With the recent releases of the sequels Darksiders II and New Super Mario Bros. 2 I deemed it appropriate to create this thread.
While the fall season technically does not begin for another month or so, the biggest boom period in gaming has already initiated. Following last years phenomenal line-up of Deus Ex: Human Revolution in August; Resistance 3 and Gears 3 in September; Batman: Arkham City highlighting October, and a spectacular November climax of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, nobody believed such a multitude of titles could be toppled. Until now.
2012 stands as a crossroads in gaming with the first major console release in six years. While it will no doubt fail to spawn a revolutionary experience right off the bat the Wii U is poised for the most balanced industry launch ever. There is something for everyone from platformers like New Super Mario Bros. U and Rayman Legends to casual fitness and relaxation games along the lines of Wii Fit U and Just Dance 4 to grittier "hardcore" games led by ZombiU.
The Wii U launch is just the tip of the iceberg, however. The Xbox 360 and especially Playstation 3 haven't exhausted themselves just yet. Multiplatform games like Borderlands II, Resident Evil 6, Assassin's Creed III, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II lead the charge. Exclusives remain too including the highly anticipated Halo 4 (360) and The Last Of Us (PS3).
With such a stellar line-up to choose from in the near future which games are you most excited for?
