So you show a stuff on God of War II but it isn't included?
Grunge @ Feb 2nd 2007 12:57PM
Three of those ten games are made by the same developer, and are exclusive to a console.
COBRA @ Feb 2nd 2007 12:59PM
HA!! HALO3 is #1 yeah i can agree with that!!
Matt @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:02PM
Who cares about Kristen Bell's involvement with Assasin's Creed? All we need is Jade Raymond.
Kevin Archibald @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:02PM

So Spore is not 2007?
BillyBastion @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:19PM
i know ill get slammed for this, but im getting weary of all things halo.
i mean after gears of war, microsoft better make sure halo 3 gives you a handjob while playing it, otherwise it will just be a letdown.
Ocho @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:19PM
I agree the Game Trailers do some nice production work. Their understated but intelligent presentation and tone is both refreshing and appreciated considering the G4s and Spike TVs of the world.
Abhinav @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:27PM
Fantastic trailer/preview, i am actually looking forward to each of thoes games. Anyone know the exact URL of the trailer so i can download it?

Jeff @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:41PM
Spore, GTA4 and Final Fantasy XIII are pretty much the only major games I'm looking forward to in 2007 (though FFXIII I know is going to be 2008 for the US, but hey, no region coding on the PS3!)
I'm curious about Mario Galaxy and it *might* be the game that convinces me to buy a Wii. But probably not. It would have to be a real return to form for Mario.
Evan @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:41PM
Anyone's personal anticipated games list will depend on personal taste. A large number of people anticipate Pokemon games! I'm a platformer fan, so my most anticipated list would include Banjo Kazooie. So, these lists are really meaningless.
generaldane @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:41PM
halo 3 is not even on my list
Joe_ @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:45PM
What the heck what about Burn out?, GOd of War 2?, HL ep 2?.
Bunch of ****, even tough I like some of the games I don't agree not even 50% with it....
Charles @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:46PM
mine:
1) Smash Bros Brawl
2) MP:Corruption
3) Halo 3
4) Mario Galaxy
5) Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
6) Zelda: Ocarina available on Virtual Console
7) Assasin's Creed
8) Sonic: Secret Rings
9) Wii Music (or Elite Beat Agents 2)
10) Sadness
azesino @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:48PM
Halo 3 is probably the most anticipated game of all time, with preorders of a game being released more than 8 months away mounting 250,000 I dont know if it will reach 3 millions by the time the game gets realesed
Jonah Falcon @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:51PM
No Spore = no credibility.
BlindsideDork @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:57PM
Isn't spore coming out closer to 2008? I know Spore on DS is...I thought they pushed back PC spore.
Geovany @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:01PM
Yeah! Crysis Baby...."The Game of the Year" for 2007
Grindstone @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:02PM
Halo 3 -- even if it does suck, I still need to finish the storyline.
No doubt about it, 2007 will be the year for gaming. I am having a hard time just trying to get my personal list down to 3, since I am a casual gamer and do not have a lot of time to dedicate to gaming due to family and work. Still, at the moment those games are Halo 3, Crysis & Assissin's Creed. Admittedly, I do not have a machine that can run Crysis, so that may change to Mass Effect depending upon finances throughout the year.
Jonah Falcon @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:05PM
"So you show a stuff on God of War II but it isn't included?"
They showed stuff from Fable 2 and didn't list it, too.
Oh, and Spore is due 2nd half of 2007.
mike @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:13PM
I am def jonesing for the majority of these titles.
like,
Assassins Creed
Mass Effect
Galaxy
Prime 3
Brawl
God of War 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
But others I eagerly wait are
DQ Wii
FFXII Revenant Wings
GRAW 2
Huxley
Blue Dragon
Burnout 5
SSX Blur
Sonic & Secret Rings
Diaster
Projec Hammer
Lair
Geez those are alot of games!
theLoneYoshi @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:30PM
Halo 3!! Good choice... though I continue to wonder why MGS4 wasn't #2, and why SSBB was pretty low on the list. And I agree with anyone who wanted Spore up there. Otherwise... good list.
MoonfirePewPEwPEw @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:34PM
"Spore, GTA4 and Final Fantasy XIII are pretty much the only major games I'm looking forward to in 2007 (though FFXIII I know is going to be 2008 for the US, but hey, no region coding on the PS3!)"
LOL@ you thinking FF13 will come out in Japan before 2008. Don't expect FF13 in the US until 2009.

