And anyway, after 2007 things look a bit empty. I was only really looking forwards to the Orange Box last year, and that was great. But now what? Just Episode 3 hopefully.

The whole year just has a rather stagnant quality, don't you feel?

Just bring on Half-Life 3 is all I can say. Valve is pretty much the only truly great developer left.

Valve AND Turtle Rock Stuidos...but valve bought TRS now

Also, what about the online aspect?

This is hardly new. A good notable example is Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2, which is also a sandbox game. Which I play a lot on when I have the time.


But anyway, games I'm looking forward to in '08:

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Fallout 3

not really sure on what else...

hmm well now i am getting Lost odyssey( i like turn-based Rpgs, bring back FF7!!) and Turok( not great reviews for turok but i like dinos).

Metal Gear Solid 4
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Grand Theft Auto 4
Starcraft 2
C&C3: Kanes Wrath
Spore
Tomb Raider Underworld

I would also sell my soul for Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy versus XIII... but recently learned they won't be coming this year

oh friend just got Lost Odyssey. If you like Final Fantasy, especially the turned based fighting kind. You'll love this, it is really good.

Fable 2
GoW 2
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Borderlands <~ Everyone NEEDS to check this out! Diablo meets Mass Effect meets Gears of War
GTA IV
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed <~ HELLZ YES!!!
Condemned 2: Bloodshot
Bully: Scholarship Edition for the 360
Spore
Fallout 3
Starcraft 2
Halo Wars
Metal Gear Solid 4


I can't choose lol.


I'm definitely picking up wither a Wii or a PS3 this year... probably a Wii.

Ohh, I forgot about Star Wars Force Unleashed! Definitely want that.

I'd like to give Lost Odyssey a go, but unfortunately don't have a 360. I may end up with one some day if enough exclusive games are released that I want. So I'll keep LO on my "to get one day" list.

2008 will be the year for video games.

1. Bully: Scholarship Edition- March
2. Army of Two- March
3. Super Smash Brothers Brawl- March
4. Grand Theft Auto IV- April
5. Left 4 Dead- June (most likely be pushed back)
6. MGS4- (don't even have a Ps3 yet...)
7. Portal 2- (it's been confirmed)
8. Gears of War 2- November
9. LittleBigPlanet
10. Fallout 3

Another two things to input.

1. LittleBigPlanet is ALL about level editing. Anyone who says "omg it's sooo old" is just stupid. You know what else is old? First Person Shooters. Doesn't mean Call of Duty 4 is un-revolutionary. You know what else is old? Mario games. Doesn't mean Super Mario Galaxy wasn't intuitive. Seriously, give it a break.

2. For the person who thought you need "friend codes" to play SSMB online, you don't. It's going to have matchmaking. Just like how "Super Mario Strikers Charged" had online matchmaking, Brawl will have it too.

GTA 4 and hopefully KOTOR 3

Mario kart wii
World of warcraft: wrath of the lich king
