Alright, so we are in the final stretch of '08, aka the Holiday season meaning a ton of games are coming out.  So what am I excited for?  Read below.

 Number 10:

Moon (DS)

Moon is a DS game that I kept hearing some hype about but never really cared about.  It's an unknown game with an unknown publisher, Mastiff.  Being devoloped by Renegade Kid, none of their work comes to mind.  When I was reading Matt Cassamassina's blog, as I always do, I saw him remarking about how Moon is a lot like Metroid on the DS done right.  When I heard that from him, I knew that this must be a good game.  I am excited for it, obviously, as it made the list.  It is coming out November 18, 2008.  It is an FPS in which you navigate the Moon fighting aliens.  It sounds cliche, but on the DS it sounds great.  I am really anticipating this game and am excited to play it this holiday season. 

 Number 9:

Samba de Amigo Wii (Wii)

As you know, I am excited about this game.  I really like Sega's classic characters, and while lately we have seen poor renditions of Sonic and NiGHTS, I have faith in our little monkey friend Amigo.  I like the maraccas and hope that this game is good, it is hard for even Sega to ruin a rhythm game.  Comes out September 23, 2008.

Yes, Left 4 Dead has been delayed, but not so long, only until later in November.  Left 4 Dead is a multiplayer online game made by Valve.  The game uses the famous Source engine in which you fight through hordes of zombies.  Yes it sounds like Resident Evil, heres the cool part though.  You can team up with your friends in around the world co-op to fight the zombies together.  Which is why Left 4 Dead is on my top 10 list of anticipated games for 2008.  Which actually I think I'll make a post about.

Fallout 3 was given a date an Leipzig to be a release of October 28, 2008.  I think I might pick it up.  It's supposed to have 100 hours of gameplay in it alone and is a very interesting style of RPG and FPS mixed together which makes me curious about the game.  I also like the idea of a post-apoclyptic Earth. It is coming out for 360, PS3 and PC.

We've always ben fans of the Team Fortress 2 trailers, and the new "Meet The Sandwich" video is no exception, giving us plenty of "lawlz" as the kids these days say. Watch, enjoy, and maybe even make yourself a sandwich.

Blizzard is famous for it's "when it's ready" line and it seems that they have labeled the much anticipated Wrath of The Lich King cinematic as ready. Many outlets are reporting that Blizzard's cinematic will be shown at the Leipzig Games Convention on August 21 at 1:00 pm. Thats, three days folks! Although this blogger has stopped playing World of Warcraft (for now), I am always awed by the detail and all around awesomeocity of Blizzard's cinematics. Let's just hope this cinematic is not enough for this blogger to pick up the game again, because this blogger still wants to keep his life outside of Azeroth alive.

Mmmmmm world exclusive trailer. Although world exclusives are always tasty, the graphics on this one remind us a bit too much of Grand Theft Auto. But that didn't stop it's predecessor from selling well last time. We expect this one will do just as well, if not better. The God Father II is only for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, there's no The God Father: The Black Hand love for Wii as of yet. Do we have any God Father fans excited for the game out there? Now if you'll excuse us, we'll get back to listening to Jonathan Coulton songs as we get ready to move our "offices."
