| Mr Khan said: Zelda, if it makes it. I think Mass Effect 2 will be hurt by being too early in the year. Might not be fair, but a lot of people will have forgotten about it, at least partially, by the call-in time.
Gran Turismo 5 will have a shot, being further in the year. Last Guardian if it makes it also.
Don't know how to feel about Halo Reach, but i would bet against StarCraft. They're going to do something to mess it up, to be less iconic than the original. |
Blizzard mess something up? Nah. It'll be amazing. Though having it split may cause some to view it as only a partial game. The gameplay pretty much stands as well as it did 11 years ago and if those battle reports are anything to go by, the balance that made the game so wildly fun to play is still present.
However, I would agree with you in that I think it'll be less iconic in the long run. I don't think it'll have the same longevity that the first had, but I do believe it'll have an absolutely huge initial (and relatively long) impact.
Regardless, this year will undoubtedly have some heavy contenders coming from multiple platforms and genres. Halo Reach, Starcraft 2, Zelda Wii, Mario Galaxy 2, God of War 3 and The Last Gaurdian, though I'm sure I'm missing some, all seem to be potential award winners in the West.
