ohhh so need Lego Batman 2, Spec Ops the Line looks great for its story (reimaging of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness) and I do really want to play Lollipop Chainsaw!!
They might have struck gold with the spiderman game. Remember how awesome spiderman 2 was last generation? All they need is an HD remake of that and i will throw money at them.
The Game of Thrones game looks shocking but I kinda want to play it too see how babe it is. want to give Batman and spiderman a try I loved the Spiderman 2 game so as Josh said i’d be happy with a HD remake.
Game of Thrones is pretty much a middle-field RPG… I wrote a review of it for Plughead.net the other day, but I might write one for here too (if I have a moment). http://www.plughead.net/review-game-thrones
