Wow, this is awful. It's worse than Wii fans' lists this time last year.

Let's hope MS has a big e3...

Is this a joke???? I think it's looking like the best lineup it's had ever.

1. HALO : ODST = Exclusive and AAA You haven't seen any gameplay, and it is not a full game

All Previous Halo's are AAA. So absolutely 100% confident in this. Most likely, but IT IS NOT A FULL GAME

2. ALAN WAKE = Exclusive and AAA You haven't seen any gameplay

Remedy are amazing devs, and although no actual strict gameplay has been shown, Intel Conference game footage blew away anything we currently have out. So AAA is pretty much in stone. If people can call KZ2 AAA 1 year before it's released with a worse dev history than Remedy then my statement is massive win. Actually, no Remedy Game has got 90% on metacritic, so we will have to wait and see on this one. The reason that Killzone 2 was called AAA so early, is because people are idiots, but we actually saw some gameplay footage abut 8 months

3. FORZA 3 = Exclusive and AAAHasn't even been announced, though given the series history will most likely be AAA

Well said

4. SPLINTER CELL : CONVICTION = Exclusive and SC is almost always AAA The last Splinter Cell was not that well reviewed

1 game out of 5. Conviction development is 4 years + from the same team that did all Splinter Cells. It has 80%+ chance of being AAA. Rumours are that it has had a troubled development, and there are other rumours it won't be exclusive, but I don't really care anyway because I hate stealth games

5. NINETY NINE NIGHTS 2 Exclusive and chance to be good Low chance

I didnt say AAA here, I said good. Feel Plus are developing this one. Makers of Lost Odyssey. Feel Plus make good titles. They were only responsable for the coding of Lost Odyssey, Mistwalker did the story and design, so we will have to wait and see more, but it won't be AAA

6. RISEN = exclusive and possible AAA Highly doubtful, there is a reason it is unknown

Said possible AAA. It defiantely looks good. And the Developer history is good with the acclaimed Gothic series Gothic 3 has an average review of 63

7. MAGNA CARTA 2 = Exclusive and looks pretty good It looked awful, I nearly fell asleep in the trailer

Your opinion. But this game has been recieved rather well. Great art direction

8. ASSASINS CREED 2 = non exclusive and AAA Probably not AAA, it will probably only be high 80's

I agree actually. It may not get to the 90's metacritic. But if it irons out the first games flaws it's guaranteed. AC1 did far more right than wrong. I would have given it much higher than most reviewers, but it still won't be AAA

Face it, the Xbox's line up isn't that great this year, much worse than last year

LOL at you trying to make 360 look bad. Major LOL. Read the Blue. I think it's pathectic to try and punch these games in the face. It's laughable. The same as people try and do it to LP 2's visuals which clearly beat current console games. For some reason we seem to be out of touch with the rest of the web. LP 2 is regarded as amazing. Here to many PS3 fanboys saying meh.

To be honest, none of these games excite me apart from Assassin's Creed, so that may be why I am so willing to get at them. But frankly, most of what I said is fact, and I am not going to label a game AAA until I actually see some gameplay footage of it, or if I adored the previous game (Ratchet and Clank a Crank in Time is an example of that). There is no point in assessing the line-ups before E3. Sony and M$ will definitely add to their respective lists {Lionhead and Rare games}, but more importantly, Sony will tell us how many of their announced games will make it this year, because frankly, if God of War III and Gran Turismo 5 are released this year, in addition to Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2 and Ratchet, Sony are going to win christmas (with a price cut), but that is all just speculation now

Personally and sales wise I dont think that Uncharted 2, GT5, God War 3 Heavy Rain and Ratchet is a better lineup than Alan Wake, SC, Halo ODST, Forza 3 and Ninety nine nights 2. People call Halo ODST not a full game. It's not but it's a completely new single player game with talk of 10 levels (same as Halo 3) so It's gonna feel like one. N32 from first screens looks graphically better than Gow 3's screens ( have no N32 video to caompare videos ). Heavy Rain I'm really looking forward to. GT5 after GT5P I'm happier to own Forza 3.

But sales wise PS3 will not outsell the 360 even with a price cut this christmas. And the big games on 360 will collectively sell more than PS3's big lineup collectively this year to.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But I'm 90% sure on this.
