1. Fallout 3
(Bethesda)
(Out: October 2008)

PRO: Those faux PSAs that opened the Microsoft press conference? Brilliant. Couple the marvel that is Bethesda's Oblivion engine with the beloved Fallout franchise, and boom, you've got yourself a more handsome couple than Angelina and Brad. This game is looking so damn good, it's worth escaping the Vault for, you know, just to pre-order it.
CON: The 100 hours of gameplay we were promised? Aside from a handful of nerds in the Cleveland suburbs, who honestly has this kind of time to invest in a game anymore?

Want more? Read the preview.

WTF is this? Finally a game with enough content that you can enjoy and you are whining that it will take you more than 10 hours to play?

I am really excited about Fallout 3. I want to shoot garbage at bandits, I want to drop a nuke, I want to meet a girl with 3 eyes..

Anyone will make time if those 100 hours are worth playing and varied enough, most recent RPG's (hell, games in general even) are short enough already without being (so much) more compelling than the Interplay-classics.
