Last year, I was a total SSBB junkie and I couldn't go 3 days without going on the Smash Bros. Dojo website. Now that it's out, I was wondering what games that will come out this year that either you or I are waiting for impatiently.

For me it's:

Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood
and Guitar Hero: On Tour!

What games are you waiting for?

1. Brothers in Arms:Hell's Highway
2. Mercenaries 2:World in Flames
3. Fallout 3
4. Too Human
5. Fable 2
6. New POP

PS: In that order.

Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning.

Collector's Edition Preordered. Zomg.

Fable 2
Dead Space
Left 4 Dead
Rock Band (yes, I'm Australian)
Silent Hill: Homecoming
and possibly Alan Wake

Force Unleashed - the game looks fantastic
Gears of War 2 - not the biggest fan of gears but want to see how the second one does
Halo Wars - I enjoyed Halo's storyline, and also I want to see how a console RTS will work

Well, there's the Strong Bad game coming out. I trust the skilled hands over at Telltale to handle it.
Um... can't think of many upcoming releases I'm interested in. There's a bunch of older games I plan to get, but... uh... yeah, nothing for quite some time.

fable 2
halo wars
force unleashed
gears 2
huxley (although ive began to wonder if it isnt just a big hoax)
and rock band
(australians arnt the only ones who are still waiting i think the developer hate everyone who speaks english and live on an island it must confuse them or something)

-Fallout 3: Oh, the nostalgia. Bethesda better doesn't screw this up. (Hated Oblivion)
-Left 4 Dead: The coop focus seems interesting.
-Starcraft 2: It's the sequel to Starcraft, what more do you have to know.
-Spore: looks like it could be fun.

Seriously the only games I am waiting for are metal gear solid 4,
spore, and little big world. I am actually waiting till june 12 to get the 80 gig mgs4 bundle only 499 canadian. Yay me.

I'm saving up to go overseas next year so I have limited my game purchases this year to 1.

Force unleashed

I can't think of any better use for a wiimote than pretending it's a lightsabre.

-Alone in the Dark - I wasn't interested until the first gameplay trailer. I'll be happy if the game is at least half as good as it looks
-Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Looks like Jedi Knight 2 on crack
-Halo Wars - Halo + RTS, I know it will be a trainwreck, but I have to see it
-Silent Hill: Homecoming - I really hope they don't screw it up
-Gears of War 2 - Loved the first, I just hope this one is longer

Fallout 3
Brutal Legend
The Force Unleashed
Borderlands
(I have all of those on preorder right now)

I just saw a couple in the new GI that look really cool - Darksiders, Damnation, the new Banjo Kazooie game - uh, not sure if those are this year or 2009 but I'll still keep an eye on 'em

EDIT: OH,OH, and the new Prince of Persia game too

Brutal Legend
Rock Band
Soul Calibur IV
Force Unleashed (I'm definitely not a star wars nerd, but the concept looks cool)
inFamous (Haha. I laugh in the face of your punctuation)
Killzone 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Guitar Hero IV, so I can laugh at how pathetic it is.
Banjo Threeie for the same reason.

Must haves for me:

Left 4 Dead
Men of War

Games I want, but I'm not as excited about:

Panzerkrieg: Burning Horizon 2
Gears of War 2
Warhammer Online

Brutal legend
Gears of War 2
Farcry2
Endwar (is that out yet?)
Deadspace (looks like one of EA's small number of good games)
Left4dead

The truth is I will only end up getting half of them but I can dream.

Spore
Fallout 3
Left 4 Dead
Inevitable Pro Evo release
Fable 2 (Not so much looking forward to it as hoping to Christ that it isn't a piece of rotting monkey feces)

Fallout 3
Mercenaries 2
Halo Wars

Too human, I like it all.
And Force unleashed I will enjoy throwing stormtroopers out airlocks.

Indigo_Dingo:

Banjo Threeie for the same reason.

Not to be annoying, but it's "Banjo-Kazooie: Nut's and Bults." Unless of course they're making two seperate games, at which point, feel free to cyber-slap me.

Anyway, in this order:

Prince of Persia: Heir Apparant
MGS4: Guns of the Patriots (Got to get a PS3 first)
Mirror's Edge
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (Is that this year?)

These are my most wanted games (of course, the actual list I have is longer).

The Conduit

Tales of Symphonia

Soma Bringer

Star Wars The Force Unleashed

Last i heard it was called Banjo Threeie. This makes it sound slightly less lame. Well, I say slightly...

