Maybe I'm the only one here, but Rogue Warrior seems to have come out of nowhere. There's been barely any buzz on this game for months now. Bad sign?
What has been getting a lot of attention, however, is James Cameron's Avatar: The Game. But that's mostly due to James Cameron himself talking on and on and on and on and on about Avatar. Check out my preview for it here.
Also, MX vs ATV: Reflex looks like it could be some good fun. Kudos to you all for not falling for the bikini girls trailer when I first posted it. I'm impressed that a almost naked ad campaign didn't really work!
Hit the break for the full releases. What's looking sw33t to you all?

I was pretty interested in Rogue Warrior initially (mostly because it's a Bethesda game) but some of the early reviews on this game were brutal. I liked the idea of the multiplayer with the map tile system... so that the online maps could be continually changed and different. I also like that it was a "tactical" FPS game.
I'm still kinda interested... but will wait till after the game is out and see the reviews. I've also not seen any actual ingame video... I detest seeing cutscene game video because it can be very misleading.
Avatar... sounds a bit too much like HAZE with the different sides having different abilities. Again, this is a wait and see title for me.
I read all the Rogue Warrior books and the game appears to lack their obscene charm and sense of humor. It seems more like a UFC promotion, which generally has as much taste as a mullet with flannel. We'll see though.
Yeah we didn't see much promotion for Rogue Warrior besides a cinematic trailer. I knew the game would suck. Bethesda's track record this gen hasn't been good besides ToS4 and Fallout 3.
DO NOT GET ROGUE WARRIOR! Don't even rent it people please! I played 30 seconds and couldn't play anymore. Me and my brother broke down in a fit of laughs. Its sluggish the frame rate drops inconstant (though mostly bad) the story is shit the entire game is worthless! AND HE SHOUTS "FUCK YOU COCKFUCKERS" EVERY time you through a grenade.
As for the others "Avatar" has shit cut scenes but the game is good looking which is probably aimed at those that want more from the film. And Saboteur is traditional pandemic fair, awkward controls but wicked game.

Also, CTZ, you didn't list Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes in the list of DS games, but at least you got the video!
I might pick up M and M: CoH for budget price.
Now if you'll excuse me I have to buy a PS3 so I can watch The Tester and not shut the hell up about Meredith's magnificent red hair.
