What, in your opinion is the NEXT BIG THING in gaming??? What game seems to be flying under the radar and could prove to be the next big SLEEPER HIT to come? and when i say "not including extremely hyped games, i mean games like Mass Effect that are"unproven" but "EXTREMELY" hyped.

Sleeper hit? I have a feeling that the one sleeper hit of 2007 will be Battalion Wars 2. It looks like a nice blend of FPS and RTS elements with a touch of precise Wiimote aiming, all topped with online play. Sure seems like the one Wii killer app that no one's hyping. I'd be inclined to say Bioshock, but that one's actually being hyped. Chances are it could still be a sleeper hit in the sense that it's critically acclaimed but didn't sell well. (Hey, it happened to the System Shock games, as well as all the other Looking Glass Studios titles like Thief and Terra Nova....but maybe Irrational has some marketing muscle planned to garner this game some well-deserved sales this time around.)

Speaking of Amiga and Sensible Software games, they ought to bring Cannon Fodder and its sequel to the Wii. It could work as an XBLA game, but they'd better let you use a USB mouse. I've never played a Sensible (World of) Soccer game before, though I'd be interested in the version with Cannon Fodder soldiers and the soccer ball replaced with a grenade that can explode and kill anyone near it. And swapping Sensible for Xbox Live in terms of relativity, I'm starting to think about that Speedball 2 XBLA remake that was announced. (The PC remake is supposed to be an entirely different remake altogether, so I'm not talking about that one.)

battalion wars 2

i mean, the last one was great and got an 8.3. the main knock on the game was its lack of multiplayer, even though it seemed to be perfect for multiplayer gaming.

now battalion wars 2 will have online multiplayer, so i see a lot of potential in this one

HAHAHA!!!...No. :|

Clive Barker's Jericho, now THAT will be a sleeper hit. ;) Clive Barker's Undying was a great game but sadly wasn't very popular and Jericho is likely to suffer the same fate.

The Socom game that will be coming out soon will be a huge hit and then there is another Socom game being developed for sometime mid to late next year that will possibly be a major selling game.

I can see where you're coming from with all those other games, but Mass Effect? That's one of those "extremely hyped games" from what I've seen on System Wars. Or are you talking about it in the sense that it may get rave reviews, but not sell well?

Yeah I had both an Amiga 500 and 1200. :D Now if they can bring a lot of those old games to XBLA that would totally rock. :)

Oh, yeah, they should bring Exile to XBLA as well, hopefully adding analog controls(so you can slowly walk around while carrying that urn full of water instead of hurling yourself into a wall and spilling the urn's water, for instance)in the process. What other Amiga classics could make it to XBLA? Oh, wait, Xbox fans are called lemmings, and didn't Lemmings start on the Amiga? (It would probably be better suited to the Wii for its Wiimote, though, unless they allow USB mice to be used for a XBLA version.) (The funny thing is, I'm a bit obsessed with a computer I've never even encountered in person. Grew up on an IBM clone, used some 680x0 Macs running System 7.5.x, and that's it. But the Amiga was undeniably ahead of its time, with excellent graphics and sound capabilities out of the box, not to mention the fact that you could boot from a game disk and not have some bloated OS eat your RAM in the background. Unfortunately, newer Kickstart versions can break old games, but I'm sure that you could get older versions on spare ROM chips or something. In any case, I thank WinUAE and the Internet for exposing me to this revolutionary computer...now if I could just get a Catweasel card...)
