    I saw this link
    http://www.destructoid.com/top-10-most-anticipated-xbox-360-games-of-2008-83879.phtml
    from Digg and I started thinking of whats coming for the 360? If you read some PS3 posts you'll hear how this is the year of the PS3. I don't care if it is or isn't as I've a 360.

    Now that the big release of 2008 has shipped (and I'm not a huge GTA fan) what are the next games we have to look forward to on the 360?

    For me I the ones I'll definitely be getting are

    Supreme Commander
    C&C Kanes Wraith
    Halo Wars

    Gears Of War 2
    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

    What else will be a must have?

    Alan Wake, Fall Out 3 and Gears of War 2.

    I'm not convinced Halo Wars will be up to much.

    Star Wars could be good though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 858 ✭✭✭helios


    Soul Calibur 4

    Lego Indiana Jones

    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,840 ✭✭✭Trev M


    Unreal Tournament 3 out in July , I reckon its gonna sneak up and blow everyone away Gears of War style:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,530 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Alone in the Dark looks promising.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,027 ✭✭✭✭Basq

    True.

    Here are my games and what I have done so far in them:

    GTA IV (So far I've played for about 4 hours)
    Fifa 08 (My most popular game)
    COD4 (Play occasionally online after finishing SP)
    Orange Box (I'm about 5 hours into HL2 and have yet to play the four other games)
    Dirt (Finished career mode but will go back to this game to finish everything in the game.)
    Moto GP 06 (Played once)
    BioShock (Have not played yet. Waiting to finish HL2 first.)
    R6: Vegas (Have not played yet. Waiting to play Bioshock first.)
    Need For Speed: Most Wanted (Have not played yet.)
    Saints Row (Played once.)
    SC: Double Agent (Have not played yet.)
    Football Manager 2006 (Never played)
    King Kong (Played once.)
    Viva Pinata (Played once.)
    Forza 2 (Got into it for a while but sick of it now.)
    Pro Evo 6 (Redundant since I bought Fifa 08.)
    PGR 3 (Never played.)

    Stats.

    Games: 17
    Properly played: 7
    Played once: 4
    Never played: 6



    Basically I pick up bargains between gameshops (rarely) and Adverts. But I don't have enough time to play them all :)

    Games that I will buy though this year:
    Silent Hill 5 (Sounds good)
    Is Resident Evil 5 coming out on 360? If so, mark that on my list too.
    Tomb Raider: Legend (Have PC version and love the Tomb Raider's but never really played it on PC.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,906 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Gears 2, pro evo 2009, fable 2, fallout 3, mgs4, probably a few more.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    Tom Clancy Hawk
    Tom Clancy Endwar (voice control looks interesting)
    Ninja Gaiden II
    Soul Calibur IV
    Star Wars: the Force Unleashed


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,770 ✭✭✭Nedved85


    Grid...Should be really good after the high standard set bt DIRT
    Pro evo 2009,
    Gears 2,

    Nothing else standing out apart from that for me

    (well im waiting for Operation flashpoint 2, the original was brilliant but this game has been in development for years so i might be waiting a while yet!!):o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    Gears 2
    GRiD

    Will probably pick up a tonne of second hand games from the shops as well :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 118 ✭✭redbhoy1888


    Brothers In Arms Hells Highway when it eventually sees the light of day.
    Aliens- Colonial Marines looks promising.
    Battlefield Bad Company will absolutely be bought.
    Pro Evo 2009 if they manage to actually make a game this time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Ninja Gaiden 2 is the big one for me, can't actually think of any other "must have" titles tbh...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey

    I've seen a few post Lego Indy, but what about Lego Batman? Prototype looks pretty cool too, like Crackdown, on crack!


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Prototype looks like it might be amazing. I get a real Assassins Creed feel from it. I really likes AC so this looks terrific!

    Force unleashed sounds extremely promising.

    [x] Have latest soul calibre? Check!
