It really comes down to personal preference. As for me I have gotten 2K8, i'm disappointed there is no franchise mode but I can live. Making a team and going online is tons of fun. League support is fantastic. I just love playing other people online, I have not experienced slow down at all as of yet. Madden of course will have its huge franchise mode. I must say though that the gameplay in 2K8 is the best football gameplay I have ever played. All quarterbacks feel different which is amazing. All players basically have their own distinct feel, it's great. At least rent it, you won't regret it.

Ok well school almost over, time to beat all the games I have gotten since Christmas and refuel for a game packed fall.

5. All Pro Football 2k8

As a huge fan of ESPN NFL 2k5 and hating what EA has done with the NFL license this game is sure to be a breath of fresh air and has potential to be the Sports Game of the Year.

 

4. Mass Effect

A huge rpg experiece. Mass Effect is sure to blow all the minds of gamers. Jam pakced with planets, galaxies, and shooting action mixed with rpg elements this game is sure to be in the running for Game of the Year and possibly overtake The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion as the best rpg available on the XBOX 360.

 

3. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Being one of the few to enjoy and love Call of Duty 3, the makers of Call of Duty 2 return to bring us Call of Duty 4, this time they are ditching the real world World War II genre in favor of a fictional modern war. This game is sure to amaze many. Only problem I have is the war is supposedly fictional. I would have much rather liked a real life war based in Iraq or Afganistan since that is what Call of Duty is known for. But nonetheless this is sure to introduce new gameplay elements, weapons, and a slew of other modern tactics that should appeal to all fans of shooters and Call of Duty.

 

2. Grand Theft Auto IV

Grand Theft Auto returns and this time its Next Gen. Based in a revamped more New York City **** Liberty City, the player takes control of a man who appears to be of Eastern European decent names Niko Bellic. It will be interesting to see what R* can do to freshen up the series a bit after a great trilogy of games on last gen systems as well as two side games released on the PSP and later PS2. Sure to be a contender for Game of the Year, this game is being closely followed by gamers, gta fans, and even politics.

 

Quick recap before I get to number 1.

5. All Pro Football 2k8

EA you better get ready, 2K is back.

4.Mass Effect

BioWare is back with a promising rpg shooter that is sure to appeal to many.

3. Call of Duty 4 Modern Combat

COD is taken on a whole new war.

2. GTA IV

"Things will be different..."

 

NOW THE MOMENT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! MY NUMBER ONE MOST ANTICIPATED GAME OF 2007....

 

1. Halo 3

After 2 system sellers on the original XBOX Bungie is taking their flagship shooter Next Gen in what many gamers believe is a shoo in for Game of the Year. It's time to finish the fight after what many fans (myself not included) were left disgusted by the ending and overall campaign in Halo 2. Halo 3 is here to hopefully offer us and amazing final chapter to the great Halo saga. Mix that in witht he ever popular Halo 3 multiplayer and you have got my most anticipated game of 2007.

 

Thank you for reading my most anticipated games of the year 2007. A year jampacked with games that appeal to anyone and everyone. Cheers, you will see reviews from me for each of these 5 games when they are released.
