IGN Xbox's Most Anticipated Games of E3 2008

IGN: "Like Christmas and tax season, the Electronic Entertainment Expo only comes once a year. With it comes excitement, disappointment and the odd overnight stay in the L.A. County Jail. But mostly it's about games, and there will be plenty to see at this year's event. As the premier annual showcase for upcoming titles, E3 brings together most major developers and publishers, who show off their wares to jaded journalists on the lookout for the Next Big Thing.

There's a lot we're looking to forward to seeing at E3 this year, but priorities are priorities, and we've narrowed our vast list of anticipated titles down to this elite collection of 10. These are the games we are absolutely positive are going to be at the show and that we're dying to see most. There will undoubtedly be some surprises at the show, but these 10 are the cream of the confirmed crop."

Halo 4 would demolish the entire lineup of all consoles..

That includes Alan Wake, Halo Wars, and Banjo

[silverchode]

i have the feeling halo4 wont be announced this year

[Panthers]

It would be a big announcement, but I dont think anyone would be super excited. Maybe its just me.

[r2kcipher]

halo 4 that sounds desperate. it would have to be a prequel right.

[princejb134]

wow are you serious halo 4!!
puzzle quest sounds more exciting

[SixTwoTwo]

slap yourself

[mintaro]

Im really interested in how Banjo will turn out, hopefully it will be as good as previous itterations

[MK_Red]

Now this is why IGN is the best or at least, among the best sites. Even with presense of Fable 2 and Gears of War 2, they KNOW that Fallout 3 is THE game to look forward to.
Fallout 3, number ONE on the 360 list AS WELL as the PC list. This game is gonna PWN! (Diablo 3 effect is gone now)

[r2kcipher]

yep cant wait for fallout 3. if its anything like oblivion than i will love it. never played any fallout games but the story sounds good. and i still play oblivion which is kinda sad btw.

[MK_Red]

It's kinda funny. We're both anticipating Fallout 3 but if it is anything like Oblivion, I'd actually lose interest so for me, it is a must if only it is less like Oblivion!

[Captain Tuttle]

It was a mile wide and a half inch deep. That can only carry a game so far. From what I hear Bethesda has made a much more compact, rich world with Fallout 3. I'm cautiously optimistic. If they can approach Bioshock's quality I'll be happy.

And here's hoping for an isometric Fallout 4.

[r2kcipher]

i just love the open world in oblivion i think they got it right. and how u can level up in every ability.

E3 2008 is going to be great for all consoles. For xbox there is Alan Wake, Banjo, GeoW2, Fable 2 and a lot more. I really want to see some more GeoW2 vids and same goes with Alan Wake, those two games look kick-ass.

[Baka-akaB]

diablo effect is actually only starting ... with fake beta reports , d2 rising up in sales , constant hype rumors about consoles version , and of course plenty of news over the classes and new features over months .

Of course it could tone down at e3 , unless more footage from blizzard .

[Amp]

a man a plan a canal panama

[Ri0tSquad]

They should save that for Xbox 720.

I know what to expect from Gears of War 2 and Fable 2 so my most anticipated game for 360's E3 would have to be Alan Wake.

[BLUR111]

Left 4 dead looks like it will be amazing online with friends, can't wait to see E3

[r2kcipher]

yep that games looking good so far. its different than most zombie games out there which is good imo.

[Willio]

Left 4 dead reminds me of an upgrade version of HL2/CS1.6 Zombie mode.

[mesh1]

@WILLIO OFC IT DOES YOUR JEALOUS IT WONT BE COMING to your console its is nothing like cs zombie mod nothing

[Willio]

Sorry but i can get it on PC...

[n00bzRtehgey]

Great list! PS3 has nothing to hope for at this year's E3 LOL. oooo, more Constipation screens. Wow. What else is coming out THIS YEAR? LOL.

[OmarJA]

lol you're a moron

[Fade_Walker]

They said he would finish the fights that the Master Chief started in the first two games and he would finish those fights in the third one...they didn't say anything about starting new ones ;)

[InMyOpinion]

I think they will show more from Warhound as well.

[byeGollum]

while we prefer our preciouSss over anything else, we must admit the 360 has a decent line up that makes it worth keeping although we already sold ours :D .. 360 owners have fun with this upcoming games.

[Aquanox]

It catches my attention that the Ps3 list is populated by many multiplatform (also on Xbox 360) but those didn't make it to the Xbox 360 list because there are many exclusives that raise more interest from the public.

This alone, says a lot about what's coming in the rest of the year. MS looks in a good position for 2008 second half.
