So I've loosely compiled a list based on what's on teamxbox's site (sorry guys). This list is obviously not comprehensive, but it does give a general idea of what we can expect to be on the 360 in the year of the rat.

I also know some threads have been opened about individual games, but I thought we could have all 2008 games discussed here.

Now some input from yours truly. Alone in the dark & silent hill are both classics in their own right. You can't really call yourself a gamer unless you've played the daddy of these 2 games. What's next, you haven't played resident evil?

GTA and DMC are also old hands in this sector. They're both awesome, and I can't wait. I'm sure all of you have seen the trailer for GTA IV. Am I the only one here who thinks Vice City was the best GTA released? Hopefully this one does not disappoint. And if DMC 4 is anything like it's predecessors, it's gonna be mind blowing. Then again Prince of Persia 1 was cool, then the second one came out and it sucked ass. We shall see...

Iron man - looks nice. Hopefully it plays nice too.

Ghostbusters. I remember playing this game on Atari, then Sega. Both times the memories were pleasant. Can't wait to kick ghost butt.

Now to talk about the clones. Alan wake = Max payne? Saints row 2 = GTA series? I think so. Attack of the clones begun, it has.

Speaking of which, have you seen star wars: the force unleashed? f*** me it looks great. I hope you can do the Vader choke, that move ALONE would be worth the £40 asking price.

APB trailer seems a bit cops and robbers, which I think is cool.

Last but certainly not least, Fallout 3. I'm hoping to god they don't hash this up. Remember fallout tactics? Oh dear...

My vote goes to the obvious: Fallout 3. I've played fallout 1 and 2, even tactics, and I think it's one of those few games where the storyline really made an impact. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try and convince my gf to allow me to grab more MS live points so I can buy golden axe. Yeah baby, I gotta get me some of that dinosaur action!

Fallout 3 has gone the route of First Person I believe, so I am not entirely excited about that anymore.

The last time Bethesda did a third person option in Oblivion, that was pretty much crap.

I am certainly looking forward to Ghostbusters, Alone in the Dark and DMC. No more 360 for me means I have to rule out Fable 2 although that game might make me consider getting it again tongue.gif

Star Wars..hrmm.. who cares about the Vader choke? tongue.gif Did you see the trailer where the guy used the Force to bring down a space ship! I mean... wow tongue.gif

As long as it stays on the route of being a bad guy, I dont mind. Hopefully no plot twist where you realise the error of your ways and join the Jedi instead. That will suck.

So, I would love to vote for Fable 2 but I doubt I can play it so my vote goes to Alone in the Dark.

I'm not a huge fan of FPS's. I'm sorry to have left out some of them.

Another shooter that's boasting "destructible everything" is Fracture. You might wanna check that out.

You guys should check out Fable 2's teaser, which you can find here: http://www.fable2.com/

Ghostbuster is multi-platform but multiplayer aspect has been revealed only for the Wii. PS3 and 360 only had previews on the single player campaign.

Isn't that a rumour that has been taken for truth? Pretty much like XBOX bans modded fan story. Circulate a rumour long enough and it will be taken as the truth.

Ye ke? Well, even when people at x-play and Penny Arcade (the definitive spot for all your gaming news, in cartoon form!) talk about it, I tend to believe it's the truth. Also, I find it highly suspect when the reviews of other people that were negative are removed as well, replaced with some favourable ones then the entire page was themed to kane & lynch...

Anyways, this irrelevant here. ARMY OF 2 IS A GEARS OF WAR CLONE! A horrible one at that.

    We've worked on the controls, gameplay, and story for this game being very much aware of what has gone before us. I was down in playtest yesterday and actually did not get to sit down and play because folks were spending their lunches playing the game. I know we're doing well when that happens. More than that, I believe we will be huge not just because I believe, but because when we put the controller in your hands, you will believe too.

Damn, the "believe" thingie went into Halo Wars too. Believe! laugh.gif

It will be released. I have brows.gif many gameplay footage of it...
Just the controls is so "gamepad-ish", not like you can move the cursor like a mouse (of course). It jitters and stutters when plenty of action goes on.

Easy, Deus Ex 3! (if it avoids the 99.999% chance of slipping. Not so easy). Here's hoping Dragon Age comes out for the PC too in 2008 (currently no release)


Burga - who voted for the Star Wars game being the fan that he is
