新年的脚步越来越近，现在是对明年的游戏产业做出展望的最好时机了。很多大型游戏的发行都有了确定的消息，尤其是任天堂这种一向保密到家的公司都有消息传出，所以就有足够的内容还做这个TOP 10的排行榜了。 [1] 《生化危机5》（Resident Evil 5)） [2] 《战神3》（God of War III） [3] 《侠盗车手：唐人街战争》(Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars) [4] 《Wii 运动胜地》(Wii Sports Resort) [5] 《街霸4》(Street Fighter IV) [6] 《杀戮地带2》(Killzone 2) [7] 《蝙蝠侠：阿甘疯人院》 [8] 《疯狂世界》(MadWorld) [9] 《暴雨》(Heavy Rain) [10] 《但丁的地狱》(dante's inferno) 1.Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) Capcom, March 13, 2009. Epic Games’ Cliff Blesinski has said Resident Evil 4 inspired Gears of War 2. Now, the fifth installment in the best-selling survival horror series returns the favor in the form of cooperative gameplay. Set in Africa, gamers can choose Chris Redfield, who starred in the original game, or Sheva, a new strong female heroine, and take out zombies together offline or online. Horror games remain a top draw in gaming, as Electronic Arts’ superb DeadSpace recently proved, but no horror game has replicated the success of Capcom’s original survival horror game. 1.生化危机5 支持Xbox360和PlayStation3 《生化危机5》计划于2009年3月13日对外发售。  开《生化危机4》中的诸多未解之谜，新增了一个强壮的女主角Sheva。《生化危机5》将场景设在了中东一个炎热的沙漠小城，但还是少不了前几作中用阴暗的场景来衬托恐怖紧张的气氛。2. God of War III (PlayStation 3) Sony Computer Entertainment/Santa Monica Studios, October 1, 2009. If one game is going to entice gamers to make the jump to PS3 next year, it’s this one. Sony’s God of War franchise has pushed the realm of action, storytelling, and technology in its pair of PlayStation 2 adventures and more recent PSP debut. With a new game engine designed to take advantage of PS3, Kratos’ return promises to feature more on-screen enemies and increased interaction with environments courtesy of those double-chained blades. Aside from an amazing in-game trailer, not much has been revealed about this sequel, but it’s a guaranteed blockbuster. 第二： 《战神3》(God of War III)，支持PlayStation3 《战神3》计划于2009年10月1日对外发售。《战神3》使用了新的图形引擎，物理材质的表现效果将达到前作的4倍。借助新的引擎，《战神3》中的人物动作将更加流畅自然，形象将更加栩栩如生，包括闪电在内的各种特效将比以前更眩目。另外，游戏中的同屏敌人数量会比前作多，角色与关卡间的互动性也更高。 3.Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars(Nintendo DS) Take 2 Interactive/Rockstar Leeds, March 17, 2009. When you combine the most popular game system in the world with one of the most successful game franchises, it’s like printing money. Grand Theft Auto makes its Nintendo DS debut in this true 3D action/adventure game, which makes use of the touch screen in unique ways like using the stylus to tattoo fellow gang members. Clearly aimed at the Mature-rated crowd, this original game could entice those gamers who haven’t yet tried Nintendo’s cool portable to buy it. 第三：《侠盗车手：唐人街战争》(Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars)，支持任天堂DS 《侠盗车手：唐人街战争》计划于2009年3月17日对外发售。当将最成功的流行游戏同最受欢迎的掌上游戏机结合在一起，任天堂一定会稳赚。 4. Wii Sports Resort (Wii) Nintendo, Summer 2009. Nintendo is using this update of its console-bundled and still-popular Wii Sports game to get mainstream gamers hooked on its latest motion-sensor technology, Wii Motion Plus. Considering how well Wii Play has done two years running with its Remote pack-in, this game should have equally long legs. Games like Disc Dog allow for precise aiming as you toss a Frisbee for your virtual canine to catch. Swordfighting opens up new mano-a-mano duels and Power Cruising takes the classic Wave Race game to another dimension. With more games to be revealed, it looks like Shigeru Miyamoto is well on his way to rebounding from Wii Music’s slow start. 