Most Anticipated Games of 2008 Part 2

Welcome back folks to my most anticipated games of 2008. Yesterday I talked about three pretty different games and today, I will be talking about three more and why I am anticipating them. Lets get started again.

Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)

I had this in last year's but due to the fact that it got delayed, it is not crossed over into 2008. The thing that made or break this game for me was if there was going to be any online in it because it was rumoured this time last year that it would and eventually during last year, I was happy to find out that it will indeed have that feature hence it is a confirmed purchased. Unfortunately though, there is no official release date as to when its coming out here. Its been suggested that it wont be out here until the summer since it wasn't shown on the release schedule or whatnot. That will be crap if it is since its coming out in over a month in the US.

As I said last year, I really enjoyed Melee and its various modes and hopefully Brawl will surpass it with its new adventure mode and new characters into the fray, although not all of them I can go with (Pokemon Trainer, I'm looking at you). Hopefully, some people on here I know of are getting it so we can have great battles online and hopefully its done well and not laggy, like I have seen with DBZ BT 3 on the Wii.

Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)

I believe pratically everyone was shocked and/or disheartened when they saw that this game was delayed from its original October 2007 release date to its Q2 2008 date for the time being. This is perhaps a lot of people's most anticipated game of this year and you could understand why because of the success of GTAs III, Vice City and San Andreas respectively. It is back once again in Liberty City and was a bit skeptic at first but looking at some of the screenshots, it looks like it will be more along the lines of actual New York, which of course Liberty City was based on. We don't know a whole lot about the game as of now but what we have learned thus far from he trailers and hands-on previews we've been reading around the net, it looks to be interesting. It looks like the GTA series is going in a different direction with the main character Niko coming from Eastern Europe and the storyline looks set to be intriguing also. I have always been a fan of the GTA games and this could be the best one yet. Rockstar haven't let us down yet so I have faith they will pull it off this time.

LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

This is a game that a lot of people are looking forward to now ever since they first saw it and well, I am one of them. It looks to be something totally kind of unique and different than what is out there and the way you can create your own levels using a variety of different objects and that. But in other words, its a game entirely based on creating levels etc, which are apart of certain PC games out there. But you can't put it down that way since from what people have seen of it, they just can't wait to get their hands on it and see what crazy designs and levels they can come up with and its a guarantee that you will see some weird ones out there when this game is released. Its going to be cool to see what sort of designs and levels my friends who have PS3s come up with and checking them out. I might have more fun with this game trying out other people's stuff than my own because I am not that creative a person but that all could change once this hits, which is scheduled to be out in the UK in September according to an article I read a few days ago. This could very well be one of the most popular games of 2008 or one of those critic darlings that sells awfully bad (Psychonauts, anyone?).

Well, thats Part 2 done and dusted! Stay tuned for tomorrow to find out what my final 3 games I am looking forward to most coming out in 08. Keep on Gaming!!
