Most Anticipated Game of 2008?
 
Its a tie between Too Human and Fable 2

Too Human has wonderful potential, and it will be interesting to see how is executes that potential.

Fable 2 is interesting, because I thought the original, while not a bad game, was a bit of a let-down after all the hype surrounding it. I'm eager to see how the gang at Lionhead learned from their mistakes...

What about you?

Wii Music
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Expected Release: TBA 2008

Overview:
Grab both a Wii remote and nunchuk and play music using more than 40 different virtual instruments, including a folk guitar, bass guitar, trumpet, maracas and a marimba. Wii Music utilizes a timing-based gameplay system and supports up to four players locally. While its simple presentation rivals Wii Sports, it's bound to be a big hit later this year.

Rock Band
Developer: Harmonix
Publisher: EA, MTV Games
Expected Release: 2008

Overview:
The Wii version of the latest musical craze is still yet to be officially commented on, but word has come up, and it's worth a mention. With the huge success of Guitar Hero III on Wii thus far, we expect EA to bring this multiplayer-focused band experience to Wii later this year. Downloadable content may be tricky, but the potential for Wii-specific motions or peripherals is definitely there.

They'd probably be different if I had a 360 or a PS3. If I get a PC this year, then my anticipated games will be all the games I missed last year.

Too Human is probably my number one. I've been waiting for it so long, there's really no competition.

But, my number 2 is probably the new Smash Bros.

Fallout 3

I know it's going to be great, no matter how much it strays from the original gameplay.

I tried playing the original games, but after a few hours of getting my ass thoroughly kicked by low level enemies, I never played it again.

I'll try it again now that I'm a bit older and wiser.

I definitely have to say Brawl and Fallout 3. I am nervous about Fallout 3 not coming out this year. I just have a bad feeling that Bethesda will delay it to '09.

Smash Bros Brawl
And tried to make this earlier, but No More Heroes.
But just picked that up so guess no longer anticipated.

Interested in more info on Disaster Day of Crisis

I definitely think you should. Just for the atmosphere, if nothing else.

I played the first one a long time ago, it was the first RPG I had ever played and I sucked at it. Got bored and left it on the shelf. A year later I got the 2nd one (a magazine gave it for free - I wouldn't pay for a game I didn't like :)), and that bored me as well.

A few years ago, I talked to a friend about Fallout, and the conversation got me excited so much, I started playing the 2nd one again (couldn't find the first - still can't find it :().

Although I never finished the first, I think the second one was better because it gave the player more freedom - you needed to finish the first one in 120 game days.

But they're probably the best RPG games ever. Seriously.

Oh, and I'm also very excited about Brawl. How could I forget about that?

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Yeah, I know. Cliche and expected.

It's weird. I know I won't have much time for SSBB. We Europeans might not even get it this year, there is no release date yet.

I just look so much forward to unlocking everything, letting the game surprise me... And the battles, oh the battles. So much fun.

I want you to be my first opponent! Then I'll post the match here and the loser will face humiliation for all of GameTavern here to see! :D

I wonder if there's any chance HL2 Episode 3 will be released in 2008...

probably not, so Smash Bros, without a doubt.
