This is where I will post info on the upcoming games that I am excited for. When they DO release, I might do a review on them.

 At long last, Nintendo released pictures, videos, and a title for the Wii version of Animal Crossing at E3 this year! I have been a long-time fan of this series, and cannot WAIT to get my hands on this version in November!

It looks very similar to it's predecessors, which is a good thing. From what i've seen, fans of the series will NOT be disappointed. The biggest announcement is a new peripheral that will be launched with the game called "Wii Speak."

 

It is not a headset, but rather a community microphone that rests atop your tv, and allows you and everyone else in the room to communicate with friends around the world.

Here are some videos. Enjoy.

**UPDATE: PRE-ORDERED SPORE GALACTIC EDITION!**

Oh MAN! I cannot wait for this game to release! I've been watching it ever since it's announcement I don't even know how long ago. It's the game that I've (in a way) been dreaming of since I was a little kid.

I had always wanted a game that let you create any creature imaginable. The closest I ever came to that was "Amazing Island," which was fun, but didn't meet my expectations. The editor was fair, but when you finished making your creature, it's stats made little to no difference in the games. It felt like Mario Party, but with a creature editor replacing the board. Just minigames.

In Spore, created by Maxis (who did the Sim series), you have ABSOLUTE control over what you create (although you have to unlock more advanced pieces). You create anything you can imagine, and what you create actually behaves differently based on what you do with it. Check out the embedded videos below!
