[QUOTE="wonderer"]Sigh, nothing will. This year is going to suck massively comapred to 2007. There's just not going to be a great ensemble of games that will be able to compare even close. We're going to be in a brief "game recession" this year. Its going to be an especially bad year for RPGs unfortunately. It feels like it takes longer and longer now to come out with good games than it has before. I mean, good lord, we still haven't come out with a game that can beat WOW started in 2004 in the MMO genre. 2008 will be a good year for sandbox games with GTA claiming its next-gen ground and the Wii continuing its momentum after a great SMG showing with Smash Brothers. But that's about it. Lame. I think Fable is going to get only an 8.0-8.5. The original wasn't that great and the whole concept of you can't die is just ridiculous. The developers think its innovative, but its just plain stupid as dying helps gamers drive a basic instict to want to play and survive making the rewards more fullfilling. No one is going to care about scars they have. In fact, I predict alot of players will die on person to get the scars because just like in Mass Effect many think its visual cool as it looks rugged. The game market is in need of a strong MMO that will truly suceed WOW right now. Its needed badly, not just for RPGers, but gamers in general. We're tired of expansion packs. We want innovation and a brand new concept for an MMO that will continue to drive bring massive socializing and gameplay together cohesively which the genre has the destiny of doing to majorly shape the game industry.

Dude, I have lost count on how many posts I've seen like yours. And just by reading your post, you have no clue. You haven't done your research obviously. There are so many great titles, exclusive or multi-plat. Hell, I'm still catching up with 2007 titles! I dont even have enough time to play the new ones coming out 2008. Lost Odyssey, Devil May Cry 4, Turok, Condemned 2: Bloodshot, Dark Sector, GTA IV, Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil 5, Silent Hill 5, Alan Wake, Dead Space, Borderlands, Fable 2, Last Remnant, Infinite Discovery, Too Human, Fallout 3, Tiberium, Gears of War 2 (maybe, Maybe!), Rise of the Argonauts, Prototype, Bionic Commando, Fracture, Ninja Gaiden 2, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, The Precursors, Golden Axe, Ghostbusters, Brutal Legend, Dead Island, and many others. Now tell me there isnt any great titles in 2008. If you want an MMORPG just continue playing WOW, good luck with that. I played that for almost 2 years. It just sucks the life out of ya, leaving you with no life whatsoever. While you played that, you just missed out on so many great games. MMORPGs kinda break the game industry, reap all the profits, and feed you more content, leaving you trapped. I love my console systems. I dont need any more MMOs, EQ, WOW, hellgate "disaster" london, and so many I dont want to name. I think out of all of them, WOW is okay, but a big time waster now that I think of it.
If you think your little list can even compare with last year then you must be out of your mind. You even included titles that are not even going to release this year like Gears of War 2. And, I'm also tired, of people responding to comments like you do saying "you obviously haven't done your research". Oh really, its that obvisous? Is there some kind of video game research class I missed out in while in college where I'm suppose to use video game footnotes? Give me a break.
