Seen as we're almost at the end of a pretty decent year in gaming IMO I thought I'd have a look at what most people are looking forward to in the next 12 months. Although a lot of the hype has died down I'm still expecting great things (eventually) from Sony's PS3. IF I manage to get hold of one at launch (extremely unlikely) I'll be expecting big things from MGS4 and DMC4 but erm...that's about it. Despite my initial excitment, the fact that more and more titles are coming to the 360 as well now does make me feel a little more indifferent towards the PS3. I expect that to change though. As for actual games, I'm looking forward to a 360 version of Half-Life 2, Gears of War 2 possibly?, Resident Evil 5 (New footage please!) and hopefully we'll have a couple of decent adventure games coming out for the PC. |

Looking forward to Guitar Hero on the 360. I hope for the tracklisting of both of the previous games on PS2, as well as a wireless controller. I hope for MGS4 on the 360. Actually I expect it. Or at least an announcement that it will happen because unless the PS3 has an outrageous price drop this year there's no way I'm going to get one. With that in mind I'd love a 360 version of Motorstorm too. A clone would do - Smugglers Run 360 online. Yum. C&C Tiberium Wars - C&C on my sofa. I might preorder now. Battlestations Midway may fill the void in the interim - definitely keeping my eye on that. Looking forward to some good adventuring with Alan Wake, Blue Dragon and Mass Effect Otherwise, Forza 2 is looking good, as is Bioshock, Final Fantasy III on the DS, not to mention Halo 3 and GTA4. I'm also looking forward to the board game conversions that are being produced for Xbox Live Arcade - Settlers of Catan and Carcasonne in particular. I'm a reasonably big board game geek. |

Wii- Super Mario Galaxy of course. Not sure what else but i am sure there will be some surprise excellence that comes out of left field for the machine. Might need to wait for devs to get over the novelty factor of it. Xbox 360- Lost Planet a wee bit. Love the thought of an alien ice world. Bioshock is hyped up and might deliver. Advanced A I and a quirky setting. Halo 3 i suppose despite it looking a little bit old hat. I expect it will play well enough but I hope the story picks up from 2. Dark Sector looks pretty swish though its out on the PS3 too. Graphics are amazing. Mass Effect is ambitious, KOTOR type stuff but hopefully better and with more freedom. Explore and interact with a whole galaxy PS3 The 'ground up' PS3 games actually look quite special and very ambitious and a league apart from the 3rd party stuff. Heavenly Sword- Looked fantastic months ago this could be a slick and enjoyable 'Goddess of War' type game Warhawk- Latest footage shows that you can land the ship and fight on foot or in vehicles. The scale of it could be awesome. Motorstorm- Physics ahoy and a racer that for once tries to do more than just look shiny and pretty but sterile and done to death. Lair- Could be great/could be awful. Developed for Blu Ray apparently this is so big it couldn't be done on the 360. Huge armies for you to swoop down on in your dragon and fight. Haze- Developed by Timesplitters team we can expect something fun, slick and playable at the very least. Afrika- a strange and quirky safari type sim which looks bloody stunning. Anything could happen with this. White Knight- looks stunning RPG turn based stuff. |

Guitar Hero 360. If it has a camera option to weird out your co-op partner. That would be great, otherwise = meh. MGS4. I love Snake. Half Life super-death multipass pack. Missed HL2 totally, not having a PC, so looking forwards to this. Alan Wake. Well until it got delayed til 2008... Bioshock. Something from the creators of System Shock 2? Yes please. Mass Effect. Probably, it looks more encouraging than most 360 FPSs/shooters for 2007, but i have reservations. I'm hoping for a next-gen Tenchu/ninja game and some weird demon-possessed scarf while roling on a ball mecha Japanese strangeness, but not really sure what else is due out. There's a bunch of encouraging PSP games too, but as always its wait and see. |

Guitar Hero II for Xbox 360 has been confirmed as a March release (in the US at least) There are to be 10 exclusive tracks, with the best being The Trooper by Iron Maiden, even if it is not an orginal recording. Which I am sure Juz will agree is a classic tune. More info here Picture of Xbox 360 controller here |

Actually, despite my mate's best efforts I've never really been into Maiden that much. I know that makes me sound like a bit of a plastic metalhead (I know what I mean), but I always went for Sabbath and Priest rather than the Maiden. I did actually have Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, and I do like some of their songs individually (Run To The Hills, natch, and the one that used to be on the Daley Thompson Lucozade ad - remember that?). IF the 360 was gonna get a wireless guitar I could almost justify it, but I can't...and I may not even get the PS2 sequel....time till the baby arrives is running out fast

They say playing music to a baby can be formative for it's development and tastes. Do you really want Juz Jr. to turn out liking Britney-pop or teh Sabbath? :ph43r: I'd get GH2 and say to the Mrs that you're helping Juz Jr. to grow into a better person - plus you'll get free gaming time and karma with her! |

That's as good an excuse as any for creating another metalhead. My boy used to fall asleep to Metallicas Sandman when he was a baby. We would park his buggy in front of the bass bins!! |

i didn't get around to getting CoD3 but considering the feedback i'm lucky i didn't! still having a great time with 2 anyways...if they're going to go the PES route and crank out one a year hopefully CoD4 will be nice and fixed (or maybe they'll actually release a game when it's ready...). isn't GTA 4 out this year? or is it a 2008 job? Forza 2's on my wish list, i loved the first one and this looks very nice. MoH Airborne looked impressive a while back but haven't heard anything for a while... just checked the incoming list on play and GRAW 2 is coming out a year after 1, even though that had serious problems...i'm not too sure about this. |

@ Zed & Darkie: Get this: went to Mama's & Papa's looking for baby stuff (can't belive I wrote that, but never mind) and found an automated baby-rocker: not only does it rock electrically, it has a canopy with loads of LED's that move in patterns. It also plays plinky-plonky music, but get a load of this: it also allows for an MP3 player to be hooked up to it!!!! GET IN!!! Juzzy Jr. can go to sleep to the dulcet tones of War Pigs or Victim of Changes. I'm getting one, no doubt EDIT: Does this get the award for most Off Topic thread ever??? |

Juz - dont do it. If the baby gets used to being rocked to sleep there's the risk that he / she will *require* to be rocked to sleep - not a happy place to be. ps. Hope the pregnancy's going well. |
