Lego Batman they seem to be making lego versions of all the games these days though they have a certain appeal.
Prince of Persia yet another reinvention of the classic line this time no sands of time.
Dead Space a sort of knock off resident evil in space game. Shows some promise.
Fable 2 the first one was fun in a very light hack and slash way this one has supposedly more depth but it's a moleynaux game and he has the habit of promising the moon on a stick then just delivering half a stick.
Saints Row 2 the first one was a gta knock off with some interesting innovations this one looks similar.
Ghost Busters the video game this looks interesting it has involvement of most of the major cast (all the ghost busters) and the script is penned by ramis and akaroid. It could be a great addition.
Resident Evil 5 Leaving asside the slight overtones of racisim the game looks promising.
Mirror's Edge as well as churning out umpteen battlefield versions Dice decide to try something new a first person parcour action fps of sorts. Some of the current videos look interesting but it will come down to how good the controls are I think.
Rage ID tech 5 game. I've always thought ID are not good at making games just good engines.
Fallout 3 I'm a Big fan of the fallout series and this new one by bethesda of oblivion fame is looking good so far.
Too Human Cyber norse mythology is interesting I just don't know from what I read wether the game is any cop. I could try the demo if it weren't for the fact that my 360 is toast.
Halo Wars halo but in an rts.

A super list, sir.
I'm most looking forward to Ghostbusters. If done right, it could be great. And could make for some great co-op. As long as I don't get my face burnt off with an overlong beam.
Mirror's Edge looks like a chuckle, the videos going around are great. I do fear the FUCKING FPS JUMPING PUZZLE. Where you can't see your feet or the edge. No doubt, this will have sorted that out.
hmmm...Mirrors Edge. I can only see it working one of 2 ways
1) The most horrendous controls you've ever seen, where doing anything at all requires a vulcan nerve grip on the handset
2) The most generic context-specific control's you've ever seen, where all you ever do is press X
I'm currently leaning towards it being the latter, with the controls basically being running towards red items and pressing X, which then triggers the correct action for that object. Its railroads by any other name.
A biggie thats come out is the Wiimote Enhancement, which apparently allows 1:1 mation control. It clips onto the hilt, and basically screams for lightsabre action. Wii Music, on the other hand, looks shit.
Assassins Creed used the #2 hit x method and was still pretty good fun.
From what I read they are aiming for something between the two options, no one has yet played the game outside of dice which is something to watch till someone independent gets their mits on it we won't know how well it all hangs together.
I saw the wiimote thing it's interesting though I wonder how much it will be used, the rule with extra addon peripherals required for games is usually don't as no one will buy it. Of course nintendo don't seem to have that problem more they never make enough of anything (or as some economists have suggested they artificially limit supply to keep their sales high and continually meet estimates)
My guess would be that Nintendo will package it with a big name game to get it out there (ala the Balance Board + Wii Fit). The screamingly obvious one includes Lightsabres, though Wii Sports 2 (which seems to have fencing in there) would be another option.
Technically the nunchuk is an optional extra, and plenty of games use that...
Some other interesting stuff like God of War 3, Dark Void, and conduit that looked pretty lousy till I found out it was a wii title.
I'm so looking foward to Fallout 3.
EA have said there will be Knight of the Old Republic MMO

Sounds good so long as they don't fuck it up KOTOR was great and people have been suggesting an mmo based on it for ages
