PSU's Top 10 Games You Must Have Before 2008

This year's Fall is very, very crowded. Even with titles such as GTA4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 slipping into 2008, the remaining months of 2007 will burn a hole into gamers' pockets. With that in mind, PSU's compiled a Top 10 list of titles that you absolutely must get before the year is out. Do some more chores, work overtime, demand them for Christmas or simply stop buying your girlfriend gifts (a last resort, of course).

Whichever platform or platforms you own, these titles should be on your wishlist. And yes, they are PlayStation Universe, but they're not oblivious to the number of fantastic titles coming to Xbox 360 and Wii. That's why they've included a number of non-PS3 titles on the list too. This is the ultimate Top 10 list of games that you must have before 2008...

[Jack Bauer]

for a playstation site, seems like that list is unbiased...but Rayman Raving Rabbids 2?????????

but i gotta say, after playing in the CoD4 beta, im looking more forward to that then halo 3, i agree with the CoD4 at number 1

[MK_Red]

Well, I agree with PSU on Rayman. Aside from Metroid Prime 3, Rayman Raving Rabbids was the Wii game that I had most fun with. Funny, awesome and hilarious.

[nasim]

i am surprised that CARTOON HALO 3 is no 2 on that list.

not even all x360 oweners would purchase halo3 considering it has 0 preorders in japan and eu (x360's dead territories)

[FreeMonk]

it's a pretty good list for a Playstation site.

But Guitar Hero 3 instead of Rock Band?? I'll be buying GH3, but I'm looking forware to RB more just for the drums along, plus the downloadable albums and promise of 100 DL tracks within the first year.

Plus no Assassin's Creed??

Switch GH3 with RB and Raving Rabbits 2 with Assassin's and you'll have a pretty spot on list!

[MK_Red]

OMG, I could I forget. Awesome points FreeMonk.

No Rock Band!? And no Assassin's Creed!?
My most anticipated 2007 title was Burnout Paradise and with that slipped to 08, Assassins is my number one and I forgot about it! And Rock Band, The Game Of The Show winner of E3...

[FreeMonk]

my pleasure!!

Although, the reason why Rock Band could of been missed off the list is although the states get it in '07, the rest of the world won't get it until '08.

But Assassin's Creed?? Come on, if anything that game is going to be bigger than Mass Effect, GH3, RR2, Drake and Ratchet due to the fact that it's a multi-platform title plus is look totally awesome!

The only other one I can think off that they missed, but would find difficult to fit in due to the awesome list they created would be the Half-Life 2 Orange Box. 5 titles for the price of 1. Bargain!

It's going to be a great year...starting with Halo 3 in 3 weeks!

[joydestroy]

yup, COD4 is going to be amazing.
can't wait for the full game.

[MK_Red]

Halo 3 at number 2, not bad for a list from PSU. The 2 games I'd like to add to the list are Jericho & Manhunt 2.

[Daishi]

Wow, you just hit the jackpot MK. Still, there are so many games coming out there is absolutely no way to have a proper top ten. Personaly I would switch Raving Rabids with Jericho and Uncharted with Haze. Raving Rabids because it is a sequal and Jericho is brand new, and Uncharted because it reminds me too much of Just Cause everytime I see a new video for it (I know I'll get hate mail for that one but I'll stand behind it until I play Uncharted).

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

I don't agree with some titles in that list.

[monkey602]

A lot of people aren't going to agree with Halo3 not being no.1

[Greysturm]

The reason why i think COD4 is over halo is mainly the possible user base which is limited to only 360 while COD4 is pc ps3 and xbox making it a worthwile wait for all of those users.

[Kaze88]

Most wanted ps3 exclusivity on this year is uncharted, dunno why but it looks and runs great, on the same time it looks fun to play.

[monkey602]

I'm the same Uncharted looks great

[The Dark Knight]

alot of them are going crazy cause halo 3 was 2nd, but its true, im glad to see a play station site didnt diss halo. Because c'mon we all know it will be great

[toughNAME]

i wouldnt expect a PS3 fansite to ive number 1 to Halo 3

but of all the games to choose, COD4???? come on@!

[MoonDust]

Because it's Multiplatform.

[Dannagar]

I don't know how accurate that list is since the media is the only group that has had time with most of those games. Some high profile titles may turn out like Lair.

[OnTheFence]

=

[DeZimatoR]

PSU should changes its goddamn name to a more generalist one once and for all.

Seriously, why would a site called PLAYSTATION Universe put up a list of games featuring Halo 3 and Mario Galaxy? Honestly, why? Ps3forums are just like that too, with that stupid 360 section which is nothing but a place for trolls and haters.

I mean it, either change the name of the site and forums or keep your articles exclusive to Playstation stuff.

P.S. Rayman Raving Rabbids better placed on the list then Ratchet & Clank: ToD?! Come on!

P.P.S. Why is the image on this 'news' of Halo 3? Shouldn't it be of CoD 4 seeing as it got rated #1 by PSU?

[matypt]

I agree with most of them buy Halo 3 should be higher than COD4

[Xi]

no super smash brothers.

Halo 3 should be number 1, only because you have to finish the fight, either to see how good it is, or how bad.

[Dr Pepper]

Super Smash Bros. is #5

[Douchebaggery]

1.orange box
2.mass effect
3.uncharted
4.halo 3
5.UT3

*if littlebigplanet beta happens this year than it's my #1

[Daxx]

Even though I am a Halo fan, CoD4 does deserve to be #1 because it's a game that is going to be on the PC, PS3, and 360 so that gives everyone (except Wii owners) a chance to enjoy this game during the Holidays.

Also to add on to the COD4 hype, Being one of the people who has the COD4 beta I've got to say that Infinity Ward nailed the multiplayer head on. The multiplayer gameplay is solid and very fun. Also COD4 has the Halo party system so you get to stay with your friends in every single multiplayer match you go into without having to leave a match and rejoin in another lobby.

[MoonDust]

Good to see they were fair.

[DeadlyFire]

I don't see many PC titles in that list at all. Like Bioshock and Crysis. They deserve a spot on the list.

[DeckUKold]

I loved part 3 don't understand why they didn't just makes me mad at them
and smash bros belong in the top three other than that for a playstation site it's pretty fair

[AbyssGravelord]

Very good and unbaised list of great games, I don't care what systems you own it's gonna be a great flippin year for gaming!!! Raving Rabids!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!!

[Dannagar]

I've already seen so many Playstation Fan boys convert to Xbox 360 Or Wii. I never imagined that site dedicated to Playstation would start changing its tune. I guess it's a sign of the times.

[OnTheFence]

"Top 10 Games You Must Have Before 2008"

Nothing to do with converting or changine one's tune.

Keep up the good work fanboy.

[ATLRoAcH]

I feel Assassin's Creed should be up there somewhere maybe it was #11.

[PimpHandHappy]

or maybe less hyped games will turn out like Warhawk?!?!?

lets hope

[RadientFlux]

not bad a very non-bias list of course I would change the order around a bit but you can say that about any list.

[NewsGforce]

I thought that although its a nice list for a playstation site it was still bias. COD4?! Really? I know its going to be a good game but look at the Hottest Games list on this very site. The PS3, X360, and PC versions combined still don't add up to Halo 3. I think they just wanted their number 1 as a multiplatform title, just to make everybody happy.

[OnTheFence]

It should hav been #1

[joydestroy]

yeah, seriously, Haze should've been in that list.
i own a 360, not a PS3, and even i know that.
