GamePro's Most Anticipated Games of E3 2008 (2/3)

Resistance 2 (PS3)

Why we want it: Insane amounts of enemies and a 300-foot ginormous boss.
Why it could suck: The first game wasn't all that, compared to other, more memorable shooters.

BioShock 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

Why we want it: Because the first game was awesomely original.
Why it could suck: Neither Ken Levine or 2K Boston are directly involved.

Diablo 3 (PC, Mac)

Why we want it: It's Diablo. What Blizzard touches turns to gold. "Color is your friend." The isometric perspective never gets old.
Why it could suck: Diablo is for nerds.

Call of Duty: World at War (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

Why we want it: Because Call of Duty 4 was the best first-person shooter released last year.
Why it could suck: Infinity Ward isn't making it.

Killzone 2 (PS3)

Why we want it: Despite a disreputable amount of bullshots, this remains one of the best-looking games this generation. Helghast are cool.
Why it could suck: It'll be overhyped, kind of like the first game.

Ultimate Band (Wii)

Why we want it: Rock Band without all the pricey peripherals; a new way to play rhythm games.
Why it could suck: It's made by Disney, which isn't known for video game development, and the tween friendly company could load the track list with a lot of Hannah Montana songs (which are neither "ultimate" or "band.")

Fable II (Xbox 360)

Why we want it: It's gorgeous, genuine, massive, and promises lots of consequential RPG elements.
Why it could suck: Designer Peter Molyneux is kind of overrated.

Final Fantasy XIII (Tentative for PS3)

Why we want it: It's Final Fantasy.
Why it could suck: Not everyone is as fanatical for Final Fantasy as others. Talk less, more gameplay.

God of War 3 (PS3)

Why we want it: Because God of War 2 was the best hack-and-slash game of all time, no question. It's camera work is awesome, and the action is non-stop.
Why it could suck: Founding designer David Jaffe became an indie developer after releasing God of War 2 and is no longer working on the series.

The Conduit, Gears 2, and Fallout 3 all look awesome. But the only game that matters is (you guessed it) RE5.

Aegis

And I can't wait for Resident Evil 5. I'm Black and I will be buying this game day one, the so called racial controversy is really stupid. The only reason it even came up is because a few writers had nothing better to do.

Awesome, looks like a great year for the Xbox360. Actually, it lookes like a pretty good year for the Wii too.

CyberNet_Crisis

"Diablo Is For Nerds." If I were you, I would sacrifice popularity to play Diablo games.
