It's been a brilliant few months for gaming fans, with the launches of GT5 Prologueg(80187)a(1277198))
, Mario Kart Wii, and especially Wii Fit and Grand Theft Auto IV all going down a storm for a record-breaking April.
Those enormous titles aren't the only games looking likely to do huge numbers. Here's our top picks for the rest of the year...
The biggest exclusive PS3 game of the year, we're getting fully behind MGS4.
Alone in the Dark promises to reinvent Survival Horror, with frighteningly lifelike visuals, fantastic physics and a DVD Chapter Select
style feature which means everyone can complete the game.
This third edition of Nintendo's massively popular fighting franchise has been six years in waiting, so it's bound to fly off the
shelves. New characters include Wario, Diddy Kong, Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog, and great reviews suggest this might be as big
as Mario Kart.
Spore (PC & DS) - 05 September 08
The year's biggest PC title by a mile, Spore comes from the creator of The Sims, letting players create a creature from a microbe and
evolve it to an entire galactic space faring species! Out in September, a DS version will also be available.
Gears of War 2 promises a bigger, better, even more bombastic second outing for Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad. An epic tale of survival,
loss and retribution, we're expecting massive sales from the sequel to 2006's stand-out shooter.
