 * JACK IS BACK (and in full color)! A spiritual spinoff/semi-sequel to MadWorld on Wii, there's both multiplayer and single-player. Tag Team, Battle Royal, and other online modes and challenges are multiplayer. Single-Player has Jack as the MC in a mission/sandbox story, and is in a world that's a literal dystopia. The city the game revolves around has "landforms and gimmicks", but will "change in real time" with collapsing structures, rampaging vehicles, and "there will even be natural disasters" (!). Judging by the trailer, it seems it will have a similar soundtrack to MadWorld, with the MCs returning to rock the mike. The characters shown are playable in multiplayer, but will be Jack's rivals in single-player.

 * Action-adventure
 * The long awaited sequel to one of the best titles last generation. In June 2010, designer Michel Ancel suggested that development will still take "a while" and a small development team has been tasked with the project. Apparently Ubisoft is still considering the likelihood of releasing the title given the poor sales of the original.

 * Bioshock-infinite.jpg
 * BioShock Infinite
 * FPS
 * The next installment in the BioShock series, though not a sequel or prequel to the other two (it's unclear at this point if it's even set in the same "universe"). You play as a former Pinkerton agent trying to rescue a woman with powers in an ultra-xenophobic crumbling "sky city", as in, a city, complete with sky scrapers, floating in the sky on hot air balloons, in 1912. Plasmids, or something like plasmids, will be prevalent. Very bright and vibrant outside setting as opposed to dark and bleak like the other two.
 * 2012
 * PC, PS3, 360
 * BRINK.jpg
 * Brink
 * FPS
 * A game with a story line with that is playable online with a team of 8 against bots or another team. UNLIKE ANY FPS you can utilize parkour maneuvers like Mirror's Edge. There are also four classes like Team Fortress AND you can gain new gear by EXP you get from objectives.

 * Catherine_PS3_Box.jpg
 * Catherine
 * Puzzle/Mystery
 * First true FATLUS for HD consoles. Involves social situations with your pals, and two women, Catherine and Katherine, making your life more "interesting". There's also a freaky dream world which has you climbing twisted towers and dying means real life death. Multiple endings depend on your decisions in real life and the dream world (as seen by a scale of devil and angel). Even non-FATLUS may like this macabre puzzler. The demo is currently available on Japanese PSN. The game was released in Japan and was more balls-to-the-blocks harder than expected, even on low difficulties! Many a player rage-quit, so Atlus released a patch that contains a "super easy" mode.

 * Rail Shooter/Rhythm
 * The spiritual successor to Rez and the same person making it. You go along shooting things and they produce a nice melody upon destruction. Consider getting this if you liked Rez. Both console versions will have optional motion controls, so while this game might be a good excuse to get a Move/Kinect, they're not really required.

 * 270px-Driver_San_Francisco_Box_Art.jpg
 * Driver: San Francisco
 * Driving/Being a badass
 * Remember when Driver was good? This reboot takes the game back where it belongs: San Francisco. Gone are the horrible on-foot mechanics that pretty much ruined the series (thank God). Also, it has a crazy-ass premise: Tanner is in a coma, but he doesn't know it. He does however notice that he has a new ability called Shift; he can FLY INTO THE AIR AND JUMP INTO ANOTHER CAR NEARBY whenever he wants, but the devs say this will be a limited resource. Also, for the first time in the series: official licensed cars, including the Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Bentley Continental GT, Alfa Romeo 159, Fiat 500 and the Delorean DMC-12.

 * Puzzle, psuedo-first person shooter
 * It's fucking Portal in a normal-sized release! Many of the mechanics from the original title will return along with the ability to take advantage of a bleeding effect by manipulating other physics through the portals. Aperture Science Labs will serve as the environment presently dilapidated over the course of a hundred years and overrun with foliage. There will be a single player mode and a co-op mode with a completely separate campaign.THIS JUST IN: If you buy the PS3 version, you can get the PC/Mac version on Steam by linking it to your Steam account. The game will also have cross-platform co-op, meaning you can play co-op with both your PS3 friends and your Steam friends.

 * Rune Factory Oceans
 * Action RPG
 * A new entry in the RF series, akin to Frontier, but with more advancements, specifically sailing the high seas. If you've played previous games, you should know what to expect, marryan, farman, etc., but there's bound to be some surprises (like two characters sharing the same body). You can be male or female from the start, unlike RF2. Update: Apparently you can raise monsters and have them fight alongside you. Also, you can travel on the back of a giant gigas, who can uproot islands, help you explore, and fight OTHER giants, putting you in control of him to punch, throw boulders and pull off "finishing moves". Sounds pretty cool.

Kinect
Remember when we made fun of Kinect at E3. Good times! But now Microsoft stepped it up a bit with some pretty impressive titles that actually made us want to get the Kinect surprisingly, during Tokyo Game Show 2010. If you do consider getting a Kinect, be on the look out for these titles.
