* New & Upcoming Games *

thanks Phil

update. Added a few minor titles, and few major ones.

The major ones are Age of Conan (PC), Haze (PS3), Midnight Club Los Angeles (X360,PS3), Civilization Revolution (multiple), and Wii Fit has a new earlier release date, and near same time We Ski for Wii is launching.

Enjoy.

Another update, mostly long-range upcoming titles (or rumored releases):

Borderlands (PC, PS3, X360)
Left 4 Dead (PC, X360)
Lego Indiana Jones (multi-platform)
Boom Blox (Wii)
de Blob (Wii)
Wii Music Orchestra (Wii)
Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers (Wii)
Star Wars: Force Unleashed (added just Wii, but adding all other versions shortly)
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
Brutal Legend (X360, PS3)
Resistance 2 (PS3)
Saboteur (X360, PS3)
SOCOM: Confrontation (PS3)
KillZone 2 (PS3)
Dead Space (X360, PS3)
Infamous (PS3)
Dragon Quest IX (DS)

That should be all the BIG titles, even all the major ones coming out for next christmas, so now the lists will be easier to maintain, only updating dates and smaller releases.

If there's any other major releases coming up in 2008, let me know and I'll add them. cheers

minor update. added Portal & Team Fortress 2 to PC section (they are getting stan-alone retail releases on Apr 8th), and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has slipped to Apr 15th release, PC version only. Xbox360 & PS3 will still be out in March. doh!!

Metal Gear Solid 4 has been dated for release on June 12th
And MGS4 will never come on the Xbox 360 because Kojima-san has said that he needed more room on Blu-ray because 50GB's is not enough.

thanks, added final MGS4 date. and yes, it will be PS3 exclusive 100%.

Added a big item for DS; Guitar Hero: On Tour lands on the portable this summer:
www.listal.com/game/guitar-hero-on-tour-nintendo-ds

*updated X360 list, rest will be updated later today*

changes:

new games: Bourne Conspiracy (X360 & PS3), Top Spin 3 (multi platform), UEFA Euro 2008 (multi platform), Spectral Force 3 (X360), Hail to Chimp (X360 & PS3), GRID (X360 & PS3), and NASCAR 09 (multi platform)

other big changes:

- Unreal Tourney III for X360 has been delayed, YET AGAIN (about 3rd time since i started this list). Its now set for June 30th.

- new Alone in the Dark as earlier release date, June 3rd (but PS3 version is status unknown, TBA - might be canceled)

- Supreme Commander for X360 delayed to May 19th

- Midgnight Club: LA for X360 & PS3 is coming sooner, on May 28th (old release was August)

- Battlefield: Bad Company now has a proper release date

Also removed releases more than a month old.

In order to keep these lists shorter and more relevant (only show UPCOMING releases and stuff JUST released, I'm making a 2nd list for all the console.

Only have PS3 ready so far:

New & Upcoming PS3 Releases
www.listal.com/list/new-ps3-releases-coming

Gamespot Best PS3 Games of 2008
www.listal.com/list/gamespot-best-ps3-games-2008


Basically, once a title is released, before I delete it from the list, i check gamespot (same one I use for the new releases lists) and if it gets reviewed at 8.0 or higher, I add it to the 2nd list, Best of 2008.

That way, I can re-use the code (such as the trailer links I'm adding) and copy/paste them quickly into the new list, and keep the 'New Release' lists a lot more up-to-date.

god rid of the PS2 list, the PSP may follow as none of the rest of the 2008 releases look promising.

Less lists = more time to give to the big lists like X360 and PS3, and add trailers to them as well.

Ok, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC lists are up to date, with plenty of trailers in the lists. Also they each have 'Best of 2008' series. Basically once a game is released, if its well received by the critics, I move it to the 'Best of 2008' lists.

On PC side, Mass Effect got delayed a month (doh!!), Warhammer Online got pushed from June to 'Q4', and added a few smaller titles. GRID is coming out on PC in June, but I can't find an amazon entry for it (found only Xbox 360 and PS3). I dont want to make a new custom one just yet.

Wow you are doing awesome work man, Prelude you're incredible. I don't have time to do all sorts of stuff like this but it is greatly appreciated! I'm happy all these users can get to know more about games, since they're a big passion of me. Keep it up.

thanks for the encouraging words, moz. i'd like certain key lists, like upcoming movies, games, imdb250, etc, to eventually have multiple owners to make the lists easier to manage (these lists will kill me come holiday 2008 season) and make them more prominent rather than being buried in Groups.

