lathanyThese aren't New Year resolutions, but the games and things I'm looking forward to (or hoping will be good) in 2016.
Computer games
Books
Most of the authors I read I'm either a way back in the series (so have plenty more to come already) or there's nothing I'm particularly waiting for. The one exception is Black Widow, the new Jack Parlabane book from Brookmyre. I haven't been a huge Parlabane fan, but I really liked the last book and it hinted that the Parlabane stuff was about to get more interesting. This is available for pre-order already and expected on 28th of this month, so I'm pretty confident it will be out.
TV
I'm not sure whether I should be putting Heroes Reborn in here, because I'm not convinced it's going to be that good (I've read reviews as it's showing in the States already). However, when it releases on DVD in the UK (which I expect later this year), I suspect I will be buying it. (Twin Peaks is now delayed to 2017 or would be in this section.)
Computer games
- Blackenrock - This is the second installment of the Lost Crown adventure horror game tetralogy/quadrilogy (which was previously a trilogy until this game was inserted as the second one). The creator, Boakes, said on 1 December it would come out December/January, so is hopefully imminent. I loved the first game (The Lost Crown) and liked the halloween game (Midnight Horror) so have high hopes for this.
- Dreamfall Chapters part five - I've actually not played through much more than the first part of this as I knew it wasn't all out yet. However, part five is the final section and is supposed to bring this series of games to a close (previous games were The Longest Journey in 2000 and Dreamfall in 2006), so I'm keen to see it.
- Syberia III - I've liked the Syberia point-and-click adventure series for its story and mammoths, although often found the puzzles too hard. So, yes, another one I want to see.
- Pathologic reboot - Really looking forward to this - a Russian game not like anything else I've seen. However, it will either be late in the year or slide into 2017.
- The Last Crown - The third of the Crown series is scheduled for late this year. However, Boakes does tend to be optimistic with his deadlines, so again this may be 2017.
