For the past few days, the E3 Expo has been going on. It has just ended today. For those who don't know, E3 is an on-going event in which many gaming companies and publishers come together to reveal information about upcoming games, consoles, and other gaming news. So my question for gamers is, what upcoming games are you looking forward to for this year or the next?

I still need to get that. I only have Sims 1 with some expansions and Sims 2 for PC. Anyway, I saw the Splinter Cell: Conviction and Assassin's Creed 2 trailers. They both look amazing. Ubisoft is going for something different for the Splinter Cell series--something a bit more theatrical and perhaps more intense. Instead of the protagonist, Sam Fisher, chasing bad guys it's the good guys chasing what they believe is a bad guy; which according to them is Sam. There's also another game that may or may not have come out yet. The name escapes me, but it's set after a devastating earthquake. It's basically like a survival horror game, but without the horribly disfigured monsters like in Silent Hill.

Oh yes! Do you know they're coming out with Final Fantasy 14 as well? Apparently it's going to be a massive multiplayer online game like Final Fantasy 11 was.

Oh, yeah! I saw that on G4tv! That looks like its going to more massive than FF11 and ten times better than WOW!

Ace Attorney 5 (Whenever that come out)

The one that features Miles Edgeworth as the main character? If so, yes I'm waiting for that too. It's not supposed to come out in the U.S.A. till 2010 though. 😢

tomb raider is shit the movement is unrealistic and bitty and gran turismo is just plain boring, i hate your taste 🙂

Well AA, i hate your (gaming) attitude, fwiw..🙂 ..don't be so quick to judge, your opinions are just that.

GT is FAR from boring, imo & that's ALL that counts for me and millions of others & TRA is a much older game-originally released in 1996, so what can you possibly expect, 2009 movement?? I would think even the most inexperienced gamer would know that. Many gamers ARE sentimental and can appreciate where gaming came from; past, present & future. Not to mention, i own 100's of titles on most systems, including ALL genres-aka, the one's you're looking forward to, all handhelds + a gaming pc, so obviously* these are not the only 2 games in my world..lol me thinks you could learn alot.

Yeah, there was nothing like the 1st Tomb Raider, that's why i looked forward to the Anniversay version. 🙂 i know many sequel games arn't that great either. Crash Bandicoot, for instance is no longer created by *naughty dog*..lol

"..play games for their story then just discard it 2 weeks later or less (because that's how long most games take to complete) this is a good way to waste money and it's just not sustainable anymore, when i was kid this was fine but now i crave a more hardcore SATISFYING gaming experience. dead rising 2 is just afun game that will tbh last me a couple weeks again unless the online is something spectacular."

I totally agree with you there, AA ..i am just as much a sentimental collector and choose a variety of games that really entertain me AND have lasting value that you can play over and over again. If it's not fun for me first, i won't play it because a million others do. It's taken years and many of my games are older and were carefully chosen. Many of these same games were some of the best too; take the now rarer, harder to find Skull Monkeys, for instance. It's in full claymation, fun and visually stunning, one of the best platform side-scrollers i've ever seen, lots of parallax layering. My biggest gaming *love* though is the mystery/adventure/investigative/semi-action genre. I need a good plot i can sink my teeth into. The first Max Payne & Jack The Ripper for the pc, i found the environments and ambience incredibly, hypnotic, pulling you further and further in. I like my games on the mysterious or scary side..lol I also greatly enjoy the RE and Silent Hill series, too. Reminds me, i still have to go back & finish off alot of my games..lol i'm must say, i'm not into the mindless action shooters either, though i did try Quake online a long time ago..LOL I can also enjoy a decent war game when i'm in the mood; Wolfenstein or Project IGI comes to mind..

..i may have to take a looksee at those ED-rising games, btw. I guess alot of gaming is what you're actually in the mood for at any given moment, as well. =) ..anyway, good gaming.

Even though it's out already, I'm still excited for Assassin]s Creed 2. I'm getting it for Christmas. Hopefully it won't be as repetitive as the first one was.
