* New & Upcoming Games *

To better inform everyone of new upcoming titles in Games, please refer to these lists:

Nintendo Wii Games: New Releases

PlayStation 3 Games: New Releases

PC Games: New Releases

Nintendo DS Games: New Releases

Sony PSP Games: New Releases

-------------
This is only North American release dates - no UK/PAL games are listed, as they sometimes have quite different release dates.

Enjoy!

yeah, i pitched an idea a while back for public list that anyone can add items to, or even have items added automatically (based on dates). I don't mind if my template gets used as a master list for 'new and upcoming releases' as i'm sure it will keep me busy come xmas season. lol

i picked february specifically as it's a dry time for new releases and allows me to start it up easier.

posted the DS list, as promised.

This is something you'll keep updating as games are released and new ones are announced?

Dang... that's quite the job, Prelude.

I'm hoping once its gets quite popular and then xmas season arrives, I can pass off some of these lists to others - or make these lists 'public access' and such

Any other suggestions? I was toying with idea of putting Gamespot links, demo links, and add developer, rating, and maybe even system requirements to each entry, but THAT would be too much. simply mainting these lists once a week won't be too tough.. only til xmas season hits.

if anyone wants to know where i'm getting these titles from, I use this as reference: www.gamespot.com/newthisweek.html?date=20080217&type=new_this_week&sort=rdate&dlx_type=all&sortdir=asc

All bottom of page, there is a VIEW ALL RELEASES but I concentrate only the major ones, and gamespot is nice enough to list each week's new releases in 'popularity' order, so as long as at least half the page is covered, we should be fine.

Dark Messiah: Elements is on the xbox360 list, yes.

update: added Fifa Street 3 for xbox360, ps3, & ds

also added Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney for DS

update: Added Naruto for DS, Lost Planet for PS3, and one of my most anticipated games, Turning Point, for PC, X360 & PS3

its a first-person shooter, set in alternate history in the US in the '50s. Basically, say US didnt go into WWII and the Nazis conquered all of Europe and most of Asia. And now the entire nazi force is launching a full blown attack with zepplins and bombers on NY and US mainland. very interesting concept.

update: a few more minor additions, and one big one -- Frontlines: Fuel of War on X360 & PC. Funny thing I just found out, the PS3 version was cancelled a couple weeks ago, after so many months of development, because of problems getting UnrealEngine3 to run on PS3 hardware.

PS3 is an overpriced pile of crap, IMHO. If you notice, not a single 'exclusive' title coming up anytime soon, and even major releases are bailing on them. It's just a $500 Blu-Ray player, that's all.

similar story on this side of the pond. they recently pulled the 60gb version off the markets here in canada, and the 80gb will be phased out too.

www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/subclass.asp?logon=&langid=EN&catid=24376
www.amazon.ca/PS3-60GB-Sony-PlayStation-3-60GB/dp/B0009VXAM0

as far as i understand it, the 40gb has ZERO ps2 support, the 80gb only has software emulation of PS2 titles, and only 80% of titles support it, while the 60gb had a separate hardware chip for full ps2 compatibility.

this site, shopbot.ca, shows only 1 place in canada that has the 60gb model, but click on the link and it shows as unavailable. lol

correction about that Frontlines cancellation. Shows that you can't believe everything you read on wikipedia. lol

kotaku.com/347317/ps3-delay-syndrome-hits-frontlines-fuel-of-war

this site claims the cancellation was a misunderstanding as stores pulled it off their sites, but apparently, the developer is claiming 'later in 2008' for the PS3 version. the problems with the unreal3 engine were correct though.

So i'll keep it on the PS3 list, just push it to the end and mark it as TBA 2008.

last update for now... i'll try to update just once a week. I'm up to early march releases, and after that, it gets sketchy and lack of amazon entries complicates things.

anyways, I have one more other uber-game added to Xbox 360 and PS3 sections --- 'Army of Two'

update: added a PSP New Releases list. I can't let such awesome games like Patapon, Chains of Olympus and Crisis Core: FFVII go unannounced.

should a PS2 'new & coming soon' list be published?

ok, added a PS2 section for new releases - not too much out there for it, but a couple of exclusive titles, so i guess its worthwhile. might kill off the list by mid 2008 if PS2 releases die off as well.

Updated.

