Well technically its a little bit of all of them...

According to MSNBC... cause that's the only thing not blocked here XD

'Resident Evil 5'

Given the pedigree of the series, not to mention the innovative enhancements of the last game, the sequel to "Resident Evil 4" was a shoo-in on our list this year. Early previews suggests "5" is more of the same, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Whatever the case, we're giving developer Capcom the benefit of the doubt and hoping for the best.

'Punch-Out!!'

Nintendo fans flipped in October when the company announced the first proper update to “Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!” since 1994. And rightfully so: The requisite timing and pattern recognition to play the game, in addition to its humor, always arouses a smile. It won't be easy revitalizing the 8-bit classic, but since the game is being handled by the developers of “Mario Strikers Charged,” we believe. (Also consider: Wii Sports Resort).

'Final Fantasy XIII'

Widely regarded as the most influential role-playing franchise on consoles, the latest "Final Fantasy" is scheduled to arrive on PS3 this year (and later on Xbox 360). But don't let the ridiculously high sequel number dash your hopes for originality, though. Developer Square Enix has a history of perfecting and evolving the art of the RPG, as they'll likely do with this one.

'StarCraft II'

This 10-year-old game is still being played – a lot – so you’ve gotta figure that die-hard fans are beyond excited for this one. Like a real-time version of "Risk" set in space and running at 80 miles per hour, it's no wonder "StarCraft" is one of the best-selling PC games of all time. And South Korea -- where "Starcraft" tournaments are televised live -- is sure to implode once the game drops. (Also consider: Diablo 2)

'Wheelman'

With all the games that come across my desk, I don't finish many -- it takes something special for that to happen. So after beating an advance copy of "Wheelman" at will, I can confidently say it's something to look forward to this year. Made by the same studio that produced 2004's critically-acclaimed "Chronicles of Riddick," the quick-hit missions, variety of tasks and just plain driving around never fail to entertain. The vehicular combat is so fun it will make you rethink the role of automobiles in open world games.


Is it accurate?

Out of all of that, I'd say StarCraft is the only one that passes as 'most anticipated'. And maybe Final Fantasy XIII (they're really flogging that series for all it's worth...).

I mean, if those are the most looked-forward-to games of this year, I'm going to be seriously ill.

And no, I don't think anyone has ever heard of Wheelman. It sounds like a game about a paraplegic superhero, and that's no fun at all.

Where's mention of Diablo 3? Sims 3? Are there really any worthwhile games coming out this year at all aside from that pitiful handful?

I say screw it; may as well go play Mario Kart on the Wii... if I had a Wii. :(

I DEFINITELY have never heard of Wheelman.
And I can say these aren't most anticipated for ME. I don't play any of em. Out of all those games, the only series I've ever heard of are Final Fantasy(then again, everybody has probably at least heard the name mentioned) and Starcraft(I heard the name somewhere).

And LC, yes, there ARE decent games coming out.
Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST, my friend.
