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?

Chris Sanner: 1)SSX, 2)NCAA Football 13, 3)FIFA Soccer 13

Glenn Wigmore get two thumbs up from me for the NHL 13 vote..

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.

Madden 13, NCAA 13

Re: OS Staff Lists Their Three Most Anticipated Titles of 2012

It's hard to muster much enthusiasm for NHL 13 after the series has basically been put on cruise control since NHL 10.

I really wish Natural Motion would have made a console version of Icebreaker instead of leaving it on cell phones.

EA NHL has just been resting on its laurels once 2K stopped putting out hockey games.

[RUFFNREADY]

I want them all; because i am a gamer!
Funny how the staff didnt have 2K13 on their list; 2K12 had a chance to vanquish any hopes of an EA NBA title this year, and they let it slip through their fingers. Anything that EA comes out with now will be played by ballers who are fed up with 2Ks buggy game.
cheers

1) College Hoops! I wish...
2) NCAA Football 13
3) Madden 13

[jtserb]

COME ON COLLEGE HOOPS! IT CAN HAPPEN RIGHT?

[truintellectplaya]

1. College Hoops- I want to see if it is coming back
2, MLB 2K12- I want to see how they go out or if they go out.
3. MVP Baseball- I want to see if it will be announced
3A- NBA 2K13- I want to see just how much more respect they earn once again when it is proven that people just like to complain because they will still be far superior to anything the comp will produce, and I am one that thinks if they improve there online and then bring back college hoops so that draft classes can be incorporated they will deliver the knock-out punch once and for all.
