God of War: Ascension |
9. God of War: Ascension:: When a series runs as dry as God of War has, it makes sense to go back to the start. In Ascension, players will get a look at a more human Kratos, before he became the rage-filled cartoon character of later episodes. Plus, in a first for the series, there will be a multiplayer mode. :: Out March 12 :: For PlayStation 3
10. Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm:: Strategy fans waited a dozen years for a sequel to Starcraft, but the follow-up to 2010's Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty is nearly here. Heart of the Swarm features new units and buildings, and, if the name is any indication, Zerg Rushes aplenty. :: Out March 12 :: For PC and Mac

When Andrew Ryan said this to your player in BioShock , it was part of a plot twist of surprising power — about halfway through the game, you realized you'd been taking orders from your antagonist.

- Review: Singularity
If you haven't played any shooters for the past few years, Singularity will blow your mind. If you have, you probably won't be impressed — "formulaic" doesn't begin to cover it. Still, in spite of copycatting its competitors, Singularity has its charms.

It's the curse of the sequel. Crackdown 2 isn't a radical departure from its predecessor. But it feels like a letdown.
