Most Anticipated Games Of 2008?



We're already two months into 2008 and quality PC games have been a bit thin on the ground.

But don't despair, as there are some big games that are due to hit the stores later this year. Most of these are featured in an article at 1Up, where they've compiled a list of their most wanted games for the PC.

I can't really pick fault in their choices, but my own top 5 for the year are as follows:

1. Left 4 Dead - I just love zombie films and games, and this looks to capture the true spirit of the survival-horror genre while being great fun to play. With superfast zombie hordes and 'special' player-controlled boss zombies, this is going to be a tough battle for the human survivors.

2. Fallout 3 - a sequel to these classic games is long overdue. It's in safe hands at Bethesda, and the switch to 3D should really bring the gameworld to life.

3. Rage - something of a departure from id's usual games, I like the sound of this driving/FPS exploration type-game. At the very least it should have a bit more depth than Doom 3!

4. Borderlands - in concept this sounds very similar to Rage, but the game features a content generation system that allows for countless variations of missions, environments, enemies, weapons, item drops and character customization.

5. Dragon Age - a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, one of the biggest and best RPGs of all time and still one of my favourite games. Come on Bioware, make us proud to have a PC again!
