PC:
*Mass Effect 3
Darksiders 2
*Diablo 3
*Guild Wars 2
*Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm
Metal Gear Solid: Rising
Torchlight 2

Wii:
*Xenoblade Chronicles

No need for other PS3 or XBox360 games since I have a neighbor pal who gets new games often. I don't even have 12, but these are the most anticipated for me. The 5 marked with an asterisk are already pre-ordered.

Metal Gear Rising isn't coming to PC.

 

[Marjorine]

Maybe I am becoming a jaded gamer, but there is no way I would buy 12 games on that list.

Diablo 3
Guild Wars
Halo 4
Mass Effect 3
Bioshock Infinite
SSX
Madden (I always buy it. I know, I know...)

I would buy the next WoW expansion when it hits. That's about it. I would assume those games would keep me plenty busy. I also assume I will get caught up in the hype and get GTA, play it for 15 hours and then drop it, like I have done with every GTA since I beat Vice City.

 

[Warrior_Keoni]

Metal Gear Rising isn't coming to PC.

Meant to talk about Re-vengeance...I'm pretty sure that one is coming for PC.

 

[slick7rick]

I don't think buying one game a month is extravagant. Especially if you stagger your purchases so you are a month or so behind the release dates. I want half the games on that list!

Also, the people only posting one or two games, looking at that list, there are honestly only one or two you want to play? That must suck.

i rarely have time to play games, so i make sure the ones i play are very good single player experiences, or very fun multiplayer games. i envy those of you that buy games each week/month and actually have the time to play them

Metal Gear Rising IS Revengeance, and it ISN'T coming to PC.
They canned the PC version when Platinum Games took the project.

[lazybones18]

Updated my list to accommodate the release of Resident Evil 6 in Nov

 

[18-Volt]

1. Soul Calibur 5
2. Paper Mario
3. Uncharted Golden Abyss
4. Kid Icarus: Uprising
5. Sly: Thieves in Time
6. The Last of Us
7. Tomb Raider
8. Tales of Graces
9. Tales of Xillia (don't fuck with me, do it Namco!)
10. Tales of Innocence R (this too)

12. The Last Story

And whatever comes with the Wii U.

Others: FF13-2, Fire Emblem, Twisted Metal, Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3, RE6 (if it comes to Wii U), AC3

2012? Ha-ha!: GTA5, The Last Guardian

 

[Blue Ninja]

I never even buy 12 games a year to begin with.

As for this year: Mass Effect 3, Prey 2 and Halo 4 are a given. I'm considering BioShock infinite, but I'm currently leaning towards the 'nay'-side of things. I might also get the 360 version of the Witcher 2.

Oh shit, I forgot there's a new AC coming out this year too.

[topramen]

Batman Arkham City (I know, not 2012)
Mass Effect 3

Resident Evil 6 (rental?)

 

[yukonrye]

Will buy at launch no doubt:
Diablo III
WoW: MoP
Starcraft II: HOTS
Torchlight II

Will buy if I find a good deal on it:
Guild Wars 2
Paper Mario 3DS
Ni no kuni

Will buy if it exists and I find a good deal on it:
Uncharted Trilogy
Gears of War Trilogy


Just Blizzard games alone will be enough to hold me over this year. Still have a huge backlog to work on and I'm not ready for all those sequels.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Buy:
DMC HD Collection
Skullgirls

Watch List:
Borderlands 2
Mass Effect 3
Street Fighter x Tekken
Ninja Gaiden III
Darksiders 2
Darkness II
Bioshock Infinite
Resident Evil 6

 

[Neiteio]

Well, based on what we know and reasonable speculation:

- Resident Evil Revelations
- Resident Evil 6
- BioShock Infinite
- Starhawk
- Luigi's Mansion 2
- Kid Icarus Uprising
- Pikmin 3
- The Last of Us
- Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
- The Last Guardian
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Xenoblade Chronicles

In no particular order. Of course, I reserve the right to drastically overhaul this list as the year goes on, which I have no doubt will be in order once Nintendo shows their hand at E3.

