  • Already pre-ordered RE:6, Dishonored, AC3, and Hitman. Im probably going to get Borderlands 2 after it comes out but probably will not rush to go out and get it.

  • I will not buy call of duty black ops 2. I will not buy call of duty black ops 2. I will not!!!

  • infinite, ac3, black ops 2.... need i say more?

  • Reserved- RE6, AC3, Hitman Absolution, Tekken Tag 2.

    And, I'm heavily considering FarCry 3.

  • i need more money, i have far cry 3,borderlands 2, and RE6 preordered but i want halo 4, sleeping dogs, medal of honor warfighter, hitman and need for speed most wanted

  • Cannot wait for ACIII. As much as I love Ezio Auditore da Firenze he's had a long and full life that we've seen every minute of. I'm ready for a new Assassin. I just hope Ubisoft delivers on the Desmond part of the game this time!

  • Probably going to wait on black ops 2 but I've already preordered dishonored and AC3

  • Hitman, Halo and Far Cry for me

  • Darksiders II, Borderlands 2, Assassin's Creed III, Dishonored, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Halo 4, Black Ops 2, and Hitman are all on my list of soone to be pre ordered

  • halo 4, black ops 2, assasins creed III, y hitman absolucion!! lml

  • Honestly the only game I give two craps about is Borderlands 2. Well not entirely true but I don't have a 3ds and already own dark souls. Bioshock...... Guess we are going to wait for that one  another year.

  • I plan on picking up Borderlands 2, RE6, AC3, Black Ops 2 (For the single player/co-op/Zombies only) I am 50/50 on Halo 4, Darksiders 2, and Far Cry 3. Still, I would rather all the above titles not come out at all if they would put out Bioshock Infinity this year in place of the rest.

  • I just wish they would spread the releases out more. I mean why not put some out this month, next, and so on? They will sell.. So why not give us gamers more options, as well as giving those who are not RICH a chance to get all the titles, and not have to pick one or two of them.

  • I was just going to stick with AC 3, Darksiders II, and C.o.D., but I've now added Dishonored and the last of us to the list

  • Assassins Creed 3, Sleeping Dogs, Dishonored, Call of Duty, and Hitman Absolution, and maybe Halo 4, but I will be waiting for Halo 4 reviews before purchasing it, as this is the first instalment of Halo by a different developer, and I have never heard of 343.
  • All I want is Dishonored and Assassin's Creed 3.

  • nsmb2 and halo 4.

  • Borderlands 2 and Halo 4 for sure,but everything else i am still skeptical.

  • 1. Halo 4 (come on who does not want to see how 343 handles the series)

    2. Assassin's Creed III. Only because I am a huge American history buff. I have only played the first Assassins creed

    3. Dishonored. It looks interesting and different, a good combo

    4. Medal of Honor. Tier one was one of the best war games I have ever played. Its a game mature gamers deserve. It was everything CoD is not, and that's great. Its follow up is high on my list.

    The Last two are Madden13, COD:BO2 Two games that forgot about innovation and ingenuity and have become very uninspiring to play.

  • In no particular order.  RE6, DARKSIDERS 2, DISHONORED, BORDERLANDS 2, HALO 4, COD BO2, HITMAN ABSOLUTION.
