That's a tough one. I think there will be some fantastic games, but a lot of mediocre ones riding on new technology.
Commandos 2
Alone in the Dark 4
Half-Life: Blue Shift
Hmmm...that's a lot less than I expected. All the Xbox games aside from MO sort of seem to be along the lines of 'world so big you won't know what to do' concept, which has never interested me (like all Rare games, for this reason). A lot of these great-looking games are also let down by horrible animation - especially Halo - which sort of destroys the realism that graphics try to achieve.
That's my rant. If you want an unreal game now, buy Sacrifice - it looks, plays and sounds better than most games you'll see during the next year.
