The 10 Xbox 360 Games To Watch For in 2008: Gears 2, GRAW 3 & More

GamesRadar writes:
"Xbox 360's got the hits you want to play:

10) Fable 2
It's what we've always wanted out of life - grow a 'stache, embark on epic adventures, bag yourself a lady friend and er... raze entire villages to the ground. After Pete Molyneux shocked the gaming world by revealing a pet dog, he described the potential of a next gen, living, breathing Albion. We bought the dream, wholesale.

9) Too Human
They currently seem more bothered with kicking off litigation against Epic than getting their shit together and finishing this oft-delayed RPG/scrapper hybrid, but Silicon Knights' sheer heritage (who could forget Eternal Darkness or their stellar Metal Gear Solid Gamecube remake) means we remain firmly up for this one.

Too Human, Fable 2 and Alan Wake. These are the ones that I'm really watching for plus Dead Rising 2 and Killer Instinct 3 (If it ever gets made).

Lightning Mr Bubbles6080d ago (Edited 6080d ago )

I don't know about Dead Rising 2

Mu5afir6080d ago

Still wondering why they don't have a killer instinct game for this gen. >_<

i Shank u6080d ago (Edited 6080d ago )

Ninja Gaiden 2 booooiiiii! i think Ninja Gaiden 2's grphx will be better then just about anything and will make people say wow

I want a next-gen Orchid that i can flash people with already damnit! growin up i loved playin K.I. in the arcades, own a mo-fo with this goofy lookin glowstick chick, and then make their eyes pop out when she flashed em' at the end of a 30 somethin hit combo. best fighting game England ever made man

Nasim, do you ever learn? Why are you so brain dead? You just can't think objectively no matter how hard you try. You havent played any of these games so you have nothing to say about which one is better.

WIIIS16079d ago

Aren't nasim's rantings blocked on your default settings? It's like he doesn't exist.

The list really should not include non-exclusives.

Too Human has gotten a lot of bad PR, and so far it has failed to delivered. Its teasers and trailers have consistently failed to impress, and the developers are too arrogant and think they have the right stuff and blame all the faults on everyone else. So I've pretty much written off this game.

MK_Red6080d ago

Good point but only GRAW 3 is non-exclusive and with SC:C going 360 exclusive and delay of GRAW 2 and R6Vegas for PS3, they are assuming that GRAW 3 will also be timed-exclusive for 360.

Evil0Angel6080d ago (Edited 6080d ago )

add (NINJA GAIDEN 2(not in pc)+exculsive GTA4 content(not in pc)+Halo Wars(not in pc)) to that list and you get the best line up in any platform in 2008.

TOO human failed to deliver in previous E3 becuase the problem with UNREAL ENGINE , now they have new engine and every one know what they can deliver(MG:TS)

@blow:sony fangirls always crying 360 hassnot got games in 2008.now they are eating there words

MK_Red6080d ago

No one said 360 doesn't have games but good point on NG2. They should have included Ninja Gaiden 2 as well as a Sakagochi game instead of GRAW 3.

risk6080d ago

banjo kazooie? seriously...whens the last time rare made a good game..

MK_Red6080d ago

Good one :)
Also, adding Sakagochi and Molyneux to the list of 360 exclusives.

rev206080d ago

Nice some of them look good, i hope they make a ps3 article like this aswell

MK_Red6080d ago

Agreed. It's nice to see them write a decent game related article instead of those hot chick things.
Hopefully they will write the same for PS3, Wii and PC (I'd love to see a PSP one too).

GameOn6080d ago

Im looking forward to Bango, Too Human and Halo wars.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies3d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken3d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing694d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker4d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt3d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken3d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran813d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto12d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia13d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger13d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie13d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

13d ago
Profchaos13d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie13d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh12d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
