My only sure purchases until the end of the year:
Under Defeat, Zero Escape, and ZOE collection are the only positive day one buys as I want to support the games(and/or publisher).

Dead or Alive 5
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Resident Evil 6
Under Defeat
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
Zone of the Enders Collection

Maybe:
Boderlands 2
Dishonored
Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion
Far Cry 3
Hitman: Absolution
Mugen Souls
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Sonic All-Stars Racing: Transformed

There are Vita and WiiU games that interest me but I doubt I'll get either of those systems this year.

I guess Paper Mario: Sticker Star (if it even comes out this year) and Dishonored. That's pretty much it. I need to stop buying games right now since I've already bought so many games I need to finish.

Dishonoured.

dare I say it but I have not been following Dishonored what makes it special

It's like Deus Ex crossed with Thief crossed with Steampunk. It looks pretty amazing.

isn't Deus Ex already Steampunk (and to a lesser extent thief)

also since this is bethesda will it have Mod Support?

Oh, you must be referring to enemies being turned into bullet sponges. I remember Far Cry rewarded care because running into the fray with guns blazing would kill you every time. So that's changed in Far Cry 3?

They cut out the weapon reliabilty system and the unique health system and the Map from Far Cry 2 among others (if you did not like then good for you but I liked it)

Deus Ex is Cyberpunk. Thief is kinda Steampunk, but mostly only in the second game. I recommend just looking up some info on it. I recall PCGamer had a lot of coverage.

I have Gameinformer magazines covering them but I have not bothered reading them to this day might aswell now

Guild Wars 2 - playing right now...

Dishonored - had the top spot since almost forever, now even that took a backseat.

XCOM, and it does seem to be the first AAA game in quite a long time that I am considering picking up at release.

That sounds like a new fangled mop. Sorry, i couldn't help myself 8) Personally, i gave up after Cataclysm. Although, whenever they add a new character class to the game, i consider that to be a good thing for the fans. I've read that they are adding alot of new features to the game as well.

Strangely enough, i really wasn't excited about any of the new games that were announced earlier this year at E3. I guess i'm just picky.

Edit: Oops, the X-com game by Firaxis looks very interesting.

None :3
