Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Loved the first two, with Among Thieves being a massive evolution of the first. One of the few games that actually makes me care, laugh and panic and I am awaiting the third with bated breath.
In addition, 3PS games are my forte competitively so I'm equally looking forward to the multiplayer - the taste I've had already proving what I loved about the second has been refined and polished. Thinking about it, Drake's Deception is the only beta I've ever bothered with.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Not only an essential purchase, but I've gone for the Animus Edition - the encyclopedia of the Creed universe was too much of a lure to pass up.
Deep story, a grounded premise in time (when done right games that dabble in timeline manipulation swallow me up more than any other) and a truly unique multiplayer, that completely destroyed the skeptic in me, it would be difficult to pass this up.
Dark Souls
The first game was one that wasn't afraid to be difficult, whilst never feeling unfair no matter how brutal everything became.
I have this one waiting for me to play, and when I do I can only hope it is just as brutal and just as well realised as the first.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
From the first trailer I knew this was a universe I could get behind, to the extent where I've even read the Icarus Effect, something I've never humoured the idea of before.
With the game also seeming to break conventions and actually release a solid piece of single player DLC I can see this being in my playlist for a long time.
Pokemon: Black Version
Pokemon will always have a place in my heart, from the time I got a GameBoy Color and Pokemon Red and Blue for my birthday all those years ago.
Whereas I have technically outgrown this now (24) - it is the game I take with me on business trips to while away the arduous train journeys and lonely hotel nights.
I wonder if my clients would look at me quite so favourably if they knew...
