34. All Points Bulletin, Webzen - Xbox 360 and PC - 2009

All Points Bulletin should be an absolutely stupendous game. Why? Look at developer Realtime Worlds' credentials. Founded in early 2002 by David Jones, creator of the Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings series', the studio is responsible for the superb Xbox 360-exclusive open-world action-driving game Crackdown. APB is an MMO, which might put off some, but Jones reckons it could reach a level of success thus far only achieved by Blizzard's phenomenon World of Warcraft. We're not sure about that, but, at its simplest, the GTA MMO concept is one that demands our attention. Realtime also promises "the best and most complete customization system ever seen in gaming", Criminals vs. Enforcement PvP gameplay and "persistent turf war", which sounds proper wicked.

33. Gran Turismo 5, Sony Computer Entertainment - PS3 - 2009 (hopefully!)

Whether or not this comes out this year is still debatable, but our fingers are crossed as tightly as possible. If we do get the game this year we're hoping developer Polyphonic Digital finally makes some serious changes so that the great racing series can go head to head with what Microsoft has done with Forza 2 and PGR4 in the online arena, and some improvements to the feel of racing are high on our wishlist too - we love GT, but the racing does feel quite robotic at times. Of course, we also expect GT5 to set a new benchmark in terms of visual quality - something the series has been doing since its debut on the PlayStation.
