Any games to get excited about in 2009?

[fba827]

Not that I will necessarily get to play these, but the ones I am most excited to see are ...

(That I know of, I can't account for ones that I don't know about.. and, I don't follow news on this stuff so I may be missing a lot)

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Dragon Age: origins
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion (not because i expect it to be the greatest game in the world, but rather because my friends and I had fun playing the first one together so it's more a 'group game')

Except Battleforge (don't know the title yet)

The new game from the Spellforce makers. Online strategy game, that looks - at least - interesting.

Well here is my list for 2009:

-Empire: Total War
-Dragon Age: Origins
-Starcraft 2
-Dawn of War II
-Diablo III
-Mirror's Edge (PC version comes out in early 2009)
-Fable II (hopefully PC version in 2009)

That is what I can think of right now, probably think of more later.

Street Fighter IV looks like something to be excited about.

Loads of stuff I'm looking forward to in 2009:

PS3: Killzone 2, GoW3, Uncharted 2, White Knight Chronicles, FF13 & FFV13 (yeah yeah, I know - we'll believe it when we see it), Gran Turismo 5 (yeah, another maybe)

X360: Star Ocean 4

Cross-Platform: Resident Evil 5, CoD:MW2, Bioshock 2

PSP: Dissidia Final Fantasy, LocoRoco 2, Patapon 2, Resistance Retribution (and who knows if we'll get KH:Birth by Sleep, FF Agito XIII, and/or Parasite Eve: The 3rd Birthday in '09)

DS: Dragon Quest 5, Dragon Quest 6, Dragon Quest 9, Valkyrie Profile:CotP, Suikoden Tierkreis, Blue Dragon Plus, FFCC: Echoes of Time (and maybe KH:358/2 Days?)

so after a few years of Microsoft eating PS3's babies...is this the year PS3 finally plays the better hand in exclusive titles?

Already happened in 2008, AFAIC.

Yeah, but XBox and Wii are still killing PS3 in sales.

xBox 360:
Halo Wars (1st QT);

Halo: ODST "Recon" (4th QT)


A CoD5 Modern Warfare II would be cool.

Pretty unlikely to ever happen. MS would have to really get lax to match PS3"s laxness. PS3 didn't even give us a price cut this holiday season. They're hanging a bit too much on the whole blue-ray thing, as players are getting pretty cheap now.

Um.... let me think. YES!!!!

1) Dawn of War 2
2) Diablo 3
3) Starcraft 2 (it just might be out in 2009 according to XPlay on G4)
