Watch Dogs

1. Watch Dogs

Predictable, I know, but really now -- who wasn't impressed by this? Indubitably the biggest surprise of the show. Very excited to see how this develops. Just wish it weren't being shown behind closed doors.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

2. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

What can I say: I love the Sly series. Fun stuff. Only got to play the Vita version (seems to have made the transition well), but the game's shaping up well. Sanzaru's proven the series is in capable hands. Can't wait to get my hands on the full game.

Rayman Legends

3. Rayman Legends

Bit of a shame this is coming to Wii U exclusively (these games need to be played by as many people as possible), but hey -- can't say no to more Rayman, no matter the platform. Just hope the game doesn't force cooperative play. All the demos so far seems to suggest otherwise.

Sound Shapes

4. Sound Shapes

I'm a sucker for games that incorporate music in interesting ways, so of course I'm excited for Sound Shapes. Pretty basic platformer, but the musical element makes it stand out.

The Last of Us

5. The Last of Us

Naughty Dog's been working exclusively on Uncharted this generation, so it's nice to finally see them branch out. The Last of Us looks like an appropriately grim game, and the focus on making each encounter, no matter how small, feel extremely dangerous, sounds great. Very much looking forward to it.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star

6. Paper Mario: Sticker Star

It's Paper Mario, so it's guaranteed to be great.

Assassin's Creed III

7. Assassin's Creed III

Confession: I've never played any of the Assassin's Creed games before. Starting to regret it, too, as the third installment is looking good. Need to see about trying one of them out before this lands.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

8. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

Level-5 making a role-playing game in conjunction with Studio Ghibli? Sign me up!

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

9. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

In all honesty, I didn't expect to like PlayStation All-Stars much. I figured it'd be a second-rate Smash Bros clone that, while solid, just wouldn't capture the magic of its inspiration. I'm not sure it'll defeat my previous expectation, but damn if I didn't have fun with it.

Wii U

10. Wii U

Still would like to see more ways the controller could be used, but for the most part, I'm in. Seems cool.
