Oh sure Traveler, I'm still looking forward to Gray Matter. Just not holding my breath in eager anticipation of it or any other games on the horizon.

Cheers, Terry .

Well, I think we should start a thread at the HotSpot section.

Glad I met you. Sincerely yours.

You fight like a dairy farmer.  



Really? [smiley=boggled.gif]

Er...um...a dairy farmer? :-?

~~ Terry ~~ ... No Traveler, I'm just bracing for what appears to be an inevitable b-i-t-c-h of a new year rushing at us headlong like hellish hangover on an ice-cold day
.
I am also not looking forward to 2009 --- or to be more honest... I'm terrified.
But probably for different reasons from you --- but stuff for Off-Topic not here !

Nor am I looking forward to 2009 either. Sigh...

But whatever's coming at us will come at us no matter how I might feel about it, so I intend to try to make the best of things.

I'll also be escaping into games whenever possible. This is something I already do, in fact. I find gaming to be quite therapeutic.

While she's far from a favourite of mine, she beats April and Phoenix hands down (TLJ, Culpa Innata).

Wrong. Your answer should have been - How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

If you did not know that, you need to get some culture.

Same goes for you.


On topic:
There are no AGs I'm anticipating with extreme eagerness. But I guess my top three would be:

Gray Matter (Jane Jensen)
Still Life 2 (Original was quite well done, if a bit stayed)
Three Cards To Midnight (Tex Murphy; written by writers)

Some others: Heavy Rain, Alan Wake.

Hmmm...so I guess this means I fight like a cow and/or need some culture.

The latter. More specifically, play "The Secret of Monkey Island". Of course, you may also fight like a cow, but I wouldn't know about that.

after a very lukewarm year, my expectations are pretty low, and i'm not really looking forward to anything... well, non-adventure wise i am really looking forward to resident evil 5, but when it comes to adventures, maybe black mirror 2 and runaway 3, only because i loved their predecessors

I am not quite sure about the title to this thread. Is it the Top 3 games I think are going to be released in 2009 or the Top 3 games I am looking forward to 2009?

If it is the latter, then

#1. Rhem 4
#2. Grey Matter
#3 tie Prominence/Coven/Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting/DarkFall III


That all being said, Do I think any of these will be released in 2009....No!

1. The Whispered World
2. A Stroke of Fate
3. Memento Mori

It does appear that 2009 isn't set up to be the best year for adventure games  :-/ The ones I have chosen do appeal to me quite a lot though.

I remember hearing about a concept (something from Neil Gaiman?) involving a library filled with books that were never written. Sounds like you're trying for a store filled with games that were never made.
Good list, it's one I can get behind.

In the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman, Morpheus the Dream Lord has a library of every book ever dreamt of but never written, from The Bestselling Romantic Thriller I Used to Dream About on the Bus That Would Sell A Million Copies and Mean I'd Never Have to Work Again to classic authors's imagined works, such as Christopher Marlowe's The Merrie Comedie of the Redemption of Dr. Faustus, or The Emperor Over the Sea by C.S. Lewis. It's travel section contains such gems as My Year on the Dread Plateau of Leng and Ancient Kadath for 20 Dollars a Day. There is even an annex that contains every book actually written, although, of course, it is (relative to the rest of the library) quite small.

Of course the librarian's name in Lucien, it's where I got my username.

I'm going to assume by 'game' we of course mean adventure games, otherwise my list would change a little.

1 - Gray Matter (I wish I could tone down my hype, I don't want to be dissapointed...)
2 - Wallace & Gromitt Episodes
3 - Sam & Max Season 3 (*If* it is released in 2009 of course)

1. Still Life II..I really got into this one, mainly because the main character was likeable. The likeablity factor was similar to that of April Ryan, Kate Walker, and Phoenix Wallis...hopefully they will continue the previous story because Still Life I ended a little abruptly.

2. Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper....I'm actually surprised that I didn't see anyone excited for this one. They've been doing a very good job with the last few Sherlock Holmes games...I feel completely emmersed in the atmosphere....it doesn't help that sherlock holmes is one of my favorite literary characters.

3. Three Cards to Midnight...as an obsessive tex fan (in my opinion the tex murphy games were among the best ever made, and among the first i remember playing as a child), I have to support this game, especially if it's made by aaron conners and chris jones. If it's written by them, of course it's going to be good...and besides, they said if this game is popular and sells then they might think about making another tex.

Honorable mentions:
1. Grey Matter...since everyone else seems so excited about it (i never played the GK series)
2. Heavy Rain...I've been waiting since i played Indigo Prophecy for this to come out, yet it seems they made the inane decision to make it only for PS3
3. Heaven...it looks good...doesn't mean that it's going to be good.
4. Mozart....eh we'll see.
