In all honesty, the excitement I had for the rest of the year's games is dwindling.

With LBP coming out in October and Gears 2 in November, there really isn't anything else that looks all that exciting.

Perhaps I'm missing a few games, but with RE5 and FFXIII not coming until '09, much of the quality '08 games have already been released.

What else are you excited about this year? Is there any reason to be excited for Wii?

I am looking forward to the new DDR on the 360. I am also picking up the Sonic Bioware game for the DS.

Then de Blob for the Wii.

I am not sure if I will be getting LBP for my PS3 yet or not.

There is a number of other games I think I will be getting. But those I want the most.

Fallout does look good but I will wait for it to drop in price and pick it up used. LMP does look more my style but I am not sure if I will be getting it either.

Banjo is another great looking game coming out this year.

Its like saying Disaster Movie is a better movie than The Dark Knight. Sure both can entertain you, but one has more quality than the other

Man i cant wait for LBP to flop like Spore to shut you cows up. Get ready to add another majorly hyped game to your flop list, cows

Ok. Lets do this ; You name me three bad things about LBP. In other words three reasons that the game will flop.

Flop as in score an 8.5 or lower? The game is too "small" to get a 9.0. You basically create a map, then walk through it... That can only be fun for so long

Well in Mario Galaxy you don't even create maps, all you do is just walk through them.

Did that mean it was a bad game ?

Ugh, getting tired of seeing these threads all over the place. If you casually look at game news and previews, you know what major games are coming out this year and it's nearly a gurantee they'll be good to great at the least.

LBP = the real GOTY contender for me for me

Fable 2 could be alright, Gears and Resistance seem like the same old crap and fallout 3 is a pretty ugly looking game that reeks of Oblivion

I could be surprised but I really thing LBP will be the best game this year

The way i see it, the only games that have a chance of competing for 2008 GOTY with GTAIV and MGS4 are LBP, Gears 2 and Fallout 3.

I don't think LBP is going to be GOTY, it's either MGS4, Fallout 3, and... possible gears 2, we'll have to see.

There are many "big" games on the way. Some people just seem too picky. Resistance 2, Gears of War 2, Motorstorm 2, LBP, Fable 2, Mirrors Edge, Left for Dead, Fall Out 3, Tom Clancys End War, Banjo 3, Last Remnant, Brothers at Arms:Highway to Hell, Pure, etc, etc. ....

IMHO Fable 2 is the horse I'm backing as the overall GOTY candidate - Me thinks this ones the real deal or at least I have high hopes. :)

I don't see Fable 2 as a GOTY 2008 contender. I'm sure it will be a great game, but in my opinion it doesn't look GOTY worthy. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Right now we're just giving opinions and in some cases of games we haven't even played yet. For all we know, LBP, Fallout 3, Gears 2 and Fable 2, could all flop.

Typical fanboy thread in system wars..... PS3 owners telling XBOX 360 owners that the PS3 line-up is great, but the 360 line up is sure to fail, and the other way around.

Yeah, my most expected games this year were Spore, SOASE and ME(PC). Those were all great but the rest of the year doesn't really have any big bombs left for me, good games for sure but nothing I couldn't wait to drop in price before picking up.

In all honesty, the excitement I had for the rest of the year's games is dwindling.

With LBP coming out in October and Gears 2 in November, there really isn't anything else that looks all that exciting.

Perhaps I'm missing a few games, but with RE5 and FFXIII not coming until '09, much of the quality '08 games have already been released.

What else are you excited about this year? Is there any reason to be excited for Wii?

achrlz

Yeah you are perfectly right in the beggining of they year there where mnay exicting games about to lauch like.

MGS4

GTAIV

DBZ:Burst Limit

Mario kart Wii

echocrome

Age of connan : Hybroian adventures.

GRID

Lego indiana jones : the orignal adventures

Secret agent clank

Battlefield : bad company

Alone in the dark

Devil may cry 4

and Madden NFL 09

They were pretty hyped but it seems over but some few sports and other titles are gonna be up.

Hopefully. The only thing that bothers me about F3 is that in the E3 videos the graphics look kind of weak

I thought the same thing, but then I downloaded the gameplay vids on Xbox live and watched them on my HDTV, and trust me, they are fine.
