heavenly swords...best game of the year?...please... Mass Effect Bioshock Mario Galaxy Metroid Prime 3 Halo 3 Those are the contenders for best game of the year.

 LoL.

 Missing something called God of War 2 ?  

then theres GTA4, Uncharted and LBP.

I would bet money that neither one of those two win any GotY awards. Not because they are gonna suck, but because they have probably run outta things to do by now. I assume they will have a few nice things coming in that respect though. When you think GotY material you need to think about what the title is doing new in comparison to the last version of it. There are other factors of course, but that's what usually seals the deal. Bioshock, Mario Galaxy, Mass Effect, Disaster Day of Crisis, and Lair would be my best bets. If PC games are eligable in this one too than add HL2 Ep 2 because Valve is famous for being some of the very best. There are some things that could improve their chances though. (IE, a really nice fuel truck explosion). The games that are sticking to the basics of what made them great in the first place are the ones that I would kinda be more doubtful on. Which is the case for some Nintendo games as well as 360 and PS3 games. IE, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Metroid Prime 3. That's what I believe anyways.

mass effect----a generic game not on a powerful high end pc, but on x360.

bioshock also on pc and would ofcourse be on ps3 next year. With extremely slow paced and boring gameplay this doesnt come 0% close to HS.

Metroid Prime ...dont know about it but would sell more than Halo3.

Halo3............even IGN has said that the x360 owners would be heavily disappointed with visuals. Did you even look at the graphics. See it on ign/gs before making comment.

Knock Knock !!!! wake up!!!!

there is photorealism with Crysis and KILLZONE 2 (uses at least 50% of ps3's power). This is not last gen where Halo set graphical bar. Compared to Crysis/ KZ ,  halo 3 looks extremely backdated.

Days of cartoonistic Halo 3 is over. Photorealism rules with KZ2 and Crysis.

FF13 if released in 2008( ps3 exclusive ofcourse) and MGS 4 could give HS some strong competition. Lair is  a strong contender for no1 game award too.

This is new gen!!! think graphics!!!think power!!!think gameplay

in march 130k ps3s were sold vs 125k ps3s in february.

The software sales increased significantly due to MO/OB though.so yes MO/OB did increase sales but in terms of softwares.

However Lair and motorstorm/oblivion are not same.

Motorstorm(only possible on ps3) uses 15% of ps3's power.

Lair would use at least 40% . plus Lair is more hyped than Mo and has wayy better graphics including the best water and lighting.

 In  the words of Ricky Gervais; "Are you havin' a laugh?" (from extras)

GTA IV will be the best game of the year and second place will go to MGS 4 or FF XIII if they are released.

If neither of those come out, it will be Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Undoubtedly LAIR would give ps3 a massive boost with 1.5m---3m copies in sales.

NGS at 1080p at 60fps would see ps3 hardware sales spike to 40k per week for some weeks.

as for HEAVENLY SWORD it might turn out to be the best game of the year.

Theres just no doubt in anyone's mind that starting JUNE ,2007  ps3 would dominate all markets.

dont forget a minimum of 200k sales for minna golf due JUNE in JAPAN.

at present minna is at no 8 on famitsu list.


Ow... Nintendo is gonna stop making Wii's hea?!... Or do you REALLY BELIEVE in that shit like PS3 will dominate from June... I heard some guys say that in Januari PS3 would dominate... Didn't happen. Then they said... March will be the month where PS3 will dominate... Yeah right... And then April... Hmmm :-S Not that i noticed... So now the Sony fanboys are saying June... Lol...!

 

Im gonna laugh at you SO HARD when this isn't gonna happen (So that means i'm gonna laught at you in June... Cause it ain't...)           This is just so funny!

"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

 No, as fanboyish as StarcraftManiac is (StarcraftManiac, you need to work on your fanboyism, seriously, it gets annoying sometimes), there were many PS3 fans saying that January, or especially March would be the month PS3 turns around and starts dominating.  Games like Motorstorm would supposedly raise PS3 to Wii sales, etc, etc.  It got ridiculous.

 Starting July, sales might get boosted a bit, but if Motorstorm is any indication, it won't be by much.  People who want a PS3 either have one now, or are waiting for MGS4 and FFXIII, not Lair. 



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

URNotE... You haven't been around for that long... Guys like HUS (Has been banned)... Have been saying that when Gundam Mosou would come out PS3 would crush the competition in Japan... Also...  Heavenly sword was sceduled for Januari at first... And when March domination for PS3 didn't come they said... Shortage at Europe release... April will be the month where it will happen... So fact is:

 

I'm NOT lying...

-And benkenobi88... I know i can be a stupid fanboy at sometimes... But the things im tellin the guy now are just plain facts... So thanks for the backup