 

[Data West]

Binary Domain
Diablo 3
Lollipop Chainsaw
Mass Effect 3
Max Payne 3
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Xenoblade Chronicles(exception to most the rules)
Yakuza: Dead Souls

If they show up this year:
Darksiders 2
Dead Space 3
Grand Theft Auto 5
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

When you don't really mess with d&d/tolkien fantasy, jrpgs, racing games, FPSes or puzzle games, it makes it pretty easy.

 

[guest1321]

From 2012:
1. Mass Effect 3 - I'm already this far. And I enjoy the series quiet a bit.
2. The Witcher 2 - Based off the PC gamers reactions, I am super jealous
3. Bioshock Infinite - does not need justification
4. Halo 4 - Come on 343i! Make it sick!
5. Assassins Creed - Played 2 - revelations in a month and a half. I need more!

From 2011 (seemed interesting but will wait till cheaper):
6. MGS: HD Collections
7. Homefront
8. Bulletstorm
9. Dark Souls (maybe)

 

[Rentahamster]

1. Diablo III
2. XCOM

multiplied by 6.

 

[SolarPowered]

1.Skullgirls
2.BlazBlue Continuum shift:Extend
3.KOF XIII
4.Soul Calibur V
5.Person 4 fighter
6.Resident Evil:Revelations
7.Mario Kart 7
8.UMvC3:Megaman Edition(we all know it is coming)
9.Grand Theft Auto V
10.Xenoblade chronicles
11.Catherine
12.*slot open for interesting/big hitter Wii U launch game*

This looks pretty good if you ask me. I'd kick a game out for RE6, but it looks uninteresting outside the Leon horror sections.

 

[Reuenthal]

Risen 2
Mass Effect 3
the new King's Bounty
Darksiders 2
Bioshock Infinite
Max Payne 3
Prey 2

Syndicate
Max Payne 3
Doom 4 (assuming it gets released this year)
Far Cry 3
Aliens: Colonial Marines
BioShock Infinite
Metro: Last Light
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Prey 2
Resident Evil 6

[beastmode]

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Xenoblade Chronicles
Resident Evil 6
BioShock Infinite
Fable: The Journey
Far Cry 3
Halo 4
Journey
The Last Guardian (lol)
Metro: Last Light
Prey 2

all great shooters with the exception of xenoblade (supposedly amazing,) fable: the journey (only good use of kinect tech i've seen) journey, (who doesn't want this game?) and last guardian (lol 2012.)

Edit: not including TBA games like gta v and revengeance.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Only 12? This is MADNESS.

Below are my runner ups. There are many 2012 games I want but these were at the top of the list. A lot of these are runner ups because they have not yet been confirmed for a 2012 release.

Transformers: War for Cybertron 2 (PC)
Tomb Raider (PC)
Catherine (PC) - Rumored and I already own the PS3 version.
Dark Souls (PC) - (Already own on PS3)
Magical Drop V (PC)
FFXIV Version 2.0 (PC) - Really excited about this but disappointed with FFXIV and there are too many other good MMOs to play in 2012.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC) - Was hyped but going to wait for sale after playing the demo.
FFXIII-2 (PS3) - Already pre-ordered. >_>
Silent Hill: HD Collection (PS3) - Have them all on PS2 already and can already play in HD (mostly), emulated on PC.
The Last Guardian (PS3)
Ni No Kuni (PS3)
Tales of Graces F (PS3)
Last Story (Wii)
Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) - Pre-ordered.

[Barberetti]

Definitely:

Torchlight 2

Maybe:

Max Payne 3

If released this year:

Doom 4
Grand Theft Auto V

That's my lot. I'm kinda thinking about getting into Battlefield 3 or the new Star Wars MMO as I've got a few friends who are playing them, but not sure if I want to dedicate months of gaming to either of them yet. I did over 3 years of WoW, and am still catching up on games I missed out due to that massive online session.

 

[haikira]

01. Mass Effect 3
02. Max Payne 3
03. Resident Evil 6
04. Last of Us
05. Bioshock Infinite
06. Alan Wake's American Nightmare
07. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
08. Metro: Last Light
09. Halo 4
10. Silent Hill: Downpour
11. Borderlands 2
12. Resident Evil Revelations


Really doubt these two will be released in 2012. But if they are, delete the bottom two of my list for these.

The Last Guardian
Grand Theft Auto 5
