Brink looks pretty good and I know some of my friends will go for that.

Criterion are doing the new NFS game? :D It might be like Shift, and be half decent, then. Last one I enjoyed was Most Wanted, and the last one before that I enjoyed was the original Hot Persuit (NFS4)...

It's going to be A LOT like Burnout Paradise from the footage that we've seen so far.

You say that like it's a bad thing. :D

Oh no, I say that on a 'depends on how you feel about BP' kind of thing.

I absolutely loved it so I'm definitely looking forward to this new NFS.

If someone disliked BP though they should definitely be worried about NFS.

Can't be worse than the last few efforts before Shift...

Unfortunately I do not have any set wish list for games this year. I'm still on the Bad Company 2 faze and am waiting on the Vietnam expansion pack that's being developed right now. However, on the topic of NFS HP by Criterion, I tried the demo and have mixed feeling about it. Some of the elements from Burnout Paradise is there. But the gritty and tricky (or is that hard?) handling found in the NFS series is also there. I have only ran through NFS Carbon once but never got into it that much. I've played through many hours of NFS World and found it to be okay and average at best. When I tried the HP Demo, it felt difficult on the handling as a slight touch to either direction really moves/steers the car. It also makes it difficult to really center your car as well as get a good turn at a corner. As drifting was fun and easy to do in Burnout Paradise, doing it in this one is also simple and easy to do. The only drawback is the fact that you have to keep your eye out for traffic and for other cars you're drifting with. I'm curious as to how well this game will perform when it comes out. It'll be on multiple platforms including PC, which raises the big question... has Criterion implemented TH/Eyefinity/Surround support for it?

That is very very true. ProStreet was the worst racing game that I have played in the last 5 years (admittedly I have not played many.)

Well hilariously enough I am playing through the entire Divinity II: Eco Draconis/DKS remastered thingy (never played the original version... and it's quite good. Though it's very much just another RPG with dragons and swords and so fourth. So you'd have to really be up for that to get it. But it does what it promises. Then i also have Metro 2033 and Fallout New Vegas that arrived in the mail this week... i might get to them by next week... though I do work commitments that i'd like to meet first.
