Games I'm looking forward to:
I was originally just going to talk about Scribblenauts, but then I decided to tack some more stuff on.
Scribblenauts
It's by the same developers who did Drawn To Life (which I loved, and am very much anticipating the sequel), only this time you write words and stuff happens in the game. There's apparently over 10 000 word which do things in the game. However, what has really made me excited is this Kotaku article, which has found that, while 'SHOOP DA WOOP' and 'RAPTOR JESUS' don't do anything, 'RICKROLL' and 'I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER' do. This is the kind of geeky crap I live for!
Fossil Fighters
Hey, remember how in Pokemon you could only get some of them through reviving fossils? Yeah, this game is pretty much that concept expanded, WITH DINOSAURS (albeit made-up ones). Okay, yeah, Dinosaur King did that already, but this seems to be making more use of the 3D engine. Also, unlike in Dinosaur King, this game apparently lets you have pterosaurs and sea reptiles as fighters (in DK, they only helped your main dinosaur). This is awesome.
Pokemon SoulSilver
I loved the original Silver version. Unfortunately, due to cartridge battery issues, it died, and I can't play it anymore. Of course, now they're remaking it, and it so far looks to be just about the best Pokemon game ever made EVER. Finally, you can have Pokemon follow you around (yes, this was in the series before in Yellow, but now it can be EVERY Pokemon)! This game can't come out soon enough!
That is pretty much it. I'd have put in Spore: Galactic Adventures, but that's out now.
