MotorStorm 2
MotorStorm 2 will be the sequel to the hit-title MotorStorm. MotorStorm was developed by Evolution Studios and then published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Sony finally came forward and announced the title after they went ahead and acquired Evolution Studios themselves. With the acquisition of MotorStorm’s developing studio, it’s going to be set in stone that you’ll never see this game outside of the Sony brand, which is all good from our perspective.
Not much info has been released on MotorStorm 2 as of yet, but we can tell you what has been. So far what we know is that the GUI for MS2 has been completely reinvented. On top of that, they’ve upgraded the Havok 4 engine to more than likely enhance the visuals of the gameplay itself, which can only be good in the end.
Even with the minute amount of details we have about MotorStorm 2, it almost feels beyond safe to say that the game is going to be phenomenal. With what they already have to work with and to build from, you can’t expect anything less than an incredible gaming experience. With the way Sony treats its first party titles and the history they have, we’re pretty sure to guarantee that this title will be one of the very many to own in 2008.
Top Ten
The Getaway 3
Since its announcement at E3 ‘05, The Getaway has been a mysterious title, only revealing fractions of gameplay in small but impressive tech demos.
Based on what we saw at GDC last year, The Getaway looks remarkable, utilizing the PS3 architecture to present detailed graphics and realistic simulations for city traffic and human artificial intelligence. In terms of gameplay, we can only guess that it follows something similar to the previous Getaway titles, providing police shoot outs, coarse language, grand theft auto, and a mafia related story.
In the demo we saw, the developers were able to take a city center and fill it with hundreds of citizens, each with there own unique animations and A.I. routes. Even with traffic, people, and other ambient effects the game still seemed to run smooth. According to the developers, the tech demo was used to show the usefulness of the PS3's SPUs and how they can be utilized to perform multiple advanced tasks, like city simulation.
If Sony can revamp the series and put just as much time and effort into this title like they are doing with such titles as Killzone 2, then you could be looking at the next best 3rd person sandbox title outside of GTA.
InFamous
Developed by Sucker Punch Productions and first announced at E3 2007, Infamous is perhaps one of the most intriguing forthcoming PlayStation 3 releases thus far. Little is known about the game, though what we can gather, it takes the form of a third-person action/adventure title in the hugely popular Sandbox mold, allowing the player to affect the outcome of the game based on his or her decisions throughout.
Infamous boosts an impressive array of destructive powers, with the main protagonist able to wield abilities in telekinesis and electricity, as well as take flight and perform ‘super jumps’. Additionally (and perhaps unsurprisingly) the main character also appears to possess incredible, super-human strength, as witnessed in the official trailer for the game, where he effortlessly picked up multiple vehicles before hurling them at his foes.
Quite how or why you are able to wield these powers is unknown at this point, and as mentioned, there isn’t a great deal of information to throw around; however, as a PS3 exclusive, we can’t help but feel compelled to get our hands on this Crackdown-inspired action romp as soon as possible. Definitely one to watch out for.

@ Hyourinmaru
We decided to not include Final Fantasy XIII cause its highly doubtful we'll see it in the U.S. before 2009.

I honestly think LBP is underhyped... the creativity of humans is amazing, and if MM pulls it off and gives us enough tools to be as creative as possible, this game could be one of the greatest games of all time.
If they can somehow implement triggers into this game, it will be unstoppable.
UMS in RTS games such as StarCraft and WarCraft can be extremely creative, and that's with crappy tools.
Trust me, this game will be incredible.

Can we not manage to put an apostrophe when a title is possessive? This is an awesome gaming site, yet things as simple as article titles are constantly errored in relation to grammar. Possessives = apostrophe. Seriously, it's getting old.

I agree with everything except White Knight Chronicles. Maybe I just think the plotline is overused or something, but the game seems like a flop to me.

Echochrome anyone? Maybe Home? Not a bad list though.

but 21st comment aside... let's focus on the big things right now yall... in order from 1-5... MGS4 - Haze - Killzone 2 - LBP - White Knight Chronicles... and that's just from the list... i think they're understimamting SOCOM by putting that as a runner up... come on now june... this sh1t was supposed to be out ages ago... now i know that the longer the sh1t takes the better it's gonna be... but be honest... SOCOM deserves to be right there next to MGS4.. and also giving the fact both of these titles are being released around the same time.... it's gon blow sh1t out the water... without a doubt... Cha-Ching... i know them wallets are getting fat SONY... For those of you who took the time to read this sh1t...chek yo friends list around that time these 2 games are out... bet either any 1 of those 2 games are gonna be under theire names... if i'm wrong yall know my name hit it up...

MGS4, Tekken 6, FF XIII. Can't really say I'm too excited about any other titles this year, to be honest. I'll probably end up buying most of the games listed here though. Oh and by the way, what if Square stopped the Final Fantasy franchise for a little while after this one and worked on some PS3 remakes for FF7 / FF8? What would everyone think of that?

I don't think the exclusives are goint to save the ps3 unfortunately, why because hardware sales are in for the us for the year and sonys ps3 as had a total stuffing, it seems only blu-ray sony can really shout about but i don't think they will beat dvd, ok here come the figures for the entire year in the usa, the DS on 8.50 million 2.47 million sold at december second the wii which sold 6.29 million and in dec sold 1.69 million, third xbox 360 which sold 4.62 million and in dec sold 1.26 million, fourth the ps2 which sold 3.97 million and dec sold 1.1 million, fifth psp which sold 3.82 million dec sold 1.06, sixth ps3 sold 2.56 million dec 797.600 who ever wins in the us wins the next gen gamin, go to http¦/gaming-monstersandcritic.com

Why no FFXIII? Everyone says it won't make it out in 08', but officially it's suppose to and I'll not believe differently until it's officially announced to be 09'.
Otherwise, great list. Can't wait until the second half of 08' when all these games start to roll out.

Bedsidelee ,
Just sell your PS3 to someone who'll appreciate it more. Don't come to this site just to post negative comments. And Microsoft and xbox fanboys like you need to stop thinking that America is the only country that matters when it comes to gaming. -

How dare you not place FFXIII. FXIII is a more anticipated exclusive than half of the list here. There some games here I haven't even heard before of. Only three games are known by anyone. Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, and FFXIII. BY FXIII I refer to both FF.

psn id: gingo.... i couldn't have made a better list if i tried, every one of these games should be a must buy for any ps3 owner and those still complaining about FF13 not being there as NoUseMercenary said already its highly doubtful it will be out this year, heck i'm really doubtful killzone 2 will be out this yr but we'll see what happens
