There are plenty of games coming out this year, but there are a select few that actually have me interested in playing them rather than the usual feeling of wanting to dump them into a landfill (with all due respect to the environment). The ones that stick out to me are obvious to most people, but this is an article and as far as I know, I still have enough free will to make good decisions.

The first game that really sticks out to me is Star Wars: Force Unleashed. If you have talked to me or have read any of my scripture located on this site or any other, you could have guessed that I am a huge Star Wars fan, but just because this game is Star Wars related isn't the only reason i am intrigued by it (it's only about 85%). What gets me going is the crazy force powers and the Euphoria engine that powers them, which is the same engine that Grand Theft Auto IV used. The story sounds kind of appealing, but when I want a Star Wars game with a narrative, I will ask BioWare.

Another game surprisingly has it's grip on me and that game is Saint's Row 2. When the first one came out, it was practically a GTA rip-off as everyone knows, but whats happening with number 2 is that you can spray number 2 at civilians with a septic tank truck. The huge appeal for me to this one is the number of batsh** crazy stunts that you can pull, which is something that GTA4 was dreadfully lacking. It definitely seems that Saint's Row 2 is going to improve on just about everything in one. And do you remember the trains in GTA4? SR2 is finally letting me throw someone in front of one which was the major flaw of that game.

The third game is Gears of War 2… What do I really need to say? CliffyB already gave me the words. "Bigger. Better. More Badass."

I am a huge fan of Oblivion and I loved how immersive the world was. Even time to time, I still play it after the very day it came out. Because of Oblivion, I am totally interested in Fallout 3. However, I am not scowering the internet for rumors or what the game will have in it, because I liked how I was given little information about Oblivion before I played it. I had never played a Fallout game before and when I told the Gamespot forums that, there was a lot of comments about me being a heretic for wanting to play Fallout 3. I could care less about what fanboys say, because they are the most narrow-minded kinds of people I know of.

At this point, I want a whole bunch of games that are coming out with the advantage of minimal bored moments. The only problem now is money.
