MW2, It's been hyped so much, I don't see how it could be outdone.

Probably modern warfare 2. FPS and RTS are the biggest mainstream groups.
And this being a big FPS title in the CoD series, well...

Personally Dragon age is number one.

Screw the fall. Dragon Age is the release of the year. I've been looking forward to this for almost 3 years!

I feel the same way.

Well, if it gets a lot of terrible pre-release reviews - it could fail. I hope not though...

Obvisously, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be the most successful. Personally, I'd only buy a copy so I could destroy it. Dragon Age: Origins and Borderlands will be the best this fall, just not most successful.

Call of Duty gets too much hype. How about we all stop hyping series and hype new IPs? BORDERLANDS!!!

Successful as in sales? MW2 easily. This is one of the big blockbusters of 2009, the Premiership contender for GOTY. You should add Batman: AA to that list - the dark horse this year. But those are some very promising titles to be released by the end of this year I must say.

Looks like Dragon age origins could really be as great as neverwinter nights. But sales wise I could see MW2 selling more, unless what happens with NWN 1 and 2 happens to dragon age.

Maybe... Every other game on that last sounds 10x better than MW2, MW2 will be the most successful.. There's too much hype, and too many 12yr old fanboys.

It won't even be a competition, MW2 by far. Now, if you're looking for the second-most successful game this fall, then that's different :)

Same here. Treyarch pretty much copied 2 with worsened gameplay, CoD 4 was a PoS, and a WaW was a WWII CoD 4.

I didn't find it that good. I like cinematic stories, just, this one wasn't that great, IMO. And I hated the online. Best online game is Team Fortress 2.

Well it had good action scenes like the one is chernobyl and there is no whine about being a modern fps that the enemies take too many shots, like stalker crysis and far cry 2 and killzone 2, many people whine "how many times i need to shoot someone?" Multiplayer is too quick, i think am better with CS instead. In any case remember the pipes blowing up in the first level of cod4? (After the training the one with the ship)...well stuff like that happen all the time in black mesa.

No. I guess we're just picky. Or not. thought The Darkness was a better cinematic game. It was a phenominal shooter.

Well cod 1 had good levels and story, cod 2 had neither, and cod 4 had only good story.

I'm not saying CoD 4 had a bad story, just not a good one. I think games need to have more cinematic moments in them, like in Aliens when Ripley opens the hatch when the Alien Queen is trying to pull her down. Great moment.

On the subject of game stories, why do we always have to play as American/British? Can't we play as an African Peace Keeper, and Australian SAS? Or even just the South Asian rebels?

i agree or avp 2, lets see if avp 3 will have cinematic story, in any case it has a good story not greart or amazing, eg crysis has a blockbuster story, some people say its good some people say its bad, i think its good but cod 4 has bettter one.... in any case not many games have story like deus ex or ss2 but seriously when it comes to fps cod4 has the best story for the last few years, eg stalker....where is the story? What i dont udnerstand is what is good about mass effect story? Its nothing new just a modern and halo military style star trek, its a copy of star trek with equipment that look like it came from halo, the story is generic and overdoing it "save the galaxy"...dont you think you overdoing it? The characters are generic and blant the levels and scenary too and instead of good twists or a cinematic way to tell the story its filled with dialogues that tell you what happens next without telling you how its gonna happen, it provides stupid explanations to questions that appear along the way and no one takes your character seriously in the council, it didnt have any tension or any hate or charactarazation its a story that has been told so many times and now its been re-told in a generic way without much depth or charactarazation, its the most overatted game when people say "that game has an amazing story" Amazing setting and universe, yes but the actual story doesnt really say much.

World of Warcraft. :P

Of new games though, probably Modern Warfare 2, because apparently people never get tired of aiming crosshairs. Actually, I guess it's entirely possible that the Sims 3 expansion will outsell it, but I don't even have any idea how well The Sims 3 has sold so far. I'm guessing probably pretty damn well.

The game I'm looking forward to most that is coming out this year is probably Champions Online, although I'm going to wait until some reviews are in before I plunge into that. Tropico 3 should hopefully be pretty good, but I really haven't heard much about it. I just hope they find some ways to make it feel different without making it suck. I'm sure that even if it's a great and critically acclaimed game that hardly anyone will pay any attention to it anyway.

edit: Well, I just looked it up and of course The Sims 3 sold ridiculously well, so I won't be surprised if the expansion ends up being the big winner.
