A few days ago, Joe took us through the Most Anticipated Wii Games in 2008, and by popular demand, I’m here to do the same with the 360. I have to say that the 360’s future offerings aren’t up to par with the Wii right now, unless you’re a die-hard sports game nut like myself. The titles were still all pretty easy to pick though, and hopefully will live up to their hype.
There are several games I’m really looking forward to that are coming out for the Wii in 2008. Here are my top five. Each with a few reasons why I think the game will be awesome and a few things that might make it a disappointment. Three Nintendo exclusives made my list and two cross platform games crept into my top five. Without any further ado here are the games that I’m most looking forward to in 2008 for the Wii.
Not a whole lot of things share the cult status of the Mario Kart franchise. One of the few I can think of is Star Wars. People swear by it’s very existence. An empty box with the words “Star Wars” on it will be vehemently defended as the best thing ever by some people. Mario Kart shares this following. The comparison continues if you think about the Star Wars prequels compared to the GameCube’s Mario Kart Double Dash. High hopes, lofty promises, but overall a pretty mediocre product (save for Star Wars Episode III, which I loved). It feels good to say that Mario Kart DS has broken the mold of the failed GCN offering and brought Mario Kart back to it’s original shine.
Once you hit the age where you have to get a steady job, your days tend to get pretty monotonous. No more wondering what you’ll be doing on a certain day or night, you pretty much already know. You’ll wake up early, go to work, have lunch, work some more, then come home. Generally do something entertaining, eat dinner, watch some TV, then go to bed and repeat it all. Every so often, maybe you’ll go out and meet a friend for a beer, or do something fun. But generally, the daily grind has set in. I thought the life of an assassin would be different. Full of excitement and danger, but apparently I was wrong. If you follow Assassin’s Creed, covert ops men have the same dull life as the rest of us.
