   I am really shocked at the number of games I’d like to buy or play this Spring. Here we go…

   PC:

   • Metro 2033. I’ve been interested in this since I completed that awesome mod for STALKER that made it good. I mean really good. If you order this games on Steam, you get Red Faction: Guerrilla for free. It’s the only game I’m balking on purchasing. The FREE game may convince me otherwise. Also, the English translation of this book cannot come out soon enough.
   • Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising. No brainer. This was pre-purchased the first day it appeared on Steam. I just wish I could find people that would play co-op (original DoW) or The Last Stand with me.
   • Other notes: Ubisoft games on the PC are numbered. Just sayin’. Idiots. With Command and Conquer 4, I’ll watch the gamer response to it.

   PS3:

   • MLB 10 The Show. I thought the previous game in the series was the best sports sim I’ve ever played. I’d like to jump at this, but will it be much of the same thing? Plus, these games are hard. SUPER HARD. I have a Sony Visa card loaded with points. I may blow some on this.
   • One to watch: God of War III. I’ve played the PSP game and really liked it. However, it’s so easy to get through them, I may Gamefly this title–and play it in 2012 when it becomes available.

   Wii:

   • Red Steel 2. I’ve never played the first, but this game looks to have mastered the Motion Plus swordplay and it looks like Borderlands meets samurai meets the old west.

   FFXIII on the PS3 is the main title on my radar this month. Having just finished the original Yakuza a week or two ago, I’m also VERY excited to get Yakuza 3.

   I’m on the fence about God Of War 3. I’ve sworn in the past not to buy another God Of War game at full retail cost because I finish them so fast. I think I’ll cancel my preorder and just rent it for a week and finish it up sometime after I am done with FFXIII.

   I’m also looking forward to SMT: Strange Journey on the DS, though my DS Lite spontaneously got some nasty cracks on the hinges the other day, so I might need a new DS or DSi in the near future.

   I’m holding off on getting Dragon Age: Awakenings for now. I still have a LOT of the main game to work through and from the sounds of things, this is an expansion that takes place after the main storyline is done, so I’ll wait until I’m closer to finishing that bad-boy off. Plus I still haven’t finished off Mass Effect 2 yet and that’s the Bioware game that’s getting played around these parts right now.

   I forgot to add Infinite Space to the list of games I’m watching. I’m not going to buy it right away but it has been flitting around on the periphery of my game-sense for a while now and I’m curious about how it turns out.

   AH! They finally made Chocolatier on the DS?! Now I need to find out if it is original or a port of the somewhat crummy iPhone version.
