    I got a Wii for Christmas, and I want brawl so badly!!!

    I'd personally like to see a new Valis game, but that's probably asking for too much. At least I'd like to see Yuko in Brawl, but then again, Valis isn't exactly the most well-known series of games....

    Looking forward to Alan Wake...

    and hopefully the Warhammer MMO will be out in 2008 (not holding my breath). But the more I see it, the less impressive it gets.

    I'd say Spore, but I rumor had it that it got put on the chopping block.

    Otherwise, not a lot for 2008 I'm looking forward to. I'm hoping for an announcement of an official Diablo 3 though.

    Spore looks like a great game. I'm looking forward to that too. I love simulation games. :D

    Robin Williams plays Spore:

    What makes you think they'll release it in 08? They've already delayed it so many times I'm beginning to think it'll never come out.

    Dude, its coming out in 2 weeks in Japan, and they have officailly stated that there wont be any more delays. THe main reason they delayed its release was due to the fact that it may steal some sales from SM Galaxy.

    Alan Wake. Alas, my lappie won't be able to run it properly so I am looking to upgrade my desktop to play it. I loved playing the Max Payne series so A.Wake should be a real blast (when it is eventually released)

    There are very few games that I find interesting. The only two games I'm looking forward too are Spore and Starcraft II.

    super smash bros brawl will be the game of the century.
    I feel bad for the people who have never got to experience how amazing Smash bros for 64 was and how it continues to be the most fun you'll ever have with a multiplayer game (in most case).

    next for me is Starcraft 2 (if it comes out).

    i a huuuuuuuge fan of GTA but somehow i think GTA4 might not give the same as the previous versions. Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be completely awesome. Spore will ruin many people's lives because of its goodness. Dynasty Warriors 6 would be big only for people familiar with the series (and how awesome it is). Assassin's Creed is one time play so i don't know....)......They need to hurry up with the next Elder Scrolls

    I'm looking forward to the World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King and, of course, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The latter is looking excellent especially with the return of Jigglypuff!

    Here's my personal list, not in any particular order...

    Left 4 Dead
    Spore
    Fallout 3
    Borderlands
    Starcraft 2 (hopefully)
    FarCry 2 (maybe)

    I know there's a couple I'm forgetting, but I just can't think of them right now.
    Looking forward to playing these games on my new laptop :)

    Not sure if has been slated for 2008, but half life 2: episode 3 would be my choice for the game i'm looking forward to most!!

    For guaranteed 2008 releases, i'd have to go with rainbow six vegas 2 mostly for xbox live play.

    It's hard as 2008 looks to be a solid year.

    I'm stoked for Super Smash Bros. Brawl but I played melee so much that Brawl is really none to surprising. Though the added content is amazing.

    Really difficult to choose though Project Origin and Farcry 2 look awesome, and if Half Life 2: Episode 3 comes out this year I'd prolly go with that. Or maybe if there was a Battlefield 3 coming this year.

    As far as definitive games go I'm really looking forward to Project Origin.
