Afrika-Well, one of the upcoming PS3 titles is Afrika, an African Safari game. There isn’t really that much we know about it, except that it has really pretty graphics. We don’t even really know a devloper or a publisher, or even a release date, possibly because the release dates on the PS3 are like the points on Whose Line is it Anyway, they don’t mean anything. Anyway, this game could be pretty good if they decide to extend it somewhere beyond just a safari game. Looking at Giraffes eat leaves isn’t really a game. If that’s all, just put it on DVD.  

  

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2-One of the games I’m anticipating most is Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, scheduled to hit our shores in November, but recentlyat Leipzig, a German game convention, they showed off some more stuff. They unveiled a couple of new minigames, including Burp, a chugging competition, an Indiana Jones-style game, and even a bike race where you throw water bottles, they all equal out to 50 minigames, instead of 60. They also have new costumes, including an Assassin’s Creed style-costume. Overall, this game looks to be a great one that I’ll be sure not to miss.

  

Halo Wars-No, this isn’t what I’m going to call my Halo 3 matches with Colt, but a new RTS from the makers of Empire Earth. However, instead of cotrolling little settlers and soldiers, you control Spartan warriors, hopefully with Plasma swords. Basically, this will be a great game for any Halo fan who just wants something more than mindless plasma sword pwnage. And for that few people with something wrong with them, this game will come out sometime in 2008. In fact, those few people should just be checked into the nearest mental clinic.
