more great games out this year

Dr.Jones · 11-01-2008, 08:52 AM

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

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

Shandy Sam · 11-01-2008, 08:54 AM

Devil May Cry 4 is multi platform coming in Feb apparently :.Dribble:

There's going to be Lego Indiana Jones too.

Dr.Jones · 11-01-2008, 09:19 AM

Lego indiana Jones looks awesome

'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

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"

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

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

Its due for late March.

GTA is due for late April.

Metal Gear Solid is going to be something else from what I hear.

Harry Bo · 11-01-2008, 12:44 PM

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

craiggg · 11-01-2008, 12:48 PM

Can't wait for metal gear solid, megal gear solid 2 was probably my favourite game ever

the lego games look cool too.

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.

Shandy Sam · 11-01-2008, 01:13 PM

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

S.

j_s · 11-01-2008, 02:03 PM

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

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.

Dr.Jones · 11-01-2008, 03:02 PM

you were obviously sheite at it then because it was good

i bet you didnt play past the first couple of missions and thats where it starts getting good once the "training" is done and you get all the weapons
