Bioshock: Infinite hands down. Been waiting too long for that one. GTA5 too, but that's going to be console only this year, so I'll have to wait for 2014 or 2015 even for R* to release it for the PC.

So sick of the same old Pokemon games and sick of them being on the Gameboy or whatever Nintendo calls it these days. At the very least release them on a relevant platform like Android and IOS, I'm never going to buy a Gameboy. Though really they should just sell it off to the West so someone makes a fully 3D MMO with it, any one who cares about Pokemon wants one. It's not like the west could make the franchise any worse, they keep making shit new Pokemon and releasing the same rehashed game over and over.

@Tixylixx Keep it where it is. I love the formula, why break something if it aint broken?
