2008 is over and a new year looms over us like a storm-cloud of awesomeness. Now we turn into meteorologists, scanning that coming thunder to try and forecast what 2009 might hold for gamers. Or, in other words, we look at some of the best games 2009 might bring.

Not seen anything about Offset before

oh my gosh!

bridgesentry · 7th Jan 2009, 10:11

Like Fallout3 for 2008 . I only wait to see Duck Nukem Forever for 2009

EnglishLion · 7th Jan 2009, 10:17

Think I might have to try out the new Total War, it's a series I've not ever played and I really think I should. Apart from that Mafia looks good - of course!

'99 · 7th Jan 2009, 10:29

Missing info about Tom Clancy's EndWar... If it is comeing to PC this year. It looks great in the trailer... A game I was looking forward to in 2008.

Does anyone remember seeing a trailer for a game that was unveiled at E3 where it was like a panning shot of a run down city with Russian text on signs and stuff. Something happened at the end, but I can't remember for the life of me, but I know I was intrigued.

Mafia 2 should be epic, didnt you get shot at the end of Mafia tho? BRING ON THE DUKE!

Arkanrais · 7th Jan 2009, 10:52

What? No mention of starcraft or diablo?
No matter. From the list, F.E.A.R. 2 is the only one I'm looking forward to.
Also, on the ghostbusters part, didn't activision merge with all of vivendi universal, or was it just blizzard?

Seems like everyone knows about Starcraft 2 & D3, as these haven't been mentioned

I have already seen pre-orders for Starcraft 2(terran campaign) and I'm really worried that they'll try to "milk" it. It's price(more than 30$ here) is pretty high given it's only one episode(yet 30 missions or so they claim). I hope next episodes will be cheaper.

Yes, main character was shot in the end of the game. I think it's based on different character/city/story.

Did you see ArmA 2? There's trailer at http://www.arma2.com/ and it looks pretty good. Though animations looks as usually choppy. I hope it'll be more story driven than original ArmA(but since they listened to customers complaints and patched out starforce, I've got good faith in this game). I love those(10 min) long cutscenes from Op Flashpoint

Call of duty 6

By Infinity ward.

Paradigm Shifter · 7th Jan 2009, 11:10

So many of them look awesome.

If half of them are as good as they could be... I'm gonna be so broke this year.

icutebluezone · 7th Jan 2009, 11:13

F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin is the one i want to see.

There's a new character, mate! It has nothing to do with the original game.

Btw, any news about StarCraft 2? I have no idea what's going on...

tominated · 7th Jan 2009, 11:45

nothing about prototype? that game looks so awesome in the very little vids that are available.

Don't talk quackers, man!

Alan Wake and perhaps HL2 ep3 are what I'm looking forward to.

bogie170 · 7th Jan 2009, 11:56

Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2
Battlefield 3 (Any News?)
Star Wars: Battlefront 3 (New Developer)
Dead Space 2
Elite
Alan Wake
Half Life

Any news on any of these?

Yet there are five games console exclusives, two games PC exclusive and six games are all platform of the thirteen games. Not including the last page with "duke for never" and "project way offset". I hope the sadness I had during 2008 because of the abandonment of PC game development will hopefully turn around in 2009. And I am not even counting the dozen of canceled titles

TomH · 7th Jan 2009, 12:14

Project Offset has had my attention since the moment the tech demos appeared. I think I'd be more interested to play that than DNF, however, DNF and FEAR 2 are also very high up on my list of 'hopefully they don't come out before I have a chance to upgrade' titles.

Thinking about it, Offset is probably quiet because Larabee isn't out yet.. I'm betting we'll see them both at the same time, and it'll be awesome when they do surface.
