Top 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2007

advertisement

Experience has taught me that oftentimes, gamers are better off taking projected release dates with a grain of salt, but I can't help but feel like 2007 is going to be one of the best years in gaming history. There are enough high profile titles on the way to drown a fish, and they all look outstanding. I had trouble limiting it to only 10 of them - so I didn't. Here are my most anticipated games of the coming year:

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

What game are you most anticipating? For me I think it's GTA4.

I think I'll be more excited about GTA4 once there's some real details on it. I want to see much tighter controls this time around.

I'm probably most excited for Mass Effect, personally.

As of now, it's a bit over two weeks.

Word has it this one will be another "redefinition" for the series. My theory? Theft in space.

I'm anticipating "Spores" however my laptop wouldn't be able to run it anyway. I'm really excited to hear that Sim City will be coming to the Nintendo DS too.

What I wish had a ship date :
- Duke Nukem Forever, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Nukem_Forever
- Carmageddon "Update", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmageddon

"I'm Duke Nukem and I'm coming to get the rest of you alien bastards!"

I suppose these are this guy's most anticipated games, because otherwise the placement of some doesn't really make any sense. Super Paper Mario beating nearly everything? I'm looking forward to the game, but geez.

We have no idea if GTA4 or White Knight Story are coming out this year, as far as I understand.

I suppose Super Mario Galaxy is among my tops, along with Assassin's Creed. I'm a bit surprised he didn't include other Nintendo titles forthcoming like Prime 3 or Super Smash Bros Brawl.
