1) L.A Noire
Why? It’s Rockstar, they usually get things right. Add to this the new global illumination technology, Aaron Staton from Mad Men and the fact that it’s a new IP and it should be a real winner and GOTY contender.
How could it go wrong? If the focus is on technology rather than gameplay
2) Dead Space 2
Why? ‘Cause I’m playing through Dead Space at the moment and loving it. It’s like I’m living out Event Horizon, except I’m in a bad ass suit of armour and there’s no Lawrence Fishburne.
How could it go wrong? If it loses that feeling of ‘shit, I’m running out of ammo’ and dumbs the experience down in favour of all-out-action.
3) Diablo III
Why? Because most of my year will probably be spent in its dungeons.
How could it go wrong? If leaked internal roadmap from Blizzard is a piece of crap and the game doesn’t come out.
4) Batman – Arkham City
Why? “I’m Batman”
How could it go wrong? If George Clooney and Arnie make in-game cameos.
5) NBA 2k12
Why? NBA 2k11 set a new bar for sports games. The Jordan Challenge was incredible, my player was improved (although it could do with another overhaul) and online ran a lot smoother. Best of all the in-game, bread-and-butter hoops experience was the best it’s been in years.
How could it go wrong? If it can’t match 2k11 in terms of innovation.
