Top 50 Most Anticipated Games of 2012

We've been waiting for the true beginning of 2012 for a few weeks
now, but ithe wait is over for some of the biggest releases in video
game history. We'e decided to put together a list of the Top 50 Most
Anticipated games this year to get you excited. Check out the great
coverage we have to hold you over until your most anticipated game is in
your hardware and you are finally enjoying it.













Brothers in Arms: Furious Four
(PS3, Xbox 360, PC)




The Brothers in Arms series has traditionally been an epic, somber
take on World War II first-person shooters, but Furious 4 is changing
that in radical ways. The Inglourious Basterds-inspired title
sees you fighting alternate-dimension Nazis who have succeeded in
creating advanced superweapons. If that wasn't enough of a departure
from the previous titles, each character in Furious 4 can level up with
experience, and the game will feature skill trees. We're not quite sure
what to make of this one, but we're definitely intrigued.





















Skullgirls
(Xbox 360, PS3)




A fighting game made by fighting game fans for fighting
game fans, Skullgirls is the dream 2D fighting game project that you
wish you could have made. Developed by pro-gamer Mike "Mike Z" Zaimont,
this indie fighting title boasts variable team sizes, custom assists, an
infinite protection system, an unblockable protection system, and one
of the most in-depth tutorials that has ever been seen in any fighting
game ever. For you graphics buffs, the game offers the most frames of
animation ever drawn for a fighting game running at a smooth 60FPS. It's
simple, balanced, and supported by the fighting game community. If you
play fighting games for their rock solid mechanics, then give Skullgirls
a shot. The roster ain't bad to look at either.



























Syndicate
(PS3, Xbox 360, PC)



It's still unclear whether or not Syndicate will be a game that takes
itself seriously, but given that the main character's name is "Miles
Kilo," we're going to guess not. This dystopian future FPS will allow
players to shoot crazy bullet-bending guns and even "hack into" the
minds of enemies. It's a much-needed twist in a stale genre, and we're
looking forward to it.





















Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
(PS3)




Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a collaboration between
veteran RPG company Level-5 and the world-famous animation group Studio
Ghibli. Anybody who loves films like Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke
is delighted by the prospect of exploring a Studio Ghibli world, and Ni
no Kuni truly does look as though the player will be jumping right into
an animated film. Although there are concerns about the game's combat
system, the setting and characters look to be an absolute delight. Ni no
Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is coming to the PlayStation 3 in 2012,
most likely sometime this spring.

















Metro: Last Light
(PS3, PC, Xbox 360)





Metro: Last Light takes players back to the subway tunnels under
Moscow, where humanity now lives in shelter from the irradiated
wasteland above. The Dark Ones were destroyed at the end of the previous
game, Metro 2033, but humanity is still the biggest threat to itself.
Both the Communist and neo-Nazi factions return in full force, waging a
war against each other. And once again, Artyom is stuck in the middle.
Step into his shoes in this first-person shooter/horror game when it
lands this summer.
