So, What are your most anticipated games for the rest of 2007?

[Jarrodhk]

Heh, college student during the summer with a job that gives me a good amount of free time.  During the school year?  Well... let's just say that I tend to play catch up when it gets close to finals time.

Also... I have no life.   

[EddieA]

Having a job makes finding the money for the games not much of an issue for me, but I have the same problem as you do of trying to find the time to play.

Unfortunately, life is backwards.  When you're a kid, you have all the time in the world and no money, and when you're an adult, you have plenty of money and no time.

My list -
Mass Effect 
Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssey
Wild ARMs 5
Hellgate London and Mythos
Unreal Tournament 3
Hot Shots Tennis

Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted would be on the list, but it's going to be a long time before I get a PS3.

[StitchJones]

I own a 360 now, but will be buying a PS3 before the year is out.  So here it goes.

360:
Mass Effect
Halo 3
NCAA 08 (Right around the corner, YAY!)
Madden (It better be good  )
Blue Dragon
Call of Duty 4 (Never thought they would go modern and get my attention again.  )
GTA IV

I don't think Lost Odessy or Too Human will make it in 07 or they would be there.

PS3
Heavenly Sword (Jumped REAL high on my list after the ign interview/demo)
Killzone - Looks great, now if they can just make sure the game play is 10x better than the original.
Uncharted
Ratchet and Clank

Obviously MGS4, Little Big Planet, and a few others are not coming until 08

Wait and See:
Assassin's Creed (Was real high on this and still think it will be good, but not great anymore)
Blacksite
Stranglehold (Starting to grow on me)

[WinoMcCougarstein]

[Torfish]

I am sure I will buy a couple more games that are not on my list, but these are the must buys for the rest of this year.

PC
#1 - Crysis
Hellgate London
Civ4: Beyond the Sword

DS
Zelda

Wii
Metriod 3
Super Smash Bros
Super Mario Galaxy
 

[Arclight]

Does anyone know if Hellgate: London is a possible port to the X-Box 360?

If not, what are the expect PC spec's required to run this monster?

[Calvin]

I'm not sure its really wise to post such a list due to the size and the eventual hit to my wallet, but what the hell (also note that any cross-platform or sports title is by default listed on the 360 because of the controller and Live functionality-if they prove to be better on PS3 I will buy them for that platform in a heartbeat).

360:
Assassin's Creed
Blue Dragon
Eternal Sonata
GTA IV
Mass Effect
Halo 3
Madden 2008
Call of Duty 4
Tiger Woods 2008
Bioshock*

PS3:
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Little Big Planet (please!)
Lair
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
Hot Shots Golf 5

PC:
Bioshock*
Unreal Tournament 3
Crysis
World in Conflict
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
GRAW 2

[Autistic Angel]

360:
Assassin's Creed
Bioshock
Blue Dragon
Eternal Sonata
GTA IV
Mass Effect
Halo 3
Madden 2008
Call of Duty 4
Tiger Woods 2008
Bioshock*

PC:
Bioshock*
Unreal Tournament 3
Crysis
World in Conflict
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts

Why does Bioshock appear in the list three times, and have stars next to them twice?  Are you planning to buy one regular edition to play, and then one Collector's Edition for both the 360 and the PC to keep sealed on your shelf for all time?  Dude, I thought I was looking forward to that game, but you are HARDCORE! 

-Autistic Angel

I may be swearing off the PSP and DS.  Both make my head hurt when I play and I can't pin down why...

[CeeKay]

I may be swearing off the PSP and DS.  Both make my head hurt when I play and I can't pin down why...

it's the WiFi signals messing with your brain!!!!!    or it could be that you have your head tilted at an odd angle (looking down) while playing those two as opposed to consoles on bigger screens (looking forward).

Yea, it is probably the angle.  The problem is that I have no idea how else to hold it. :/

+1.  I plan on geting a PS3 and LBP is definitely not on the list of exclusives.  Now if Nintendo had done it then everything would be alright 

[EngineNo9]

My top picks:
Mercenaries 2
GTA IV
Unreal Tournament 3 (although I may just wait until next year’s 360 version)
Halo 3
Half-Life Ep 2/TF2
Stranglehold

When I get time/money list:
Assassin’s Creed
Project Gotham Racing 4 (the bikes make it less appealing to me)
Beautiful Katamari
Mario Galaxy
Smash Brothers
Bioshock

[Blackjack]

PSP
Nov. 6
-SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike (the series veers in a more strategy-oriented, somewhat Full Spectrum Warrior direction)

Nov. 19
-Warhammer 40K: Squad Command (turn-based strategy with destructible environments)

God of War: Chains of Olympus was pushed back to March 2008 (or First Quarter 2008, depending on where ya check), though the playable demo UMD supposedly started going out to those who signed up for it at the official site a while back.

Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice's U.S. debut was pushed back to January 2008 (though UK sites are already reviewing it overseas).

Although I'm a big PSP junkie, beyond the above two, I haven't seen much that interests me on the preliminary 2008 PSP release lists (there's a useful PSP release list at IGN: (http://psp.ign.com/index/release.html).

[Farscry]

While I'm not buying most of these this year, here's my list:

Hellgate: London
Mario Galaxy
Guitar Hero 3
Rock Band
Mass Effect

...I'm sure there's more interesting stuff, just can't think of it at the moment.

[Knightshade Dragon]

My list looks a little more like this:

360:
Rock Band
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect
Guitar Hero 3
The Simpsons Game
TimeShift
Army of Two
Call of Duty 4


PS3:
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Little Big Planet
The Eye of Judgment


PS2:
Buzz: The Mega Quiz (Already have it - it is a blast!)

Wii:
Mario Galaxy (maybe)

PC:
Hellgate: London
Crysis
The Witcher
Unreal Tournament 3
Empire Earth III
SimCity Societies
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
Disciples III: Renaissance

[CeeKay]

didn't Turning Point get delayed until 2008?

[Larraque]

Rock Band.

Rock Band.

and

Rock Band.

I'm also getting Guitar Hero 3 for my 360, so I can have a second guitar hero controller for Rock Band.

But that's the only reason for me to buy GH3 on 360. Otherwise I'd buy the PS2 version.

On a normal year, I might be more interested in other releases. But this is no normal year. This is Rock Band year.

[CeeKay]

My updated list:

PC
The Witcher
Crysis
Call of Duty 4
Hellgate London
Soldier of Fortune: Payback

360
Assassins Creed
Mass Effect
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Wii
Super Mario Galaxy
Soul Calibur Legends

DS
Dementium: The Ward

[Knightshade Dragon]

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Damn it...forgot about that.  In.

As for Soldier of Fortune, that kinda came out of left field with no indication that it exists and it is almost out the door.  I'm wait and see in a big way on that one.

[Reemul]

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008(PC)
The Witcher(PC)
Crysis(PC)
Hellgate London(PC)
Mass Effect(360)
Assasin's Creed(360)
Kane and Lynch(360)
Unreal Tournament 3(PC)
Jericho(PC)
Gears of War(PC)

[CeeKay]

As for Soldier of Fortune, that kinda came out of left field with no indication that it exists and it is almost out the door.  I'm wait and see in a big way on that one.

yeah, the hype on it has been pretty low.  I'm hoping it will live up to SoF2 but I'm keeping my expectations low.  From EBGames:

Built to harness the power of next generation- Featuring an incredibly realistic modeling system allowing for accurate hit detection and detailed damage modeling. Enemies will not only react to the specific area they've been hit but also to the power of the weapon they've been hit with.

One of the most lethal collections of weapons ever assembled - Over 30 of the baddest weapons including sub-machine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, projectile explosives, weapons attachments and futuristic prototype weapons.

The world's most dangerous hotspots- Players will find themselves thrown into authentic mercenary situations in real world hotspots around the globe. Survive and ambush and rescue a diplomat, infiltrate a terrorist organization, go on a search and destroy mission and much more.

Enemies around every corner- High intensity combat situations where players will need to take down over

15 unique enemies including terrorists, mobsters, insurgents, enemy soldiers and more.

Online multiplayer- Play your favorite individual and team based online modes including death match, team death match, elimination, team elimination, capture the flag and demolition. Additional online options include maps tuned specifically for multiplayer action, and persistent stat tracking.

Compelling new storyline- When a routine escort mission goes horribly wrong, players find themselves battling an insidious enemy that knows no boundaries. As mercenary Thomas Mason, players will need to uncover and terminate an extremist plot aimed at throwing the world into global chaos.

hopefully something like the GHOUL system is being used to show damage- I miss shooting someone in the neck and hearing the gurgling sound as they die 

[Knightshade Dragon]

15 enemies eh?  Try not to strain yourself...

[CeeKay]

15 enemies eh?  Try not to strain yourself...

yeah, aren't terrorists and insurgents basically the same thing? 

[Andrew Mallon]

Phoenix Wright
Call Of Duty 4
Fire Emblem
Uncharted
Super Mario Galaxy
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect

[Lockdown]

1. Mass Effect

2. College Hoops 2k8  (assuming they don't bork it all up.)

[kathode]

Over 30 of the baddest weapons

Damn, well as long as they're the baddest, I better pick this game up!
Just so you know, the new Soldier of Fortune game is being handled by Activision's budget label, so don't get your hopes up too high.

[Calvin]

1. Mass Effect

2. College Hoops 2k8  (assuming they don't bork it all up.)

If 2k8 is any indication, prepare for SEVERE disappointment.

It looks to be pretty much what I'm expecting it to be
