Top 10 most anticipated Xbox 360 games of 2008 - Destructoid

Destructoid's Fronz writes:

"A little over a year ago, Grim and I assembled top ten lists for our most anticipated Xbox 360 games of the year. Looking back, we both laughed about a few of our picks. For starters, we both picked Huxley, which still isn't out and doesn't even interest us at all anymore. Then there was Grim picking the game which shall not be named. We also both underestimated BioShock quite a bit.

So when 2008 came around we decided to collaborate again to see how well we would predict the future, but we both noticed something funny: none of the games on either of our lists were coming out for months, and most of them weren't scheduled for release until late in the year. The result was us deciding to hold off on posting our opinions for a while to show that, even though the year is almost half way over, we both still think the best is yet to come for the Xbox 360 this year."

WTF no gears. Thats a first.

For me at least as of right now, its NG2. I never played fable 1 so i don't really see myself getting swept into fable 2 so next 360 title i really want is gears. I hope there is 4p coop this time too.:D

Dont let him fool you bro! He's very much a fanboy even though he tries to sound civil! Personally I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of his mouth after some of the rants this morning from him! I would Love to take him serious but he just shows to much bias and reminds me of old school Jin!

I disagree Beans. Everyone should find their true selves. He should just join Nasim in the closet pronto. Besides, these are the worst types, pretending to be neutral so they can throw a low blow with apparently more authority, and it is obvious from past posts that is what he's been doing.

The fact that they didn't mention Gears kind of ruins the list. At least that is my top anticipated 360 title. Are they suggesting that the release date might be in 2009? I find that strange since I thought it was out for November.

...and what happened to Halo Wars? I haven't heard anything on it in a while.

1.9 - Agreed Hamburger hill and BS3

I honestly don't believe that Sonarus has a 360 and most of what he says. Although i also would like tpo take him seriously but i read s many of his comments in threads to no better.

Like you said he trys to use it as way to complain about the 360 from a supposedly informed perspective. You will ocassionally get comments like the one above that seem pretty normal but 9 times out of 10 its Sony fanboy fud. Guess hes got to make a few posts to make the sharad believable.

CASTLE CRASHERS looks like it could be amazing. anyone who has played alien homid on the gc or live will know what behmoth can do as a dev.

4plyr coop using 4 knights that have different weapons and magical powers. its 2d with great animations, fast paced and vry busy. have a look at some of the videos for it. Looks like it could be an immense live title.

Not a very good list; he missed quite a few games including the big power hitter Gears 2.

i hate it when people say that

you cant critisize someones list, its HIS opinion

im guilty of doing it myself at times, but still.. it shouldn't be done

if the guy doesn't give two sh!ts about Gears 2 then let him do so

I believe the article is titled "Top 10 most anticipated Xbox 360 games of 2008," not Destructoids Top 10 most anticipated Xbox 360 games of 2008; therefore they should have included Gears 2 being that the title they give it, shows that they are giving the top anticipated games on the 360 and I'm pretty sure Gears 2 is on a "nutso" anticipated level. Everyone is welcome to their opinions, but if they were going to list the most anticipated games on the 360, then they should have done it correctly. If they said Destructoid's most anticipated then I wouldn't critisize. Get it?

I am looking forward to Mercenaries
I am up in the air on Conan
Banjo? Most wanted? Reeeaaallllyyyy. Well each their own.
I have never played an RE game but I know people love it.
I admit I am looking forward to Dead Space but I don’t know enough to put it on my MOST anticipated list.
Alan Wake...lost hope in
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed...yeah waiting for that.
Castle Crashers? Never heard of it, certainly not anticipating it, but I am sure it’s a fine game.
Fable2, yes very much looking forward to it.
GTA IV....dam I thought we had an article that got away from it. I may pick it up but it wasn’t on my most anticipated list.

Yeah I think GEARS2, Fallout3, Too Human, NG2, Quake Wars, Brothers in Arms, World in conflict\civilization, Tiberium, Last Remnant, H.A.W.X, and Endwar all may have made my list above some of theirs....wait that would be too many games... and I think I am missing a few other games. Anyway looking like another great year for games.

Doesn't make sense to mention muliplatform games on a console exclusive list, but then again Xbox barely has 10 exclusive games comiing out this year.

So far all I know about are:

NG2
GeOW2
Left4Dead
Fable2
AlanWake
Banjo3
HaloWars
InfiniteUndiscorvery
TooHuman

4.1 - Oh geeze, the 360 hater again

Well you can add Splinter Cell to that "barely" list you built up there. I'd add a few more, but what's the use really?

Oh really what about PS3 exclusives? It is past 1/3 of the year already and all I have seen is GT5 prologue which really counts as half a game anyway.

It doesnt say its a console exclusive list. I mean the first game they list was supposed to be a PS3 exclusive at one time. Great anticipated games are great anticipated games, no matter what console they are on.

6 - Whoop de doo

I believe there are 6 multiplatform games on that list.

How extremely unimpressive...

Wasn't there a bunch more exclusives for xbox though? I think theyre missing a few.

Hmm...Gears? Now that might be the reason that I pick up a 360 later this year, where is that on the list?

But all of those sound like good games none the less
