Alan Wake, Fable 2 and others will release in 2008

by Dustin Burg { Jan 8th 2008 at 10:00AM }

Something we forgot to mention that was included in Dan Mattrick's ever enjoyable memo was the fact that, for the first time ever, a few Xbox 360 games have been confirmed for a 2008 release.

Nestled towards the bottom of Mattrick's memo he lists a few games that'll release in 2008 including the not so canceled Alan Wake and Fable 2 as well as Too Human, Halo Wars, Splinter Cell: Conviction and "several exciting yet-to-be-announced titles". Wait, did you get that? Alan Wake is no longer rumored, but is now confirmed for release this year! Double w00t, w00t to that! But don't get us wrong. We're totally happy to hear Fable 2, Too Human and the others are also confirmed for release this year, it's just that we've been in an Alan Wake drought as of late and hearing that it hasn't turned into vaporware makes us giddy. Anyhoo, it's nice to see some of the our 2008 game release predictions coming true and know that we won't be in a gaming slump after last year's amazing lineup. It's time to get your pre-orders lined up fanboys, because this year is going to be grreat!

HEy guys I am a gamer from India and am really proud of the progress we have made in the Global gaming market, earlier we were considered a very small

market but today we are on par with major gaming communities, I would really like your input on Indian gaming, visit http://blog.games2win.com/ and share

your thoughts.

If they can have all those games release this year they should be able to hold back some of the competition.
Let's just hope they stagger the releases instead of having everything come out in the last 3 months of the year.

I want a confirmation of Age of Conan and Project Offset.

Does anyone know WHEN in 2008 these games are coming out?

Too Human was listed on a bunch of websites as January 2008, but I highly doubt that.

Fable 2, yeees !! - Lets just hope for more replay value...more random items !! - uhh or sacred 2

Good stuff. I hope Alan Wake doesn't slip by unnoticed, which i highly doubt because it has incredible graphics and we are all graphics whores, aren't we? The game has potential and i hope it delivers!

Gosh...when will a decent game release....it's been pretty empty these days. I have finished all the last year's lineups. I don't play online. And so my 360 is turned on once every two days for some 15mins of Burnout Paradise action. Come on...release some games already!! My spank-new Elite and it's smooth BenQ drive is getting no exercise!
