The Most Anticipated Games of 2009

Both AtomicGamer and Big Download have put together new features that spotlight some of the bigger releases expected to hit store shelves during 2009. AtomicGamer’s list includes both Deus Ex 3 and Diablo III:

Not much is known about Eidos’ third game in the beloved PC series, but what we do know is that the loss of several of the series’ creators, most notably Warren Spector, isn’t as big a deal as it might be with other revivals. Spector helmed the development of the disappointing second game, Deus Ex: Invisible War, and was one of the earlier examples of how simultaneous console and PC development, when done wrong, can almost completely kill a game’s fun (and sales) for all platforms involved. I think many gamers are happy with a fresh take on the series, one that learns from past DX mistakes and introduces good stuff learned about RPG/action titles in the last decade.

While Big Download’s list includes BioShock 2, Demigod, and Dragon Age: Origins:

BioWare is finally giving PC gamers its full and undivided attention again with this original fantasy RPG. The game already looks great and BioWare’s previous reputation on titles like Baldur’s Gate, KOTOR, and Mass Effect give us a lot of confidence that the long wait for this title will be worth it when it comes out (hopefully this March).
