Really looking forward to Bioshock: Infinite (and I'm so glad they decided to include reversible box art) and The Last of Us. I think those are going to be my two launch day purchases for the year.

I have no business buying new games with all of these old games piling up.  But I have been tempted to pre-order Infinite.  I don't think it's going to happen, though. 

I'm relatively confident I'm in for a new console one way or another this fall.  I probably have enough current gen stuff to last for 2 years, so every title I buy now probably just means 1 more on the shelf that I never actually play.  :(

And I'd still really like to play Borderlands 2 and Far Cry 3 eventually.

I'm thinking about catching up on the God of War series while I wait for Bioshock. I have still never beaten God of War 2, and have yet to play 3, but I have them all, including the origins collection.

I've been waiting for them to announce BL2:GOTY, but so far no dice.  They just announced a disc of DLC, but not all of it which means there's probably another disc of DLC coming before the GOTY edition.

I picked up the 5 game God of War series on Black Friday and have played through 1 and 2.  Pretty decent games except for the endings... The difficulty really ramps up at the end, which overall I'd say is more frustrating than anything else.  I had to go straight into 3 once I finished 2, but it's a little bit of a generational shock.  I was so used to the PS2 stylings of 1 & 2, that 3 was a little off-putting.  COO and GOS will probably feel more like the PS2 games, and I think that's a good thing.

Dead Island seems to have worn on too long in its tooth.  My co-op friend and I have both expressed interest in just putting it down unfinished.  We got out to the Jungle, which seemed to breath a little more life into it, but I'm not sure it will last.  It says we're about 80% done, so I think we'll slog through to the end from this point.  Hopefully we're glad we did by the end.

I'm a little more than half-through Red Dead... and I think I'm going to shelve it for a little bit.  I just finished Mexico, and am a little tired of riding shotgun every mission.  I think if I take a small break, it'll be more enjoyable to come back to.

Next... probably AC: Revelations.  They're about to announce AC4, so I guess I better start catching up.  :)
