Assassins Creed (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

Don't get me started on the hype surrounding this game, this new stunner from Ubisoft is definitely going to keep gamers hooked on for months. Coming to next-gen consoles and later to PC, Assassins Creed is already considered by experts as the next big thing. So watch out as the Assassin is coming.


Burnout Domination (PS2)

It's not possible to hate Burnout. The game looks simply brilliant on an age old system (PS2), it delivers an adrenaline rush every time you play it, and it's time for a new game in the series. The game is called Burnout Domination, and it's ready to take-you-down, if you know what I mean.


C&C 3: Tiberium Wars (PC)

The big daddy of sci-fi strategy is coming back, and it's making its presence felt. With some really big promises to keep, C&C 3 : Tiberium Wars is surely on every RTS gamers wish list.


Formula One (PS3)

The most genuine adaptation of motor sport is all ready for the PS3, with Formula One brought to us by Sony themselves. The game is flawless and is easily one of the best looking games ever. The game physics and car details are out of this world. Formula One is one big reason to sell your old car for a new PS3.


God of War 2 (PS2)

Kratos is back and he is going to rule the last wave on the PS2. Kratos is eagerly awaited by millions of fans of the last God of War. So remember before you throw your old PS2 out for the nex-gen consoles, that for more Kratos action you better keep it intact.


Halo 3 (Xbox 360)

Microsoft's biggest gaming asset and America's favorite hero, the Master Chief is ready for Next-Gen. He's coming to face a new enemy, with more details on his armor and more ammo in his gun. I can already see pre-orders going through the roof for this one.


Hellgate London (PC)

From the people, who worked on Diablo, comes a jaw dropping visual spectacle called Hellgate London. The plot revolves around demons and their invasion of earth, with London as the last remaining human city. So get ready to save the human race, with a trip to London. But do carry extra ammo, as London is very expensive.


Huxley (PC)

Based on the Unreal 3 engine and brought to us by Webzen, this is an MMORPG ready to take over the real world. Amazing graphics are guaranteed, what we wait for is the gameplay. But what we have seen till now, we know we are going to love killing creeps or whatever we have to kill for as long as we can.


Lost Planet (Xbox 360)

Lost Planet by Capcom is an Xbox 360 exclusive. The game is all about survival and struggle, the game will be launching early this year. If have been following the game you would know there is a lot of action guaranteed, with action on foot as well as mechs. A must buy for all Xbox 360 owners.


Mass Effect (Xbox 360)

A Sci-Fi RPG based in the future, this ones a keeper. With amazing visuals and unique gameplay aspects, combing character building with awesome gun battles, this is one RPG to look forward to. An Xbox exclusive, this ones is worth a buy.


Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)

Enough can't be said about MGS4; this is as big as gaming can get. With the most well received game trailer at E3 and the most legendary character in gaming i.e. Snake, this game is meant for greatness. Easily the biggest title on the PS3 and probably in gaming this year. Count me among the millions of fans, all ready for some Solid Action.


Motorstorm (PS3)

Dirt bike, trucks, airplanes and dune buggies, they have it all. This is off road racing with a twist, and a major one, I might add. So hit the dirt and smell the oil, because this is racing for real me. All you night-racing-customization pansies can sit at home and keep decorating your precious Mazda. As for the men, wait a few months, oh yeah and you will need a 600$ PS3, so you better be rich.


Spore (PC)

The master chief is all ready to keep you glued to your PCs, and I aint talking about Halo. It's Mr. Will Wright the creator of Sims, who is set to teach you evolution, gaming style. The game is Spore and it teaches you about how life evolved, with your own world to manage. Its like Sims from the start of life, with innovative gameplay and great graphics. We can expect another legend.


Unreal Tournament 2007 (PS3/PC)

Ok what do we get when we take, a big franchise, the most awesome game engine, and the most powerful gaming system in the world, UT2007. The long running series comes to the PS3 and PC this year and it's ready to rock.


World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade (PC)

I won't waste anyone's time by saying that WOW is going to be "Awesome". The game has the stats to prove the same, with a whooping 7 million players already online. It will expand the best online gaming experience ever, and reach even deeper into the world of gaming. So just wait for a few more weeks and get ready to experience the World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade.


Def Jam Icon (Xbox360, PS3)

Wrestling and Hip-Hop are like the two pillars of entertainment for youth today. So, what better than to merge the two? Giving you a very popular franchise called Def Jam. This time around the developers say that game is true to its title and you will experience the lifestyle of a Hip-Hop artist. The crazy moves and finishing combo is what excites me about the game. Oh yeah, did I mention that it is on the Next-Gen consoles? So, you can expect those Hip-Hop babes to look better than they ever did before.


