Halo 3 ODST - Set for 9/22/09
Halo Reach - Set for #/##/10
ODST looks like it would be something worth playing. Not 100% digging how it could possibly feel like a free-running thing. Never did like that about games (s'why I quit Burnout Paradise after so long). Also a little skeptical on the new stamina system he was talking about. Kinda falls back to Halo 1's shield/health system where you actually had to go hunting down medpacks every 2nd or 3rd gunfight. Dual wielding is gone, so no more SMG/Plasma rifle combos, however, I'm glad to see they've returned the pistol to its roots with a zoom and 12 rounds. Firefight mode sounds like it'll be a hell of a blast, despite the fact that people will whine saying it's a ripoff of Horde from Gears 2 or Nazi Zombies from CoD:WaW. It's co-op features like this that make games nowadays more fun.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii sounds pretty promising. I've demo'd the DS version and came to like it, so I'm more than willing to give this a shot. Hell, it's gotta be better than most of the games Mario's been in as of late.
Now, I'm no God of War fan, and I personally doubt I will get GoW3, but I can say it looked very beautiful.
Since God of War is not on my to-buy list, I'll fill that empty slot with MAG. Yes, it's another FPS, and yes, sadly, it's on PS3. However, it looks that good enough of a title to buy FOR the PS3. Like ET: Quake Wars, it focuses primarily on objective-type matches. Sure, I'd much rather prefer a simple Deathmatch style, but meh, I've got friends getting it, so I know it'll make it more fun.
As far as Final Fantasy... well... at least they broke from MMO-style combat for XIII before announcing another MMO in XIV. Let's hope the new ATB system doesn't piss people off too much.
