sqrl, I agree that this period is gaming is going to be looked back on as a golden era. The beginning of the HD period and the beginning of motion sensing are two *huge* achievements. I think the titles we play today will be remembered by a large number of people up there with Mario and Duck Hunt on the NES. Iconic, amazing, insanely replayable, and if nothing else, remembered for being here now, and not later.
Personally, the games I am getting this year (unless my income forecast raises sharply, which it might depending on an interview next week) are:
1) Guitar Hero 3 (Wii) [although iff Rock Band for Wii is announced to be in early '08 i might change that. I don't think it will though]
2) Mario Galaxy
3) Geometry Wars
----
Maybes:
4)SSB:B (a friend is getting it, so its not imperative)
5)MP:3 (same friend, we split up the Nintendo franchises so we can play them all without huge investments)
Also, if any of my housemates return for school with a PS3 or 360, I will probably go in on a rock band bundle with them. Our house is/was really into guitar hero, and so i can see Rock Band being huge with us, assuming any of us has a PS3/360, which isn't that likely as we are poor college students.
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
