore nintendo fan since I first picked up a controller. These games just serve to remind me the things I love about nintendo. I'm going to keep this post short to avoid gushing, but both of these games had really impressive trailers for E3. Also, Tanuki Suit. YES.


#2 Skyrim



My opinion of the Edler Scrolls series in two sentences or less. Loved morrowind, Oblivion got a bit too reprettitive for me, and fallout bugged out far too much. Well that's not technically Elder Scrolls, but they built it on the Oblivion engine. Now what about Skyrim has me so intrigued. EVERYTHING. First they got Patrick Stewart to do a voice over in the trailer. Second, you get to slay dragons. Third, vikings. Fourth, they aren't using the oblivion engine. Fifth, Guards aren't omniscient. It seems Bethesda really went the extra mile in learning from their past mistakes, and reigning in the things they do right (mainly open worlded games and customization), and using it to craft an all around better experience. I mean, I already have my character planned out for this game and everything. He's going to be an elf, but really spanish looking. He'll have the name montoya, and use a cutlass. I'm also putting everything into stealth so I can steal sh-- maybe I shouldn't be talking about this now. The guards are always watching.


#1 SKyward Sword


Skyward Sword, just, this game looks so awesome. Finally, the wii gets a game tailor made for its hardware. Considering this is also the longest development time ever for a Legend of Zelda game, I have nothing but high hopes for this prequel of a prequel.



So yeah, that was my Top Ten. If you have your own, post it in the comments section.
