Anyone else looking forward to HAЩʞEN (Hawken)?
http://www.playhawken.com
It's a Free to Play Multiplayer FPS Mech Combat Game.
The open beta is being launched on the 12.12.12 for everyone to play for free, but there is also a closed beta that can be applied for to gain early access to the game.
It is looking really nice from the trailers and the information being given out from its developers. And there is a big feature about the game in this month's Edge magazine.
The game is much faster than traditional mech games, where they tend to be more tactical and tank like. HAЩʞEN plays like a proper multiplayer FPS, but with fast moving Mechs. Looks great fun.

I saw a trailer already longer time ago, and I have to admit, it looks really good. Unfortunately it's multiplayer, and I don't play online. And as you know, playing this now on a huge screen, would be nicer than on a PC monitor. Because I doubt that my PC will be able to run this properly.
I'm more looking forward to
UFO:Enemy Unknown which comes out next week, watched some gameplay videos of a preview version, and it looks quite good, very true to the original. I'm also puzzled with that one, should I grab it and try on the PC, or just get a console version, and play on the beamer? Could also look great, only downside is that the controls are probably better with the mouse than with a controller, but I still could hook up some USB devices to my console, will probably work fine, at least it would be great.
