Spectacular lineup, though I personally think it's going to be hard for 2011's lineup to be out-shined and outsold. Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Dark Souls, Gears 3, Uncharted 3, Arkham City... and those two military shooters that I forgot the names of; you know, the ones that have sold billions for some reason...
I personally am interested in Amalur, Dragon's Dogma and GTA V, though ME3 may eventually return to my gaming heart, just as ME2 did a month before its release.
Missing from your list is the new reboot of Tomb Raider, I Am Alive, and Alan Wake: American Nightmare. Oh and the behemoth that is Halo 4, though I doubt it'll make 2012 despite with 343 Industries or Microsoft says. _________________

Also, Asuras Wrath, Blazblue CS Extend, Skull Girls, and possibly Blazblue 3.
ME 3, Anarchy Reigns and the almost certain AC 3 are my biggest titles for the year. _________________

with any luck m$ give the go ahead for cricket to use kinect this year, (pretty sure it will be move enabled regardless) and i hope that a good football game comes this year because both of them sucked hard last year, even though EA are enabled by ridiculously high marks for fifa 12.
oh and borderlands 2 of course _________________ kill, kill, kill.....the white man. Kill the white man, kill

Don't think it's been confirmed but it's pretty much a given due to the story. _________________

Maybe ME3, maybe Far Cry 3, yes to Vita, yes to Diablo III, maybe to The last of Us (we really know nothing about it), maybe to GTAV, maybe to XCOM (the tactical, if it's any good), yes to FFXIII2 (maybe second hand or on special), and a maybe to Dead or Alive 3... probably a yes to Borderlands 3, yes to Catherine (local release).
Also any Tales games that get localised, definite yes to those!
My fear is that too many of these sequels won't live up to the hype/expectations.

All that, and it's only January 12. For me, I'm looking forward to The Last Of Us, Borderlands 2, SSX, Lollipop Chainsaw, Soul Calibur 5, the new Insomniac IP (Overstrike?) and DOA 5. I'm hoping for something from Criterion, too. Been too long since Hot Pursuit. This is a near certainty, though, given their partnership with EA and N4S.

Forget 2012, I think all the games that are getting released in February will be enough to last me through the year. I plan to get:
The Darkness 2
NeverDead
Asura's Wrath
Hyperdimension Neptunia MkII
FFXIII-2
Binary Domain!
SMT: Devil Survivor 2
It's hard to believe that they're all out in the same month, and then we've got the Vita on top of that. Just give me a copy of Mass Effect 3 in March, and I'm good for the year, haha. _________________

I hadn't heard of half of those games, but upon looking them up, I've made a list of the games I want in 2012
final fantasy XIII-2 (maybe)
Jak and Daxter HD Trilogy
Mass Effect 3
Tales of Graces F (maybe)
Dragon's Dogma
Prototype 2
Bioshock Infinite (Maybe)
GTAV
Sly Cooper 4
Last of Us
and maybe
NeverDead
Syndicate
I think they are all 2012 games anyways _________________

BioShock: Infinite is looking hot. Some nice titles coming this year, should be a good one.
Will the Wii U hit this year in the west? _________________ Shin J Leon.

You think that'll make it to this year? I'll be very conflicted if it does.
Monaco and Mechwarrior Online do look pretty good too of course  _________________

Good to see that the ratio of sequals/prequals/tenthquals to new ideas is still about 50:1. I would like to see more new games (that arn't PS3 exclusive )..... with that said where is Bulletstorm 2  _________________ Da Bessssss

Probably nowhere considering no one bought it (or, to be fairer, it didn't do anywhere near a million units). _________________
