what is so amazing about this year?

[QUOTE="HAZE-Unit"]

I hear alot of people and media overrating this year to be the best year in gaming, yet, I see 2008 is much more better than this year, what makes it so special?

I mean, there have been alot of disappointments for alot of hyped games.

Bioshock was a disappointment.

Halo 3 was a disappointment.

Blu Dragon was weak.

Lair, everybody know what happened to this game.

Heavenly sword.

Wii sport.

Zelda, it was released for the GC.

Folklore.

Unreal tournament 3.

All this games were generic, this is what is left.

Call of Duty 4 was decent.

Assassins Creed was the surprise of 2007.

Mass effect, it is a great RPG, nothing more, nothing less.

Warhawk and Uncharted were great.

Crysis, nothing special except the graphics.

Super Mario galaxy is the biggest franchise left for 2007, but that game alone doesn't justify calling this year is the best year in gaming.

Let's take a look for 2008 and what it will offer next year.

Resident evil 5, one of the biggest franchises in gaming and it bring us Chris back to kick some major ***.

Devil may Cry 4, one of the most anticipated sequels for 2008.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is one of the best action games coming next year for the 360.

Street Fighter 4, the best fighter franchise is back after 8 years.

Tekken 6, the second best fighter in gaming history in next-gen.

Soul Caliber 4, One of the most engaging fighters coming in 2008.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Snake's last mission to bring liberty to the world.

Final Fantasy XIII, the best of the best of RPGs everyone can't wait anymore for.

Star Ocean 4, one of the best RPGs coming for the PS3.

Grand Theft Auto 4, wow, what can I say for this game, It created a new genre of it's own.

Gran Turismo 5, the real driving simulator which everybody in the world likes.

TimeSplitters 4, the funniest shooter, yet the best.

Saint's Row 2, the direct competition of GTA 4.

Mafia 2, one of the best sandbox games coming next year.

A possible release for God of War 3 next year.

Super smash Bros, Brawl, the number one party fighter game.

A possible release of the famous Shooter Gears of War 2 next year.

A possible release for Resistance next year.

Now tell me how is the year 2007 is the year of best games? Btw, Im excluding the new IPs.

What are you expecting, some hot girl(or) boy to come out of the console and be your love slave??This is the single greatest year EVER in gaming. I don't know about you but I havent seen so many good titles come out ever. I think you should hang up your game hat as you are just judging games by thier hype, in my opinion. If you buy into the hype you will always be dissapointed in a game, instead don't listen to the hype, and judge the game based off your experience with it...

I think your getting tired of the same old genres, and the lack of real new factor of most of these games, I suggest you go out and buy a WII.

Try 1998 ;) and there are only a few great console RPGs that came out this year.. Alot of great shooters though.
