Lilarcor: E3 2010 Most Anticipated Games

Showing 1-10 of 19 items

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

1. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

What can I say? I'm still a giant Zelda fan at heart. I'm really digging the art style, it seems like a perfect blend of the color of Wind Waker and the fidelity of Twilight Princess. The new items seem interesting, and I think requiring greater precision from the sword combat will make it feel more visceral. I'm excited to see what else they have up their sleeves.

Fallout: New Vegas

2. Fallout: New Vegas

I loved Fallout 3 despite its flaws, and I really like the guys at Obsidian despite their somewhat spotty track record, so I'm really hopeful for this one. All of the changes they've mentioned in interviews, from weapon mods to better companion AI, sound like great additions. And I think Obsidian has some of the best RPG writing in the business so I hope they come up with some great fiction to go with it.

Fable III

3. Fable III

I know it's popular to hate on Peter Molyneux these days, but I really did like Fable 2 a lot. I'd like to see some more details about how the kingdom management stuff works, but it looks like they've really bumped up the amount of visual flair from Fable 2 so I'm excited.

Kirby's Epic Yarn

4. Kirby's Epic Yarn

I'm a little bemused by the thread whip seemingly replacing the copy ability entirely, but the environment-altering mechanics and art style won me over so completely that it is near the top of the list regardless.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star

5. Paper Mario: Sticker Star

Chain chomp partner fuck yes. Love the Mario RPGs in both handheld and console format, I look forward to having a great time again.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

6. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

I have really fond memories of the first two Golden Sun games, so even though they didn't show much I'm still hopeful. If they can preserve the depth of the Djinn system, come up with some more good Psyenergy puzzles and cut down on the wordy dialogue some, I'll be very satisfied.

Dead Space 2

7. Dead Space 2

Dude, YES. Loved Dead Space, and all the stuff they showed off at the press conferences looked fantastic. It's good to see all the constant whining about how the increased focus on action would 'ruin the horror' proven wrong so spectacularly.

Bulletstorm

8. Bulletstorm

I can't decide if the awful dialogue is hilarious or cringe-inducing yet, but the action looks over the top and fun as hell so I'm on board.

Gears of War 3

9. Gears of War 3

Not much to say about Gears, really. I expect it will be a really fun co-op experience with some interesting multiplayer modes. Horde was a huge addition to 2 that worked so well that basically every other shooter has a Horde-type mode now, so I look forward to seeing what CliffyB and crew come up with next.

Vanquish

10. Vanquish

It looks like Mikami and the dudes at Clover took Gears, removed all the ridiculous machismo, and then force-fed it a bunch of even more ridiculous Japanese-brand crazy. In other words, count me in.
