Well, we're coming into the holiday shopping season, when the studios release a bunch of games hoping to bring up year end profits and cash in on the spending spree. So what upcoming games are making you fidget with anticipation? I don't have an Xbox360, so for me I have to choose from the DS, PSP, PS3 and the Wii. And for me, the 3 of the 5 games I am looking forward to the most are on the PS3, with the 4th and 5th both Wii exclusives.

1st: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune 2: PS3.....the first is the best game released to date on the PS3, and the sequel looks to surpass it in every way.

2. God of War 3: PS3.... The GOW series are the best games available thus far on both the PS2 and PSP. The 3rd iteration looks like it's really going to crank it up a notch. This one is still 6 months off, but I salivate every time I see the demo

3. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time: PS3...the second best Sony Exclusive series, right behind GOW. This game looks like a playable Pixar movie. Here's hoping they bring back the Groovitron.

4. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles: Wii ... The Umbrella Chronicles was a blast to play, especially since it was a rail shooter. The sequel will now include my favorite games from the Racoon City series: RE2 and RE: Code Veronica

5. New Super Mario Bros: Wii Edition : Wii....the DS version was good enough to make me go out an purchase a DS. I can't wait to see a version on the big ol' LCD TV.

Honorable mention goes to Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii. I haven't played enough of the original Dead Space on PS3 to get too excited, but by all accounts, it looks like it's going to be a good one, as far as the Wii goes.

So, what are YOU looking forward to?
 
In no particular order and all for the PS3.

Uncharted 2
God of War 3
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Demon's Souls
Bayonetta (might be quite a while away from a NA release)

Having had the chance to play New Super Mario Bros very briefly at PAX...it appears that it'll definitely be one of the runaway holiday hits this season. For me it's...

1) Katamari Forever - I didn't get the chance to try this out at PAX. Oddly, Bandai Namco had a huge booth at PAX, but this wasn't even a part of it. No, it was out in the hallway of the main entrance while Bandai Namco's booth inside consisted of glass cases full of Pac-Man toys. Seriously. Still...Katamari can't go wrong on the big platforms. I look forward to the rolling action and its nutty soundtrack.

2) Lego Rock Band: Come on...it's got the Final Countdown. What else does a game need to be good? ;)
 
Xbox 360:
NHL 10- Going to pick up my pre order tomorrow. Excited for almost everything in that game.

DiRT 2: If I have enough money, I'll buy that too. One of the best racing games of the year, hopefully they have a used copy, get me my 10% discount

Assassins Creed 2: If I can pick it up, easily a contender for GOTY,loved the first one, 2nd one will incredible.

I'm not sure I understand all the excitement for NHL10...how is it any different than NHL 09?
Click to expand...

supposedly they made over 200 gameplay refinements (graphics, mechanics, physics, etc), brought back the fantasy draft, there's a new GM mode, be a pro is there and this you actually get drafted, 1st person fighting (like the fight night series), board play (kicking the puck, holding the puck up against the board), and a lot of face washing.
