It seems that with DICE over and GDC winding down every site on the internet wants to post a list of “most anticipated games” the baits flamewars like oil baits real wars. As soon as one of these things hits the internet out comes the semi-illiterate trolls to complain about how Little Big Planet got such a high ranking or the fact that Final Fantasy 13 VS isn’t on the list. Said fanboys always have a list of their own, which spawns smaller clusters of arguments.
That’s not to say there shouldn’t be arguments, after looking over the upcoming games this year, ranging from Brawl next month to Gears 2 in November I’ve come to one conclusion. 2008 will have more kickass games than could possible be fit into a short list. Any number under 50 would be unjust simply to the indy scene, what with it’s Fez’s and Audiosurfery.
GTA 4, 2 Days to Vegas, Kane’s Wrath, Halo Wars, Spore, Ninja Gaiden 2, Little Big Planet, Gears of War 2, hell even Duke Nukem Forever’s RSVP’d for the sequel to 07’s stellar lineup. So for the love of fuck-sake stop making lists.
