Phew. That's obviously not every game coming out before 2017 comes to an end, but I did my best to highlight the most highly anticipated ones. Which ones are YOU most excited about? Personally, I am really looking forward to Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 2, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Super Mario Odyssey, and the L.A. Noire remaster.
