games to play 2011!
 
Ok, so following the last thread about games to play 2010, I thought we could do one about the games we want to play 2011 (thanks Harald) and check it back at the end of the year.

So here's my list for now:

Black Mirror 3
Gray Matter
Tales of Monkey Island (never got around playing it yet)
Lure of the temptress (got to finish this game sometime :))
Alternativa
15 days (At least gonna try it)
Mata Hari

Edna & Harvey and Book of Unwritten Tales

And whomever can come up with some Myst-like game

Basicaly, i'll play any game that has solid, well thought, balanced and creative puzzles. The thing that genre lacks most lately are - puzzles.

Darkstar - currently playing and loving it. Great to see a different kind of adventure game return: FMV, 1st-person, Sci-Fi, strong story with lots of exploring and problemsolving but no dialogues that go on forever.
Gray Matter - I will definitely finish it, even if the story doesn't grab me (yet).
Bracken Tor and The Last Crown - really looking forward these two!
Sam&Max Season 3 - already installed, but not on my priority list.
Edna and Harvey: The Breakout - played it in German in 2008, am very interested to see how the English version turned out.
The German games Harvey's neue Augen and Deponia - Daedalic still rules, in spite of the bugs in their A New Beginning, which will hopefully be fixed in the English release.
The DS games Hotel Dusk and Time Hollow - were on my to-play list for 2010.
Also on my list are the oldies Nightlong, Heart of China, and Deathgate.
Maybe Back to the Future as well, don't know yet.

Those above are games I already own. What I plan to buy and play this year:

pointandcliklover 01-03-2011 05:22 AM

i won't mention that this was my idea, oh wait i did lol only kidding

Its been quite interesting some of the remarks that people have pointed out like change in proiorties.

i pesonally found myself buying games that people would say, i remember when i was young .... the screen looked like this but i dont know the name of the game ....

i would play them and i have enjoyed them more in some cases then games i've been wanting to play. i enjyed hotel more then simon 5 for example and after 4 i had high hopes for that.

but i'm mumbling now

this year ....... Hopefully

another code R - i really really want to play this now.

grey matter - i think thats most of the forum now lol

sam and max season 1 2 3

professor layton 3 - finish it

tales of monkey island

el ammo - downloaded that as someone mentioned it on here

syberia 1 2

secret files 1

theres prob more but i cannot think at mo.

Astharis 01-03-2011 05:51 AM

For me it's the entirety of the Monkey Island series... Unfortunately, its priority consistently falls below newer & shinier (ie. console) games.

Isak 01-03-2011 07:45 AM

I promised to play 15 days this year, so I gave it a go last night.
That was the first and last time I played it. The locations were dead boring, no life, no interaction, no animations. And whats up with the story? You just get dragged into it, almost no info on who you are and what you are doing and why you are doing it.
It felt, with one word: unfinished.

marcd2011 01-03-2011 07:51 AM

I will definitely pick up Black Mirror III because i really want to see what happens next in that story! I also got the free pre-order of BTTF chapter 1 so i'll play that in Feb when it's available. I'll probably give the Lost Crown sequel a go because although i never finished the first game (reinstalled windows half way through playing it and never reinstalled the game) i did enjoy what i played of it even if the voice acting was awful.

I will probably play Syberia 1 and 2 because i bought them years ago and never played them and recently got them out and put them in plain view so i don't forget about them again!

Currently in the midst of playing The Longest Journey but don't know if i'll finish it or not, it seems to be a bit boring at the moment, and perhaps i'll finally finish Amnesia..

DustyShinigami 01-05-2011 11:02 AM

Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror - Remastered (PC)
Whatever else Revolution release this year on PC (BS5, BASS2, other etc.)
Gray Matter (Xbox 360)
Back to the Future - The Game
Jurassic Park - The Game
Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse (still need to finish)

That's it. For now. Unless something else comes out that catches my eye.

Jelena 01-05-2011 11:24 AM

I don't have much time to play any more, so the list isn't long:

Bracken Tor is a must play.
The Last Crown is also a game I'll definitely get.
Gray Matter - of course.

Then I think I'll get Darkstar. It looks interesting.

adventor 01-05-2011 12:50 PM

So Blonde - I need to finish this... not sure if I should... I bought it because of the AdventureGamers review

Lost Horizon - I'm actively playing this and will likely finish in the coming weeks

Edna and Harvey - I've had my eye on this since May 2008. Hopefully I can get my hands on an english version copy on Jan 14th.

Book of Unwritten Tales - If an English version comes out I'll probably be playing it.

The Next BIG Thing - This one is more of a maybe once I see what it will be like.

I'll also be playing (well watching really) the Back to the Future Episodes as they come out.

Hopefully I'll find a good First Person adventure too.

Fantasysci5 01-05-2011 04:37 PM

I usually go back and play through older games that I haven't played yet, but as for new games, I'll definitely be playing "Braken Tor" and "The Last Crown".

Weare6 01-12-2011 03:12 PM

mmmm lets see...

Lost Horizon
Back to the Future
Barrow Hill
Braken Tor
Amnesia
