Wii, Halo3... they're here. Big deal.

Other than Spore, Crysis and Rock Band... what is going to be huge in 2008/2009 ?

I would mention Starcraft 2, but that won't be as revolutionary.

I like the idea of a future-themed GTA. Perhaps some kind of Cyberpunk kind of thing. Rich and Poor, Violence, Pollution, Robots, AI, Corporations, Technology, etc.

There's been many gory games, tough to call one out.

They all do the same stupid things though, especially 3d games. All you get is some blood sprites flying around and magically pasting onto walls, red meteorite-chunks flying, and stiff limbs and bodies falling down.

That's the essence of rendering gore, I guess.

One game stands out to me though... because it may not be as advanced as the latest jazz, but it definately did the gore right.

Rise of the Triad.

Every dead enemy was a storm of blood. Everything was sprite based, but they put so much effort into animating the sprites with many frames and detail. Blood splattered onto walls... but it ALWAYS melted downwards. You don't find that in many games. Blood sprayed upwards out of a guys neck. Eyeballs rolled down your screen. It was cool stuff. This was 10 years ago just after Doom came out.
