Fallout 3, easily. Bethesda blew me away with Oblivion, so I'll be pretty happy to bet my coins on this one, especially after all the juicy previews and gameplay videos.
Name that one game that is on top of your list this quarter

Capt. Bland's Monotonous Adventure!
HAHA
Fable 2. The law of averages says that Peter Molyneux has struck gold this time!
Needless to say this is going to be one of the best quarters ever for the games industry. Fable, Gears, Fallout, WoW, LittleBigPlanet, COD World at War, Far Cry, Starcraft! it's going to be great, and have something for everyone!

Well, World at War is by Treyarch, so I'm cautious with that one...Brockyman post=9.72415.762095 said:
I agree, LBP just doesn't tickle my todger. Surely, PC owners have been able to design their own platform games for years? I accept this may be selling the game somewhat short. But the videos look far from revolutionary - looks like an HD Wii game to me.Mr.Pandah post=9.72415.761654 said:
Fallout 1 and (especially) 2 were richly atmospheric, beautifully designed, post-apocalyptic RPG's with oodles of ultra-violence, full of witty pop references (from A Boy and His Dog to Mad Max to Monty Python) and laced with biting, sardonic humour. Go play 'em!k3v1n post=9.72415.759829 said:
As I was an Incredible Machine crack-head for years, there was no doubt in my mind Little Big Planet was going to be great since it's unveiling late last year. I'm actually a bit put-off by all the craze that's being whipped up around it, makes me not want to buy it in fact, but there's no way I can resist. I don't think it will really appeal to that many people though.
As for PC owners being able to design their own games... Yeah, but not in-game. Only Garry's Mod and a few others do something vaguely similar, but its not really the same. I could simply C++/JAVA/Delphi anything together, but there's just so much work involved there, a more focused toolset of which you can explore the limits is a much different experience.

Well, I still play StarCraft so I'm keeping my eye on that bugger. There's no way it's coming this year. I've read that the powers that be at blizzard have said you'll be playing D3 before SC2, but I find that rather incredible. If pressed I'd call Starcraft 2 to be launched in the second half of 2009.

The game I'll probably get this spring (autumn for you north hemispherians) is Fallout 3. Looks like it'll be enjoyable, and funny, and have some staying power.
Mirrors Edge looks good, but it'll probably have to go on my list of stuff to get when I'm not so broke, along with Bioshock and BF:BC.
Edit: And Mass Effect. Maybe.

I'm curious about Mirror's Edge and Fallout 3 of course, mostly Mirror's Edge because I don't trust Bethesda to not screw the Fallout franchise up.
I love RPG's, but the Elder Scrolls series frankly bored me silly. I only ever got to the end of Daggerfall (despite ten thousand bugs, each a game-killer on its own, but it was the only large new game available that year). I gave up on Morrowind and Oblivion out of pure boredom (this from a man who let the computer auto-race Forza 2 just to win enough to get all cars - despite hating racing games*), and from what I've heard of the endings it was a good call. So yeah, I HOPE Fallout 3 is good but I'm actually counting on it to be really awful.
And for crying out loud, Lego Batman seems AWESOME. (Not quite a jest, actually. I love Batman and Lego Games
(I think I'll buy Viva Pinata - Trouble in Paradise this weekend, btw. The first was just pure, unbridled fun. Does that put it on my list? Maybe.)
*I got Forza 2 for free with Viva Pinata. Would not have bought it separately!

I doubt that'll happen. Molyneux seems big on this unconditional love thing. The kid would probably follow in your footsteps, kill his wife and kick his baby into an orphanage, and thus begins a vicious cycle and the question of why no one has called the guards yet.C Lion post=9.72415.762641 said:
I need Fable 2.
If I was denied it I would kill someone. Seriously I would walk around telling nuns and babies to go fuck themselves then trip them down stairs. If ANYONE denies me this game i will kill them while crying.
I would give up every other game coming out this year for It.
It is my ULTRA-game. I already said this but I need this game. It's that game that everyone has that they will defend from everyone, even if it isn't that good. But Fable 2 won't have to worry about that as it's Epic may deny all disbelievers.
I am crazy for this game.
