What BIG fall 2008 games leave you wondering "What's the big deal?"

Try to leave the blatant fanboism aside and EXPLAIN yourself.

For me, I just can't get excited about Fable 2. I just can't get over what a dissapointment the first one was to me, as it didn't come anywhere near what they hyped it to be. Of course, it could still end up being an amazing game, but as of now it's no where near the top of my "I CAN'T WAIT ANYMOARRRR!!!!" list.

LBP. I've never been interested in leveling editing type of things.

Maybe if you can do funny **** like in GMod I'll try it.

But, as of right now MGS Essential Collection, Eternal Sonata, and Sonic Unleashed are my top prioteries this holiday season.

Oh, and Fallout 3. Setting+slow-mo shooting thing=uber boring.

man LTTP on MGS Essentials. I busted that out before MGS4 came out. Best $30 I've spent on gaming in a long time.

Almost all of them. Ever since I've got my 360 I've found that the games I end up enjoying the most are the ones that get passed over by most people for Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War and Grand Theft Auto.

Fable 2 seems somewhat intriguing, I'd like to see how the whole "marriage" and "choice" thing goes down. I have absolutely no interest in Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, LittleBigPlanet (aside from seeing whether or not it doesn't get boring quickly like it seems like it might) and Resistance 2.

I'm more interested in getting all the "sleeper hits" on the 360 like Condemed: Criminal Origins, Kameo: Elements of Power and Dead Rising. All three games I've enjoyed far more than the "popular" titles on the 360. That and Left 4 Dead, a game that should be getting all the hype from everyone. VALVe + zombies = win

Resistance 2 I'm excited for it, just not as much as Fable II, Gears of War 2, Mirror's Edge, Left 4 Dead, Little Big Planet and Fallout 3.

Dead Space and Fallout 3.

For both of these games, I think I would be very excited and couldn't wait for their release, but I just haven't researched them enough. I might really enjoy Dead Space, and I assume I would love Fallout 3 since I love Oblivion but I just can't get excited for these two titles. :(

EDIT: Forgot Far Cry 2. Same as the other two, if I researched this game more maybe I would be interested.

The Lancer. That's the reason why Gerstmann gave it a 9.6/10 even though it had a short, non-memorable singleplayer campaign and a shallow and buggy multiplayer.

I don't think I've never met a 360 fan who didn't at least say oh snap when they used a lancer

Then again, you can get the same reaction out of the myriad of methods of killing Zombies in Dead Rising and other games but still. Gears of War is a pretty good game, I liked it a lot and Gears of War 2 will cater to fans of the original. I doubt it'll convert non fans though.

Gears of War 2, I never really thought much of the first one, I found it quite boring to be honest. The second does look better, but after the dissapointment I got from the first one I can't a reason to hype it because it looks like more of the same with upgraded graphics and what not.

Fallout 3: Oblivion was good for me, I didn't hate it as much as a lot of people did, but the way they "show off" the gameplay of Fallout 3 in the trailers and interviews and whatnot just makes it seem kind of stupid to me. I'll try it out, but I'm not expecting as much as some people are.

LittleBigPlanet: Okay. I get how this thing looks like it will be fun. I get the entire concept and I think it'll be great. But I don't see how this is AAA Super-Innovative Change Console Gaming Forever Sell 2 Million Copies Game.

Gears of War 2: I really liked the first Gears of War. It was fun. But I didn't think it was the greatest shooter ever, and I seriously doubt this will be either. I'll still buy it, and I'll probably enjoy it because I enjoy most games, but I won't be in line all night for it.

I'm not really hyped about any of the 'huge' games coming out, but if I had to dislike one more than the others, it's be Fallout 3. Why? Because I loved the first two Fallout games, and hated Oblivion.

I would go with LBP. People I think are expecting this to be some excellent platforming game but nothing I've seen this far indicates that. The coolest thing I saw thus far was much more mini-game than platformer (tetris level).

Yup, Fallout 3. Looks like a mixture of Oblivion and Bioshock, things just can't get much dull than that.

Perhaps the hype is more about what can be done with LittleBigPlanet's tools rather than actual platforming, similar to Spore's hype for it's many creation tools.Unfortunately, what we've seen out of LBP so far hasn't been quite good seeing as level designers are relying on nostalgic material as the basis for their levels but can't quite capture the 'feel' nor emulate the source material's mechanics very well. Hopefully we'll see more user-created levels relying more on LBP's physics than other games.

This.

I just don't see the appeal of the game. Yeah it provides something new and fresh which is always good for gaming, but I'm much more interested in all the sequels to proven franchises...even if they don't offer much new.
