With 2010 about to kick off, the G4tv.com and X-Play teams took a look at the games set to release (or are likely to) in the next year. What follows is a list of the top 5 most anticipated games for each editor. How will it compare to your personal list? Which games will live up to the hype? Which games are you looking forward to? Leave your list in the comments section.
Andrew Pfister -- Senior Games Editor
Super Mario Galaxy 2
We haven’t had a sequel to a proper Mario game come out on the same system since the NES days, and when we did, we got the great Super Mario Bros. 2 and the life-altering Super Mario Bros. 3. That’s why I’m excited for Mario Galaxy 2: the core concept has already been proven, and now the developers are free to dream up more spherical worlds and twists on classic Mario elements. If you couldn’t tell, Mario games are my happy place.
Red Dead Redemption
I’ve long wanted an MMO set in the American frontier, but until that happens, I’ll happily play in Red Dead Redemption’s offline sandbox. Rockstar San Diego is injecting a healthy dose of GTA into RDR, which hopefully means plenty of interesting characters, creative side missions, and exploration. I’ll be rewatching Deadwood in anticipation of its release, cursing furiously.
Metroid: Other M
Super Metroid is the greatest game ever made. This is an undisputable fact. And while the Metroid Prime series was very well done and kept the Metroid spirit alive over the past two generations, the combination of Team Ninja and original Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto working on Other M has me expecting an incredible mix of old and new Metroid. Do not disappoint me, people of Japan.
The Last Guardian
Team Ico’s games are equally simple and grand, quiet and epic. The Last Guardian seems to be no exception. As a dog person, the trailer strikes a personal chord...even though I have a bad feeling that something depressing is going to happen to the “Last” Guardian in the end. I also find myself with the sudden urge to watch The Iron Giant again.
Halo: Reach
I love me some backstory. Maybe even more than what comes next, I always want to know what came before...which is why I’m looking forward to Reach so much. All we have to work with at the moment is an epic battle for a planet, loads of Spartans running around doing their Spartan thing, and a guaranteed unfortunate outcome. That’s good enough for me. (For now.)
Jake Gaskill -- Feed Writer
Red Dead Redemption
I’ve been saying Rockstar should make GTA: Old West since GTA III, and to finally see it come to fruition in such stunning fashion has me wishing I could make tomorrow April 27 already. (If I pull it off, you’re welcome!)
The Last Guardian
There’s a giant bird/hyena creature that helps a boy on an epic adventure in a vast and richly crafted world, and it’s developed by the team behind ICO and Shadow of the Colossus; do I really need to justify this pick? ...That’s what I thought.
BioShock 2
For all its horrors and living nightmares, Andrew Ryan’s Rapture is a place I want to live in as much and for as long as possible. From what I’ve seen of the game so far, it’s shaping up to be everything the original was and perhaps a bit more. Plus, it has one of the smartest approaches to multiplayer in recent memory. Would you kindl...Let me just stop you right there, and say, yep; I will eagerly await your arrival.
Mafia II
I loved the first Mafia, and sunk countless hours simply hanging out in Lost Heaven, because I’m a huge sucker for 1950’s-era gangster tales, and the world was so beautifully conceived that I just didn’t want to leave it. The sequel looks to take the series to impressive new heights, and I can’t wait to take the ride.
Heavy Rain
While the idea of Quantic Dream’s thriller being more of an actor simulator than a game concerns me, this will definitely be one of those experiences that will divide a lot of people, and generate quite a lot of interesting discussions about the medium and its artistic potential. Oh, and it will let me apply eyeliner to make myself sexier...virtually speaking, of course.
JP Shub -- Supervising Producer, X-Play
Rock Band Network
What better way to discover new music than to jam it out on your plastic guitar? Seriously, I am really interested to see what impact this has on breaking new artists and can’t wait to upload my own band’s tracks on the network.
Mass Effect 2
The first game blew me away and I expect nothing less than sci-fi satisfaction from this follow up.
God of War 3
Who isn’t excited for this?
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid 4 was one of my all time favorite gaming experiences and I am excited to hop back into Kojima’s latest off the wall warzone.
Final Fantasy XIII
As a longtime fan of the franchise I am anxious to see how they have evolved it. Hopefully the power of the current consoles will go to more than just pretty cut-scenes!

