I don't know about you, but this May is bringing a lot of things to the shelves that I've been wanting to play for some time, and, due to this article, a few things I didn't know about previously are also catching my interest.

So, let us begin:

Alan Wake (360):


Alan Wake. A title that has been anticipated for some time, that seemed to have disappeared after having heard nothing about it for so long. It came back and impressed the masses, and is to this day looking like a very interesting and enjoyable title. Deemed as a "psychological thriller", this game is different from Remedy's previous "Max Payne" series. It will definitely bring something to gaming that we have not seen in some time. Alan Wake will unleash hell May 18th, 2010.

3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3):



An odd-looking, but memory bringing and unique title. Published in North America, this game is sure to bring back memories for those that gamed in the Zelda days. With pixilated-HD graphics, this game will without a doubt bring back members of games that were around twenty-plus years ago. According to those that have had a go with the game, they say, in terms of game play, it seems like a modern-day version of "Zelda: Link to the Past". To veteran gamers, such a comparison means that the game will be undoubtedly good. This game is scheduled to be released May 11th.

Split Second (PS3, 360, PC):


One of the few praised racing titles these days, Split Second is said to bring some new elements to the racing genre, something we can't say happens very much. Split Second will be expanding what was originally introduced in Sega's Full Auto series, of which you will be racing through a city in the prime of destruction. Your key weapon in winning your race is this: the city. Split Second will be hitting store shelves on May 18th.

Red Dead Redemption (360, PS3):



Another of the Western-style games, this game is bringing something new. Rather than being set in the times when the "Age of the Cowboy" is at its prime, this game takes play in the early 1900's, when that age is coming to an end. The game will put heavy emphasis on gun fights, train robberies, and duels. Red Dead Redemption will bring the Wild West to life on your console May 18th.

Trauma Team (Wii):



Like many titles releasing this month, Trauma Team will be bringing something new to the Atlus series. No longer is performing surgeries all that is done, but the grand scheme of things is being expanded. You'll play the role of the first responder, of which you will conduct surgeries, and even perform some forensic science. This will bring the medical drama that you find so satisfying in shows such as "House", and even "CSI" to your gaming console. This will be releasing on May 18th.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii):



This game is a must-buy for various obvious reasons. This will be, in essence, taking everything you loved about the original Super Mario Galaxy, and amplifying it. Offering new power ups and suits for Mario to jump in and out of, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is sure to impress all gamers, whether hardcore or simply looking for a good time. Also, this game will present a bit more challenge than the first, so don't expect to "fly" through it like you may have done in the first. The Mario Universe will be brought to you on May 23rd.

UFC 2010 (360, PS3):



Bringing over 100 of the best UFC fighters to life, UFC 2010 is sure to please any UFC fan. Whether you want to be your favorite fighter, or your own through the various customization options, you can do it in UFC 2010. You will also be able to keep track of your progress via career mode. This will all become available May 25th.

Modnation Racers (PS3, PSP):



The beloved LittleBigPlanet presented a new aspect of gaming never before explored, adding a new level of customization to the Playstation 3 universe. With all of the newly opened doors, Modnation Racers will bring back that very same level of customization on the race track. You will now be able to customize your racers, rides, and you'll now even have the ability to create your own tracks. If you can imagine it, Modnation can likely portray it in one way or another. You will also have a career mode, stat tracker, and an online racing mode in this highly anticipated title. The fun begins May 25th.

Blur (360, PS3, PC):


Blur is dubbed to be the "ultimate racing experience". With nitro-boosting, energy-waves, defensive shields, Blur has a little bit of everything for anyone interested in the racing genre. While it might not blow your mind yet, people seem to think it may be the best racer of 2010.

Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake (PSP):



With the massive success of "Fat Princess" released on PS3 through the Playstation Store, there was bound to be another sooner or later. Due to the type of game it is, Fat Princess is a better fit for the PSP than it is for the PS3, according to developers. With all of the great gameplay elements returning, this game will make a great match on the PSP and the online components of the title will make it even more addicting than its predecessor. This title became available May 4th.

What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord? 2 (PSP):


This title's predecessor brought something new to North American PSP gamers, but unfortunately, it was only available through the Playstation Store, making it unavailable for many gamers. To address this issue, it is now available on UMD and PSN as well. In this title, you will be building dungeons, utilizing tunnels, and hiding Overlord from the reach humans, whom want to catch him, in hope to stop his plans of taking over their kingdom. For those interested in using strategy, you'll likely find this game very addicting. This title became available via PSP and PSN May 4th.

Lost Planet 2 (360, PS3):


While the first Lost Planet took place on cold, snow covered planets, Lost Planet 2 is taking a different setting this time around. Now, you will be venturing on more tropical planets, giving developers endless opportunities to make Lost Planet 2 ten times better than its predecessor. There is, as many experienced through the demo, a new and expansive multiplayer mode, which will, undoubtedly be the main attractive for many after completely the campaign. Though it may feel the same as the first title, it will bring with it a whole new thrill ride to experience and enjoy. With some of the best graphics to date, Lost Planet 2 will amaze you time and again with some of the most visually impressing boss battles. Capcom will be releasing this highly anticipated title May 11th.
