With not many good games released so far and after a little bit of a dry spell, I thought this post would make sense to ensure that people are aware of the upcoming games for the rest of the year.

There have only been a handful of great game releases so far, some of which include X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena but this is all about to pick up and the next few months are certainly something to get excited about as you will see below.

The first large release is the next game in the Guitar Hero series, Guitar Hero Metallica which is due for release in just a few days. Whether you are a metal fan, guitar hero fan or just a Metallica fan, you will want this game because it contains a great setlist whatever you are a fan of.

Another game to be aware of in the near future is Terminator Salvation which is being released the same day as the game above, Guitar Hero Metallica. This game follows the storyline of the upcoming Terminator film, Terminator Salvation. It’s difficult to say whether the game will be up to scratch because it’s a movie game and the quality of these can sometimes dip.

Now, heading into the beginning of June, you can look forward to seeing some of the following:

The Sims 3, although I am not at all a fan of these games, no doubt this one will be massively popular and you can expect everything you love from the original games, aswell as a whole bundle of new features to discover.

The next game is Prototype, something slightly different with this one but hopefully it will be well made a fun to play. It would have been nice to get a demo of this game priar to release, however, this close to release date I don’t think we’ll be seeing one.

Every Batman fan will want to get this game, Batman Arkham Asylum. The new Batman Arkham Asylum game looks like it’s going to be good, just aslong as we aren’t let down by the quality. There is some worries about the release date though because it was planned for June however there was some news that it was going to be delayed.

Planned to be released on the same day as Batman is yet another movie based game, Ghostbusters. This is another game with some confusion behind it because there was some new recently that Sony had payed for exclusive rights for a period of time, but we’ll have to see how it pans out.

Now into July we will see the release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince game which will be similar to the Terminator game as in the quality will be unknown because it’s a movie game. I’m pretty sure though that the majority of Potter fans will want to get hold of this game whether it’s good or not.

Now we get to the games that are set for release during the months later in the year and on the run up to Christmas. These include Dirt 2, the sequel to the amazingly popular Dirt game which brought rally racing games to life. Other games include Max Payne 3, another addition to the Rock Band series, The Beatles: Rock Band which also come with a range of brand new instruments. Other additions to the game calendar include Need for Speed Shift, Bioshock 2, Bad Company 2 and finally the much anticipated, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

There is certainly a huge amount of look forward to on the run up to Christmas and I’m sure that there will be a few more that pop up onto the radar in the next few months, most likely a few Guitar Hero games considering about 5 are planned for the rest of the year.
