2010: Year of the RPGs?

Valkyria Chronicles 2 - My most anticipated game

I’ve just finished compiling my list of games to buy, with some being released this year, some without release dates, and some I’m not even sure will be localized. A few on the list are other genres, but it’s clear to me that this is a year for RPGs. Ignoring all the games that are yet to be confirmed for a U.S. release and even those without release dates, that’s still an impressive list for the first half of the year. Who knows how many more will be added to the list as the year goes on. One thing’s for sure — I need to find some more work to be able to afford all of these.

    Oh wow, that’s a massive load of games, I’m speechless, lol.

    Anyway, I hope you get them and enjoy them all, there are some games in that list that I’m really dying to play like Lunar, White Knight Chronicles, Final Fantasy XIII, Resonance of Fate, Tales of Graces , Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, and from my personal list I should add Yakuza 3 and BioShock 2.

    I suppose you are going to slap my head since I haven’t played Valkyria Chronicles, but I promise that I’ll get it and play it before the PSP sequel comes out. :P

      I make such a list every year, though I think this is the largest so far. And to think, there will be even more games coming out than the ones already on my list.

      I’m sure I’ll enjoy most of them, at least. Some of them aren’t interesting enough to pay full price for, so I’ll pick them up once they get a price cut. FFXIII is one of them, unless it has some sort of pre-order bonus or limited edition. I’ve just never been a fan of the FF games, aside from the original Tactics. Same thing with Kingdom Hearts.

      Oh, I’m going to do more than that. Go out and get it this instant! O_O
