2008 in Video Games: Console Edition

[Jax]

Other...

Hitman and Mafia 2 for me though most of year I am enjoying and will continue playing Mass Effect over and over. Next year is going to be the year of CO-OP gaming for me and my friends with...

Aliens, Flashpoint 2, DF Angel Falls, Rogue Warrior, ST:O, Creed 2 (yes co-op) and Mass Effect 2.

Mafia 2 aint coming out this year.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames - The first was awesome, and I expect this one to be awesomer

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Duh!

Far Cry 2 - I liked the first one.

other - Ghostbusters: The Video Game, if it actually comes out his year (though I won't hold my breath)

If handhelds count, all I'm really interested in right now are SimCity Creator (I'm hoping for a decent *portable* SimCity game) and Lego Batman. May get NHL 09, but for PC. The DS Kingdom Hearts game looks intriguing too, actually.

EndWar!

 

[clint g]

The games im getting are Tales of Vesparia, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, Disguia 3, EndWar, Fallout 3, and Command and Conquer Red Alert 3

Of course, all of this can change depending on how these games are reviewed (though Red Alert 3 is probably going to be a must get game simply due to franchise loyalty )

You were doing so well til you got to EndWar

IIRC, you're the other TrekBBS Shenmue fan, right?

 

[Mistral]

COD5 and HAWX (oh, shit, here comes those guys in dark sunglasses and suits).

 

[Skywalker]

Too Human
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Call of Duty: World at War

Also Fallout 3, maybe. I haven't decided on Red Alert 3 or EndWar. I'm not a huge RTS fan, but I love the RA series, and EndWar's voice controls are intriguing.

COD5 and HAWX (oh, shit, here comes those guys in dark sunglasses and suits).

HAWX (EXTREME!) got pushed back to 09 actually.

LOL yeah, I'm one of the rare creatures known as a shenmue fan.

All I have to say about EndWar is that any game that lets me drop giant metal rods from space has to be cool

I enjoyed the first Shenmue, and even bought the seconds one, but then I never really played it all that much.