第四：《Wii 运动胜地》(Wii Sports Resort)，支持Wii 《Wii 运动胜地》计划于2009年夏季对外发售。《Wii运动胜地》的背景是一座热带的小岛。这次的运动范围将更为全面而广泛，包括水上摩托车、击剑、与小狗玩飞盘等。《Wii运动胜地》集合了数款运动游戏，搭配与游戏同捆贩售的全新Wii MotionPlus配件，可以让感应条（Sensor Bar）的讯息接收更灵敏而快速，让玩家的动作更易于被捕捉，享受反应更真实、且更具乐趣的游戏体验，让玩家轻易地沉浸其中。 和《Wii运动》相同，在《Wii运动胜地》里，玩家一样可以和家人好友一同进行比赛，无论是旁观加油、或是参与其中的玩家，都能由这样的趣味对抗中，获得高度的乐趣。而游戏简单易上手的特性，让新手或老手都能快速地投入游戏中的竞赛。 5.Street Fighter IV(Xbox 360, PS3) Capcom, February 17, 2009. Judging from the serpentine line of Comic-Con gamers eager to play the arcade version at Capcom’s booth last July, this is going to be the fighter to beat this year even with Tekken 6 due out. With more playable characters and modes than were featured in the Japanese arcade game (Capcom did not release this game in U.S. arcades), look for this game to help lift February game sales. This latest installment of the classic brawler introduces Gouken, Ken and Ryu’s true kung fu master, along with plenty of other colorful pugilists. To help celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this franchise, there’s also a feature film from 20th Century Fox – Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. 第五：《街霸4》(Street Fighter IV)，支持Xbox 360和PS3 《街霸4》计划于2009年2月17日对外发售。新游戏是Capcom公司纪念《街头霸王》诞生20周年推出的游戏，故事情节以《街头霸王2》之后的故事为背景，增加了许多新角色。按照计划，《街霸4》限定版的售价为79.99美元，除了游戏以外还将附带角色模型一个、4度工作室制作的65分钟的动画电影、迷你攻略本、原声音乐CD和未公开的神秘追加下载内容。关于模型，PS3版和X360版将分别对应隆和新角色毒蛇韦伯。 6. Killzone 2(PS3) Sony Computer Entertainment/Guerilla Games, February 27, 2009. Gamers should have played through the top shooters of 2008 like Gears of War 2, Resistance 2 and Call of Duty: World at War by the time this sci-fi shooter sequel hits retail shelves. In development in Amsterdam for four years, the single-player campaign brings the war against the Helghast to their home planet. Even without any cooperative support (a major exclusion for a shooter these days), this game lives up to the hype created several years back in terms of the visuals and gameplay. It also introduces some cool new twists to multiplayer by allowing up to 32 players to customize the online experience with five different mission types. The game can even randomly switch these mission types in-round, which changes the dynamic and strategy of the actual gameplay. Look for Resistance fans to add this shooter to their collection. 第六：《杀戮地带2》(Killzone 2)，支持PS3 《杀戮地带2》计划于2009年2月17日对外发售。《杀戮地带2》是PS2版《杀戮地带》的次世代续作，游戏由总部设于荷兰阿姆斯特丹，索尼旗下的 Guerilla Games工作室担任开发。在《杀戮地带2》中，玩家将扮演星际战略联盟(ISA)特战队成员，深入军事独裁国家黑尔盖斯特(Helghast)帝国的根据地，粉碎其扩张侵略的野心。 《杀戮地带2》使用了多种复杂的渲染技术，使游戏中的世界看起来比前作更加黑暗也更加逼真。另外，《杀戮地带2》中新增加了盲射的动作，玩家可以在不切换视点的情况下背靠或斜靠墙壁向外侧扫射，起到压制敌方的火力的作用。 7.Batman: Arkham Asylum(Xbox 360, PS3) Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment/Rocksteady Studios, May 1, 2009. With Electronic Arts missing out on the nearly $1 billion theatrical bounty of Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Dark Knight last summer, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is set up for another big hit. After seeing its LEGO  store shelves this year, this darker, grittier original story sends the Dark Knight into the depths of Hell – otherwise known as Arkham Asylum. In a plan orchestrated by The Joker, Batman is locked inside the walls of the asylum with all of the criminal masterminds he’s imprisoned there. The film phenomenon has opened up a whole new mainstream audience to Batman, which should help this game make a killing.