2008 was a good year for games, but it was even better for the obscure game.
I have always liked these titles, not because nobody has played them. But they always have their unique charm that most popluar games do not have.
But after looking at some release lists for this upcoming year and the beggining of the next, these next few months will be very exciting for gamers all around the world. Some of the titles that I am most looking forward to would be (if it does come out this year) Beyond Good and Evil 2. Rumors going around the internet is stating that this title has been in development since 2004/2005 and is almost at completion.
Also the official sequel to another great game The Chronicals Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, named Escape From Dark Athena looks like one great title and looks more polished than some other next gen titles, also this game is one of the rare examples of a film tie in that actually is a great game and not a pile of crap produced very quickly to coinside with the release of the film.
Finally there is the all important release of the fourth Earthworm Jim game. Now the game has only been announced this year, but after the other great entries in the series, this will be a title to keep an eye on.
There are other titles that are coming out that must be watched, as since there are no major titles being released after Resident Evil 5 this year (I Think) a return to these games will be a great change.
Just goes to show that fan demand does work, just need Shenmue 3 and another Paracite Eve title and this year will be great.