World In Conflict (PC, Xbox360)

An RTS that will challenge the best in the category, WIC is ready to hit stores this year. The game is visually stunning and will set high standards in the RTS genre. Loosely based on real events that took place in 1989, the game will feature a rich story line, where the world is in conflict.


Lair (PS3)

A PS3 exclusive, Lair is in a different league altogether. The game revolves around Dragons and Dragon riders, something that will look amazing on the next-gen graphics of the PS3. You will be riding a dragon and fight other dragon riders, simply mind-blowing. I don't want to sound like a PS3 fanboy, but this is one game that will make the PS3 a great buy.


Half Life 2: Episode 2(PC)

Gordan Freeman is the poster boy of FPS gaming. Well, the almost invincible and cursed Freeman is coming back for Episode 2 and the expectations are higher than the Citadel itself. The world was shocked to know that in one of the upcoming episodes, one of the main protagonists, namely Gordon and Alyx will die. This makes the game even more anxious that which one, everyone knows that they can't kill Gordon, or can they?


G.R.A.W 2 (Xbox360)

A major hit on the Xbox 360, G.R.A.W is amongst the most played games in the World. With the announcement of G.R.A.W 2 gamers on the Xbox 360 have something to look forward to. The game will add more elements to its already solid gameplay, making the best a little better.


Dark Sector (PC, XBox360)

If you guys remember Dark Sector was used to show the capabilities of a Next-Gen system. Well, the game is ready to rock your world, and it's gonna do it this year. With gameplay videos and other details coming in every other week, this game is just around the corner.


The Darkness (PC)

Based on a comic The Darkness is an FPS with a few creepy extensions. Armed with a gun and serpents coming out of your body, the Darkness is something unnatural. But as most gameplay videos depict, the game will be full of action and gore. Surrender to the darkness.


Crackdown (XBox360)

Crackdown is GTA meets Robocop meets NFS meets Xbox 360, it's a GTA-styled game with car chases and a superhuman Cop and it's on the Xbox 360. With eye-poping visuals and plenty of stuff to blow up, I can see another major hit for the Xbox 360.


Left 4 Dead (PC)

Its always been fun bumping off Zombies. Although it lacks some innovation in the story department, this time again in Left 4 Dead, you can see that a group of 4 individuals are left behind as they combat Zombies. Wow! I say bring me more.

STALKER (PC)

Stalker has been delayed so many times that we have lost count. How many was it 30-40 times? But it's finally set for release and this time we are hoping it keeps its promise. This FPS based on a real event will be hitting stores sometime in the coming months.


Dead Rising (Xbox 360)

The game is no Gears of War, but is definitely better-looking than most games out there. The zombies look dead alright, but they could look better. The gore is as gory as possible and the blood-splash looks genuine. There are some really good twists and turns in the game and the action can be very entertaining. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an Xbox 360.

BioShock is one which I overlooked (thanks Vod in the other thread)

Harker, an excellent new game (thanks Despare), trust me guys, all you XBoxers are gonna LOVE this one!!

You can add more to this list if you want. Name and a short description will do. No need to worry about the platform. Usually a best seller game eventually ends up coming on all platforms anyway.

I dont think so. If you got an 8800 series card and updated to DX10, you are pretty much in line for all games come 2009. So hold your breath and keep rushing to your nearest Wal Mart when the new games hit the shelves.:D

btw...Call of Duty 3 is coming too. Looks like its gonna be a busy(and happy) year for all gamers of the 360 box.:D

The much awaited game, "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl" will hit stores later this month, the game's developer, GSC, said.

GSC revealed that Stalker is a bit deeper than the standard linear first person shooter game, and gives players the feeling of being in the living world, with events happening outside of the player's missions. Besides, the user interface (UI) offers players a range of choices much like role playing games, and assigns tasks to characters like in RPGs.

As such, GSC says Stalker combines deep RPG like game play with action elements of a FPS, together with impressive visuals and graphics.

The game, previously called Stalker: Oblivion Lost, has a storyline and setting that revolves round the infamous Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Ukraine that exploded in 1986. While the explosion killed not so many people, the harmful effects of radiation continue.

Stalker, the game, features a fictional universe that postulates a second explosion at Chernobyl two decades later. This time around, the radiation causes quite a few deaths, Cancer, and what's more - mutated creatures of all shapes and sizes. On the brighter side, it turns ordinary artifacts into items of considerable value.

In "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl" the player plays "stalker", a sort of scavenger who tries to find anything that might be of value inside the affected zone. As the game begins, the character develops Amnesia, that much tried-and-tested gimmick, so that the only memory he's left with is that he is on a mission to take on a fellow stalker.

'Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl' will be ship to stores via publisher THQ end of this month.
