Brutal Legend
Poor Tim Schafer. He's notorious for being one of the greatest yet
unappreciated designers, to the point that I think some people
unconsciously ignore him by default. Well, pay attention. Brutal Legend
is all about the power of rock, but not in a crappy School of Rock kind
of way. We're talking headbanging, hotrodding, flame-spewing power
chords kind of rock mixed with fluidly raucous hack-n-slashing. Plus, it
has Lemmy from Motorhead - the greatest metal band ever, and that's
fact, not opinion.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
It's like Persona, except that instead of fighting the clock to make
friends, you fight the clock to keep them alive. The Shin Megami Tensei
series has always had some of the most provocative stories in the
role-playing genre, if not all of gaming. Combined with a battle-system
similar to Persona, Atlus would have to try to screw this one up.
So there you have it. The games we are 100% certain* will be award winning titles** in 2009!
* Not Really.
** Wow, that's just blatantly false.
Questions or comments? What games are you looking forward to from E3? We'd love to
hear from you
