Lets do a most wanted list.

would be good to know games to look out for...

For me its Gears of war,medival total war2,rainbowsix,too human,Final Fantasy 12 and mass effect those are mines.

What have i missed ?

Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Dead Rising
Zelda: Twilight Princess

Those are all I can think of at the moment.

Edit: I forgot Red Steel

Are you going by games coming out this year (realistically). Last time i heard, FF12 is a no chance thats for sure (unless you heard otherwise). IF there was a game i want this year its Super Smash Bros Melee & Super Mario Galaxy. Medieval Total War 2 is also one i' m waiting for plus the next Dawn Of War expansion pack.

12, not 13. 12 is out in October.

FF12 was supposed to come out in 2004,but came out early 2006 in japan,so ofc its comin to europe late 2006,its just translate the lanuages thats left,that takes some month at most.


yes i forgot mario galaxy!

Virtua Fighter 5! I wish they' d put it on PS2 as well.

I wouldn' t hold your breath for SSB: Brawl in ' 06. According to Gamespot...

Masahiro Sakurai said that the trailer was the only thing they had to show for their hard work. And it also states an early ' 07 date. And according to Miyamoto, Galaxy probably won' t be a launch title.

It would be nice though, wouldn' t it?

This year kind of sucks, 2007 is a going to be a great year though, sure the consoles launch this year, but usualy for all consoles the launch games are less than steller.

Not looking forward to much this year really, one or two games maybe.

Whoops i was thinking QuezcatoL was refering to FF13, but he was really refering to FF12 (didn' t know about FF12 at all to be honest, not a big fan of the FF series).

Yeah i know the chances of seeing Super Smash Bros Brawl & Super Mario Galaxy is next to Nil (actually it probably is nil).

At least theres a new Zelda.

Yes FF12 is supposed to come to eu/usa this winter.
Japanese famitsu gaved it 40/40 only 6 games has got that score.

However it should be noticed that halo2 got 9,9,9,10 and nintendo dogs got 10,10,10,10.

... :P

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Resident Evil 5

But i don' t think Re5 will be coming out this year. I think they' ve mentioned something about it being released before March 07, so there' s still a small chanse.

And then ofcourse there is a load of other games, like Gears Of War, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Lost Planet, TLZ: The Phantom Hourglass (if im not completely mistaken it should be released by the end of this year, right?)

Didn' t think Xbox needed another shooter, but having seen a trailer for Gears of War I' m salivating waiting for it!

Ninety Nine Nights, Viva Pinata, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (because I' m a sucker for comics), Street Fighter 2 for xbox live.

Also Electroplankton for DS and I' ll buy the Wii, but I havn' t seen launch titles - going by Gamecube, I' d buy Zelda and Wario Warez straight off.

GoW isnt really jsut another shooter as its quite different from all the other shooter games. Though all shooters are welcome in my eyes on the xbox 360

Love them all. Each and every one of them. Even that Barney FPS.

Gears of war is a stop and pop. If you get me.

Is Trauma Center: Second Opinion a launch title? I think it is. If it is, then it' s my most-looked-forward-to game of 2006. " Look mommy! I can draw pentagrams in the air! Wiiiiii!!!!"

EDIT: Yes, it is a launch title, along with Rayman Raving Rabbids, for which the trailers have made me interested (I never knew bunnies couldn' t play soccer).

My Brother in Laws getting a 360 soon and i' ll get some hands on soon. Gears of War looks good (well as good as it could on those grainy low qual YouTube videos will allow).
I would get a 360 but i know next year i' m gonna build a new PC to replace my 2 year old PC and i' m gonna need all the money i can save for this beast (thats the plan). Hopefully Vista will be out (and cracked ;P) so the hardware can be full compatible (DX10). So Wii will be the only console this gen for me (bu i guess you know that already).

Im looking forward to:
Tony Hawk downhill jam(wii and ds)
Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass(ds)
Tenchu Dark Secrets(ds)
Pokemon Diamond,Pearl,and Ranger(ds)
Super Smash Bros Brawl
DS Air(ds)
StarFox Command(ds)
Contact(ds)
and a whole bunch more
