Upcoming games

Take a look at what the year ahead has in store for all RPG fans.

This generation has been harsh as far as Role Playing Games (RPGs) are concerned. Sure we've had some great games in Dragon Age: Origins, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect but barring a handful of titles, it's been slim pickings. However all of that is about to change this year with number of news games coming in.

Final Fantasy XIII — PS3, Xbox360, PC
The game sees you don the role of Lightning and taking on the might of the Cocoon Military in what seems to be the trippiest art-directed FF world yet.

Resonance of Fate — Xbox360, PS3
Packed with stellar gunplay, some interesting exploration options and a wealth of gun customisation, Resonance of Fate is one of the more interesting RPGs this year. Fable 3 (Xbox360)

With a rumoured November release and the ability to import your Fable 2 saves, Fable 3 takes the series a step forward. Not only do you liberate Albion (the staple location of the Fable series) but end up ruling it, giving the game a part hack-and-slash RPG and part-Civilization feel.

Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver — DS
Like the games before it, your character is that of a budding Pokemon trainer setting off on a quest to be the best. Other interesting games that will stay you hooked are: Alpha Protocol — PS3, X360, PC, Fallout: New Vegas — PS3, X360, PC, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm — PC, Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening — PS3, X360, PC, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep — PSP.
