GameDaily's 25 Big Games of 2008

Gears of War 2

Gears of War 2 (Microsoft, November 2008)

Microsoft and Epic Games officially confirmed Gears of War 2's existence a couple of weeks ago at GDC 2008, and now we're counting the days until November rolls around. Expect more gun-toting action, more online fragging and more enhancements to make this a truly exceptional sequel.

    i have played Fallout 1 and 2 since i was 13. i still play it to this day. the only thing i want out of these new developes(which they probably will still **** it up) is that they keep the drugs. the way to inhance your stats in the Fallout were amazing. along with the side affects. i can only hope that these ******* wont screw it up again.

    Yeah, but who's making it? Ready At Dawn? Eat Sleep Play? That's the thing, I think they have enough on their plate this year and they don't want to rush it. It's early 2009 release at the earliest, maybe later on. As for "Coming Soon", that could mean anytime and not entirely "soon". That's like saying GDC 2009 is "coming soon". Well of course it is. But not soon enough. :)

    I'm not sure what the big deal is with Little Big Planet. I agree that it has a lot of potential, but it's an unproven new IP that didn't receive heaps of praise last E3. With that said, I'm interested to see if God of War 3 comes out this year. The back of the God of War PSP manual says "Coming Soon". That usually doesn't mean next year.

    I'm a little concerned as to how we missed Little Big Planet. Did we just decide it didn't hold enough weight? Ah, well, at least we still have those little sock puppets in our hearts. Hmm, maybe we should've added Street Fighter IV...

    My only guess as to why Pokemon beat Ninja Gaiden probably has something to do with Nintendo selling over 155 million Pokemon games. With that said, comparing Pokemon to Ninja Gaiden is like comparing the NFL to some made up league neighborhood kids created. I like Ninja Gaiden and part 2 looks great, but you're picking the wrong battle. Choose a more comparable game.

    We saw Far Cry 2 and weren't thrilled with it.

    Where's Far Cry 2? That is going to be the best. Sabotour?

    it was interesting to me to see a wrestling game out do starcraft 2 or, for the mmo crowd, warhammer online. i suppose wrestling has a bigger audience in the americas but, i'd imagine korea would have something to stay about SC2. anyway, to be fair the sales for console games vastly overshadow any pc title's sales, much to my dismay. this would explain the under representation of the pc games in the list.

    It is pathetic that Halo Wars is generating more hype than Starcraft 2. For that matter, it is pathetic that WoW still generates more hype than Starcraft 2. I think it is safe to say that Starcraft and Diablo are definately Blizzard's best games, and most ignored by the company itself. You'd think that when a nation's national sport is your companies video game, it is time to step it up a notch and not repackage crappy MMO's with a few new levels or items.

    This list is pretty good overall. Not liking it means ur trash.
