My two favorite games were Dragon Age Origins and Fable 2, but that was before I played DKS. Right now I'm working on Kingdoms of Amalur and Dark Souls. Early in on both but I'm pretty impressed so far.
The one I'm anticipating is Dragon's Dogma. I love Capcom games.
I've heard quite a bit of good stuff about amalur and enjoyed the demo. The combat, skill points, quests and cut scenes seem fairly similar to dks. I think i might give it a shot once it goes on special.