And Spore.
And possibly Hellgate London.
burger boy @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:41PM
No matter what kind of list they come up with people will always have there own opinion! I don't believe any Wii game should be up there but thats what I feel and yes I do agree that Halo3 will be the best game of the year and Gears of War which was great will have nothing on it!
fox619_master @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:41PM
soz for all the spelling mistakes
Jake @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:43PM
Gonna be a great year. I'm not sure, though, that all of the titles that they list will even show up in 2007. But, assuming they do, here's my list. I'll even include PS3 and PC games that I won't get to play, along with Wii games I might get to play:
1)Mass Effect
2)Halo3
3)Super Mario Galaxy
4)HL Ep2
5)Fable2
6)Bioshock
7)Command & Conquer (PC preferable, I'll get 360)
8)Forza2
9)God of War II
10)Tie between MGS4 and Metroid
My list may be skewed 360 because it is all I got right now, so naturally I look forward to them more.
Most over-hyped games right now: Spore and Crysis. They will both likely be very good, but many people are screaming GoTY already just because of technical prowess of the games. What's to say Crysis isn't just FarCry with awesome graphics. I didn't like FarCry anything. And Spore doesn't even look fun to me.
FFXIII will NOT be in NA this year.
AJ @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:43PM
How is Super Smash Bros Brawl not 1 (or atleast 2)
inlogic @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:45PM
no fable 2? bah
Jonah Falcon @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:46PM
Looking at Game Trailer's so-called "lists", they have a Scariest Game list and fail to include Thief or Thief 2.
They have zero cred.
And not including something by WILL WRIGHT is like listing the national capitals of the world and not including Washington, DC.
Erik Novak @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:47PM
AJ, because the only ones who really care about Smash Bros. are hardcore Nintendites.
AJ @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:48PM
And how does Assasain's Creed beat MGS4, SMG, and BS? and the only people who care about Halo 3 are xbox players.
Geovany @ Feb 2nd 2007 2:49PM
!Oh noo I forgot on the 20 games list for 2007:
21.Hellgate London
Jake @ Feb 2nd 2007 3:00PM
Please, nobody bash other peoples' lists. It is so pointless. It isn't like there is one correct list.
The nice thing about this year is that you can't make a top 10 list without leaving out a few games that you are really looking forward to. I left AC out of my list and I am psyched for it.
Hiro @ Feb 2nd 2007 3:04PM
1. MGS4
2. FFXIII
3. SSBB
4. White Knight Story
5. Dracula X: Chronicles
6. FFXII: Revenant Wings
7. Lair
7. Warhawk (loved the original!)
9. Lost Odyssey (better be better than Blue Dragon...)
10. Spore (like my PC will even run it...)
Sorry, but at this point there is no way Halo 3 is going to live up to the hype.
~Hiro
samfish @ Feb 2nd 2007 3:11PM
Ugh, are people really still into GTA? I was starting to think the love fest for that game was finally over with.
Honestly, I'm not sure I could make a top 10 list if I tried, at this point.
SSBB if it has online is #1 on my list, and I'm eagerly awaiting Mario Galaxy, but after Sunshine, I'm a bit skeptical, admittedly.
That goes for Sonic and the Secret Rings, too, though on a much lesser scale.
There are a bunch of other games I think llok very interesting on all systems, but those ones are the only games I'd consider putting on a Must Buy list.
...and even then, they all have the aforementioned caveats.
MoonfirePewPEwPEw @ Feb 2nd 2007 3:17PM
"Sorry, but at this point there is no way Halo 3 is going to live up to the hype. "
LOL@ you bashing Halo3 talking about it not going to live up to the hype, and you put MGS4 and FF13 (why the fuck did you put a 2008 title in here?) high on your list
nintendo fan @ Feb 2nd 2007 3:25PM
No Spore? This country makes me sick.
Hiro @ Feb 2nd 2007 3:42PM
Sorry, but there is a huge difference between the amount of hype Halo 3 is getting and either of those titles. Also, those both come out this year in japan.
Also, I never said Halo 3 was going to be bad--just that I doubt it can live up to the hype it's getting.
MGS4 and FFXIII are getting a lot of hype, I'll agree, but no one is making videos scrutinizing frame-by-frames of the trailers to my knowledge. Bungie is releasing tons of teaser info (weapons and such) to create this hype. It doesn't matter if the game sucks (not saying it will but if it does) if you sell 2M copies on preorder.
