Top 20 Most Anticipated Games Of 2012: #10/#9

#10: KINECT STAR WARS- Microsoft's Xbox 360 Kinect peripheral really hasn't had a good time of it in 2011, recieving just sequels to Kinect Sports and Dance Central and a mere handful of rubbish movie tie-in games. However, 2012 looks set to change the camera's fortunes, and no title looks more ready to do this than Kinect Star Wars. After a lukewarm reception at E3 earlier this year, developer LucasArts went back to the drawing board on the project but from what we've seen things look to have improved for the better for the product, and seriously, who doesn't want to do some dancing in Jabba's palace? Yep, that really is a mode, yet above all LucasArts' dedication to replicating the wide universe of Wars in so many areas should easily guarantee that this becomes one of Kinect's finest showcases next Spring!
#9: SYNDICATE- I've not been an avid fan of first person shooters recently, but games like Bulletstorm and Crysis 2 released earlier in 2011 did give me some hope that the genre can redeem itself by looking to new franchises to lead the way rather than rely on the CODs and Battlefields of this day and age. Enter Syndicate, a thrilling new science-fiction reboot of a 1990s side-scroller which allows players to control their enemies' minds as they fight to rid a cybernetic city of an evil menace before it's too late. There's a chance things might go awry- what matters is that Starbreeze Studios give it their all so they can start helming an exciting new wave of shooters to change things for FPS developers.
