What games are you waiting for in 2009?

street fighter 4
bioshock 2
no more heroes 2
Kingdom hearts psp/ds
much much more..

 

ODST is Recon

No More Heroes 2 isn't due until 2010

 

Why do you say this? I generally consider myself an avid gamer, and I enjoy both of those games, especially Left 4 Dead.

 

Yeah, I really enjoyed Left 4 Dead.

 

Diablo 3

 

Pier Solar (Mega Drive)
DUX (Dreamcast)
Rush Rush Rally Racing (Dreamcast)
Dynamite Dreams (Dreamcast)

 

I like playing Left 4 dead with AWS and his friends. When you do that, you tend to do better and have a more enjoyable experience because everyone in that group is so serious about beating the game and being careful, rescuing teammates, etc.

If only AWSs other friends had TF2, a team of highly coordinated team players in TF2 would tear everything up.

 

I'm looking forward to the Codemasters take on the F1 licence they acquired last year. Should be the first decent F1 game in a long time....

 

Well, I don't mean everyone who likes them isn't avid. Everybody I know who claims to be hardcore into games, usually PC, pretty much never plays anything at all because everything "is stupid", but they absolutely adore those two and I just don't get it. Opinions are opinions and I can't say there bad games, but I think there overrated. I played L4D for a few hours with 4 friends and got so bored I ended up just playing stuff by myself. I noticed none of them ever play it now either. Just saying, pretty much.

 

Do tell more! What kind of games are they? Are they to be retail, or download only?

 

Honestly? Only SFIV right now...nothing else looks appealing. I still need to finish about 4 games from 2008 and buy some from 2008 before moving on to 2009 haha...good thing there's only one on the list at the moment.

 

So did any of these games live up to the hype? Were they worth waiting for?

 

Never got into SFIV. I preordered it but someone took my copy before I could pick it up. I was pretty angry. Since E3, there's a lot I'm looking forward to.

 

I found the games that I was waiting for didn't gather my interest any longer when they were released.

I was also waiting for Street Fighter. I think I had written Resident Evil too. I'm sure they were both good games, but I haven't had time to play them and I have been spending most of my time on older games.

 

At this point in time, I really just want:

Raiden 4 (X360) and that FORMULA 1 racing game that's being developed by Codemasters for the Wii.
