While we live for looking forward to what new games come out each year, we dread the overwhelming process of picking only a select few to rank as our most anticipated Diablo IV Gold. Starting with a list of over 80 games releasing in 2012, the Game Rant editorial staff has narrowed down and ranked what games appeal to us the most at the beginning of the year.
From shooters and Fantasy RPGs to MMOs and action adventures, there's a wide variety of titles that have caught our eye. Some titles that we're looking forward to do not have a publisher or a 2012 release date and may be noticeably absent - these get a special mention at the end if they're something we're highly anticipating. So without further ado, continue on for our 25 Most Anticipated Video Games of 2012.
GAMERANT VIDEO OF THE DAY 25. Aliens: Colonial Marines
Release Date: Spring 2012 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Developer: Gearbox Software
Publisher: Sega
Perhaps it's the idea of 4-player co-op or maybe, it's that the the story of Aliens: Colonial Marines ties into franchise canon, taking place between Aliens and Alien 3. There's something about this long-in-development, squad-based shooter and its first-person horror style (and having Lance Henriksen return again to voice one of the characters) that grabs our attention. The timing couldn't be better with Ridley Scott returning to the franchise to release Prometheus later this year as well, a film which partly acts as a prequel to the series.
24. Far Cry 3
Release Date: TBA 2012 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft
Nothing gets us more excited for a shooter than a range of combat options, so Far Cry 3's variety of alternate approaches to gameplay is welcome news. The previous game was a promising one, so hopefully the developers keep their word of avoiding past mistakes and deliver a tropical masterpiece buy Diablo 4 Gold.
