Last week we took a look back at the year that was and listed our favorite games. This week we turn to the year ahead and the games that have us sitting on pins and needles in anticipation. Each staff member will have his (or her!) day and we move on to Som for today's installment. See what's got Som all of a dither and then leave your thoughts in the comments.

Originally posted by Wicoa I'll give them credit that at least one game in there is a sandbox. But, that is a good question. Is any writer here predominantly a sandbox gamer? |

Almost a perfect match to my list, just drop Darkfall and put Wildstar instead :)

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. |

To be fair, I'm ALSO really looking forward to Origins of Malu, but it didn't make my top 5. So if we stretch to 6... that's three and three. And I could go on for ages. I'm of the mind that an MMO gamer needn't be one or the other (sandbox or themepark). In fact, it behooves everyone to try everything. But that's just me. |

Playing Darkfall and Lotro is still my plan for 2013 but will keep an eye on this site to see if Neverwinter and ESO can walk the talk.
Playing: Lotro, DFUW |

I just realised my comment sounded sarcastic in the wrong light I was moon lighting on what bill said in his first comment ;).

The games I'm looking forward to this year are Wildstar and FF 14 A Realm Reborn. I'm iffy about both, but for different reasons. Wildstar looks great, and looks to be a lot of fun. But its publisher is NCsoft... Who has a past track record of closing five or six western games. Since these games tend to be quite an investment time wise, that makes me a bit concerned. Especially after their antics with Tabula Rasa (which ended up costing them $32 million, when they lost the law suit with Richard Garret) and the recent closing of City of Heros. http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/ FF14 also looks like fun, and I'm looking forward to what Yoshi P has managed to do. The qestion is, will enough people give the game a second chance, for it to become a success? I hope so, as it does look like fun. But only time will tell. |

Isn't anyone interested in Repopulation? It will be sandbox, skill based, much like the original SWG. Beta to begin this Spring.

The repopulation for me..
I was looking forward to DF:UW.. but i have now changed my mind, still i have paid up for the first month when it eventually gets released so who knows AV might be able to turn things around LOL..

Firefall - looks great, I think I could get into it, ..... This founders pack though, does anyone feel like it will have to great of an impact for people that are on the fence about investing in Firefall ? I sort of feel like it does and when I think about playing it, its right there in the back of my mind.
