Jade Empire is amust cause i love Bioware ( ina non gay kinda way >.< ) Splinter Cell 3 (cause I beat the other two and need another challenge!) Gothic III ( wonder if i'll finally learn my name?)
Dynasty Warriors 5, Armored Core Nine Breaker, Tekken 5, any good FPS really....um...hope they make a new Legecy Of Kain game...Halo 3...which wont be out till about 2008..I think thats about it...
Actually Microsoft/Bungie unofficially announced they are gonna launch Halo 3, on PS3 launch date. And Bungie started working on Halo 3 as soon as Halo 2 went gold.
Now the games im waiting for Advent Rising Phantom Dust (most likely to be a sleeper hit and its only 19.99) Doom 3 Half Life 2 Pariah Painkiller Jade Empire Iron Phoenix All for the XBOX
Legend of Zelda: even though i don't own a gamecube. LoZ for DS: Castlevania for DS: Metriod Hunters for DS: Animal Crossing for DS: New Mario game for DS: Bomberman for DS:
Actually there are new rumors about Halo 3 debuting next year. I don't know if they're confirmed yet, but its been said that it will launch with the next xbox.
You didn't even mention San Andreas in the 2004 category.
But anyway, back on topic, I think that the biggest things to come out this year won't be games (don't get me wrong, there are some big ones coming out, TS:FP specifically comes to mind), but rather, they will be consoles. Each industry leader is coming out with a new platform. Unfortunately, it's gonna be at Chrsitmas, so it might as well be "anticipated for 2006"
It pains me to say this, but you are right. B.C. is gone. I really wanted that game.
Others I want:
The Legend of Zelda Advent Rising Jade Empire Narc (maybe) GTA: San Andreas (Xbox version out in June, I think) Gram Turismo 4 Devil May Cry 3 God of War Katamari Damacy 2
I may be missing others, but some I wish would be released include Ninja Gaiden 2 (sequel to the Xbox game).
Legend Of Zelda SOCOM 3 Final Fantasy XII Wanda and The Colossus Dragon Quest VIII Final Fantasy VII: Dirge Of Cerberus (Fall 2005 i heard) Kingdom Hearts 2
I don't put any stock in anything people say without a official quote from Microsoft. To me, any people who hope the XBox 2 will come any time soon will be terribly disapointed.
Personnally, I'm looking forward to Time Splitters 3 and Battlefeild 2.
Phantom Dust (most likely to be a sleeper hit and its only 19.99)
Have you tried the demo on one of the X-box mag demo disks? It's great, albeit in japanese, but the destruction you can do to the terrain is incredible and they don't skimp on the graphics either.
My list of games to purchase: Zelda Gaiden Phantom Dust Fire Emblem (GBA and GC) Metroid Hunters Jade Empire That gundam DS game and anything else that catches my eye
