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.
