TheStreet.com rattles off the big games of '08

You have truly forgotten the subject of this post. It's Big Games, not Big Games for Bigger Flops. That's coming next week.

Ehhh, I don't think all too many PS3 games sell that well. MGS4 will probably be a big seller, but as for the rest of the one's you listed, not too much expected from them.

And try commas, they work wonders for lists.

It's glitchy but the only sandbox game (aside from Assassin's Creed and Crackdown.... but I didn't like crackdown and it only took a couple hours) that I finished.

AI can't drive worth a shit though so several missions are harder than they should be. Best fun?

Okay, okay. Do what you will. *braces self*

Lots of awesome games for 2008 CONFIRMED!

I've heard some pretty bad things about Army of Two though. I was disappointed to hear them too, as I was hoping for a good buddy-shooter. A game MADE for co-op sounds awesome. Still hoping for the best though.

I can't decide between MGS4 or DMC4 for the game I want the most, but in the end I'll be playing both anyway, so why bother deciding? KZ2, SC4, LBP, and Patapon are also all but purchased as well.

I also heard some bad buzz on Army of 2 but then I also read some hands on reviews that make it seem like it should be ok. Especially with the extra dev time they have now from the pushback. I love co-op I just wish COD4 wouldve had campaingn co-op =( That wouldve rocked!!

Definitely Gears 2! How could they not mention the sequel to the unanimous GOTY for 2006, which some still consider the best game on Xbox? It's gonna make some serious dough.

I really doubt that GoW2 will be out by this year, it was just wishfull thinking. Maybe around the time UT3 for 360 is released we will get some info on it.

Wow a true 360 fanboy admitting he owns a PS3 and is actually looking forward to some PS3 games... Watch out Fenixknight b/c u might get a smoke grenade stuck in your head while being team raped...

I own all 3 consoles and am simply a fan of games..not consoles.. Im lookig forward to..

MGS 4
Resident Evil 5 (if even in 08)
Ninja Gaiden 2
Spore
Little Big Planet
White Knight Chronicles
SSB Brawl
Gran Turismo HD
Devil May Cry 4
Resistance 2 (if even announced)
Ghostbusters

I would really love to see a new Onimusha game for the PS3.. That series was awesome...How about a new Donkey king adventure for the wii..A new Starfox?.. I know re-hashing old IP's doesnt always breed great games but isnt what Nintendo has survived on for all these years??

Im not looking forward to Army of two or Haze... After reading hands on of both games they both seem average at best...I had high expectations for both of them but I think they are going to suck... Especially Army Of 2..Seriously what can EA do right other than Madden...

So you opened an account and in both your posts you have mentioned me.....you sure your not the stalker?
Or should I call you a troll that trolls on me?

BTW I am a fan of games. If there were no good games on the PS3 I wouldnt have bought it you moron. Truth be told the 360 is still a way better console as far as gaming is concerned.

@fenixknight

You can call me whatever you want. It wont bother me. You dont have to get your G-String in a whad because I gave you a jab or two... Have some fun man....Anyway, I have been posting on Engadget, joystiq, PS3 Fb, X360 Fb and NW FB for a while now but my e-mail account associated with that ID is no longer in existance so I created a new one. If you use that tiny female brain of yours you might be able to figure out who i am. But then again im sure your to busy trying to download gear of War the pendelum War off of a bit torrent site...

As to your point that the 360 is a better console for gaming *right now* as you said. I have to disagree with you buddy. I guess given the year jump it had on the competetion that it has more titles to choose from and hence probably a larger selection of better games. But, I dont think its a better gaming system. Especially considering I have personally sent my 360 in for repairs a grand total of 4 times and its about to be 5 because of a DVD region problem. And there is also that liitle point that it cost money to play games online and to connect to my wireless network. So, I suppose after paying $150 extra dollars and having a full years headstart its a better console for gaming. I just think it has a few better games.

I feel like the best 360 games are Bioshock,Gears Of War, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Assassins creed, Call Of Duty 4, Orange Box, Blue Dragon and probably Dirt or Forza motorsports 2. What I see there is alot of PC games, First Person shooters and newer titles. So, in the first year of the consoles existance there were not alot of great games to play (sans Dead Or Alive, Gears,Oblivion and Dead rising).

However, with the PS3 you have similar multi platform games (Orange Box, COD 4 and Assassins creed) and some actual original non PC Ip's like Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Uncharted and even the maligned lair. Also, the older IP's like ratchet and Clank and sequels to come with MGS4, Gt HD etc. There are PC games like Unreal Tournament and even Xbox remakes like Sigma.

I agree that right now the 360 has better games. But, if you compare the games at the 1 year mark its really not even close in my mind. Especially when you take into consideration the extra cost associated with a 360 and its propecity to break down. I know I am probably unlucky to have my console break down that many times so i chalk that up to bad luck.

And look at periphials. The six axis controller adds another dynamic to games that doesnt exist on the 360. Sony also has made games for thier PS3 eye (eye of judgement is actually pretty fun) where as Microsofts is only used for chatting.

I just think the PS3 is a better gaming rig but right now it doesnt have as many games. 2008 looks to change all of that and since I own all 3 consoles i hope to see great exclusives all across the board. Im just a little put off with Microsoft right now but it is a great comsole in its own right.

We dont even need to get into the value factor because the PS3 blows away the 360 there. Especially considering what you get out of the box.

Its funny the PS3 started out with the best rig and started taking stuff away for cheaper. The 360 started out with inferior rigs and has added to them for more money. I think that alienates their user base. I know it upsets me I cant get a 360 with built in HDMI because I was an early adopter.

Anyway, I just wanted to give my 2 cents about PS3 vs 360 for gaming...

nah, RE5 has been confirmed TBA 2009

You're very patient?

Was Disgaea 3 announced?

Oh s**t, I didn't get to level 9999 on 2 yet. Need to speed up.

If I was truly patient, I would apply for Korean citizenship just so I could get a KSSN to get into the open beta of this game.

But I have to wait, wait, wait... WAIT! Damnit, I want me some colorful shooting action. Especially when characters from DJ Max are making the lineup....

Damn that was funny, lmao!!! +1

jennifer love has some of the most softest ti....oh hi :)

I was thinking the same thing!

This website officially gets my middle finger, and a spit at their feet for being so ignorant of one of the most highly anticipated sequels in game development.

Skate?

Played it on 360 at a buddies house. Very SWEEEEET!!
Tony Hawk has some comp =)

PS

Yeah you shouldve bought a 360 first...then a PS3.

I think it's the other way, too many elements have conspired against Rockstar. They are no longer on the top-selling platform (but then again, they are spanning two with respectable attach rates), Rockstar has also dealt with bad press in all kinds of ways since the release of San Andreas

GTAIV will be big, don't get me wrong, but it won't be San Andreas big
