You may have noticed I'm a bit of a GameTrailers.com fan.
Now and then they do countdown videos, and each year they look at the 10 hottest offerings of E3.

1. The Legernd of Zelda: Wii Sequel

They've lists nearly all Doom clones and repeats. These people need more imagination.

Most of the stuff ive been enjoying recently has been new things. More new things please.

That being said, im certainly not against there being more Batmans. Arkham was excellent.

That Castlevania game in particular looks like a massive God of War ripoff.

Some sequels and remakes are great, don't discount them, Frizzles.

What are your most anticipated games of 2010, 5punkers?

Nothing there that interests me at all apart from Portal 2...and that might not be there judging by the post in the news section.

The Last Guardian, along with the HD updating of its ancestors Ico and SOTC are likely to make me venture in to PS3-land.

The only game I am, actively, keeping an eye on is The Witcher 2; even then, I prepared to be disappointed. After ME2, my faith in PC gaming is pretty low.

Oh, I'd forgotten about The Witcher 2. Yes, hopefully some news about that would be nice.

I'm all for sequels, since they <s>often</s> sometimes improve and expand on a good theme. There's so much more to life than Doom clones though.

Civ 5
Deus Ex 3
Shogun 2 Total War
ArmA2 Op Arrowhead (annoyingly jumping on the 'standalone expansion pack' bandwagon)
Minecrack Multiplayer Survival Mode
Mount & Blade Multiplayer Steam Sale cos I'm fucked if I'm going to fork out 26 quid for it.

WHAT! That would be great. I didn't get too far into SoC but I could handle another go on a current generation console. Ico was beautiful.

This is very much a console focused list and most of it doesn't get me too excited. New Portal, Gears and Batman games would be good, if they live up to the standards set by the originals. Last Guardian is very interesting but an unknown. And the Zelda series is dead to me due to the choice of control system.

What I'm really looking forward to is Fallout: New Vegas. I can't get enough new Fallout.

Ico was indeed beautiful, but an absolute bitch to get a hold of.

I was looking forward to rage, but then it slipped to 2011. The next portal, max payne, deus ex and medal of honour games look good too.

Possibly maybe we'll see diablo 3, this would be a good thing.

Portal 2 interests me far more than Zelda does. Was it just me that didn't like the last game they brought out on the Wii?

As I mentioned up there I don't like the control system on the Wii. It's great with more active games I guess. But when I'm adventuring I just want to move my fingers and thumbs, not my arms as well. That's insane! It seemed like a fine game, I just couldn't be bothered.

Actually I quite liked it, but it was my first ever Wii-game so everything was new and exciting. Zelda games are always variations on a theme though, but I'll always buy them just for the familiarity I guess.
