38. Batman: Arkham Asylum, Eidos - Xbox 360, PS3 - Summer 2009
We're hyped for Batman at the moment. After The Dark Knight we want as much of the caped crusader as we can get, and Edios' Arkham Asylum appears to be the game carrying the torch in 2009. Developer Rocksteady is responsible for the almost great Urban Chaos: Riot Response from 2006, and from what we've seen of the game so far it looks superb. Our main concern is how the developer handles Epic's Unreal Engine 3. Until now the engine hasn't really shined much outside of Epic's own Gears of War and Unreal Tournament franchises.
37. Mad World, SEGA - Wii - Q1 2009
We are desperate for SEGA's blood-soaked action game to be good, but we're just not sure. There's no doubt that on its release it'll rank as one of the best looking games on the Wii, and it's got hardcore appeal seeping out of every deep wound, but there's a slight concern that it'll be all style and no real substance. We want to be proven wrong, and we smile every time we watch the latest trailer, but we just aren't sure. With some solid fighting mechanics this could end up being one of the best Wii games of 2009, so fingers crossed - so hard they could well snap off and spray blood all over our office.

I know Dragon Age is down for TBA 2009 but I'm not getting my hopes up of seeing a console version before 2010 even though "get 'em out the door fast" EA are publishing. And even then, I'm not sure it's for me, 'tis very Baldur's Gatery (as in ye olde PC version) so I'm sure fans of that type of RPG will go nuts for it. I'm not one of them so far.
As for Batman, historically the only decent Batman game, ever, involved Lego, so it would take a major piece of miracle marketing to make me raise a slightly interested eyebrow in this title's direction.
Prototype started out its hype with some great looking CGI, but now the gameplay footage is appearing I'm getting put off, just doesn't 'feel' right, and as for All Points Bulletin I've got a 3 and a half year-old E3 trailer to judge it on, a handful of year-old screenshots for the PC and zero expectation of a 2009 launch on the 360 from a Korean publisher. Do we even know what pricing model they're going to go for? (P2P, microtransactions, standalone etc). So the former has dropped off my hype radar for now and APB has yet to do enough to get on it in the first place.
Which leaves Alpha Protocol. The only justification for hyping this is that Obsidian are developing. It could be awesome. Then again, they haven't shown much and if you do catch any gameplay footage it's in 'blipvert' format, blink and you'll miss it. Looking forward to finding out more about this one, but it's down for 'early 2009' release, I'd have expected to have seen a lot more by now.
P.S. Thank you for this article, I'm struggling for gaming inspiration so looking forward to finding out what the other 30 titles are.Last edited on Tue 6 January 2009 by FantasyMeister

Please enjoy this recent quote from Kazunori Yamauchi, to the publication: "To be honest, I haven't given a lot of thought to GT 5, so I don't have an answer. And it's too early to talk about GT 5 because we still have updates coming out for Prologue.
Is there an ETA on GT 5?
It won't be this year and nothing's scheduled for next. It may be out in 2010, but like I said, we haven't really discussed it yet."
Prototype: I think they're in danger of being overlooked, unfortunately, especially the case if Infamous makes sufficient impact on PS3. Prototype is also just too quiet for its own good.