Hello? i am all for the games above, so i wont list them again, but what about "Battlefield Bad Company"? It is a faced paced military fps, with a new twist. FULLY DESTRUCTABLE ENVIROMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The multiplayer is going to be awesome ( a series standerd), but DICE has put a huge emphasis on the singleplayer ( a first for the series). It comes out june 23rd in the U.S. A demo is coming out june 6th. Sorry about all the foriegn people, but i don't have any foriegn release dates. By the way, i am not a battlefield nerd, i just saw X-Play's preview and a few gamplay-beta videos. Fully Destructable Enviroments are a first for a good fps, and i can't wait for both the game and the demo.

O.k., I looked. That sounds so very very lame that I think a part of me died.

I have a lot on my list, but I'm looking forward to Dawn of War 2 above almost all of them, but that's next year.

tomb raider underworld: i played tomb raider legend for free on gametap and i fell in love, think assasins creed free running combined with tomb raider puzzles. so i think they have redeemed themselves for the past, and i also loved the story line and i would buy it just to find out what happens next

spore:does this need explanation? its really freaking exciting

splinter cell conviction: i love and am spoiled by this series. i fell in love with stealth action when i played the first and cant find a good stealth action outside of it

soul caliber 4: darth vader!!! yes! win! love SC its the best fighting mechanic ever done
star craft 2: first game ever i fell in love with i think. and now its finally getting a sequel!! excellent.

the agency: yes! MMO with a persistant world = win and without fantasy=win, and with fps= win and with stealthy spying stuff= win. cant forget the rumored absence of a subscription fee. this may be the only memorperger that ill ever play.

portal 2: duhhh no question about it.

sonic unleashed: a return to form for sonic whihc might make this his finally succesful transitoin to 3d

prince of persia:heir apparent: this will be chill for all the reasons found in my other thread about platformers http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.60611

brutal legend: well its by tim schaefer need i say more? yes i do. its voiced by jack black, and its main tool of destruction is a metal powered axe! i mean can you get any more awesome?!

mirrors edge: itll be so cool, ive been hoping for a parkour inspired game for a while and this could be what ive been waiting for. its starting to look freaking awesome!

the force unleashed for wii: im really excited to be able to pick people up with the force and throw them, and with the wii controls this could rock some serious shit!

MGS4
Spore
Silent Hill 5
Resident Evil 5
Resistance 2
Motorstorm 2
Little Big Planet
Fallout 3
Left 4 Dead

Im sure theres more but those are the main ones.

gears of war 2 is my big one i have my free t-shirt and cat ears on standby and the next tales of symphonia i guess if they ever realease it in england.

I'd say Warhammer online is one I'm waiting on most of all

stompy:

1. Brothers in Arms:Hell's Highway
2. Mercenaries 2:World in Flames
3. Fallout 3
4. Too Human
5. Fable 2

PS: In that order.

Right off the bat you've nailed my personal top one, Fallout 3. I am a huge fan of 1 and 2, and I've been getting my fallout fix from the reviews of whats done on fallout 3 thus far and playing Stalker to tide me over. But the sad part is the release date, and this is a first for me, that I'm actually waiting on a game to come out, other than that last week for Crysis but that doesn't count cause the wait was on the super computer being built to run it.

So..

1: Fallout 3 (Loved fallout, loved oblivion, therefore will probably love Fallout made with the Oblivion engine in an unhealthy way)

2: Stalker: Clear Skys (the much awaited follow up to Stalker, and unlike the hollywood's shameful efforts, if Nightwatch is anything to go by then Russian sequals actually better their predecessor rather than flog all of the old ideas again and again til no one cares if the 'hero' lives or dies anymore.

3: World in conflict: Soviet Assault
And let me just add World in conflict is the best new and most refreshing RTS I've playing in a long long time, and consider I've played RTS's since the original Dune, ie the very first RTS ever made anywhere, which came on 5 three and a half inch floppy disks on an Amiga 500, and that's a long way back on the scale.

4: There's another Brother in Arms coming out? I'm sure to get that too if I see it, so long as it's a bit more creative than the second one.

PS: There was not a damn thing wring with Doom 3. The only game I know of to literally make people cry while playing it. That's my kinda game. It made Halo look like the non-event it was.

Fallout 3
Brutal Legend
The Force Unleashed
Borderlands
Left 4 Dead
Rock Band
Alone in the Dark
Spore
Halo Wars
Stalker: Clear Skies
I need to cut this list down if my savings are to survive.

I think you mean "Little Big Planet". (Unless the title is different for Canada.)

Metal Gear Solid 4, Mercenaries 2 & Little Big Planet.
