Halo Wars
Normally, I stay away from console RTS games like I would the plague. But after reading that the legendary folks behind Age of Mythology was not only developing this game, but that they started making this game only after reprogramming Age of Mythology to work well on a Xbox 360 gamepad (to ensure better control - the crux of console RTS games), I was sold.
Gears of War 2
The first Gears of War was the reason I bought my first console in over ten years.
Bionic Commando Rearmed
I was a huge Bionic Commando fanboy when it was out on the NES. Now you tell me that I can replay it with co-op and better graphics? YES, PLEASE!
Spore
So large, so imaginative.
Starcraft II
I've never played the original, but it's on my goozex request list. This game just looks sick.
Project Origin
**** the naysayers. I LOVED F.E.A.R. This game is going to own.
