On preorder.  It has been a long run since the PS2 Tricky heydays.  Hopefully the franchise has a nice rebound, but I don\u2019t want to see a fast follower release.  Hopefully some DLC will enhance the experience vs. a second release in 9-18 months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2<\/strong> (super-secret, premium edition from NIS America store \u2013 PS3):  February 28.  On preorder.  Honestly, I try to stop, but I really can\u2019t help myself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MLB 12 The Show (PS3 \/ Vita)<\/strong>:  March 6.  I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll cave one day this week and purchase one or both titles.  Love the idea of taking the game save on the go and then transferring back.  I\u2019m not traveling much right now, so it may not be necessary to get the Vita version, but I suspect that I may get in a little more baseball action via the Vita than the PS3 and TV.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tales of Graces f (PS3)<\/strong>:  March 12.  On preorder.  Reality tells me that I will not even start this one anytime soon, but I want to send a message to the publisher that this sort of game is still relevant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dragon\u2019s Crown (Vita)<\/strong>:  March 31.  On preorder.  Hack and Slash on the go goodness?  Count me in!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (Vita)<\/strong>:  April 17.  I want this one, but haven\u2019t convinced myself to hit the order button.  Why?  Why would I think I have anywhere near enough time to really enjoy a Disgaea title?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gravity Rush (Vita)<\/strong>:  May 29.  On preorder.   This is going to turn into the must have title on the Vita, supplanting Uncharted, assuming GR gets some decent airtime and marketing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>LittleBigPlanet (Vita)<\/strong>:  June 26.  On preorder.  Because LBP is just balls out fun, I cannot get enough, and I\u2019m interested in seeing how the franchise transfers to the Vita.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course in addition to my normal backlog, I have the new Vita games, and Twisted Metal.
