Man, this list is so lame! For me anyways. No Spore Galactic Adventures? No Ghostbusters? Come on, those two games should be on the top of everybody’s wish list! But all is not lost, they do have The Sims 3 as one of their “Hottest Games of Summer 2009“.
Honestly, Matt, I never really got The Sims. The original game had me cleaning up after dopey digital dolls all day. Go to the bathroom. Wash your hands. Cook. Eat. Sleep. This is fun? It was wrangling hyperactive hamsters. The second game added more personality and better graphics, but there I felt like I was directing a really needy, whiny kid. That said, I saw The Sims 3 in action early on, and this is probably the first game in the series I’d seriously consider playing. Why? This sequel introduces crazy ideas: quest-like objectives, an open world that grows older with your characters, and actual story progression–a real plotted course for you to follow if you want. Crazy, I know. As a gamer, I miss that kind of stuff the most.
i agree Ghostbusters should be on everyone’s wish list! I’ve wanted a video game out of that movie sense i was a kid!
Ghostbusters video game is a dream come true for me, too.
