If all goes well next year when I'm officially enrolled in Fairleigh Dickinson, then these will be apart of my wishlist. Whoo.
1. Final Fantasy Versus XIII
This is a big, big, big one. I really adore the Shakespearean theme and the usage of a quote from Hamlet which is a pretty badass play. So props to the development team for that and the whole modern setting being infused with the usage of arcane magic just . . . wow. Then you have Prince Noctis who seems like he'll be a joy to play, with the way Nomura is describing him as NOT being like Cloud, but having a light hearted side too. Not your typical angst-ridden character? I'm game.
2. Legend of Zelda: The Skyward Sword
Okay . . . one sentence: Link . . . falling out of the freaking sky with a freaking awesome sword that houses his companion. Double U. Tee. Eff. That is bloody awesome. That small premise alone makes me want to hug Miyamoto, the dude has his A-Game cap on. It's amazing that you can keep breathing new life into a decade-old (maybe even two decades actually) franchise and still attract a horde of new fans. I'm saving up for a Wii just so I can get this come X-mas time. For myself. Just because . . .
3. The Last Guardian
Haven't played ICO, looked beautiful, heard great things about it.
Haven't played SotC, looked beautiful, and also heard great things about it.
My parents don't like rewarding me with things unless I, in their words, "really, really, really deserve it" so yeah . . . 'till I get blessed with a job, I won't be getting these amazing titles. Sad, I know.
Anywho, I figured that I'll start with this when it comes out and the prices goes down considerably after it's release. I've always been a stickler for a young kid and their nearly inseparable bond with their pet and this game will make me and a whole lot of other people (manly men included) teary eyed. I mean look at that wittle griffin, it's so fucking CUTE! Big, yes, but also furry and large-eyed and just GAAAAAAAAH! I want that game.
Want. It.
4. Kid Icarus: Uprising
. . . because ya' know sometimes I wake up wondering what it'd be like to sprout a pair of angelic wings, don a laurel wreath around my head, and fire arrows imbued with the almighty power of the Gods themselves, like a badass mo'fo. But this is real life and real life as we all know sucks harder than a wench around 2 am in the morning, doing God knows what to God knows who so . . . we have this wonderful upcoming Wii-exclusive title.
I'll get to shoot arrows and hover over those puny bitches, like a badass mo'fo. Buying? Oh hell yes. Renting this would be like selling your soul to Disney and never getting it back. Ever.
5. Starcraft II
this . . . also just 'cause I'm a base-building nerd. I facking loved Warcraft III and so BLIZZARD can suck it for ruining my vision of seeing a massive online base-building/base-destroying MMO-version of this type of game . . . they can suck it hard but not for long. See, Starcraft II is going to be amazing. The visuals look amazing, the CG cutscenes are amazing, the bloody voice acting is amazing. I loved the original Starcraft games so I'm pretty damn sure that I'll love a revamped direct sequel to the original. If I trust BLIZZARD with anything, it's with the development of a damn good game, they know how to keep fans salivating for more: CASE IN POINT: Freaking Starcraft II. Duh.
