Next Generation listen some of the games, likely or less likely, to be released this year, and which they’re excited about. Thought I would list some of the game I look forward to. I only focus on the PC, Wii and PS3 platforms, cause those are the platforms I own and play most.
PC
Now that I finally bout a new computer I’m really excited about the upcoming releases. Also the PC as a game platform have had hugh competition as consoles taking a big part of the market. The PC games I look forward to this year is:
- Far Cry 2 – If its released this year I definitely gonna play it. The first one is good, and I hope the second is even better. Thou I should say that I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t finished the first game to the end :/ .
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky – I have the first game, but havn’t played it. But I’ve been recommended to play it. And I really like FPSs and RPG so I should like it (I hope).
- Left 4 Dead – Newly Valve owned developers Turtle Rock Studios zombie FPS have a nice concept for their game Left 4 Dead. Blast zombies to hell!!! Who doesn’t like that!?
- Starcraft 2 – Really sceptical if this one gonna be released this year, but if it is, I think its gona kick ass! Played the hell out of the first one, so the expectations is way high!

Wii
Okey, I got a Wii, but I can’t say it have stolen to much time from me. I don’t have that many games, and is maybe a little disappointed with the Wii game catalogue. Okami would have been on the list, if I didn’t already own it for the PS2. None of the Wii games are games I desperately want to play, I still have to buy and play Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime : Corruption.
- Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors – Again, still havn’t finished the previous game, but this look a little more action oriented. So I hope it isn’t so slow paced as the previous PS2 game.
- Mario Kart Wii – Mario Kart is Mario Kart. Probably never as good as the SNES version, and I hope they innovate this one. And, please, try to use the internet potential!?
Playstation 3
2007 was the year for Playstation 3 for me. The platform I spend most time playing on. And I hope they work equally as hard this year to release good games. Games for the PS3 I’m stoked about is:
- Haze – In recent years I’ve gotten used to play FPS on consoles, and think it works great. Especially Call of Duty 4 online worked really good, and I hope the trend will continue in 2008 with Haze. First scheduled for 2007, this game should come this year.
- Little Big Planet – Not really a game in my eyes, but I’m still interested to see what exactly it is. And what will happen with the community side.
- Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots – Metal Gear!!! Thats all Ill say!
Killzone 2 – It took me some time to purchase Killzone, but it was the game that introduced me to FPS for consoles. And I really enjoyed that game. (Fun fact: I bout it mostly cause it got really good review scores, the same with God of War)- Final Fantasy 13 – Another game I doubt will be done this year. But you can always hope. I only hope its better than FF12, which according to me was a hugh disappointment!
- Resistance 2 – one of the launch titles for the PS3, a ordinary FPS to kill some time with. The sequel under development, which was expected. I only hope they don’t put to much energy for the multiplayer side.
- Motorstorm 2 – Please… implement splitsrceen mode!!!!!!!
- Rock Band – Released in the US, I hope to enjoy this here in Sweden in the beginning in start of 2008
Then there’s probably will come games that totally blow me away (I hope).
Almost every podcast I’ve listened to recently have had these list, so I though it would be an idea to make one my self. What’s your list?
