This is a question that always seems to come up towards the end of the year. What will we be treated to next year?

Well if this year is anything to go by then we should be in for some real gems/treats. Final fantasy has been abuzz for a while now and yet no release date has been confirmed....I am leaning towards to a release some time next year. I could be wrong and they manage to get it out this year, but I doubt it as there has been no word on a release date at all.

God of war 3 is another game that is all abuzz and sony is playing it close to the chest and have only given up some trailers on the game. Also due to midway's fall I doubt we will see a mortal kombat game anymore which is a real let down. It also means namco and capcom no longer have to worry about the best fighting game war anymore. Tekken and street fighter have never really tried to compete against each other simply because street fighter relies on the special moves where as tekken is more about technique. However it does put tekken above the mortal kombat franchise now.

What of any new FPS and RTS and even RPG's coming? Well who knows? We do know that there is a bioshock 2 coming and even the collector's edition of fallout 3 which will probably come out next year. Of course there is call of duty modern warfare 2 coming and its slated to be one of the big releases, mostly due to good marketing.

We are also due to get treated to one of sony's other faithful mascots soon, ratchet and clank a crack in time. It's a real shame we haven't seen a new jak and daxter yet or even crash bandicoot......could be naughty dog is putting all their efforts into Uncharted 2.
