Most Anticipated Games 2008

Just for fun, I thought that I'd share which games I am most excited about in 2008.

Spore (PC)

From the Maker of Sim City and the Sims comes Spore, a game where you evolve a single-celled organism into a complex Space Faring society. Rather ambitious, I'd say. There are pundits who feel that this could be the "Citizen Kane of video games".



Mario Kart Wii (Wii)

The Mario Kart games are always a blast and the Wii's motion controls should make it even better. (Video from a press conference in Japanese, so audio is optional if you don't understand it.



Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the third in an insanely fun series of fighting games. It just goes to show that you don't need blood and gore to have fun.



Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Various)

This game is going to be incredible. Its being treated as a Star Wars film with the full marketing treatment and everything. It looks like its going to take the cinematic experience in games to a whole new level.



Final Fantasy IV (Nintendo DS)

This is a nostalgic pick for me. Along time ago I played the original American version of this game (Final Fantasy II) on the Super Nintendo and became a video game fan in the process. The story and gameplay are perfect. This is the only game that's ever made me cry (just a little, don't look at me that way).

2007 Japanese Release Trailer w/Subtitles - Out in the US this year!


Final Fantasy IV DS TGS 2007 ( Subtitled in English )


Empire: Total War (PC)

There's very little out about this game. I love strategy games. I love the games in the Total War series, and the era of this installment "the age of sail" is my absolute favorite period of history. I love Naval Warfare and its getting the royal treatment here.
