My List: Spring 2011

Sometimes I just need to make lists to keep myself organized. Here are the games I anticipate on playing and buying in 2011: Own and Need to Play Assassins Creed 2 (xBox) I actually own two copies of this: PS3 and xBox 360. I am working through the xBox version and enjoying it very much. Little Big Planet 2 (PS3) I’ve started the story – very charming. Alan Wake (xBox) God of War II (PS3) God of War III (PS3) Infamous (PS3) Dante’s Inferno (PS3) Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) Already available: Sniper: Ghost Warrior (xBox) Not great reviews, but I love sniper games. I am waiting for GameFly to dump inventory on this one. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (xBox) I want to play the multi-player. HomeFront (xBox) I bought this as a gift for Jerry; he found its flaws. But I still want to experience this FPS. I’ll try to get it less than $30. Dead Space 2 (xBox) I played (and enjoyed) the original a year late. I expect the same with the sequel. Grand Theft Auto IV Complete (xBox) I doubt I will find time to get to this classic. Super Meat Boy (xBox Arcade) Stacked (xBox Arcade) Heavy Rain (PS3) Others: KillZone 3 (PS3), Mass Effect (xBox), Mass Effect 2 (xBox), Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (xBox), Gears of War 2 (xBox), Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (PS3), Rock Band 3 (PS3) Coming Soon: Portal 2 (April 21, 2011; PS3 and xBox) I don’t think this will be release day – depends on if I get caught in the hype. I need it on PS3 because it will be the better version (cloud, PC copy) and ElMico will want it there. Xbox because of the co-op. LA Noire (May 17, 2011; xBox) Release day purchase and birthday gift for myself. Alice: Return to Madness (June 4, 2011; xBox) I’m frightened to play this game. I hope it is different from Dante’s Inferno. Zombie Island (August 1, 2011; xBox) The trailer sold me. Batman: Arkam City (October 18, 2011; xBox) I enjoyed B:AA – I hope this will be just as fun. Call of Duty 8 (November 2011; xbox and PS3) I gotta do my duty. Resistance 3 (September 3, 2011; PS3) The Last Guardian (PS3) Also need Shadow of the Colossus and Ico. Orcs Must Die (xBox Arcade) Twisted Metal (PS3)
