Here are Digital Spy's Top 10 Xbox 360 games for 2008:

10. Burnout Paradise
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: Criterion Games
Release Date: January 25
Xbox 360 Exclusive: No

Unlike previous games in the Burnout series, this title has been designed specifically for next-gen consoles. Spectacular crashes, unique online play allowing gamers to enter or exit at any time and total freedom to explore Paradise City are some of the features that promise to make this game race past the competition. The developer also claims the title will feature high-definition graphics, running at 60 frames per second.

9. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: Pandemic Studios
Release Date: February 8
Xbox 360 Exclusive: No

This is one of the most content-rich action games of the year, carrying on where the original title left off. Over 200 vehicles are featured in the game and each one can be sat in and driven. Everything around you is a potential target and with more than 30 weapons at your disposal there is plenty of ammunition power. Clients pay you to create chaos and, with some great missions promised, this one is looking very promising indeed.

8. Devil May Cry 4
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Release Date: February 8
Xbox 360 Exclusive: No

Running at an impressive 60 frames per second, this horror-filled game looks more sumptuous than ever. New hero Nero takes over from Dante, pushing you in a gothic world that offers eye-catching combo moves as well as guns and swordplay. A new Exceed system allows Nero to power up his sword across three levels, while new characters and environments promise to bring more depth to the game.

7. Borderlands
Publisher: 2K Games
Developer: Gearbox Software
Release Date: Late 2008
Xbox 360 Exclusive: No

Famed for its first-person shooters, this game is expected to be another hit to be proud of for Xbox 360. Set in a lawless space environment, the first title in a new science-fiction franchise could become a true Diablo beater. Combining action with vehicle combat, the developer is also promising a "groundbreaking content generation system allowing for near-endless variety in missions, environments, enemies, weapons, item drops and character customisation".

6. Alan Wake
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer:Remedy
Release Date: To Be Announced
Xbox 360 Exclusive: Yes

Although this game will also be released on PC, it is exclusive to Xbox 360 on console and, given its plot and promised gameplay, it could well rise to success like the phoenix from the flames. Alan Wake is a best-selling suspense author who escapes to a town to recover after the disappearance of his girlfriend. This psychological mission-based game was inspired by Konami hit Silent Hill, so definitely one to watch out for.

5. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Studios
Release Date: March 1
Xbox 360 Exclusive: Yes

The best-selling Splinter Cell series is looking to reinvent itself this year, with the release of this Xbox 360 exclusive. Instead of using pure stealth, players will have a number of new options to use. To escape from enemies, for example, you will be able to hide in a crowd of people to go undetected - or create panic to make a getaway. You can use the black market to buy gadgets, while enemies will actively track you down using the environment and resources.

4. Fallout 3
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Developer: Bethesda Softworks
Release Date: Autumn 2008
Xbox 360 Exclusive: No

Star Wars actor Liam Neesom plays the lead role in this epic role-playing game. Created by the developers of the award-winning The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3 is set in a post-apocalyptic America where every minute will see players battle against super mutants, radiation and hostile mutated creatures. Featuring a promised expansive world and a cast of dynamic characters, this game looks very mouth-watering for RPG fans.

3. Fable 2
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Lionhead Studios
Release Date: May 30
Xbox 360 Exclusive: Yes

Any game with Peter Molyneux's name on it deserves attention and this sequel to the three-million selling original RPG is no different. Set 500 years on, every decision a player makes defines who they become. Promising real-time gameplay and the chance to explore "a vast collection of dungeons, catacombs and caves in the world of Albion", this game is expected to a major hit.

2. Halo Wars
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Ensemble Studios/Bungie
Release Date: June 27
Xbox 360 Exclusive: Yes

After a record-breaking 2007 for the Halo franchise, this title is destined for the top. A prequel to the 2001 release Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo Wars is different. It's not a first-person shooter, but is, instead, a real-time strategy game. Players will command armies against the Covenant in a game developed by the creators of PC strategy epic Age of Empires.

1. Grand Theft Auto IV
Publisher: Take2
Developer:Rockstar
Release Date: April
Xbox 360 Exclusive: No

This may not be an exclusive, but as the most eagerly-awaited game of 2008 it is still almost certain to be the format's best-seller. Although also heading for PS3, the exclusive episodic content promised for Xbox 360 will guarantee its success. Take2 has confirmed two exclusive Xbox 360 episodes will be released before the end of the year, with two more in 2009. This game could easily sell as much on the Xbox 360 as Halo did last year.



Here are Digital Spy's top ten PS3 games for 2008:

10. MotorStorm 2
Publisher: Sony
Developer: Evolution Studios
Release Date: To Be Announced
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

Following the original, acclaimed best-seller, which went on to sell more than 3.31 million copies worldwide and was an integral part of the console's launch, this update is expected to feature more dirt bikes, trucks, buggies, ATVs, rally cars and more. The sequel will also be powered by a modified game engine so, if all goes well, this title should be a lot more refined.