Added several BIG games coming up later in 2008, such as the new splinter cell, brothers in arms, rainbow six vegas, and even Halo Wars. I figure if I get a jump start on the big hits that typically come out in oct-dec months, I should be able to keep up with this list easily.

update: Added two big upcoming Wii titles -- Mario Kart Wii, and Wii Fit

Very shocked not to see Spore on the PC list.

cool lists. Tom, any way to add them to a more visible area? maybe make them multi-user editable? just select users though.

tartan, no need for any more shock :) Spore is now on the list

In my defence, in wasnt until last week they finally announced a release date. Before, it used to be TBA, with not even 2008 confirmed. But now it looks like September '08 will be what they're shooting for.

there's a couple major titles i'm not adding, as their dates are still listed as TBA on Gamespot:

- Dragon Age from BioWare for the PC
- Alan Wake for PC and X360
- Resistance 2 for PS3
- Red Alert 3 for PC

The following I'll be adding real soon:
- Warhammer Online for PC
- Warhammer: Battle March for X360
- Battlefield: Bad Company (X360 and PS3)
- World Ends with You for DS
- Metal Gear Solid 4 for PS3 (though I won't be surprised if they announce an X360 version as well)
- Tom Clancy's EndWar (PC, X360, PS3)
- Mercenaries 2 (PC, X360, PS2, PS3)

and yes, I'm not living under a rock, I will be adding GTA IV very very soon. been busy last few days, just bought a new house so have to get my old one listed.

update: GTA IV added for Xbox360 and PS3 - finally ;)

also, i'm suprised no one is commenting on this video I added for Fifa Street 3. sweet arse kicks there!

Update - added the following:

- Alone in Dark (multi-platform)
- Mercenaries 2 (multi-platform)
- Warhammer Online (PC)
- Warhammer Battle March (X360)
- Battlefield: Bad Company (X360 & PS3)
- Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)
- World Ends with You (DS)

and a few other minor releases here and there

update: added Duke Nukem Forever to the PC section (rumored to be 2008, but I'll believe it when I see it)

SSBB!!!!!!

minor update: added the new Golden Axe (X360, PS3) and the upcoming Tomb Raider 8 (PC,X360, PS3)

will have a full update (adding 2 extra weeks) tonight, as well as purging items more than 4 weeks old.

ok, did MAJOR updates to all sections. Added about 3 weeks worth of new releases to each platform, removed anything older than a month, and most importantly, added over a dozen videos from youtube to various new releases (mostly wii games).

enjoy :)

thanks for the encouraging words

I'd like to see certain TOP LISTS be made more visible, and hope these become part of 'exploring' the games section at listal. i have a few select sites that I use for reference and getting more streamlined in how I add new entries.

funny, its not the lists that are most time consuming, its that most of these games aren't even in Listal's database, so I have to add them thru amazon, edit their descriptions, and fill in missing covers. so if anyone wants to help out, the best would be to add as many screenshots and youtube video trailers for any new games I add to the list.

to answer your question, these are north american release dates only (as reported by Gamespot.com). some have been out in Japan for a year already, many adventure games seem to come out in Europe first before NA, but in terms of European release dates, best would be to search for the new game using the AMAZON.COM option, and rename the =us with =uk and hit enter, and the approriate European/PAL version of the game should be added, and hopefully with accurate release date (as taken from amazon.co.uk)

yeah, i know what you mean, but many people on here, especially say the horse loving crowds, would use listal only for tagging and listing, not to properly update each entry.

besides, ironically, i added that 'horse and me' entry specifically because i might want to check it out for my daughter. lol

I don't mind. It's neither a job nor a hobby. more like an addiction for organizing. lol

but yeah, for the most part, I stick to most POPULAR releases, as determined by gamespot. A few rare exceptions I've made (horse, diego, dora) mostly for titles my kids might like.

but no, you wont find ALL releases. believe me, the lists look big, but its probably only 40% of ALL titles being released each month. yes, there is that much crap out there.

minor update: Added 'Legendary: The Box' to PC, X360 and PS3

minor update: added two new upcoming Harvest Moon titles for the DS

for Playstation, I think Genji is the best Samurai game I've ever played, it even tops Onimusha!

a ton more updates, mostly minor, mostly for PS2 and DS (LOTS of new DS titles - check it out) but most importantly,.... drum roll..... MASS EFFECT is coming in May to PC! :D

~~ drool ~~

big updates across the lists, mostly for long-range upcoming titles....

- STARCRAFT II for PC!!! my heart missed a few beats when I saw that we might have it in 2008

- Alan Wake for PC & X360 (PS3 version got canceled)

- Fallout 3!!! (PC, PS3, X360) my god, 2008 will be a legendary year for releases

- Fable 2 for X360

- Resident Evil 5 (X360, PS3) - early 2009, but still added it to the lists

- Protoype for X360, PS3, PC

- Too Human for X360

- missed the new Warhammer: Soulstorm (amazon had it misspelled) - released on PC March 4th, but added it anyways

- SoulCalibur IV for PS3 and X360

if there's any other MAJOR games coming out in late 2008 or even early 2009, let me know. As long as it has an amazon entry, I'll add it to this list

Your Mario Kart Wii entry needs updating. It's out on the 27th April in the USA; uk.wii.ign.com/articles/858/858860p1.html
