  1. my pick would be the G29 Driving Force- wheel I love race games and this looks like a winner for steering.

  2. I would like the PS5, in order to play Jedi: Survivor! This game came out in April of 2023 exclusively for PS5 (as many of the most amazing future games probably will) and I’ve been hankering for a PS5 ever since. Fingers crossed that I win this contest. ;D

  3. I would like to try Meta Quest 3. I have never tried virtual reality and I think it would be fun to play a high action game on it.

  4. I’m excited about the Xbox Series X the most. With all the amazing studios that Microsoft bought, I can’t wait to see what exclusives they bring out next. I’ve been looking at Starfield for a while because sci-fi games are one for my favorite. Like an Elder Scrolls game but with spaceships.

  5. I have really been wanting to play god of war ragnarok. The PS5 looks aamazing and I have been really wanting one for a long time. Honestly any of these systems would be a dream because I would play any of these games, there are so many to choose from.

  6. Excited for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Nintendo With because I enjoyed the original game when I was a kid

  7. I’m most excited to play ‘Rise of the Ronin’ because I love Japanese computer graphics and I’ve heard that the landscapes and scenarios are epic.

  8. Silent Hill 2 and Cod black ops 6 im looking forward too need a new fresh FPS shooter and then some scares with Silent Hill how can you now go wrong good luck everyone.

  10. I am excited for Elden Ring. I haven’t tried this game before but my friends are raving about it.

  11. Right now the game I’m most looking forward to is the new Astro Bot game, the first was such a celebration of playstation and the new one seems to adding on to that even more.

  12. I am most excited to try Paper Mario, because I appreciate a game with a decent story line and I like how the game looks.

  13. I would love to mow down the tyranids in Warhammer Space Marine 2. FOR THE EMPEROR!! FOR ULTRAMAR!!

  14. Super excited for the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Edition. It looks like the best DLC in gaming for quite some time!

  15. Star Wars Outlaws looks pretty exciting and it will be nice to actually fly to and land on planets without loading screens like in Starfield.

  16. I can’t wait for College Football 25 to come out. It’s been over a decade since EA made this game. It’s going to be awesome.

  17. I’m thrilled to try Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It’s been ages since I last played a Mario game, and diving into this one should be a lot of fun. I’m also eager to experience the Meta Quest 3, as it looks highly engaging and enjoyable.
