32. Dragon Age: Origins, EA - PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 - Early 2009
BioWare's brilliant because it made Mass Effect, one of the best games of 2007. Therefore Dragon Age, BioWare's spiritual successor to the brilliant Baldur's Gate series, is deserving of our focused interest. It's a single-player, party-based fantasy adventure just the way we like them, with loads of stats, levelling up and the killing of many, many beasties. It might not revolutionise the genre, but it's a guaranteed epic that should keep role-playing fanatics happy till BioWare pulls its finger out and announces Mass Effect 2.
31. Chrono Trigger, Square Enix - DS - February 6
Despite the fact that Chrono Trigger is a subtle Nintendo DS remake of a classic SNES game, rather than being a completely new title, it's still one of our most anticipated games of 2009, and that's because it's never been released in Europe before. Widely considered to be the greatest Japanese role-playing game of all time, Chrono Trigger's got an epic story, mind-bending time travel, and, wait for it, NO RANDOM BATTLES. That's right, we said NO RANDOM BATTLES! We doubt we'll see Final Fantasy XIII on these shores in 2009, making Chrono Trigger an even more essential purchase.

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.