9. LittleBigPlanet
Publisher: Sony
Developer: Media Molecule
Release Date: September 2008
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

Considered by some to be revolutionary, with the Sony slogan of "Play, Create, Share," this game aims to promote Sony chief Phil Harrison's vision of user-generated content. A cartoon-style game, players will be invited to create their own levels using easy to learn, simple procedures. The player will be able to take part in levels created by other users anywhere in the world, while other gamers can enter the levels you create.

8. Final Fantasy XIII
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Square Enix
Release Date: March
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

This PlayStation 3 role-playing epic is made up of several different titles based on variations of the Final Fantasy XIII universe. The game is said to take advantage of the PS3's hardware, while Square also claims the title offers "intuitive controls while delivering seamless transitions between real-time gameplay and stunning in-game cinematics". With millions of Final Fantasy followers worldwide, this is sure to be a real crowd-puller.

7. SOCOM: Confrontation
Publisher: Sony
Developer: Slant Six Games
Release Date: To Be Announced
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

This third-person tactical shooter is the latest in the best-selling SOCOM series. It will be a multi-player online only game, with Sony promising to provide tournaments, clan ladders and leader boards for the 32-player title. Available as a download on the PlayStation Store or bundled with a headset in-store, the prospects of this title look likely to make online gamers foam at the mouth.

6. Tekken 6
Publisher: Namco
Developer:Namco
Release Date: March
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

One of the most respected and long-standing fighting games in the world, this latest addition has already proved a success in the arcades. Over 20 million people own a Tekken game and this is predicted to be major PS3 hit. Creator Katsuhiro has promised it will retain the best features from Tekken 5, while adding online battles, daylight/night time transitions and better customisation.

5. Killzone 2
Publisher: Sony
Developer: Guerilla Games
Release Date: To Be Announced
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

Developer Guerilla claims it could not have created this title without the 50Gb discs available on Blu-ray so it's very unlikely ever to appear on another format. Killzone 2 could be the killer app first-person shooter that the PS3 has been crying out for. A demo shown at the E3 blew onlookers away with its stunning visuals, fine physics and an all-new first-person cover system. Could it be enough to tempt Xbox 360 owners? Only time will tell.

4. Resistance: Fall of Man 2
Publisher: Sony
Developer: Insomniac
Release Date: To Be Announced
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

Little is yet known about the sequel to one of the PS3's most successful games, but the fact that Insomniac prefer to release titles late in the year suggests this one could be a late 2008 launch. Rumours state that players will take on the role of Nathan Hale again, with levels set in San Francisco, Chicago and Louisiana. Following Insomniac's recent success with Ratchet & Clank, this first-person shooter is definitely one to watch out for.

3. Gran Turismo 5
Publisher: Sony
Developer: Polyphony Digital
Release Date: To Be Announced
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

While the taster Gran Turismo 5: Prologue is expected to be a huge success when it launches with five tracks and 50 cars, the full release of this eagerly-awaited game could well see the light of day towards the end of the year. For the first time, online racing will be featured and with lush visuals, handling and presentation all predicted, this title should see sales of the PS3 surge.

2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Kojima Productions
Release Date: March 14
PS3 Exclusive: Yes

The exclusive that Sony always dreamed of should ensure sales of large proportions. This potential game of the year comes with, for the first time, the addition of a first-person perspective that is sure to win it more fans. With its excellent story telling, classy cut-scenes and stealth to die for, main character Snake and his followers will undoubtedly return with a bang.

1. Grand Theft Auto IV
Publisher: Take2
Developer: Rockstar
Release Date: April 4
PS3 Exclusive: No

This may not be an exclusive, but as the most eagerly-awaited game of 2008 it is still almost certain to be the format's best-seller. Although talk of exclusive content for the Xbox 360 has been discussed, the game is still expected to be a huge PS3 success. With the promise of multi-player challenges, a larger world and more hot ladies of the night, what more could a gamer possibly want?

Hope you guys will enjoy the great games for both console
cheers....

Alan Wake is a video game being developed by Remedy Entertainment, the Finnish company behind the Max Payne games. Alan Wake is billed as a "psychological action thriller". Microsoft Game Studios is the publisher of the game. The game is being developed exclusively for Windows Vista and Xbox 360, with a PlayStation 3 version also planned but then cancelled when Microsoft acquired publisher rights of the title.

FF13 will be in 2009. So doubt we will see it this year unless Square Enix decides to spring a pleasant surprise.

MGS is Q2 2008, so that should mean after April-June. tongue.gif

BBeh, most of those titles take themselves too seriously, almost all big overhyped names as well. Poor reporting if you ask me - caters to the fanboys?
What about the potential sleeper hits and smaller titles? Disgaea 3 anyone?
