Most Wanted Games for 2007

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

I'm not exactly sure what's coming out in 2007.

But Metal Gear Solid 4 is #1 for sure. I don't own a PS3, but I will be very tempted to drop the $$$ for one (the only thing that will hold me back is if it's still buggy as it is today).

Halo 3 is up there as well.

Indiana Jones would have been up there, but it got pushed to 2008 (probably as a tie in to the movie)

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

My list:

01. Super Mario Galaxy (Should be Nintendo's AAA Holiday Title)
02. Animal Crossing Wii (A close second. Loved the GCN version)
03. Dewy's Adventure (Looks like it has the makings of a great platformer)
04. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (A variable difficulty level would increase my anticipation. Echoes was infinitely more frustrating than the original)
05. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Prev. title was 'okay'. Hoping for better things with this one)
06. Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal (I've always had a soft spot for LT titles. Sheep Raider was one of the most fun games on the PS1)

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

5. John Woo Presents Stranglehold
4. Mass Effect
3. Guitar Hero 2 (360)
2. Bio Shock
1. Halo 3

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

My oldest is waiting for Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

1) MGS4
2) Stranglehold
3) Assassin's Creed
4) God of War 2
5) Devil May Cry 4

PS3 buggy? With all the updates, it is pretty darn stable.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

Bioshock
Mass Effect
Assassin's Creed
SPORE!!!!!!

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

1) God of War II (PS2)
2) Devil May Cry 4 (PS3)

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

In no particular order:

Super Mario Galaxy
Halo 3
Spore
Anything from Bethesda

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

Well there are rumors that MGS 4 is coming out for the Xbox 360.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

Those were already squelched completely, confirmed as false by Kojima himself. It will be PS3 exclusive at launch, though it may come out for the other consoles.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

For me, the only one I'm most looking forward to is Half Life 2: Episode Two for the PC.

I think it's expected to be released either in the summer or autumn of 2007, possibly later. Like Episode One and Lost Coast before it, I hope Valve continue to include the option for commentary/behind the scenes demos for Episode Two. I enjoy gaining this insight into the making of the Half Life 2 world on top of experiencing a fantastic game.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

In no particular order:

* Super Paper Mario (Wii)
* Spore (PC)
* Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
* Anything Firaxis (PC)
* Big Brain Academy (Wii)

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

1. Forza Motorsports 2
2. Assassin's Creed
3. Halo 3
4. Fable 2
5. Possibly a new THQ MX/ATV game or Moto GP 07

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

In order of how badly I want them (LOL)

1. FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage (Xbox 360)
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
3. Virtua Tennis 3 (XBox 360)
4. No More Heroes (Wii)
5. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
6. Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)

I'm also curious about:
1. Super Paper Mario (Wii)
2. Eternal Sonata (XBox 360)

I've never played any of the "Paper Mario" games, but it sure does look great!

Also, I'm not into RPGs but "Eternal Sonata" sounds very interesting.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

It took me a while to respond to this because I wasn't sure of my fifth but after I just saw the new trailer on Live, it goes:

1. Halo 3
2. Bioshock
3. Assasin's Creed
4. GTA IV
5. and now, Darkness!

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

Those are defintiely good choices.

I would have Halo 3, The Darkness and Bioshock in my top 5. After that, I probably would have NCAA Football 2008 and Super Mario Galaxy.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

I see that a bunch of us put Bioshock down as highly anticipated for 2007, and after seeing a video demo given by the creative director, Ken Levine, I can now see why.

If you didn't already know, it's being released tomorrow as the regular version as well as a collector's version which includes a "making of" dvd, cd soundtrack, and "Big Daddy" (a hulking old-style-diving-suit character from the game) sculpture apparently exclusively at EB Games and Gamestop. Based on the background music from the official Web site, the cd soundtrack sounds especially promising.

-----

Also, after seeing other video demos with commentary, I'm now also looking forward to Starcraft 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4 in addition to Half Life 2: Episode 2.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

Easy list for me.

Been waiting for Bioshock since I first heard about it. I love the look and setting of the game, looks truly unique. I am definately NOT a shooter fan, but want this game very much.

Limited Edition reserved for tomorrow... for PC.


Aside from that game, the one I want the most is The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass. So can not wait for this game. Wind Waker was a masterpeice to me, so this "sequel" is one I must have!

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

I was up until 4:30AM playing Bioshock last night.

Awesome. Totally immersive. Exciting. Fun. Beautiful environments. I'd enter a room and just spend time looking around at everything. I finally got to take on my first Big Daddy (I told myself no quitting until I face off with one) and it was a rush.

Almost all I can think about during this very sleepy day at work is going home to pick it up again.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

Yeah I know how you feel, I keep thinking about it today at work.

I was definately not up till 4am though...no way I could handle that!

Love the game though, especially the setting. I have the PC version and it's been running wonderfully. I meet the recommended specs, except my Video Card has 256 Ram, Not 512. Doesn't seem to make a difference though.

I will admit I'm playing on Easy, but I plowed through the first Big Daddy frighteningly fast. Like 20 seconds fast. I had read for months how they were gonna be these epic 15 minute fights...and was taken a little aback at how fast I dropped one.

But I'm playing the game mostly for the enviroment, and more importantly, to see the storyline. Not much of a shooter fan in general but had to make an exception for this excellent game.

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

At this late date:
1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
3. Bioshock*
4. Half-Life 2: Episode 2
5. Dewey's Adventure (coming out very soon, looks cool!)
6. Spore (IS this even coming out in the next decade?)

* My computer is too slow to run Bioshock efficiently, and I don't own a 360, so I won't be enjoying this great game anytime soon. However, it's still on the 'most wanted" list!

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

Bioshock is wonderful for 360, too. Man, it looks good. I do the same thing...after I beat up anyone that is trying to kill me, I wander around rooms looking out portholes or poking through debris. I had my first Big Daddy fight and I am on medium and it was pretty tense at that level. It took a good 10 minutes and I was pretty well ready for it. I had to reload a couple times, too (I don't like the regen booths...would rather restart will all my gear and try again). Easy must be VERY easy. These things are super-fast, at least the first one. I was running, turning, shooting, running and so on. I had shock and AP ammo saved the day, though. Other ammo just plings off harmlessly.

I took one one other one and led a merry chase to get it to a pool of water I could zap. I eventually killed it but when I went back looking for the Little Sister, I couldn't find her! Gah! I will have to reload and try again. To me, this is the finest FPS since the original Half Life (and I can't wait for 2 on Xbox this fall). This going to be a tough game season. After a long dry period (I only bought one new 360 game since Rainbow Six last winter) but now I have about a half-dozen awesome games lining up between now and X-Mas! Boo!!

Anyway, my list since this is original intent of thread:

5) Stranglehold (demo pretty fun...will have to see if it doesn't get redundant in actual play).
4) Half Life 2 Orange Box
3) Mercenaries 2
2) Halo 3- Not as jazzed as these other games for single player but all my RB6 Friend's List will jump to this so I HAVE to get it if I want to play online with them!
1) Mass Effect- The game to end all games.

Man, need a THIRD job to get all these!

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

While BioShock looks incredible, and I've seen it and think "wow".. articles like this one:

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=41921

As well as forums I've read make me think I'm way better off to avoid it, no matter how good it is ;(

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

Definitely COD4, I got pulled for the early Beta, I think its actually going to give Halo3 a run for its money

Re: Most Wanted Games for 2007

I have the PC version of Bioshock and haven't had a single problem. That article still got me wondering though.
