Batman
Halo Anniversary
Assassin's Creed Revelations (actually my favorite running series right now)
Elder Scrolls Skyrim
Zelda
Uncharted 3
the Metal Gear Solid HD collection on the 360

I'll eventually get to Call of Duty and Battlefield after I finish up all the games I really want to play, but I don't play those for multiplayer anyway.

Bioshock Infinite won't be until the spring at earliest I believe. Can't wait for it, but I LOVED the original Bioshock.

So, Washington DC maybe? Either that or money is a more important part of the game.

- Or maybe it's just a cool graphic they liked.

i can definitely see a corrupt washington (or similar fictional city) as being a great location for the next entry

It would be kinda boring with no highrises...plus, I doubt they have the balls to put it in DC. It would probably be banned.

My bet is on Vegas...money with a V.

thats true, as far as buildings/landscapes. it doesn't necessarily have to be exactly like DC though. technically none of the cities are exact duplicates of real places (liberty city, san andreas, vice city, etc).

a vegas like city does seem like a very logical place as well.

Yeah, the only problem is a Vegas type city can get boring quick...if they pull another San Andreas with 3 cities, it might not be as bad. I dunno.

fwiw - batman: arkham city is awesome. i love it. its like the first, but bigger. a great mix of "old stuff" from the first, but plenty of "new stuff" too. and the combat is amazing again. lots of easter eggs. lots of things to distract you from the main storyline. very fun.

I still haven't played the first one...maybe I should pick up both. With BF3, Skyrim, and Diablo III, I should be set for awhile.
