5) Prey 2
When Prey debuted on the 360 and PC in 2006 it was met with good if not glowing critical success and it certainly sold a lot, but its questionable how many people would have expected a sequel. When Prey 2 was announced, it was something oh what, really? moment until shown footage surfaced and looked good. Really good. Then a few months ago, Prey 2 reentered the public conscious when it was rumored that it had been cancelled rather unexpectedly due to budget overruns and it generally being a bit rubbish. That was cleared up within a few days when Bethesda released a rather damning statement in which they said the game does not currently meet our quality standards. Yeesh, burned! Nonetheless they have also established their commitment to the project, claiming unwilling to compromise our quality standards to meet a release schedule. An admirable concept EA has perhaps not integrated with just yet. What we do know is that Prey 2 looks to be a lot more open-world and dialogue focused than its predecessor, and that we wont be playing it in 2012. Boo.
