Games to Look Forward To

Dragon Age II - March 8, 2011
Dragon Age II thrusts players into the role of Hawke, a refugee who survives the destruction of his homeland and becomes the Champion of Kirkwall. The lore around Hawke's rise to power is shrouded in myth and rumor and is the driving force behind the all new story spanning 10 years in the Dragon Age universe timeline. Players will uniquely experience how this legend unfolds by gathering the deadliest of allies, making tough moral choices, amassing fame and fortune, and sealing their place in history.

What would make this game bad ass?

  • Authenticity to the original game. Who will be the ruler of Fereldan, Alistair or Anora?
  • Capability of finding Duncan and Cailan's armor and weapons.
  • Increase number of dragon battles.
  • An appearance by Morrigan. Perhaps an appearance of the child she may have had with the main character, if you chose to complete the quest.

Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars - March 22, 2011
Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars will include all the characters from both seasons of the animated television series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as well as some fan-favorite characters from the beloved theatrical Star Wars Saga. The game will feature brand new battle modes, giving players unique, head-to-head combat and an upgraded level builder, allowing the creation of customized bases and in-game battlefields. Play either as a Jedi or Separatist with all-new character abilities, such as Squad command, Lightsaber slicing, Lightsaber jumps, long distance Jedi attacks and Grapple Tie-Ups, all within a new, easy to navigate hub.

What would make this game bad ass?

  • Providing me with the opportunity to behead Mace Windu with a teenage Boba Fett.
  • Lightsaber battles with lots of "swishing" sounds.


Lego: Pirates of the Caribbean - Tentative, May 2011
Lego: Pirates of the Caribbean will be based in the world of the globally successful film franchise, incorporating story lines, locations, and characters from all four Pirates of the Caribbean films.

What would make this game bad ass?
  • It's a Lego game, therefore it's already bad ass enough.


The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - TBA 2011
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword marks a turning point for The Legend of Zelda franchise. The introduction of full motion control enabled by the Wii Motion Plus accessory synchronizes player movements with Link's actions while offering the most intuitive control of any game in The Legend of Zelda franchise to date.

What would make this game bad ass?
  • Packaged with the game is a full size, Link costume to wear while swinging my Wii Nunchuck as if it were a sword.
  • Free Epona pony purchase.
  • Ability to find Tingle and make him my bitch.

Batman: Arkham City - Tentative 2011
Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkahm City, the new maximum security "home for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters, and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced game play features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

What would make this game bad ass?

  • Increase number of Batman gadgets.
  • Increase in the number of villains. Joker was the main villain in the original game, perhaps he can make some new friends. The Riddler? Penguin? Mr. Freeze? Bane?
  • Leave fucking Catwoman out of the game.
