Here are the games i am most looking forward to this year:

Dawn of War 2 (not yet officailly announced, but already known about, may not be coming out until 2009)

Empire: Total War - a new game in the Total War franchise that takes place in Napoleonic times, including naval battles

Operation Flashpoint 2

NCAA College football 2009

Fallout 3

I am sure there are at least 2 more that I have forgotten about. Anyone else like any of these, or have some others you are looking forward to?
