As you well know, there are several potential "big hit" titles this year. If you could pick one game this year, what would it be? As for me, I would have to pick Fable 2. As much as I would love to get my hands on Gears of War 2, Too Human, or the new Prince of Persia installment, I would love it more if I can dive into the world of Fable 2. From the looks of it, Fable 2 looks immersive with lush and highly detailed environments, and wonderful NPCs that embody this fantasty world. I know for sure that I'll be forever lost in its immersiveness. It is going to be one of those games that I'll be playing from hours on end.

Imakillaholic: I loved Chrono Trigger for SNES. Too bad I dont have a DS. Lol, thanks, I think a couple of posts should level me up.
Strife88: Mirror's Edge, great choice. Is it going to come out this year? They really made it sound like it was. Well, I hope so. Looks like ME is going to have a huge environment. Cant wait.
Craigalan23: You'll have plenty to choose from with the older games. That's what I pretty much did when I got my Xbox 360 after Christmas. Now, I pretty much just rent games that score under 9.0 with the research that I do along with it. I dont totally base my decision on scores. I go with review, research, and gut feeling. But big hit titles like Gears of War 2 or Fable 2 is a must buy. But I'm really putting myself out there for Too Human. It's either a hit or miss. Previews are already bashing the game pretty bad. The only thing they pointed out that made me feel a bit quirky was the camera. That can easily ruin a great game. eBay is pretty awesome just for buying games. I wouldnt recommend buying anything else on there though.
Darrenfps: Gears of War 2 seems to be the prime choice. Haha. I dont blame you guys. I still think Gears of War is the best Xbox 360 exclusive today, and right up there with MGS4 in terms of all-time favorite. Gears of War is one of those games, I can pick up and play again and I'll never get bored. I dont know why but yeah. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed looks incredible. Graphics, physics, and gameplay looks slick. Check it out. I'm picking it up day one as well.
Symphonycometh: I'll do backflips if Final Fantasy XIII came out this year. I'll even youtube it. Haha jk. I'm exaggerating but it would be stellar!
With so many "supposed" endings I could keep playing and playing trying to get the lot.
Jaforbe: Call of Duty 4, I have to say is the best first-person shooter I've come across since Goldeneye 64.
Craigalan23: Becoming quite the collector arent we? Single player games, do you have BioShock? Mass Effect is great too. I'm probably one of the few people who really get into multiplayer games. I'm more of a single player campaign kind of guy. Nothing like a good story, beautiful graphics, and likeable characters with great voice acting.
bigtimegamer413: Who could resist exploring a postapocalyptic world? I certainly cannot wait.
It's true enemies are either dumb or smart and some levels are downright impossible though. Either way you'll enjoy it and get plenty of laughs. The multiplayer's great only thing i dislike is if your team sucks you're gonna get beat down. You have to be pretty good to make up for a bad team. Good thing though is you can invite friends so at least your team wont be that bad.
There's currently only one mode but it's loads of fun and conquest will be a free download in a few weeks. 8 levels all very different and need you to use your brain not just charge and fire. Unlocking credits to get new weapons is pretty fun. No annoying uav scanner so if you prefer alittle sneaking around or jumping into the enemies base to get plenty of kills it'll be fun.
It's not the greatest game ever but i think it deserves an 8.7. Well worth the purchase and vehicle combat kicks ***.
Brutal Legend has that twisted metal feel to it. It's actually pretty cool and I'm liking it more and more.

If I had to choose one, it would be MGS4.
However, I'm still getting Resistance 2, and LBP this year.
Next year will be FFXIII