Big update done on PC Games list (lots of trailers added) and a lot of major games added to all applicable lists:

- Tom Clancy's EndWar (amazon had it misspelled as End War, causing me to miss it for a while)

- Far Cry 2 (man, i dont know how i missed this one. its one my MOST WANTED list for 2008)

- Star Wars: Force Unleashed

- C&C Red Alert 3

- Tiberium (from makers of C&C, this is a sci-fi FPS rather than a typical RTS)

never played Renegade, though I feel an urge to check it out for kicks. I love crap-fest shooters :)

Tiberium looks promising though. Almost reminds me of that Procom (spell?) War canned demo found in 3DMark03

DS list updated. quite a few changes:

new: Gauntlet (!!!!!), arkanoid DS, super dodgeball brawlers, jake hunter, etryian odyssey II, summon night twin age

and a bunch of different dates for others

sorry about lack of far-reaching titles (past June 08). Amazon.com doesnt create too many future upcoming DS entries, as they do for PS3 and X360.

Prelude, there would be a nice suggestion for upcoming games.
What about including something that is still active? Like Nintendo 64?

since when is N64 active? I don't understand.

It's still active, it isn't active just now.
Never mind...
Nice list btw.

((Pre check the Cool Custom Lists I finally finished my New Releases in North America List)_

a minor update this time:

Wii: Deca Sports, Rock Band
PC: WoW: Lich King
PSP: Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2

minor update, but big game, so I thought I'd mention it:

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars comes to X360 and PS3 at end of May

in honor of the mega game that's being released (do i even need to say which one?) I updated the Xbox 360 and PS3 lists. Quite a few new entries, many updates to dates.

PC, Wii, DS and PSP lists will be updated tonight/tomorrow.

Wii list is updated. Spent a lot of time on this update, added over a dozen new entries (most Wii exclusives)

Enjoy :)

www.listal.com/list/new-wii-releases-coming

Bloody hell, that list is epic. Props and all that.

thanks. it was a bit to setup all these lists, but maintaining them is much easier than I thought. still, would be nice if Tom could allow some lists to have multiple editors, to help maintain these lists as well as say the IMDB Top250 list.

What say you, Tom? is it an easy addition?

DS fans, you're in for a whopper of a treat in this update:

www.listal.com/list/new-ds-releases-coming

Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Final Fantasy IV, Izuma 2, the new Trauma Center, a new Bleach game, and *drum roll* Sonic Chronicles, an RPG developed by Bioware.

Man oh man, the DS's line-up for 2008 is putting the PSP to shame.

www.listal.com/list/new-pc-releases-coming

PC list now updated. Not many changes, just cleaned it up and changed dates. Amazon doesn't seem to track far-reaching PC exclusive titles (and there's a few awesome titles coming up in summer/fall, but without an Amazon entry, I'd rather not list it just yet)

minor updates across all platforms.

- added Ghostbusters, a multi-platform title coming in Q4 2008
- added Madden NFL 09, coming in August on multi-platforms
- added a few strategy/rts titles to the PC list

and the big update worth shouting about?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky coming to PC in 2008!

oh, and though its for 2009, I added Sims 3 to the PC List.

Xbox 360 list updated:

* bad news: Prototype (for all platforms) has dropped to a 2009 release - no chance of seeing this anytime in '08

* new additions: a bunch of new releases added to the list (Baja, TNA Impact, Guilty Gear 2, Smash Court Tennis 3, Tales of Vesperia, Zoids Assault, new version of Lost Planet, and Deadliest Catch) and fixed dates for all releases, accurate up to end of August '08 (after that, in Q3 and Q4, dates can vary greatly so I dont bother updating those)

* good news! Too Human has been pushed ahead, to a mid-august release :)

Other platform updates coming today or tomorrow.

*edit: last minute update - one more new game added - Pure, for X360, PS3 and PC

did another re-update of the X360 list, mostly coz of addition of major new things:

- the new Silent Hill 5, officially called 'Homecoming', has been confirmed to a September 2008 release, but only in Europe

- added Just Cause 2

- added Project Origin, the true sequel to F.E.A.R.

