Gamer Am I - I couldn't fit any more poll options. D= So since they are both new music-peripheral games I grouped them together.

And Wander - it would be silly if I just put an equal number of games for each format in the list, because I don't think anyone would disagree that the Wii has had a bit of a games drought that should hopefully break soon. Only Guitar hero III and Mario Galaxy were really up there with the games released on other platforms this year. It's not favouritism. =) Similarly, the 360 has had a massive year with lots of acclaimed games released on it - most third-party games are released on it as well as PS3 or PC, so it tends to have a port of the majority of highly-awarded games on other platforms (eg: Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4, etc). The fact is last year most of the really brilliant games got released on it in conjunction with other consoles - you'll notice the PS3 has a lot of games in the lsit too, despite having very few excellent exclusive titles it got a lot of the brilliant third-party titles that were also released on 360 and PC.

Oh, and Wolfbane - you're really missing out then! =O

 

I loved Creed, but it got a bit too repetitive. If they could have added a bit more variety and things to do, it would be perfect (sequels usually fix that sort of stuff, so waiting for #2 now! =D)

PS3 should have a good year:
Metal Gear Solid 4
Final Fantasy XIII
Killzone 2
Resistance 2
Haze

However, MGS has always come out on Xbox a few months after (Sony-exclusivity contract expiry), Square is now friends with Microsoft (Infinite Undiscovery 360-exclusive, Last Remnant on PS3 and 360, Project Sylpheed and Vampire's Rain 360-exclusive (though both sucked). Haze is also not developed by Sony, but only an exclusivity contract held so it should go to 360 and PC a few months after release.

And finally, I remember all the hype around the original Killzone with even journalists labeling it a Halo-killer. They changed their tune though when it was released...so I wouldn't put too much faith in it yet. I personally believe it should stick handheld-exclusive, as the PSP Killzone was a top-down shooter that worked brilliantly. They've got Resistance now as a good exclusive FPS. Out of those 5 most anticipated PS3 games, only Killzone and Resistance 2 are published by Sony, and the market trend definitely shows that about 90% of third-party games end up getting released on 360 as well.

2007 was Year of the First-Person Shooter (Halo 3, Bioshock, Orange Box, CoD4, STALKER, UT3 and Crysis in the list above), but 2008 is looking like a good year for RPGs and open-world games like GTA4, Saint's Row 2 and Prototype.
