Posted by Zonk on from the looking-forward-to-stuff-is-good-for-the-soul dept.

Gamemethod writes "We've highlighted ten of our most anticipated games for 2005 spanning each major platform from PlayStation 2 to Nintendo DS to PC. While our feature by no means intends to be comprehensive or to denote that we're not looking forward to other games, these ten titles stand out as the most impressive of what 2005 has to offer. There are exclusive galleries of Gran Turismo 4 and Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth as well as a lengthy developer interview with the Call of Cthulu producer."

    No wait, isn't this just an ad for video games? And maybe I'm just jaded, but they don't make any of them sound compelling at all. Meh.

  2. "The Legend of Zelda: New Gamecube Game" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Actually, I prefer the title, "The Legend of Zelda: Thunder Before Lightning"

    Doesn't sound that bad, eh? And it doesn't look that bad, either, a few moments later. (Oh, I'm so clever.)

    Now THAT is for the people who saw the E32K4 trailer. :) And yes, this is pretty much the only game I'm eagerly anticipating this year. I'm sure I'll buy many others as well, but they will be diversions until the main event arrives.

  3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadows of Chernobyl by GojiN · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Where is S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? This game allows you to explore the Chernobyl nuclear reactor area ~20 years after the blowout at the reactor. One playtester even found the office he used to work in while playing this! The animal AI decides whether to rest and hunt, and go on without you being in the area. There are over 100+ npc players for you to intereact with, form clans with, or destroy... It's going to release spring 2005. This may sound like some hyped up fanboy, but just read the about page and you'll see why one could be more excited about this than most any other game known so far slated for release this year.

    The Gamecube has had an extremely strong autumn/winter games-wise. It's too bad a lot of teenagers are too unsure of their manhood to risk buying a cube and having fun. Who knows - someone with a PS2 or Xbox might actually laugh at them .. because .. umm .. not all games have lots of blood in them.

    Or something.
