MjHealy: E3 2012 Most Anticipated Games

Showing 1-10 of 17 items

The Last of Us

1. The Last of Us

Most likely to be my Game of Show. Coming into E3, I thought this would be something special and I don't appear to be wrong. The character interactions are supposedly top-notch and the action show off during the Sony press conference seemed to be a real thrill.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted

2. Need for Speed: Most Wanted

Burnout Paradise + Need for Speed Hot Pursuit = Profit. Any questions?

Watch Dogs

3. Watch Dogs

Talk about the surprise of the show. This one came out of nowhere to captures the minds of those across the internet. We will see how this one turns out but for now it's looking like a winner.

The Unfinished Swan

4. The Unfinished Swan

Whilst watching the demo for this game, I got the impression the core "painting a white world" mechanic would get repetitive. Sure enough, on level 2, we see a drastic shift. Hopes set high.

Rayman Legends

5. Rayman Legends

A more music-focused, more beautiful version of one of the most charming games of last year. My only problem with it is that it is a Wii U exclusive.

Star Wars 1313

6. Star Wars 1313

My interest for Star Wars has waned over the years but this seems to have reset it some. A murky sounding and "dark" story mixed in with some original trilogy goodness. The fact that it's the best game I've ever seen visually ain't half bad either.

Scribblenauts Unlimited

7. Scribblenauts Unlimited

I've never actually played a Scribblenauts game but this one could be my first - if I plan to buy a Wii U of course. Looks to add on the inventiveness of the first two games with some fun-looking twists.

Forza Horizon

8. Forza Horizon

I have grown a bit tired of the Forza Motorsport series so a game looking to throw it into a more-arcadey sprawling open world is fine by me. Arcade racers usually trump simulations in my book.

Far Cry 3

9. Far Cry 3

Looks trippy. Tigers. Awesome.

Beyond: Two Souls

10. Beyond: Two Souls

I am a bit apologetic for Heavy Rain so a game from the mind of David Cage comes as good news to myself. The facial technology looks incredible and looks to continue Quantic Dreams brand of cinematic insanity.
