The 5 Most Anticipated Games for the Second Half of 2010

We look at what a year it has been so far for games, but even better, we look at what games are still on the horizon.

We’re not even halfway through it, but 2010 is already an incredible year for gaming, with titles like Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Mario Galaxy 2, and Final Fantasy XIII already making huge waves among gamers.

What the hell? Seriously, what the hell? Where the **** is Gran Turismo 5?

[Lionhead]

Yeah it's not the best list =\

Socom 4, Medal of Honor, Little Big Planet 2, Castlevania, Brink, Bulletstorm, Dead Rising 2, Fable 3, LA Noire, Metroid Other M, and Portal 2.

Any of those are more anticipated than Sid Meir's -_-

[The 10th Rider]

I agree with you, but don't bash Civilization, it's one of the top series of all time. The only problem with it is that it's PC only.

[HolyOrangeCows]

"Star Wars: The Force Unleased II"

Wow....

[Bolts]

Force Unleased 2? WTF!!?

[eagle21]

This list sucks. Where is Metroid: Other M and Gran Turismo 5?

[Digi]

Settle down, like the article says "Here are just a few"! And of course it is subjective:)

[Gamehead36]

no gran turismo 5
no little big planet 2

I understand opinion but damn...

[RememberThe357]

That doesn't make this list suck any less.

[sid4gamerfreak]

Fallout: new vegas is gonna be awesome.....

[diego750]

Civilization?. COME ON!! This list is wrong. I was expecting GT5 or LBP2

[Digi]

What can I say, some people actually do prefer strategy games over racing games...

[Falloutxii]

I liked FALLOUT 3 so much I use it as my PSN ID. maybe you've seen me kill you in KILLZONE 2. : )

[MikeTyson]

SOCOM 4, GT5, LBP2 etc. Crysis 2 etc.
this list is trash.

[dizzleK]

splatterhouse, enslaved, dead rising 2, crysis 2 and hopefully a new resistance.

[crapgamer]

Mine would be Halo Reach (Of course) Fable 3, Crackdown 2, LBP2 and COD Black Ops.

[DelbertGrady]

The penalty for that is 5 insta-disagrees. If you're lucky.

[skare13]

for saying SMG2 will be GOTY

[A LIVING LEGEND]

WKC2,GT5,Last Guardian,LBP2,Castlevania.
Fallout NV is an outside shot,and another Halo......is well,another Halo.
Oh,I forgot DS2.....loved the first.RE5 was terrible in comparison imo.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Where is the Real Driving Simulator?

[TheCagyDies]

Reach, Peace Walker, and Zelda.

[led1090]

You people really underestimate the Civilization series. It is second only to starcraft in the hearts of strategy fans. The franchise has sold millions and is consistently rated as one of the best in gaming. Civilization 4 had an average rating of almost 9.5. GT5 may have 10 times as many followers, but anticipation is not measured merely by the number of people anticipating the game. And Starcraft 2....well i don't think anybody should be surprised with that. It is poised to be one of the heavy hitters this year.

[White-Sharingan]

All titles found on microsoft platform (360, PC), smells funny...

LBP2, GT5, Zelda, MGS: Peace Walker, Super Scribblenauts, etc

[asgharagha]

my list:5-enslaved 4-crysis2 3-guardian 2-lbp2 1-gt5

[despair]

wow really fail list

1.Gran turismo 5
2.Starcraft 2
3.LittleBigPlanet 2
4.The Last Guardian
5.Halo Reach

Much better.

[Bolts]

Any list without Starcraft 2 is pure fail. I'm not a RTS fan but it's hard to deny that when this game is released, South Korea would forget that North Korea even exists.

[Drjft]

If you guys don't agree, get over it. It's someones opinion. Go write something better.

[Freak of Nature]

1.LittleBigPlanet 2

2.The last guardian

3.GT5

4.Zelda

5. Metroid: Other M

Crysis 2,Halo Reach,Brink,Fable 3,Enslaved,are up next,need to see more...

Oh and surprise showings of Kingdom Hearts 3,Beyond good and Evil 2,Dark Cloud 3,Anything ODDWORLD, could be top 5 material too....

[Faelan]

Nice to see a list that doesn't consist of 5 shooters or some one-sided crap like that.

But a list of only 5 games is pretty much destined to fail since gamers are individuals with their own preferences and if you happen to be a hardcore shooter guy, a game like Civ 5 is most likely going to suck for you, while being the best thing since sliced bread for somebody else.

It also fails a bit since you need to own at the very least a PC -and- an X360 to have access to all those games on the list. If you're a PS3 gamer, you're down to only 2 of the games from the list.

*shrug*

Personally, it's Cataclysm, Starcraft 2 and Civ 5 for me at the moment. Not sure what's going to take the last 2 remaining spots and those 3 I've listed are basically enough to satisfy me anyway. Heck, Cataclysm alone could probably do it for me. I would however add Storm of War: Battle of Britain and/or DCS: A-10C Warthog for sure if either one makes it, but somehow I have my doubts since things move slooowly in the flight simulator world.

[Venoxn4g]

Metroid: other M?
Zelda wii?
Peace walker MGS?
Castlevania?
Splatterhouse?

[AliTheBrit19]

Fable 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Portal 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum 2, Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, Call of Duty: Black Ops

[OwNizzleD]

There are a lot of games coming out in the second half. They should have made top 5 for each console and PC.

[PotatoClock]

Yeah it looks like the guy tried balancing PC, multiplatform and console only games. For a top 5 thats bound to have consolers screaming fail.
