Halo 4: Hope it's fun, wished Bungie was on board though
Call Of Duty: ~~Teenagers will buy this game anyway~~ Modern Warfare 3: Prime example of corporate greed and unoriginality. Copied Halo:Waypoint and Infinity Ward (Although the better developer) cannot seem to find any other war to recreate so they just keep going with this bullsh**. Treyarch isn't getting away either... their new Call of the Dead map is a complete disappointment (especially when you have to bring Buffy and other career sunken actors into it because your writers SUCK)
Wii U: Has Potential, Seems like Nintendo is playing catch-up with competitors. (They should have made the controller an expansion to the OG Wii/ Wii should have had the better GPU and HD graphics and processing power)
PS Vita: THIS is what real gaming is all about
Kinect: Two Words... OPEN SOURCE... another two words... DEVELOPER KIT
iOS5 (WWDC): Copies almost every single competitor to Apple
Frogger 3D: This I Want...

@RR - I agree with you on everything, specially with CotD, it feels like a bigger version of Five. I also don't expect much from Halo 4 seeing as Bungie isn't working on it, same with MW3 due to the lack of InfinityWard employees. I lol'd when it was said that the developers are aiming for a "bug free" MW3.

I hate sony, but the vita looks awesome, looks like it'll be the first console in years to actually focus on games and gaming mainly.

I've been following Robert Bowling's Twitter, and he said they are working to make MW3 better without stopping power.

Yup.

One move that will practically make me love Nintendo is if they got off their ass and actually made Metroid Dread, because the idea of a 2D Metroid adventure is great.

Apparently Wii U uses a variation of the CPU that powered the Jeopardy! bot Watson.

Quoted for truth- it'd be great to see a modernised spin on the Super Metroid formula.

Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission weren't that long ago...

Good point, actually- still have my old copies of Zero Mission and Super Metroid, actually. But even still, a general return to sidescrolling with a modern spruce up will be great to see once Metroid Dread does get off the ground. Don't know if it will, but it'd be great to see.

And provided the Plasma and Ice Beams in it, I'm all ears.

I'm thinking Metroid: Other M may have put Metroid on hold for a bit.

Indeed- whilst it was OK and innovative with the two different perspectives, it didn't quite feel like a Metroid game to me. I don't know why, but it just didn't.

They kinda gave up making good games after that, I blame the Wii U.

This comes out this winter:

Yeah, it's been since the holidays since there have been some good first party Nintendo titles, but that doesn't mean they stopped making 'em.

The Wii System is to blame. I think they KNEW developers were going to be hindered by the motion sensing controls. They screwed up. They need to add OPTIONS for regular controls and motion sensing. Another thing to blame is lack of good hardware. We are in the Twenty First Century... everyone is using accelerometers, gyroscopes, and bluetooth fore controls (Even before the iPhone 4) and they went with INFRARED, if you look at a EM Radiation scale you will see that Infrared is a long wave... those are the EASIEST to block. That is why TV's are so devastatingly bad. Infrared Sensors are pushing twenty years old. The OG Wii should have been what the Wii U is sans the peripherals. Then on the side add in Motion Sensing gaming and Tablet Gaming. The real losers here are the developers.
