We've taken the video game preview back.
The Bitmob community waited in the bushes and ambushed the video game press. On pain of death, we took our prize, and like Robin Hood and his merry men, we're giving it all back.
We asked you to write about your most-anticipated games of 2010, and the results are in! (More after the break.)
Red Dead Redemption -- Scheduled Release: May 18
"He's wanted: dead or alive. I say dead. Nothin' worse than hauling a bounty back, slung over the back of my horse, kicking and hollering the entire way. I prefer them quiet and dead and soon to make me temporarily rich. The way it should be. Let this be quick. I long for the cold steel of that rifle. The burning of whiskey in my gut. The brief companionship of a scarlet lady." -- Michael Bradley (read the full article)
"I am a product of watching TV in the 80s. When nothing was on television, I watched syndicated western left-overs from previous decades. The reason Red Dead Redemption is my most anticipated game of the year is that it fulfills my childhood fantasies with an adult story line." -- Nick Berger (read the full article)
Alpha Protocol -- Scheduled Release: June 1
"Sega's Alpha Protocol hype machine reached its crescendo long ago. Both developer and publisher talked about and showcased the game multiple times since the early 2008 Game Informer reveal. I can't even quite explain why I just don't care any more. I don’t mind when a game gets pushed back. I don’t even care if the company doesn’t give a very good reason for said delay." -- Mark T. Whitney (read the full article)
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker -- Scheduled Release: June 8
"Monster Hunter creatures and Axe body spray T-shirts may seem to desecrate the fiction of Metal Gear, but I find these things fun. The Monster Hunter crossover takes place on an island separate from the rest of the game, and the product placement...well, it doesn't really bother me. Will I wear a Doritos shirt? Probably not. Will I direct my anger at Kojima Productions and Konami for including it in the game? Not really." -- Suriel Vazquez (read the full article)
Lucha Libre AAA 2010: Héroes del Ring -- Scheduled Release: August 9
"Notable key features: It's a wrestling game (duh) using Unreal tech; the Lucha Libre license; the Mexican developer; and Konami's international market reach. The title's success hinges on the execution of the license and, of course, the quality of the gameplay." -- Juan Letona (read the full article)
Metroid: Other M -- Scheduled Release: August 31
"It really grinds my gears that the developers won't adjust the control scheme to work with the Classic Controller or just a simple Wiimote and Nunchuck combo. They're not allowed: Yoshio Sakamoto, the co-creator of Metroid, said so. Well that's just great. Now you have two awkward, clunky perspective modes that somehow manage to mess up the Metroid series' two key strengths: first-person shooting (Prime) and simple-yet-complex 2D-action platforming." -- Kevin Zhang-xing (read the full article)