This list is up there with mine, i don't really think much of the red dead rendition and its probably because I'm not from the generation of cowboys and Indians on the run from each with trying to kill the other party's democracy, but what i am excited for last guardian and mass effect 2. mass effect 2 is so wildly adventures and has so many levels perception integrated into the reality of the whole situation, and the fact that i flipped someone off in the first game will affect the next is so invigorating because of how the large your options where and how they affected others in different ways makes me feel like i was jack Shepard trying to save the universe from the evil bad guys. The other last guardian will keep me awake late at night exploring the worlds for special hidden surprises and Easter eggs.

Nice but my list is: bioshock 2, red steel 2, dead space 2 (lol), metroid: other m, halo: reach and maybe fallout new vegas and gears of war 3.

Power Rangers?, I mean Halo? Do we really need another slow-motion shooter? Where is Battlefield Bad Company 2? BY far the best game coming out this year. Other than GOD OF WAR 3.

I cant wait for FF13, hope im not dissapointed, i own all exept 10-2 and 11, gay. halo reach is up on my list to, but mostly for the hopefully awsome multiplayer, or my wife will be pissed. havent done much research on the last gaurdian but looks pretty good
packnut
I'm supprised Alan Wake is not on this list! It is a new IP after all!
HarriS 185
the most anticipated games for me are Bioshock 2 and battlefield bad company 2

Oh man o man there are just way too many games to choose from thats coming out this year, to choose from that I want. Heck Im -STILL- trying to get most of the good games that came out towards the end of '09. With that said the only games Im looking forward to spending my hard earned 60 bucks of the year is. Mass Effect 2 which I didn't think I liked when the first one, and it blew my mind. I have very high hopes for this game, heck I bought Dragons Age just so I could get the Dragon armor. My ignorance of shooter rpg's have been cured because of this series, and now im addicted. Thank you very much Bioware.
My second choice, is no other than Final Fantasy 13. Im a big time fan of rpg games, and you get no bigger in rpg titles than a "Final Fantasy". FF7 took me to a place I never thought I could go. Sure there were some let downs for me after FF7, but FF10 re-inspired my faith in the series and Ive been wanting more ever since. (Except 11. No way I was buying into that). So please... FF13 don't disappoint, and be more than just the hype. Remind people why your the Rpg juggernaut that you are -crosses Fingers-
As for the other games Im looking forward to seeing their success and other gamers happy because of their product. Im fine with just my two titles above. Anything else will have to till the end of the year to next year, cuz I still havent played Gears 2 yet so they have to wait.

fpsdominator
Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Crysis 2 :D
GameFreak398
how come all three lists have some of the same picks over and over again? list 2 had epic mickey twice and the last gaurdian twice. all together some of these games are in all three lists 3 times or more
suzaman
FF XIII and God of War III top my list but lets not forget about
METROID OTHER M - it looks not to disapoint but then again I agree that Super Metroid holds a special place in mine and other old school gamers heart's
MOD NATION RACERS - FOR SOME REASON IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE THE SLEEPER HIT OF THE YEAR
BIOSHOCK 2 - It will own our lives till we beat it, this will be truth.
3D DOT GAME HEROES - another sleeper hit nominee. If no one has heard of it, go check it out.
and lastly
The Last Guardian and Heavy Rain - Its going to be a truly stellar year for gaming....hooray!!!

@ Oggrim:
You gotta remember, this is G4 we're talking about. These guys don't give a flip about PC games and drool over console crap daily. That's why I most of the time come to G4 to watch the MMO report.
NortheastMonk
I need a second job considering the list grows with more awesome games and Brink might be the fall. Castlevania too.

DONDE ESTA DEAD SPACE 2?!
No, I'm not hispanic, but where the freakin heck is Dead Space 2?! I can't wait to crap my pants again (figure of speech) playing this game.
R0cker95
My top five for '10
1. Bioshock 2
Never got the chance to play the first, but man am I psyched to check out the 2nd, already pre-ordered it.
2. Halo Reach
Uhhh..... hello?!
3. Mass Effect 2
Just finished playing throught the first, was great, but 2 looks like its fixed every complaint i had, now just which class to choose...
4. Final Fantasy XIII
Never was much of a FF fan, but this one looks to change all that.
5. Red Dead Redemption
Western games suck. This is fact. I putting $60 for RDR to change all that.
As for Gears 3 and Rock Band 3, just waiting for tha announcement to
pre-order.
