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 Suzie for our series' final installment. See what's got Suzie all of a dither and then leave your thoughts in the comments. I am sitting here looking at the list of likely games to be released in 2013 and tapping my fingers as I consider which ones I am most anxious to see firsthand. A quick glance reveals that there is the usual collection of “big name” titles and, of course, the smaller “indie” titles all clamoring for my attention with the year barely over a week old. What to choose? There are really very few on this year’s list that don’t interest me and it would be very easy to just say, “DITTO” to the lists compiled by my co-workers earlier in the week. Yet in the best interest of being the last one to offer an article around the games that I am personally most looking forward to playing, I’ve decided to veer onto the road less travelled with my list, centering particularly on more independent studios working on MOARPGs, my own term for Massive Online Action RPGs.

Honestly, I couldn't make a top 5 list this year. There are only 3 titles I have enough interest in to list: 1. Defiance ( despite a lack of interest by the general MMO player, this is #1 for me). 2. The Repopulation ( sandbox PvE with involved crafting? Yes, please.) 3. Wildstar ( the paths look like a unique idea and I dig the humor enough to overlook the less than exciting art style.)

Originally posted by ObiClownobi Still no vote for ArcheAge, I guess it won't get much airtime here. I think it's because there's probably very little chance that AA will come to the west in 2013. 2014 seems a lot more likely. As far as the list is concerned, I'll definitely agree with Neverwinter. Really looking forward to that game, along with a few others. Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.

"My one true concession to big name games is Cryptic’s Neverwinter." I'm not sure that I can call anything Cryptic does a "big name game" anymore after their last two launches. Neverwinter is a big IP of sorts but it still remains to be seen what Cryptic will do with it. Thankfully, the videos they've shown don't look too much like their cookie-cutter MMO engine they used for CO/STO.

But I'm betting it's not 2013 that we'll see it in the US. I do expect we'll know who's publishing it here soon, but I'd be amazed if the localization happened that fast.

I used a cheat in that list, and added it because I expect to hear some pretty awesome details about it in 2013. I even admitted to cheating on the list in the article. :P Also, it's the top "five" games I'm watching in 2013. ArcheAge isn't quite that high for me. Full 10, including games that won't be necessarily released today? 1.) EQNext (I'm just dying to know what it's going to be all about). 2.) Neverwinter 3.) Defiance 4.) Elder Scrolls Online 5.) Darkfall: UW 6.) Origins of Malu 7.) Firefall (finally releasing will be nice) 8.) Wildstar Online (would be higher if I knew more!) 9.) ArcheAge 10.) Titan (I expect this to be the year it's unveiled, but not sure it'll be worth the wait.) Hell, I could go on, but what's the point of just listing everything? That's why we kept it to five games for the year. My Review Manifesto Follow me on Twitter if you dare.

MMO's I am looking for: Neverwinter Elder Scrolls Online Titan* - - *= only because I don't know what it is and I'm curious. If your idea of a Sandbox is open FFA Full Loot PvP, full crafted world with minimal support for anything combat then your sandbox ideas are bad! Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

Those are my two most anticipated, and none of the columnists mentions either of them. Oh well. I guess neither are really "massively" multiplyer, just largely multiplayer.. that grey area.

Never thought that one of the editors would actually have City of Steam on the radar. It's the first game, after many years, which made me say "oh, these guys know what they're doing". Can't wait for open beta. As for Path of Exile, i've been beta-ing it for a long time now, i feel that it lacks the complexity it could have. It creates the sensation of a "true" Diablo sequel but actually there is not much choice involved considering the skill tree, the heart of the game. It's either you make the right choice or you don't.

I've heard a couple game-hindering implementations so far, but nothing game-breaking. ------------------------------ MMORPGs are great to look forward to after a hard day of work, but heaven is the ultimate reward for those who live Christ-like.
