Xbox One Launch Window (and 2014 Games)

Well, the Xbox One releases into the unsuspecting world less than 11 days.  So, what games for launch window (and later currently announced) interest me.

Already pre-ordered and Paid:
* Dead Rising 3
* Forza 5
* Ryse: Son of Rome

Other Launch Window, Interested in:
* Peggle 2 (at $12, probably one of the cheapest new downloadable titles)
* Powerstar Golf: the RPG type elements are kind of drawing me in (i'm a sucker for those)
* Zoo Tycoon: this is a retail Wal-Mart exclusive in the US.  I am a bit concerned about the purported file size (2.6 GB) - which seems more like an XBLA title instead of a retail release, but it will be selling for $60.
* Kinect Sports Rivals: Kinect Sports was one of the better Kinect titles (still like Kinect Adventures a little bit better).  This sequel looks more of the same, but better.  Yes, I actually like Kinect.  There will be a one event demo available at launch

Beyond the Launch Window
* Max: The Curse of Brotherhood
* Fable Legends: I have misgivings about where the new Lionhead appears to be taking the series.
* Child of Light: downloadable RPG from Ubisoft
* D4: One of my most anticipated Kinect XBLA style titles.  This is shaping up to be a really weird episodic time travelling murder mystery game.
* Witcher 3: the Wild Hunt

* Quantum Break: this is actually my most anticipated Xbox One game.  I liked Alan Wake (at least the story), so this has me really intrigued.
