It’s a game! No, it’s a safari simulator! No, it’s a, wait, what is it again? Sony sure as biscuits doesn’t know, and until they figure it out, you won’t be playing it.
Anything from Blizzard that doesn’t have the words “World” or “Warcraft” in it – PC
Blizzard doesn’t need to do anything but sit back, maintain the servers and roll around in their huge piles of cash, but despite this, they’ve started working on StarCraft 2, no doubt in an effort to make sure every man, woman and child in South Korea helps out the Terran cause. Don’t get your hopes up for seeing it this year though, or any other sequel to their other franchises, unless you can somehow get the Chinese to televise Diablo 2 tournaments.
L.A. Noire – PS3
Noire means “night” in French, or it means “black”. I don’t remember. Hey! Maybe this is going to be a video game remake of the classic Martin Lawrence time travel caper “Black Knight”! We can only hope, seeing how we won’t be playing it this year.
So there you have it -- a completely non-scientific, partially irrational look at the games that, sadly, you won't be seeing this year. I am virtually guaranteed to be right on at least 30% of these. Mark it down. I am that good.