- two more minor adds: the new Viva Pinata, and a new Destroy All Humans

There's also a half dozen other titles i'm watching, set for Q3 or Q4 release, but they dont have an amazon.com entry yet.

and p.s. added the official new Fable II poster :)

New PS3 games is now updated.

* bad news: as with X360, Prototype for PS3 has also been pushed to 2009 release date. Killzone 2, a PS3-exclusive title, has been pushed to Feb 2009 as well.

* good news: the new SOCOM game, the first for the PS3 platform, has been pushed ahead to a mid-September release. Also, Resistance 2 has been confirmed to a November 2008 date (previously, it was just listed as TBA); Silent Hill 5 (aka Homecoming) has also been pushed ahead, to a september release, but only confirmed for European market so far)

* new games on this list: Fatal Intertia EX, Overlord: Raising Hell, Baja, a new Destroy All Humans, TNA Impact, Just Cause 2, Pure, Project Origin, and Valkyira Chronicles.

Just as with the X360 list, I'm keeping a few games bookmarked that should make this list soon, but no Amazon.com entry exists for them yet - namely a new Siren and a new Disgaea game.

I've also updated the Nintendo Wii new releases list.

A few date changes, a bunch of minor games. Only one of importance I guess is the new Harvest Moon Wii game.

And one more for today: New PC Releases.

* new games: Immortals of Terra, Deadliest Catch, City Life 2008, Burnout Paradise, Nancy Drew and Phantom of Venice, King's Bounty, Space Siege, Vampyre Story, Project Origin, and Pure

Won't get to DS updates for a few days, and will probably stop updating PSP release list as its quite dead (both in terms of releases, as well as people viewing that list)

One addition to New PC Releases

but its a major one:
www.listal.com/game/operation-flashpoint-2-pc

A long-overdue update, for the Xbox 360 only.

Rest of systems coming shortly.

Next update will be septemberish, once all the christmas releases get more specific dates (too many Q3 and Q4 release dates right now).

Major one added are Rock Band 2 and Infinite Undiscovery.

Another update to the X360 list:
www.listal.com/list/new-x360-releases-coming

.. this time addressing all the upcoming TBA releases. I know, i know, i need to tackle the PS3 and PC lists too, its coming this week. (Tom, would be nice to have multiple editors for these lists.. lol)

Anyways, many big releases added as TBA:
- Call of Duty: World at War
- new Prince of Persia
- new Red Faction
- Faith and a .45
- Cipher Complex
- Bayonetta
- Dark Void
- Velvet Assassin
- Mirror's Edge
- Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

Let me know if i'm missing any 'officially announced' titles.

Major update to the PS3 list:
www.listal.com/list/new-ps3-releases-coming

Tons of new releases, updated release dates, and bunch of trailers added.

p.s. almost 2,200 views and only 4 votes?? seriously?? wtf people.... i know there are many repeat viewings since its a dynamic list, but i doubt the same 4 people viewed this list 500+ times each. almost makes it not worth the effort - adding new entries, hunting down concept art covers, teaser trailers, ever-changing release dates... *sigh*

Updated half of the PC list:
www.listal.com/list/new-pc-releases-coming

will finish it up later tonight probably, but had to make a quick note: I HAD NO IDEA A CRYSIS EXPANSION WAS OUT SO SOON! damn thats sweet. Sep. 16th is its release date:

www.listal.com/game/crysis-warhead-pc

Finished Updating the PC List:
www.listal.com/list/new-pc-releases-coming

Really impressed with whats coming up for PC. I was worried that developers would abandon it in favor for X360 / PS3 only games, but many of the biggest titles have added PC versions to the huge lineup for xmas '08 shopping season.
Saints Row 2, previously a console only game, now has a PC version almost ready to ship, and Dead Space also added a PC version at last minute to their line-up.

Then throw in massive PC-exclusive and PC-first releases such as Starcraft II, Sims 3, Red Alert 3, Diablo 3, WoW Expansion, Sacred 2, Space Siege, another Sims 2 expansion, Civ IV: Colonization, Mount & Blade, Crysis Warhead, STALKER: Clear Sky, and of course, Spore.. and if you dont own a next-gen console yet, you can probably hold off the temptation by keeping your PC up-to-date.

Also, GTA IV for PC has a set release date! Nov. 18th! :)
