OK, so for my first real post, I thought I'd talk about my very own Top 5 Most Wanted list. I have no idea how many others have written such a blog entry, and well, I don't really care. :) #1 being the most wanted of the most wanted and #5 being something I really want but is more recent news and I haven't had enough time to build up an obsession for it yet.
#5 Brutal Legend. I love all things Jack Black and this is no exception. Add in the fact that you can shop shit in half and get, well... brutal, and I've got myself one helluva a game. I'll have to see gameplay before I judge this game though, this could easily be replaced by the new Soldier of Fortune for the very same reasons, minus Jack.
#4 More Portal!!! I think the response to Portal has been heard by Valve and I pray they make a full version of this game. I'm talkin' 20+ hours at least with many ways to solve each puzzle. If you go through Portal a second time, as I did, listening ot the commentary, you can really se how much thought and detail went into this game. It's incredible.
#3 A Wii. I really have no idea why. I just... I need one. Got the PSDustcollector sitting my living room with the DVD version of Talladega Nights (as opposed to the Blu-Ray version that came with it) because the special edition DVD had deleted scenes actually put in the movie, rather than just an added option on the menu, I love then they do that. I'm on my third 360 as well, as the red ring of death seems to follow me wherever I hide it. *sigh* At least it's the Halo 3 Special Edition that I got simply because of its uniqueness. (I like Halo 3, but my boxers stay dry when I play it, so I'm not hardcore or some shit.)
#2 Fallout 3. The only reason this is not #1 is because it's an FPS. Which is not to say I dislike FPS games, there are plenty that remain my favorite. But I fear the same fate for F3 that Vampire: Bloodlines received. Much to be removed and stripped with little bug removal and a rushed release. That being said, Fallout is one of my all-time favorite series and I cannot find the will to remove it from my list of most wanted games.
#1 Hard Choice for me here... I'm gonna do the unthinkable and let #1 be a tie: MGS 4 and Spore.
First off, I'm not the hardest of hardcore fans of the Metal Gear Series. The first game was awesome. Period. The second was, well, lacking to me. Instead of playing a sequel, it was like watching the sequel as a movie you got to play here and there. As for Snake Eater? I didn't even beat it. I read a synopsis so I'd be caught up with 4 and that was it. I loved Metal Gear Online though, that was kickass fun once I found an unlagged server...
So why is MGS 4 tied for #1? It brings it all back. The names of the baddies from the first game appear to be reincarnated as Metal Gears. Are they clones of the originals? I miss Psycho Mantis :( And Ocelot was the baddest of all time, but that is for another post. :P Also, from what I've seen the game plays like a dream and I want ot see Solid Snake die. Yes. I want him to die. Not because I hate the character, but because it's time. It's time for Solid Snake to die and I want to play him up to his moment of death. Oh, and I need validity for having a PS3. That too...
As for Spore... I'll keep it short. It's going to be awesome. It is going to be delayed. It's been in development long enough for my obsession to be complete. If you know me and my gaming needs, you know I need customization. That can make a game for me. Rainbow Six: Vegas could have been just an urban GRAW that I played for a few weeks and put on the "I'll play this again in 6 or 7 months" shelf. Spore is the ultimate game of customization. I cannot foresee a time when the game would not have replay value. Another of my gaming needs.
Wow, I wanted to keep it shorter, but hey, you probably didn't even get this far, anyway :P
If you did, do you agree with any of my points? Disagree? What's your Top 5 Most Wanted?

#4 Orange Box, for awhile it was a high priority for me, but since I can't seem to get the cash to get it I have to put it on hold.
#3 Spore, I want to make babies with this game. The whole concept just blows my mind at how far ole Will Wright is going.
#2 Assassins Creed, I have this one already on order so when the time comes it shall be mine, probably one of the few 360 games I will get this year.
#1 Starcraft 2, I will go ahead and admit I am a Blizzard fanboy I loved the Starcraft and Warcraft series and I eagerly await an update of my beloved Starcraft.
