games you look forward to in 2008 and beyond

Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 announced through the SpikeTV VGA show last night. Oh god yes. The first game is absolutely fantastic. And now it looks like it'll be in actual Gotham City and not just localized to Arkham Asylum.

lead and gold looks like it could be pretty fun, im not into the whole western schtick but this game looks neat

HOLY SHIT, I can't believe Blizz is still working on Diablo 2.  Almost a decade old and still getting shiny new shit.  Awesome.

thane

i dig these "new" new character trailers.  the voice for thane fits perfect to what he looks like, a fish man.  grunt isn't half bad either.

Dark Void looks fun, despite it being a hurp durp cover based shooter with regening health, and so does Metro 2033.

Oh yeah, and I'm probably picking up TvC when it finally comes out, let me know if anyone gets it so we get duke it out.

Try the demo for Dark Void. It's on 360/PS3 now. It's also really bad. I had less fun with the demo than I did with the SNES Rocketeer game and that was one of the worst SNES games ever.

Metro 2033 looks cool, but mostly just because it's from guys who used to work at GSC. If I didn't like STALKER, I probably wouldn't be really interested in it.

No kidding? bummer.

this looks like one of those games which could be really fun with three other bros in the same room

if it ends up pretty good in the multiplayer department/if the demo pleases me, i may end up getting this to play locally with friends.

Shifting interest more towards No More Heroes 2. Sucks being poor, anyone playing No More Heroes 2, TvC, Mass Effect 2 vlad or Muramasa. I suppose I should finish Stalker CS, Viewtiful Joe 2, Megaman Zero 3, Megaman 3, and Serious Sam HD. Shit, my gaming ADD is horrible, I have probably 5 or 6 other games I've yet to even install.

[Eggman]

No More Heroes 2 is absolutely amazing. Muramasa was also excellent and very beautiful. I'll be trying out TvC tomorrow with a bunch of friends and Mass Effect 2 shows up from GameFly tomorrow.

Honestly though, both NMH2 and TvC need every purchase they can get. Mass Effect 2 will go platinum hits and drop in price later just like the first one did.

[MortifiedocAlot]

Yeah I know, I was probably going to go with TvC considering I bought NMH at full price a while ago. Still, I have no cash so it's lal up in the air.

Also god damn it Sega, don't fuck this up.

gets me optomistic for the game anyway.  now i just hope the cutscenes don't make me vomit like that 360 star ocean game.  i didn't buy it, or play it, but i was in the vicinity of it being played, i wanted to leave the place ASAP.  

i doubt it, but im retarded enough to buy the game anyway, if the game part of it is good, it should be worth it.

double post

ive not been excited for a halo game since i got my xbox with the original game.  skipped halo 2 (though played multiplayer with friends), beat the legendary campaign of 3 pretty late (didn't play much multiplayer because call of duty exists, and said friends played that instead), and yeah, this game looks pretty good. 

long as i get some big open levels like the silent cartographer level of the first game, or the first half of crysis, shit should be awesome.
