I’ve been thinking about which 5 games I would most like to get my hands on when I finally get a PS3 & I have to admit it was a difficult choice to choose 5 but I managed in the end.

1. Assassin’s Creed. I haven’t seen any in-game footage of it yet but I really want this game. It looks fantastic from the images that I have seen in OPS2M & everything I hear about the game sounds great. Of course it could end up being a complete turkey & be the biggest disappointment since The Bouncer (I shudder at the mere mention of that name). Or it could be absolutely fantastic! Fingers crossed it’s the latter.

2. GTA IV. Yep you’re probably surprised it isn’t my no.1 choice but it’s only no.2 because I don’t know anything about it. Wherever it’s set & whatever new gameplay elements R* North have in-store for us I’m sure I will spend 100s of hours messing around listening to the in-game radios & causing mayhem & carnage with next-gen visuals to boot. 2007 can’t come soon enough!

3. DMC4. Words can’t express how much I loved DMC1. No game on PS2 has kept me going back for more, not even GTA:SA. If Capcom can combine the atmosphere, attitude of Dante & Boss characters from DMC1 with the combat styles of DMC3 I will be one very happy gamer!

4. Resi 5. Oh man how I loved Resi 4! It rejuvenated a stale series (which I loved & the original Resi 1 on PSone is still my favourite Resi game) with it’s over the shoulder targeting & action orientated gameplay & ever since the little trailer that was shown off last year I’ve been waiting patiently for some more footage or info. Apparently Resi 5 will be drastically different from Resi 4 so The Tokyo Game Show can’t come soon enough!

5. This one was a tough choice but in the end I plumped for Mercenaries 2. I loved the sandbox in a warzone gameplay of Mercs 1 & with the little clips of footage that I’ve seen on the Mercs 2 website I’m drooling at the prospect of having Mercs 2 to tide me over until GTA IV is released. To be fair to Mercs though the first game was the only GTA “clone” that was as much fun to play as the GTA games & I’m sure Mercs 2 will be of the same ilk.

Special mentions also go to THP8, FFXIII, next-gen Pro Evolution Soccer. Hmm I wonder if I’ve forgotten any games….

So what games are you most looking forward to on PS3?

The 5 games I’ve mentioned above are my “must haves” on PS3 I’m well aware of other possibly great games such as Resistance: Fall of Man, Call of Duty 3, GT5 etc but the 5 I’ve mentioned above are the games I REALLY want.
