Wrapping It Up If any proof is needed to validate video games as a phenomenon of entertainment, look no further than the list of upcoming titles for 2008. The new calendar year is looming large on the horizon, and with it will come one of the most stacked release schedules ever seen on the PC. That's right: PC gaming - for years, mere months away from certain death - is alive and well. As the capabilities of dedicated game consoles increase, game development on the PC benefits - and vice-versa. And who can genuinely argue that the PC is still the preferred platform for some of the most popular genres, such as first-person shooters and strategy games? Even after paring down the list of 2008 releases by removing not-so-anticipated titles and accounting for recently announced delays, the list of anticipated games is a long one. The preview article is split up into rough genre sections - you can use the list to the right to jump to your favorite type, or just browse through the whole lot and try to take it all in. Understandably, not every PC game for 2008 has been included (unannounced titles, notwithstanding) as an awful lot of budget and casual titles will no doubt fill the shelves. Grab a glass of your favorite beverage (preferably one with plenty of caffeine and sugar), plant yourself in a comfortable chair and let me spin you a yarn of the games of the future. The very near future, that is.
