Your 5 most wanted games of 2005

Based on the games we know of so far what are your five most wanted games of 2005 and why?

These are the five that first come to mind for me although I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

1. Okami - I just really love the style of this game and judging from videos of it, the gameplay seems varied too.

2. BioShock - It's the spiritual successor to System Shock 2, one of my favorite games. Especially with Ion Storm being dead to me with Smith and Spector gone, I'm counting on Irrational to deliver in the FPS/RPG niche.

3. Jade Empire - Bioware's ancient China inspired ARPG is looking really cool. I hope the gameplay is even more open-ended than KotOR.

4. Zelda(GC) - I'm a little worried after being disappointed with Wind Waker but after the excellent Pikmin 2 I know EAD still has the major talent to pull off something amazing.

5. Unity - Old-fashioned shooter gameplay with some very trippy visuals. I expect this to be better than Rez.

I'd have to say...

01 Advance Wars DS (Intelligent Systems) DS
02 Ridge Racers (Namco CT) PSP
03 The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (Capcom Studio 1) GBA
04 Ookami (Clover Studio) PS2
05 Star Fox Assault (Namco CT) GC


...aw crap, I can't stop....

06 Dragon Warrior VIII (Level 5) PS2
07 Wanda and the Colossus (SCEI) PS2
08 The Legend of Zelda (Nintendo EAD) GC
09 Pac-Pix (Namco CT) DS
10 Ys: The Ark of Napishtam (Konami Digital) PS2/PSP


...sorta sad that Sega's dropped off the list entirely. :(

Hmm, can't really think of much other than Zelda and Jade Empire. Can anyone post a release list for the big name games in 2005?

1. Day of Defeat: Source + one million HL2 mods
2. KOTOR:2
3. Zelda (DC)
4. Phantasy Star Trilogy


To be honest, with DOD:S plus all the fantastic games that have come out Q4 of 2004, I doubt I will be even thinking about 2005 games until May or June.

Ok, My turn:

1. DMC 3
2. Jade Empire
3. God of War
4. S.T.A.L.K.E.R
5. RE4

1.Oblivion-if it makes it, i will be living it
2. New zelda-i have not been let down by a zelda yet, i dont expect to be.
3. jade empire- bioware+martial arts, i get the feeling it will be good.
4. City of villians- not a pvp fan, but it will bring more content to the city of heroes universe, and that can only be good.
5. ookami- it better come over to these shores, thats all i have to say.


EDIT: djrocc has shamed me, i forgot advent rising, that game gives me a good, beyond good and evil type vibe, i make it number six, let it be so.
