OS Staff Lists Their Three Most Anticipated Titles of 2012

[RaychelSnr]

It's a new year, and the yearly cycle of releases is set to begin in the next week. Thus, we asked OS staffers what their three most anticipated titles are this year. Some interesting tidbits is that SSX appears in many lists, EA NBA appears in several as well while NBA 2K13 isn't in any of our staffer's top three most wanted -- which probably doesn't indicate our expectation in quality but rather that the staff is heavily intrigued by what EA is going to bring to the table.

So read our lists and then give us your own, what are your three most anticipated titles of 2012?

Mine would have to go:

1) MLB 12 The Show- This isn't even close. With the product they put out every year, mixed with my love for Baseball, this one is easy for me.

2) WWE '13- Normally, I'd never have a Wrestling game even in my top 5. Thats how good I believe WWE '12 is. Not only did it rope me back into wrestling, but the Universe mode has kept me playing the game since I bought it on release week.

3) NCAA Football '13- Its probably (definitely) unfair of me to leave NBA 2K out when its a game that I really love and respect, but College Football is my favorite sport, and I really am hoping EA turns things around. NCAA '12 took its fair share of risks, but frankly, they pretty much all fell flat on their face. The best thing EA can do is fix gameplay, because the game has become almost unplayable when compared to games like FIFA, WWE, NBA 2K, and MLB The Show.
