As summer’s end approaches here in Northern California, my thoughts turn toward the autumn and the inevitable release of a bunch of new PC games. This year is a little odd, though, because quite a few titles have been pushed back to 2010. What will inevitably happen is that I’ll get excited about a bunch of games. They’ll (eventually) ship, and I’ll be disappointed with half of them, satisfied with most of the rest and really jazzed about one or two.
Despite having gone through that cycle of anticipation and disinclination, I still find myself getting pretty wired about some of the games coming out, though my radar now extends a little further out than it once did. Which ones will disappoint, and which games will actually deliver? I can’t say at this point, but I can talk about what looks the most interesting.
I’m really more of a gaming generalist – in other words, I like to play a variety of different games, including first person shooters, RPGs, and strategy games. I’m not big on side scrollers, top-down beat ‘em ups and fighting games, though the occasional third person action game can grab me, like the recently released Prototype. Now that you understand my preferences, here’s my list of anticipated games.
