Great Games in 2008, But What About Now?

With all the hit releases in 2008, What Is Yet to come in The New Year?

In 2008, we saw many hit games like Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Metal Gear Solid 4, Fable 2, Little Big Planet and Grand Theft Auto 4 it made me wonder what was in store for 2009. After a bit of research, here are some of the games to look out for in the year 2009.

* Skate 2 - This is the second game in the skate series and is a sequel to the first. It involves player to use the environment given as a big skate park. It has now more than double the amount of tricks that can be performed in the first game.

* Saints Row 2 - For the PC. This game is like GTA (Grand Theft Auto) both having a sandbox type world and both involving gangs and shooting. Even though the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions were reported to have many bugs, I think THQ and Volition will fix these problems for the PC version.

* F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin - This time instead of being Point man you are a delta force operator who is sent thirty minutes before the ending of F.E.A.R. to arrest Genevieve Aristide. Even though you are a different character, players will get the ability to use the slow motion feature shown in the first game, later on as the game progresses.

* Street Fighter IV - Street Fighter 4 contains the characters fighting in a 2D environment, like the previous versions of the game. However, the characters in the game are in 3D. It has given a makeover in game play, now including things like focus attacks (your character absorbs an attack and then does a counterattack against the other player) and Super Combos shown in Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

* Resident Evil 5 - Taking place 10 years after the first Resident Evil, you play as a man named Chris Redfield. Throughout the game, it will give players answers a more indepth explanation on the orgin of the virus.

Some other games to consider for 2009:

* God of War III

* The Godfather II

* Indiana Jones

* Guitar Hero: Metallica

* Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

* Bionic Commando

* Mass Effect 2

* Tekken 6

* Wolfenstein

I hope that this list will help you when choosing video games. Good luck picking and happy Gaming!
