Most Anticipated #2- The Last of Us

May 17th, 2012

Gettuitt

While I hope this one comes out this year, I’m pretty sure that The Last of Us will be delayed for developmental reasons. The story puts you in a post-apocalyptic setting where a rampant plague has decimated the United States and perhaps the world. Joel has survived for years doing whatever it took to keep [...]

Most Anticipated #3- Borderlands 2

May 17th, 2012

Gettuitt

96.5% more Wub Wub. That’s all I should need to say, but in the interest of Borderlands 2 making the top ten, I’m obligated by my own moral devices to add words. The original Borderlands took us to Pandora where we explored, looted the hell out of everything, and killed big things with big guns. [...]

Most Anticipated #4- Assassin’s Creed 3

May 17th, 2012

Gettuitt

The entire plot of this series revolves around the myth of the 2012 disaster, and because Ubisoft wanted to tell the story in five console games, we have this. Assassin’s Creed follows a plot point that lets you go into a person’s DNA to read the memories of their ancestors. Desmond, a bartender, holds in [...]

Most Anticipated #5- Hitman: Absolution

May 17th, 2012

Gettuitt

After playing the demo for Hitman: Blood Money, I was impressed with the level of effort you had to put into figuring out how to infiltrate a stronghold. It really gave me a taste for what it takes to be a professional assassin. My only gripe with the game is that the controls were a [...]

Most Anticipated #6- Dead or Alive 5

May 17th, 2012

Gettuitt

Among fighting games, I am no expert, nor do I have any extended interest in them unless I’m playing against someone. Things change as evidenced by my drooling over this game. The visuals are quite stunning with colorful backdrops and characters. The dubbing seems a little lame, but I can live with that as long [...]

Most Anticipated #7- Dishonored

May 16th, 2012

Gettuitt

Corvo is out for vengeance after he is framed for the murder of the Empress after she dies in his arms… WIN. Not only is he skilled with swords and guns, but he has otherworldly powers (temporary time-stop, teleportation, etc) that make his a powerhouse of a protagonist. Set in Steampunk-esque open world, Dishonored will [...]

Most Anticipated #8- Medal of Honor Warfighter

May 15th, 2012

Gettuitt

A sequel to 2010’s Medal of Honor, Warfighter takes place in the Philippines this time around. While it was great to see something challenge Call of Duty, I found Medal of Honor to be disappointing. The graphics weren’t up to par with what the expectation was, and the multiplayer was cracked from the start.

Most Anticipated #9- Grand Theft Auto V

May 15th, 2012

Gettuitt

In a series where I’m limited only by the amount of firearms I can lug through a given city, I’d say GTA has my vote. There isn’t much information on this title yet, but rumor has it that the multiplayer will be a lot like the multiplayer in Max Payne 3.

Most Anticipated #10- Max Payne 3

May 14th, 2012

Gettuitt

Max is in Sao Paulo. A girl gets kidnapped. ‘Nuff said. Honestly, I think Max Payne is the John McClane of my generation. Actually, John McClane is the John McClane of my generation, but you get the point. I’ve said before that I’ve never played a Max Payne title. I’m looking forward to starting. It’s [...]

Tomb Raider Rocked Back to 2013!

May 14th, 2012

Gettuitt

Got some Tomb Raider news since we really haven’t seen or heard anything from Crystal Dynamics since E3 2011. Unfortunately, Lara Croft won’t make an appearance on consoles until Q1 of 2013. Not only is the game delayed, but it means that we’ll have to take is off the list for most anticipated games of [...]
