Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise
Meh

Ninja Gaiden II

Too Human
Meh

Fable 2
Ugh

Halo Wars
Hmmm

Gears of War 2
Meh

GOW2 and Fable2 both look intriguing, but I want to see more.

The only two can't-miss must-haves for me this year so far are Fallout 3 and LittleBigPlanet.

MGS4 just dropped out of the running with it's 90-minute chore revelation.

Looks like a great year for the POOPBox....Meh!

The only problem with Fable 2 is that is one of those game like Oblivion that will suck every last drop of avalible time you have.I didn't manage to finish Oblivion and it was awesome but it requiered serious dedication.

I love Viva Piñata.Nothing like ESBR aproved Animal cruelty :D

Too Human Um..Pass.

Gears of war 2 well is going to be great duh.

Ninja Gay-den 2 FTW,I like games like NG,Devil May cry and God of War.

Banjo 3 sure I'll keep an eye on it.

Halo wars Nein.

How dire.

Lots of Too Human hate on this board. I, for one, am still holding excitement for that game. The Diablo style play intrigues me and the plot concept alone has me completely sold.

NG2 is also intriguing. I just played the Xbox original for the first time recently. The story is wholly laughable but the gameplay is pretty deep and rewarding. I'll say I'm excited for a mostly mindless romp through faux-world cities.

Fable 2, I think, should be great. My only complaint for the original was the surprisingly short length, so if they give me maybe another 10 hrs of story line, I think I'll be happy. My recommendation: take it for what it is and don't listen to the hype. With that in mind you'll probably enjoy it. And for god sakes don't listen to a word Peter Moleneux says.

Gears 2, I think, won't be much more impressive or different from the original. But I loved the original despite it's lame story and cookie cutter characters. Just give me another 8-12 hr experience of shooting things and cutting them up with chainsaws, and I'll be happy.

The rest of the titles however, in my opinion, are full of meh.

I just sharted at this great news! NOT!

hmmm, I seem to be the only person who is looking forward to every single one of these titles...

maybe I should get a girlfriend...
