Top 5 Anticipated Games

2004-12-21 00:12:00 / Xbox Realm

Ah, it feels good to be back blogging again. Well, I'm not sure the legal issues surrounding this (maybe you people can fill me in on them), but I'm going to show you a page that I scanned from Xbox Nation's magazine. I blurred out all of the text to avoid any problems and whatnot, not sure if that's necessary or not, but just being safe. Anyways, this is what the readers of XBN are waiting for:

I agree with this list, but something is not right... the order. Now, let me just say this before screwing up the order of this list, I am planning on buying each and everyone of these games, so all of these are VERY anticipated games, so don't think it's because I don't like the games that I am changing the order, I like them all. My list:

1. Half Life 2 - This paved the way for any FPS's that came after it. This showed that an FPS could have more then your average 'shoot to kill' scenario. It added depth and character to the person behind the gun. The story was enough to want me to finish it, and the gameplay was enough to keep me coming back and back again. Not to mention that the mods for this game are some of the best mods for any game ever.

2. Halo 2 - Haha, the first game basically made the Xbox what it is today! How could I not be looking forward to this? Of course, the first was lacking in some areas (level design, story, character) but what it was lacking in, it made up for in multiplayer and co-op. All of I have to say about Halo 2 and my hyping it up is summed up in 2 glorious words. Xbox Live. I am ready to take this game on a test with Xbox Live! I can not wait!

3. Doom 3 - Oh man, I've been waiting for this one forever! Ever since I saw that first screen shot I began to cry. Why was I crying? No, not because the graphics were amazing, even though they were, but because I knew that my poor computer would never have a chance at running the game. So when I found out that it would be coming to the Xbox, I once again jumped for joy. To make it even better they have decided to add an extra feature to the Xbox version... a co-op mode! I love co-op modes, so this will make the game really fun. But I'm definitely going to be prepared to get my pants scared off for this game.

4. Fable - I'm still having my doubts about this one. The fact that it was an RPG increased my interest in this game right from the beginning, but it seems that Xbox may never have the true type of RPG I enjoy. It seems that the types of RPG that people are enjoying lately are action RPGs, which I don't even find much like RPGs at all. They seem just like action games that focus on the story a little bit more then average action games. Where are the true RPG battle system type games (Final Fantasy!)? Anyways, this game still keeps my interest peaked with its story, beautiful graphics, and curious gameplay.

5. True Fantasy Online - Honestly, I don't have that much to say about this game. I really didn't become all that interested in this game until about a month ago. One reason is the fact that no monthly price has been announced yet, so I'm kind of hoping that there won't be one (fat chance, right?). Anyways, I've just been really interested in this genre lately, so we'll see...
