Now that the new year is here, I’d like to do what others have done and that’s to present my ten most anticipated games of 2007.
TNA Impact by Midway
PS3, X360, WII – TBA 2007
Ever since I started watching TNA in mid-2005, I’ve been ready for a game to be made. Midway has been given that task and at least at this point we can see that it looks good visually. I really hope that they do this game better than just above average like most of their titles.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary by Crystal Dynamics
PS2, PSP, PC – TBA 2007
Ever since the beginning I’ve been aware of the Tomb Raider series. I just never cared that much to bother with the games. That all changed once I got a glimpse of Legend. This time it looked like a game that I actually might want to play. Upon its release I played the game and loved it. Now I’m a fan of what Crystal Dynamics has accomplished and I’m ready for the remake of the original game!
Burnout Dominator by Criterion Games
PS2, PSP – Q1 2007
My introduction to this franchise was Burnout 3: Takedown. I loved every second of that game and I still go back to it every so often. My favorite mode has to be Road Rage. When I started playing the sequel, Revenge, I wasn’t as enthralled with that game. I have yet to play very much of it as compared to Takedown. Here’s to hoping that Dominator gets back to what I loved about Takedown. No multi-paths needed. Just great arcade style racing that only Criterion can provide.
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames by Pandemic Studios
PS3 – TBA
I’m currently having a blast playing The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. I haven’t played a game with this kind of misc. mayhem since I last played Mercenaries back in February. Because of that I’m really looking forward to the release of the sequel, World in Flames.
Other anticipated games of 2007:
Assassin’s Creed by Ubisoft
X360, PS3, PC – TBA 2007
Black 2 by Criterion Games
X360, PS3 – TBA
Fall of Liberty by Spark Unlimited
PS3, PC, X360 – Q4 2007
God of War II by SCEA
PS2 – February 2007
Stranglehold by Midway
PC, PS3, X360 – Q2 2007
The Darkness by Starbreeze
PS3, X360 – Q2 2007
