1. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

I can still remember the first time I ever played Splinter Cell on the Nintendo Gamecube, not too long into playing I was completely immersed in the story and gameplay. I was completely hooked. I went onto own the 2 newest titles, and to beating Double Agent with my friend's copy of the game. I've been a huge fan since the very beginning, and Conviction looks like it can blow everything we've played before out of the water.

2. Alan Wake

The game that has seemed for years to never want to come out will finally be released this year. I have been incredibly excited about playing this game since I first heard about it, and every new bit of information I tend to drool over. It will probably seem surreal whenever this game is finally released, and no matter what the critics say about it I will buy it Day 1.

3. Red Dead Redemption

Honestly, how many people can name other Western games than Gun and Red Dead Revolver? I played the crap out of Neversoft's Gun on the Xbox 360, and managed to complete everything 100%. I loved Red Dead Revolver, though I only managed to rent it twice during its lifespan. I'm growing more excited with every new bit of information about Redemption, and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

4. Starcraft 2

Oh, the days that were wasted playing the original. Starcraft was the first RTS game I ever played, and what got me into them. Starcraft was also the first game I ever played online, as my two best friends and I would spend nights after school trying out eachother's Custom Maps. Whenever this was announced a few years ago, I practically freaked out pure excitement. I will be one of many gamers waiting in line to get my copy at Midnight.

5. Halo: Reach

It's Halo.

6. Dead Rising 2

"My mama always used to tell me I'd be good at somethin'. Who'd have ever thought that that'd thing be zombie killin'?" - A line from the movie Zombieland that I'll probably repeat many times during my playthrough of the new game. I first played the original game at my friend's house, and immediately I was completely hooked. I think I must have played that game for 5 hours straight, and it was the game that I always played whenever I went over to hang out. Interestingly enough, I was playing Dead Rising on his 360 whenever he got his first Red Ring of Death. To this day, that Xbox rests on a shelf along with the case for Dead Rising.

I also could have said "You kill Zombies with chainsaws attached to a motorcycle" for my reason for wanting it.

7. Fallout: New Vegas

I never played the first 2 Fallout games, but I did however play the last title Fallout 3. A setting like Las Vegas for a Post-Apocalpytic game is perfection, as a city like that is filled with millions of people and gamblers. It should be interesting to see how the game plays out, and I'm very excited for the first peek at gameplay.

8. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

It kind of took me by surprise whenever this game was announced, as even though I was playing Advance Warfighter 2 recently it didn't really occur to me that a sequel could be in the works. I am very happy that there's a new title on the way. Though there isn't too much info available about the game, I'm sure that whatever Ubisoft has in the works it's going to be fantastic.

9. Just Cause 2

I used to play the demo for the original game all the time, as for some reason I wasn't interested enough to want to buy the full game. It was filled to the brim with ridiclous action, and it looks like the sequel is going to top everything about the first game. The new hookshot can be used to scale buildings, hook onto helicopters, or even create a makeshift jetpack out of a propane tank. I think the name of the game should be changed to "Just Awesome 2."

10. Alpha Protocol

Though the game was delayed late last year, my interest in the game has been high since I first read about it in Game Informer. Since I first played Mass Effect, I have been completely hooked on Roll-Playing Games, and from the looks of it Alpha Protocol is going to be added to the list of fantastic RPG experiences.

Other Titles: Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, METRO 2033, Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, The Adventures of P.B. Winterbottom, Call of Duty 7 (No info available yet), Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.
