If you're talking financial successes and bombs then this is probably right. If you're talking review scores, then I don't know where to begin on how wrong this list is :|...

Crysis Warhead? Why?! It's better optimized this time around and it retails for cheap. I'm totally going to get it.

Mirror's Edge? People are raving over this game.. I highly doubt that source.

BioShock isnt going to fail. A lot of PS3 owners are looking forward to it, more than ever.

Too Human already failed...

Spore is a success and it shows.. despite the lack of depth in gameplay.

like i said before bro, i disagree that crysis warhead in the failing list, however mirror's edge, i dunno...it looks pretty innovative but if you compare with big games like fallout 3, LBP, like the priority which to buy first...itll probably flop, i dunno man, these list are just a prediction by a reviewer. u dont have to agree with it... its like a list of games u " must buy" this xmas ...

Rock Band will be huge, and many people will get Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, way before the big games of the fall will come out. I have to agree with ryrulez and Elann2008 and say that Fracture and bia:hh won't be hits this fall.

Yeah, I hear ya. I was actually shaking my fist at the author from the source. I was reading what he said about Mirror's Edge, and he does have a point. Imo, Mirror's Edge is just too cool to pass up, although I might get motion sickness from playing it. We'll have to see. This Christmas is going to be rocky. With the already fallen economy, video games dont come cheap. I wonder how sales are going to do for the not so established franchises.

Wasn't Bioshock a big success on PC and 360? Why wouldn't it be so on PS3?

And I really don't know about Star Wars... will it be good? looked good in some vids I saw.

Spore , Star Wars , and Mercenaries 2 should all do well in sales. Fracture isn't going to do anything , Viva Pinata 2 might not do too well despite the firsts ok showing and bundles. I don't think Brothers in Arms will do all that well. No real anticipation from even the hardcore gamers and Call of Casual Duty is the military franchise to get for them.

i dont trust EA games enough. all of their games are being superhyped

look at army of two...the only game that i have high hopes is Deadspace.

ive seen a lot of their gameplay videos, for some reason it convinced me.

I understand where you're coming from but Army of Two and Mirror's Edge are like totally different games. As a gamer for 17 years, I know how to discern a good game and a bad game and most of us who have been playing games for this long should know how to by now. Mirror's Edge is a much better quality game than Army of Two by a mile, and so is Dead Space.

EA is just the publisher. I look at the developer and I look at their work. I look at the details. Dead Space and Mirror's Edge look like quality games. I'll be damned if these games flop, which I highly doubt will be the case.

Fracture won't sell at all. Also, Saints Row 2 will probably sell very well, Spore also.

Developers are the more important then the publisher. All the publisher does is make and advertise the game, while the developers actually make the games. Dead Space and Mirror's Edge both look good, so lets see what happens.

Is he retared or something? Spore will fail? Yeah right... How can he think that Fracture will sell, it looks like some gimmicky crap compared to Mirrors Edge which pretty much everyone seems to think looks good.

Hmm I have to say Spore is looking enticing so i don't know what that reviewer was smoking. A few posts ago someone talked about WOW and I agree that WOW is hard to beat even if games have better graphics. It's like telling someone to switch from one in depth hobby to another similar hobby, it just doesn't happen so easily. Anyways I also don't hold much weight in the Mortal Kombat game. Let sleeping dogs lie. But on the other hand I'm excited for Street Fighter to come out, maybe that will flop. Ideas?

I definitely am w/ you on that one. Bioshock has been something PS3 owners have been pining to play for quite some time--I, for one, am actually thinking on getting it as I've heard it's a damn good, thought-provoking game--Mirror's Edge has looked hot to me since I first read a preview on it several months back, and I like the uniqueness it looks like it'll bring. Star Wars, I know that's gonna sell like bananas when it drops. Hell I've never been crazy or ever played ANY SW game in my life but I'm damn sure gonna get that--and I think that the general pull that this game has been getting--a lot of gamers that aren't really big SW fans or even do the SW video/pc games thing are just as hype about this game as the diehard fans.

This list is certainly as tad shy away for epic fail....oh no, sorry, it's already arrived. ;)

1-Where the hell is Motorstorm: Pacific Rift

2-Fracture , a hit? That guy must be on drugs , this game looks just the same as Lost Planet , with a faster pace and the terrain thing.I dont see any hype over BIA:HH either.

3-Bioshock and Star Wars failing , just lol.Bioshock will be bought by almost every ps3 owner , and SW I will get even if it receives a 4 or 5.I love the series and the freedom you had in the demo.

EDIT: I typed the ":" next to the "Pacific" and made an emotion , just corrected.

There is no way Star Wars the Force Unleashed is going to fail. That game will probably sell very well.

Why is Bioshock on that list? I know that I am definitely looking forward to that game and I also know a lot of PS3 owners haven't experienced that game yet who are looking forward to it aswell. I know oblivion sold pretty well when it was released for the ps3 a year later...

:lol: Brothers in Arms...A HIT?? HAHAHAHAHAHA wow, these people have some humor :P

I played the past Brothers in Arms, and they suck! Just because its 'next-gen' doesnt mean it's gonna be a hit lol
