The Lust List: 10/16/06

[Bomb-AŽ]

Welcome back to our weekly feature analyzing the games you're most excited about. These are the titles you added to your wishlists the most over the past week, and they give us a pretty clear picture of what IGN readers are jonesin' for. The List also gives us an idea of what you don't give a damn about; like, oh, we don't know, the PlayStation 3 -- not a single game from Sony's new console shows up on the list. From a software standpoint, the PS3 just isn't showing up on people's radar. Of course, pre-orders were snatched up at lightning speed last week, so enthusiasm for the console remains high even if nobody cares about the games. But even cross-platform games like Call of Duty 3 and Assassin's Creed generate more excitement on the 360 side of things.

The top ten overall list is a pile of Wii and Xbox 360 titles, with one PlayStation 2 game thrown in for good measure: Guitar Hero II. Looks like the news of Hero's final track list reminded folks how awesome this game is gonna be. Interesting to see Halo 3 and Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz tie for ninth place, as the two titles really aren't in the same league; if this list were Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Halo 3 would be Mike Tyson and Monkey Ball would be, oh, Don Flamenco.

Yeah, definately some anti-wii bias going on with this reporter.  He fails to make a top 10 wii games list, even though the top 2 overall are wii games, plus he uses (Ironically) a game Nintendo created to bash Nintendo's upcoming monkey ball game.  Tisk Tisk.
