Rainbow 6 vegas 2 - should be awesome playing co-op over LIVE.
Host controls main guy and 2 teammates, Guest is 4th person in team :)
Much more emphasis on multiplayer this time although I loved the first one.

Lego Batman - just because lego Star Wars was so much fun and the characters are so funny :lol:

GTA IV if it ever gets released

Battlefield: Bad Company

Star Wars: Force Unleashed
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/theforceunleashed/

Splinter Cell: Conviction

any others that are either multi-platform or xbox360 based?
They seem to be releasing so many good titles this past 12 months and the next 12 months :)

'sall about Force Unleashed on the Wii, I can't wait to wave people around with force grip, or stick them with my light sabre.

Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3) - really didn't like the first one but what i've seen of this new one it looks a bit special
Killzone 2 (PS3) - awesome looking and guns, lots of guns along with impressive animation
Alone in the Dark 5 (X360,PS3) - not seen much proper gameplay yet but the little I have seen looks promising.
Banjo Kazooie 3 (X360) - these games used to be on the N64 or Gamecube, platform game that should be good fun.
Soul Calibur 4 (X360,PS3) - Better than all the other 3d fighters :D
Mercenaries 2 (X360,PS3) - Big open world like GTA, but with 2 or 3 player co-op and you destroy stuff with tanks, helicopters etc.
Ninja Gaiden 2 (X360) - Similarish to Devil May Cry but meant to be superior in terms of "depth" :lol:
Saints Row 2 (X360,PS3) - GTA clone, first one was ok, the new one has full proper online co-op for 2 players, imagine GTA in co-op, oh yes :D
Resident Evil 5 (X360,PS3) - Don't need to say anymore.
Bionic Commando - (X360,PS3) - An old NES or SNES or Megadrive game I forget which, being made for the new consoles, only seen some snippets but could be good.
Fable 2 (X360) - RPG action type game, should be pretty good. A friend of mine is one of the lead designers :)

Edit:
Little Big Planet (PS3) - platform game with lots of physics involved with co-op and lots of
user created content.

There are tons more, but I don't have the time at the moment to go looking all of them up

If GT5 is available in the UK in March 2008, I will send the first person to PM me £10 via Paypal :)

This offer does not apply to Prologue! If that's not here by March, someone at SCEE needs castrating! I note that play.com are listing that as 28/03/08 though ;)

I'd say so yes.
Multiplayer on xbox360 is still quite big too but I only really played the single player and loved it :)
bit more tactical than most FPS as you command a team of 3 and send the others to scout/cover etc.

RE5 is going to be 2009 and I wouldn't say Ninja Gaiden was like DMC although it is a sweet game.

I would say most people would put it in competition with DMC Sam.
Both are third person, hack and slash action games, therefore similar :p

As for RE5, MS have it in their current marketing material for 2008, obviously I expect it to
be pushed back as nearly every single big game has been recently but I was just going by that :)

Rainbow 6 was the turdest of turdy games that ever graced my xbox.
