I agree with the OP. I would like to add that I think there will be a new Twisted Metal announcement and a new FF vs XIII trailer, also ME2 will critically flop when compared to ME1, and Heavy Rain will start at low sales but have long legs.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
