Beat me to it. But FF XIII in Fall '08 seems...a bit early =/

 Seconded, I don't think we will see that game until early 09. 

Also-- WiiFit Spring 08.  ;_;
I hadmyself all hyped up because I thought it was supposed to come out January 2nd.

 You're putting too much faith in a declining series.

Yea, it does seem a little to early for FFXIII in the Fall, unless it has a simultaneously release, wouldn't that mean Japan will have to have in by at least Spring. Oh well, here is for wishful thinking.

you suck

 



 

The only thing that really jumped out at me is

"Unannounced Microsoft first party sequel in the works for Microsoft's next console"

Next console? I would understand that MS would be already looking at possible next gen hardware and options. But, to be already working on a game? So, what no 10 year cycle for MS? only a 4-5 again? Seems stupid.

Lots of good games listed though. I can't wait for GDC and E3 for Wii games to flood in.



If they already started the with the english script for Final Fantasy XIII it is possible that the Americans see this year Final Fantasy XIII.



Wow - abot 75% is not just old, it's very old. Way to justify your existence, EGM.
