What's Great in '08 - Xbox Games
mvmarcz says:
I, for one, am so excited about the new Tomb Raider, Legend really re-awoke the franchise and Anniversary just reaffirmed that it is still a great type of gameplay. My husband is a huge gamer and I'll admit he got me into games but Tomb Raider was one of my favs long before I met him.
Lego Indiana Jones is a title that should really bring the fun as well. With the accessible gameplay and fun style the Lego franchise has really hit it out of the park with the Star Wars games and Indiana Jones looks as if it shall not disappoint.
I've been waiting for Fable 2 since I finished Fable 1! I especially like the fact that you can choose your characters gender this time, something promised with the first but sadly not delivered.
Gaming just keeps getting better and better. This is gonna be a good year for games :)
