Upcoming Hot Games for 2008! (PS3, 360, Wii, PC)

I rented Wario for my gf and she loves the damn game. I told her it was short but she is one of those complusive people who needs to get every treasure and complete all the little challenges so ti might be a buyer now. I shake my head, she won't play anything 3D, even masterpieces like M64, but some average (albeit damn fine looking) 2D game she is all over.


And I picked up Mario Super Sluggers for $20. Well worth it. It's a fun ass game. It's not amazing but it's a much better version of Wii Sports baseball which is great.
 
Is anyone else other than me enjoying Lego Batman.

The Lego games keep getting better.. this one is so camp it's great....

What next for TT? .. I'm waiting for Lego Wizard of Oz :D:D
 
So I was searching for some Far Cry 2 reviews and found one. It's a bit old, a review from PCGamer UK. 94/100! We might be getting a second blue game up soon!
 
Possibly. Far Cry games have been awfully marmite, I mean I loved the starting locations of the first but when you entered the underground base thing and them monsters showed up - no. I switched off mentally and eventually just stopped playing altogether.

And after seeing them MH3 trailers I'm pretty mega excited for that. Definitely on my to-buy list, along with that MH Unite for the PSP. I've got MHF1 but I dunno, I want to love it but it's held back by craptacular loading times (which was addressed on G2 I hear).

Woah, when did Far Cry 2 come out? Man I am off track.
 
Well looks like the little game that could is now taking down the big boys....Little Big Planet is now the flag ship of the PS3(sorry MGS4 and Uncharted). The reviews are glowing over it and beta testers love it including Mr. Spyker.

Dead Space is reviewed......quite well actually.
LBP is reviewed and taking names..


Bless

Huh? Well, I never did finish the first one.... but for some reason I don't think that will be in the second :p. That sounds very Uncharted-ish.

Mine is coming from Amazon... Eventualy. :( But for only $46. :)
I read one review saying it was a bit short, but I hope it's at least as long as RE4.

DAM YOUR FUN!!! :) I want fun from awkwardness, but if this game lives up to the recent hype about it being scary, I'll be impressed. I should have this game in about 10 days. :( I Have to have a project done by the 27th, so it's probably a good thing.
 
Yay another blue game!

LittleBigPlanet has a mindblowing 96 from Metacritic, making it the best rated game thus far ;)

Dead Space is one point away from becoming a blue game, the PS3 version has 90 on metacritic but the 360 version has more reviews counted so I had to use the 89 from the 360 version.

Also added Saints Row 2 (82) and bolded a few games which have been released but are not scored yet (like Golden Axe or SOCOM).

Rise of The Argonauts is a 2009 game so I struck it out the list.
 
Well didn't you expect LBP to be great?

Anyway... picking up Far Cry 2 and LBP on Tuesday. Then when I get my paycheck next Friday I'll probably grab SOCOM. Got a friend who wants to play me.
 
Far Cry 2 this week! Too bad my local Gamestop gets it on Wednesday :(. Anyway..... That'll be fun.

I still think this thread deserves being a sticky.
 
Updated scores and corrected a few release dates (LittleBigPlanet, among others) but we have 2 new blue games, sure one is a port of a 2007 game (Bioshock) but a great game nevertheless and the other one is Fable II, so both systems (360 and PS3) get a universally praised exclusive on the month of October (I'm talking about LBP).

Far Cry 2 also comes out tomorrow and has a very positive 88, Golden Axe received a very poor 44 so that was one poor addition to the list after all :eek:

Also added Motorstorm: Pacific Rift score, 77, not too bad but I expected higher.

October has treated us better than September I think :) and we still have Fallout 3 and Red Alert 3 to go.

As always corrections are encouraged.

Update: Fable II got demoted to green status with the recent reviews.
Update2: Added SOCOM Confrontation score, a measly 57 which according to Metacritic is "average or mixed" but let's face it, below 60 is just plain bad so they all get the red treatment, it's disappointing to see the PS3 get two blue games only to ruin its streak with a red game.
Update3: Fable II is once again a blue game with a score of 90 points, SOCOM also got promoted to the less unflattering orange color (60 points) among other minor score shifts, also bolded some more games and added scores.
 
Added a few scores, Fallout 3 is yet another new blue game ;)

Also dropped Dead Rising from the Wii list because it's now a 2009 game.
 
^ I dunno man, Warhawk has shown it's got the legs. If they drop the expansion pack prices even more, it might get people back into it again. I keep wanting to, since it's a great game, but never have the time....
