Borderlands: An first person shooter that should combine intense shooting and RPG-like leveling with full Co-op play both locally and online. The game`s focus is o
n customizing, witbh more then 600,000 (!) weapons in the final product. You can also customize your vehicle and character with similar systems. Topping it all off is a terrain randomizer. While city locations remain the same, the area between cities will be different every time (supposedly without a load screen).

Lost Planet 2: Capcom took an interesting rout annuncing this game. They set up an announcemenon Xbox Live, but no one knew it was Lost Planet 2 until the video was released. The video showed 7 minutes from a game that looked like a finished product. The sequel to extreme condition looks to turn up the heat with a warmer climate for the player and his squad (the game is heavily focused on multiplayer) to fight through, facing both alien Akrid and snow pirates from the first game. The game should ship this winter.

Batman: Arkham Asylem: The Dark Knight's latest video game adventure is a stealth-based, atmosphere-filled trek into the island of Arkham. The game should involve open world explorations with preditory stealth action. Batman will use his gadgets to
stay in the shadows and eliminate his foes carefully, or use a new multi-target combat system to take down his foes. Check out the videos online, they look great. The game should come out this september.

The Elder Scrolls V (Skyrim?): Virtually nothing is known about the newest installation of the best open-world RPG series ever, but with a game this big, I have to say something about it. Bethesda has said very little about the game, exept for saying that they ARE working on it. The last time I saw the Elder Scrolls was 2007's Shivering isles. I still play Oblivion, as it is one of the best games ever. In a side note, Bethesda recently copyrighted the name Skyrim, inciting rumers that TES5 would be called Skyrim.
Anticipating 5/5
Final Fantasy XIII: The latest of the perpetual line of final fantasy games (which are called a series, despite how they are all unrelated) does not look to be bringing any cha
nges to the real time action of Final Fantasy XII, but should sharpen things up with some of the best graphics I have seen on the Xbox 360. I have never been a fan of turn based Final Fantasy, (the only FF I like is Dirge of Cerberus, an action game), but RPG fans can pick it up in May.

Assassins Creed II: The sequel to my current favorite game featur
es a new hero and plot, and is based in Italy, with such cities as Rome and Venice. It should retain the open world gameplay of the first game while adding some additions to the combat, along with other general tweaks (see my post on it for a better description). I can not wait for its November-December release date.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Yes, it is a movie Tie-in, but a couple of things indicate that it may be above the normal level of terrible movie games. The game has a heavy focus on online multi-player. A few videos online suggedst a hectic team combat experiance. However, the videos also suggest that the game will be missing one of the best parts of the original, the destructable enviroments. It could be good, or it could be a waste of money. You can find out for yourself in late June.

The Beatles: Rock Band: While I love classic rock, I am not a fan of the Be
atles. This is not because I do not like them, butt simply because I have never heard much of their music. I love Rock Bands, and I think a game based off them should be a great way to experiance their music for the first time. The game will take a diffferent path then Guitar Hero's band-centric games, with nothing but Beatles. The game will have downloadable tracks, but will not support any song transfers to your Rock Band 2 library. You can pick it up in september, as either a disk case or special edition, with special Beatles instruments.
