Halo Wars (360) - ... that Halo is considered a party game it's rather difficult to have two players trying to face each other when the screen is visible to both players.

Do you even hear yourself talk? Seriously. There is no local multi for any console RTS for such obvious reasons. There won't be there either. Uh...duh?
Moreover, I was more scared about
H.A.W.X.'s ENHANCED REALITY SYSTEM or whatever the fuck they called it. At first, no one ever said anything about being able to turn that shit off, and the whole idea of it locking you in on a target and giving you all those stupid lanes and gates to follow to intercept stuff is kinda annoying. It also apparently has anti-crash and anti-stall bullshit so it's somehow holds your hand the ENTIRE FUCKING WAY, which is bullshit.
Luckily it looks like all that shit can be ditched, so maybe the thing is salvageable after all. There's also, luckily, a 1st person option. At least according to a Gamespy interview from this past year's E3. Let's hope that wasn't scrapped, because if it forces you outside or to use that god forsaken long-distance camera that shows both you and the target, I'll be ragin'. Hell, that's practically a deal breaker. There's a lot that looks wrong with it right off the bat thanks to these retarded features but here's hoping, since I'm really interested in that real world geography stuff they're doing with all that satellite imagery. That's a really awesome idea. Unfortunately, Ubisoft Romania has proven that they like to make shitballs flyers like Blazing Angels so my confidence ain't too high here.
For myself, Toku nailed two of the four.
Bionic Commando, only because GRIN nailed Rearmed so well, and because man that swinging mechanic looks both deliciously difficult and superbly AWESOME to do in the environments they've shown. I hope it's as fun as it looks hard, it'd be nice to play something challenging again.
Street Fighter 4 is looking awesome, for obvious reasons. Still unsure of what I'm getting the stick for, triple or circle, but only because I'm concerned where else I'll be able to easily use it.
OutRun Online Arcade: I already came fourteen times at the announcement. I don't care if it's a port of C2C or not, that's still awesome. Especially since the max they'd charge for it is 15 dollars. Magical Sound Shower here we come.
IL-2: Sturmovik: Birds of Prey is apparently able to be as simmish (or close to) as the older PC series entry, and I had no idea this was even coming until recently. Shows how much attention I pay, huh. But hell yeah, this could be the exact opposite of HAWX's bullshit in the worst case scenario, so here's hoping it lives up to it's name.
