I thought id do something simple, something that we can chat about for a while (and probably argue about, lol).

Here are my picks for those games to look for in 2002:

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Platform: Nintendo GameCube
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Silicon Knights
Genre: Survival Horror

This game has been in development for a very long time now, originally planned for the N64 this game was moved onto the GameCube for a few reasons (A. The GameCube would have already been released by the time they finished it B. They couldnt do everything they wanted to with the game on the N64 C. The game would have had to be cut short because of the small cartridge capacity). But now they have had more time to put in, and its certainly shown, the graphics have greatly improved over the N64 version and now they can fit much more into the game thanks to the GameCube's optical discs. This is gonna be one huge game, supposedly more than 60 hours long, and set over many different time periods ranging from Medievil times to the present day and possibly even beyond that. This will be the ultimate survival horror game, and exclusive to what some people call a 'kiddy console', belive me there is nothing kiddy about this Resident Evil, Too Human, Metroid Prime, Turok Evolution or Perfect Dark Zero (altho its gonna be a long time till thats released). All in all this is looking to be one of 2002's best games, if not one of the best games of all time, we shall wait and see.


Unreal 2
Platform: PC
Publisher: Infogrames
Developer: Legend Entertainment
Genre: First-Person-Shooter

The Sequel to wanna of the greatest games of all time is coming... and its gonna blow us all away. This games boasts more options than fleas on my cat, lol. With graphics that are going to need a super computer to run on, and a Network MultiPlayer that is surely going to need a fast Broadband connection, it isnt going to be cheap to play, but definetly worth it. When Unreal Tournament was first released it got amazing reviews from every magazine and website possible, and rightfully so, and the sequel looks to improve on this already brilliant game. Theres not really much to say about this right now, ill let the game do the talking when its released later this year.


Soul Caliber 2
Platform's: System 246 Arcade Board, Triforce Arcade Board, Nintendo GameCube, Playstation 2, X-BOX, Gameboy Advance.
Publisher: Namco
Developer: Namco
Genre: Fighting

The original Soul Caliber is one of the only fighting games ive ever liked, along side Super Street Fighter 2 and the original Mortal Kombat. Soul Caliber puts every other fighter to shame, making Tekken look like a school yard scrap, and Dead or Alive look like a little girls tea party, and its sequel is already looking to beat its predesessor in every respect. With improved graphics and sound, more options, new characters and enviroments and alot more of those brilliant moves that made the first game so amazing. Soul Caliber 2 is being primarily developed for Sony's PS2 based Arcade Board: System 246 with a version for Nintendo's, Namco's and Sega's GameCube based arcade board: The Triforce, and console ports to the GameCube, PS2 and X-BOX, even a handheld port to the Gameboy Advance is planned! Although the basic game itself is the same on each peice of hardware, the Triforce, GameCube and Gameboy Advance versions will be able to link up for data transfer! What this will be used for isnt exactly known yet, but its most likely to be used for hi-score swapping between arcade, home and portable versions. This game is going to be the greatest fighting game ever, without a doubt.


Please reply with your thoughts on my choices, and your own choices please, hopefully we can get a good conversation started! :-D

first of all I'am a game hunter, I hunt for rare games, dbz games are very rare in britain, for it had a very small limit.

No mercy is also hard to get nowadays for it a brillant game.

So I'am sorry but that the way I'am a game isn't how it look it how it play and what the person feel about.

There are a ton of games i'm looking forward to this year, and it's going to be extremely hard chosing which ones i'm going to buy.

GTA: Miami has caught my attention purely for the fact that GTA3 ranks as one of my all time favourite games.

I'd also love to get my hands on a copy of Medal of Honour for the PS2. It looks a great FPS.

One other game that springs to mind is the PC version of GTA3. More of that beloved game will do me just fine.

Project Ego is looking very impressive, and FFX is sure to be good for RPG fans, but WWF No Mercy? Wasn't that from LAST year? And how can anybody possibly like anything with dragonball z on it, lol.
