Arrow What games are you looking forward to now?

This gets repeated every 3 months or so... thought I'd be the one to start the ball rolling this time. No sense in digging up an older topic as it'd all be out of date by now. Here are mine:

Spyro 4 - The series is now being handled by Equinoxe Check 6 instead of Insomniac... let's hope they do just as good a job. It's already looking good. Unfortunately, I think the silliness and surreal factors of Spyro 3 are here to stay; I don't think they plan on recreating the mystical, draconian feel of the original.
Tekken 4 - The next incarnation of the King Of The Iron Fist Tournament. Looking superb.
Ape Escape 2 - The original was a classic. Ugly graphics, but a classic nonetheless. Righteously hailed as one of the best platfomers ever, I expect nothing less from the sequel.
Vexx - This is a weird game. It's a platformer, but it's very dark and scary, mingling standard-fare cuteness with downright disturbing stuff.
Malice - Fit girl with a dirty great mallet. Formerly an XBox exclusive, it's now defected to my dream machine. Yippee-ki-ay!
Rayman 3 - The scary man with no limbs and a nose bigger than his head is set to return. I just hope it's another platformer and not one of those daft racers he's been doing.
Ratchet & Clank - Insomiac's new series. It is technically a platformer (starting to see a pattern here? 3 guesses as to what my favourite game genre is), but Insomny is trying to get the genre renamed as 'character action'. Riiiight. The screenshots I've seen are looking superb; it looks and plays rather like Jak & Daxter but is set in a futuristic, sci-fi, industrial cityscapes rather than in a lush natural world dotted with the odd ruin and lowly dwellings. Oh, and there's a character called Skid McMarx.
Sly Raccoon - A cel-shaded thief-'em-up. One of the precious few games where you play a bad guy.
Kingdom Hearts - Okay, it's got Disney characters in it. But it's made by Square, which balances out the bad karma. Looks like fun.
Prisoners Of War - Escape from WWII PoW camps by bribing guards, stealing things and MGS-style stealth. It's very time-dependent a well; you have to show up for role call and everything, which adds another dimension to the gameplay.
Futurama - The Simpsons video games were fairly disappointing, so I'm prepared for the worst from this one, but we can live in hope.
Freaky Flyers - It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, but with planes. An action adventure that involves flying. Nice.
Dr. Muto - Platformer/action game with a deranged quack.
Dragonkind - Not much is yet known about this game, but the artwork and character design is superb; having been designed by many ex-Marvel Comics illustrators. It's an action game that lets you play as some dude who gets on well with dragons, who help him. Good concept and graphics; let's see if they can pull it off.

EDIT: I don't know why there's a line break in the middle; but I can't make it go away.
