Dammit, we want you to tell us stuff! Stuff like the games you’re most looking forward to in the second half of the year.
This isn’t some marketing survey or whatever. It’s an emotional investment in you. Yes, we’re interesting in knowing you, Kotaku reader person. You probably know fucktons about us — more than you even want to, we’re sure. But, hey, we’d like to know about you, too.
Anyway, here’s today’s question…
Question: If you could only play ONE game being released between now and the end of the year, what would it be, and why?
Sweating Bullets
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 8:38 AMModern Warfare 2
Destined to be a classic
SCU
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 9:41 PMMaybe. Maybe not.
Its not out yet and your going off nothing except a reliable conciderably good motion of the delevopers good sound history.
Its gonna me awesome but it doesn’t need anymore hype.

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 8:39 AMScribblenauts! Runner-up: Darkside Chronicles. And is it too much to hope that Spirit Tracks will be out before the end of the year too?

Cause Mass Effect 2 isn’t out till next year :(
Aaron Clement
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 8:46 AMDefinitely Scribblenauts for the novelty value, followed closely by Starcraft 2 (It will hit this year damnit.. it has to!).

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 8:54 AMI’ll say Mordern Warfare 2 simply because its got multiplayer which gives it the lasting power to survive such a long period of time without me playing anything else.

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 9:05 AMYou have to ask the hard questions dont ya david?
UMMM!! I would have to say…. Unchar…No Modern Warf… No Assassins Cre… No M.A.G: Shadow Wa….. NO! Umm.
I guess Modern Warfare because it will aditct me to its awsome Multiplayer that we know nothing about at this point besides it WILL be awsome.

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 9:08 AMRock Band: Beatles
Indefinite Implosion
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 12:34 PMYeah, I second The Beatles Rock Band.
or Modern Warfare 2
or Assassins Creed 2
or Bioshock 2
or PS3 versions of Fallout 3 DLC
or Battlefield 1943
or Uncharted 2
THERE’S TOO MUCH CHOICE!
(and most of them are sequels… hmm, interesting…)

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 9:32 AMTales of vesperia – I’ve been awaiting it’s pal release for close to a year now and I finally have it and it’s pretty much the best thing since sliced bread (and we all know what a glorious thing sliced bread truly is) it’s story is engaging and addictive, as is the battle system. The presentation is well…. Fucking fantastic leaving me with some resedue on either side of my mouth each time I enter a new city. If you share the same love for anime and jrpgs do notmiss this title :D

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 5:49 PMI was going to say that too but, *starts dancing and singing* It’s out, it’s out, it’s out, it’s out!
*coughs* sorry.
To actually answer the question… Scribblenauts. It just looks like a helluva lotta fun and, being as I’m going on away shortly, it would be absolutely brilliant to take something like that with me. :)

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 9:48 AMIf The Last Guardian gets out before the end of the year then all bets are off. Otherwise I’ll be buying a DS for Scribblenauts

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 9:51 AMso tough. second half of 2009 looks amazing.
i’m going to have to go with assassin’s creed 2.

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 10:14 AMDragon Age: Origins.
I fully expect to be horribly let down by it, but I must try it, just to see if it is everything that it originally claimed to be, and not everything that it’s been recently advertised to be. If it’s the former, then there’s a good chance that it will be the only game I play the rest of the year…
Matfei
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 10:25 AMAssassin’s Creed 2.
Slyph
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 10:40 AMHmmm… probably Bioshock 2. Which is saying something, ’cause the rest of the year is looking ace :)
Darius
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 10:47 AMAssassins Creed 2 and Bioshock 2.
can I also say fallout 3?
Fallout 3
Duncan
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 10:54 AMBrutal Legend.
As long as the gameplay is there, its a no brainer.
truncheon
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 10:56 AMso Tales of Vesperiea gets the huge raps, might check it out, i am all about a kojima produced castlevania but that could be a 2011 title huh
url404
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 11:12 AMBrutal Legend for me. Don’t let me down Tim!

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 11:15 AMIt’d be a huge toss up between Tekken 6, Bayonetta, Assassin’s Creed 2, and Tales of Vesperia.
But if it came down to just one of those games, Tales would probably edge the competition out ^^;
UNICRON
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 11:21 AMImagine presents: Children’s cancer ward. Too soon?
Seriously, AC 2, Red dead redemption or The last Guardian. If i had to pick ONE as was the original question i’d pick Red Dead Redemption.

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 11:22 AMForza 3.
Because clearly, Gran Turismo 5 is never being released.
DarkMess1ah
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 11:42 AMDefinitely NeoTokyo mod for Half Life 2, looking very very good imo :)
FatShady
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 11:45 AMOperation Flashpoint 2 (Dragon Rising). Yes I know about the whole ArmA 2 thing but I just cant get past the realism of war and that game has been good to me. Loved the PC game some 10 years ago and am looking forward to getting back out there.
Oh, I feel a bout of swine flu coming on…
*Cough.. Forza 3, Bioshock 2, *cough* Asassins Creed 2, Ballad of Gay Tony, Just Cause 2 *Splutter* …
I’m better now!
Rendle Bosworth
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 11:48 AMBatman: Arkham Asylum
Battlefield 1943: Pacific
BioShock 2
Halo 3: ODST
Modern Warfare 2
Blur (Sounds O.K I guess. Who doesn’t like Mario KArt/ Mashed?)
Wait did you say one…
We should do this more often David, we never get to just… hang, you know?