第七：《蝙蝠侠：阿甘疯人院》(Batman: Arkham Asylum，支持Xbox 360和PS3 《蝙蝠侠：阿甘疯人院》计划于2009年5月1日对外发售。《蝙蝠侠：阿甘疯人院》描述犯罪城市高谭市中的精神病院阿甘疯人院里面监禁了小丑等罪犯，蝠蝙侠将再度出场为伸张正义与邪恶势力作战。本作也出版了同名漫画，并由原作者保罗丁尼继续负责剧本制作。 8.MadWorld(Wii) Sega/Platinum Studios, March 10, 2009. Throw Smash TV, The Running Man, Death Race and Sin City into a meat grinder and you’ll get this truly original, ultra-violent action game from acclaimed Japanese developer Platinum Studios. This 3D black-and-white game puts players in the boots of Jack, the latest contestant on a televised game show called “Death Watch.” The game’s ever-flowing gore stands out against the comic book backdrops filled with interactive environments like wood chippers and spiked walls. Taking advantage of the Wii controllers, killing  game can become very creative. There’s a huge audience of true gamers who have a Wii sitting in their homes just waiting for a game like this to come along.第八：《疯狂世界》(MadWorld)，支持Wii 《疯狂世界》计划于2009年3月10日对外发售。《疯狂世界》是由世嘉旗下四叶草工作室开发的一款动作游戏。该款游戏讲述了以组织者自居的恐怖集团在其控制的Varrigan城举办了一场杀戮游戏，主人公Jack参加了这场被成为“死亡竞赛”的恐怖杀戮游戏。游戏以黑白画面展现，鲜红的颜色则血淋淋的展现了游戏的暴虐残酷。 Heavy Rain(PS3) Sony Computer Entertainment/Quantic Dream, Fall 2009. Limited by the technology of Xbox and PS2, Quantic Dream President and CEO David Cage told me he was unable to realize his dream of interactive entertainment with 2005’s Indigo Prophecy. By focusing on a single platform, this PS3-exclusive thriller puts players on the hunt for a serial killer. The game, which employs revolutionary new motion captured technology, looks unlike any other game out there. Cage also promises that players will experience a unique adventure based on the many choices they make as the story unfolds. With Sony’s marketing power behind this game, and the critical accolades Cage garnered with Indigo Prophecy, this title could put Cage’s Quantic Dream on the mainstream map. 第九：《暴雨》(Heavy Rain)，支持PS3 《暴雨》计划于2009年秋季对外发售。《暴雨》由Quantic Dream制作小组负责，初定为冒险类游戏，开发度极低，而且仅仅是一个未成形的作品，在去年E3展上曾展出了一段3分钟的影片，并非透露游戏剧情，而是展示其中的图象技术及物理效果。当时让玩家相当震撼。《暴雨》采用最新动作捕捉技术，与其他游戏效果完全不同。 10. Dante’s Inferno (Xbox 360, PS3) Electronic Arts/EA Redwood Shores), Fall 2009. As excited as I am about Dead Space 2, it’s EA Redwood Shores’ other original game project that caught my attention recently – as well as Hollywood’s (there’s a bidding war for the film rights). Based on the medieval epic poem “The Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri, this third-person perspective action adventure game promises to send gamers through the nine circles of hell in pursuit of Beatrice. Using the Dead Space game engine, early gameplay from this title looks impressive and the source material is sure to help garner mainstream attention. But at the end of the day, if this game can deliver the blend of story and horror/action that Dead Space conjured up, EA will have another new franchise to expand. 第十：《但丁的地狱》(dante‘s inferno)，支持Xbox 360和PS3 《但丁的地狱》计划于2009年秋季对外发售。《但丁的地狱》以意大利诗人阿利盖利·但丁(Dante Alighieri)的长诗《神曲》(The Divine Comedy)  第三人称动作冒险游戏。
