Infamous, LBP & White Knight Story for the PS3 look worth adding, assuming they make 08?

Also I can't see FF13 making next year, and I thought Versus was ahead in development so that may be more likely for next year.
 
Alan Wake.
Burnout Paradise.

That's it for me. Nothing comes close to those 2.

Ah yes, Alan Wake.
I've been looking forward to that since... phew, must be last year I saw the videos for that and was wowwed. The promise of DX10 fancy pants(tm) graphics... I hope it lives up to the promise, I'm really looking forward to it.

Yep, despite being disappointed with the lack of Burnoutness(tm) to the new Burnout game, I'm still going to buy it, and it looks like it will be fun too.... but damn, I'm going to miss the old, frantic races, along a set course.

I'm still looking forward to Haze too. GTA IV I'm sure will be good, and the first version I purchase for a console, so that'll be a new experience for me (playing with a pad)

Tekken 6 will also be a must buy, and I'm sure the full GT5, assuming it comes out next year ;)

Too tired to think of any more at the moment, but for Jan, on the console side of things, it'll be Burnout Paradise and Haze for me :)

Night!

V1N.

OK, couldn't resist but look at the Rainforest store to see what else is coming soon. I'm quite interested to see that Killzone game, though would have to read a pretty good review, or play a demo first before making a purchase. Devil May Cry 4 out Feb, just spotted Alone in the Dark too, out Jan. Just read about Dark Sector on there too. I see Lost Planet is due out in Feb, I wonder how that'll compare ;) Too many to read through now, I need sleep.

Night!

EDIT: Except to say, I'd be willing to bet, that this, WON'T be, game of the year lol

Haze was delayed to August 2008. It says on Ubisoft's official website. I'm not surprised, it looked absolutely dreadful.

ah hell, really? Shows how much attention I've been paying to games news recently. Shame, I thought it was looking like great fun!

Horses for courses!

V1N.

EDIT: Didn't spot that news here

I'll take a proper look tomorrow.

I did read on the Ubi site that it's delayed until Q1 2008, most shops are still listing it for a Jan release. Ubi's shop have it listed as August 2008, but in their forum, it's suggested this is just a placeholder date, not a literal one. Shop I ordered from still has Jan 15th listed (US import) though they're usually not the most reliable when games get delayed ;)

EDIT2: If you click the "pre-order now" button from the link above, it states Jan 2008 as well, from the Ubisoft site

It's no Crysis, but it looks fine to me, and more importantly, the game looks like great fun to me

I found BF2:MC to be excellent on the 360.

Everything I've seen about Bad Company so far (Trailers, Dev diaries etc) points to it being a cracker of a game. I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned it tbh.
Well im talking from BF2 experiance tbh :/


but i didnt like the console one

The FF13 games and god of war 3 I think wont be out till 09, maybe Japan will get FF13 end of the year but i dont think we'll see it till spring 09.
 
Is Dead Island a rip off of Dead Rising? I notice its not made by Capcom, and it's First Person perspective instead of Third Person Perspective.
