I think MW2, but Halo Reach will be the best launch next year.

I really really wish this to be true. Halo is just too good, and isn't the game going to support Natal? Man, probably the game of the generation!

I think Final Fantasy XIII's launch is going to be pretty huge as well.

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Wii Sports, MK Wii or Wii Fit

Have been the three most impressive launches ever. It's not impressive for a high budget FPS to sell well on consoles that have already established themselves.

Wii Sports singlehandedly destroyed the playstation dynasty, and established a new world order.
MK:Wii thrashed GTA4, a game that was expected to destroy the Wii
Wii Fit was one of the most ridiculed games befores its release. Now how's laughing... A hint, Nintendo is luaghing

wow, nintendo fan boy much?

NONE of those were impressive launches ... there was some hype for mario kart, but definately NO hype for wii fit ...

' Destroyed the playstation dynasty ' LOLOLOL!!, im not a sony fan, but this is hilerious! pretty sure wii sports wasnt the ' killer ' of the ps3, but the price of the ps3 at launch was ....

thanks for the laugh

You must have misinterpreted what I said, probably my fault sorry, I'm too tired to write properly today.

The fact that there was no hype for Wii fit is exactly why it's launch was impressive. And there was much more hype for Wii Fit than MK btw, MK released the same week as GTA4 and there was no room for MK hype amongst the 'Wii is dooooooomed' attitude

And yes, Sony may have lowered the drawbridge by releasing the PS3 at a high price, but Wii Sports went inside the castle and killed everyone inside.

For me, San Andreas.

I didn't like it as much as Vice City, but I got up at 6am to get it and got a free bandana for my troubles!

It would have to be Halo 3. The only thing you can say about the advertisement campaign was that it was EPIC! We will probably never see another event like it.

Melee and Brawl. Most games don't live up to the hype, these did.
