Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. It looks so awesome and innovative.
Also, but not as much: Gears of War 2.
I can't think of any others. Maybe Guitar Hero 4 will be announced soon?

Episode put me on a bit of a downer, esp for last in series
HAWX is a air combat game from Tom Clancy/Ubisoft, looking damn sweet as well.
-Battlefield: Bad Company: Loved the battlefield games since 1942
-Too Human: Looks like Dynasty Warriors, except not sucking and in space with tons of cool shit to collect. Plus Norse mythology!
-Borderlands: An ass-ton of loot, 4 way co-op and randomly generated environments? Sign me up!
-Dead Space: Looks creepy, and some cool gameplay elements (i.e. using a cutting laser to lop off specific parts)
-The Agency: Could this be the first MMO to NOT SUCK? Only time will tell, but I have my fingers crossed.
-Battlefield Heroes: Again, I love Battlefield and this one is free, so why the hell not?
-Prototype: Eating people, running around, eating people, running around. It's like a less pretentious version of GTA IV, but fun to play
-Spore: I wasn't planning on this, but the Creature Creator demo completely sold me.
-Fallout 3: Oblivion was great, and it's like that with guns. Cool.
-TC's HAWX: Ace Combat 6 + a non-terrible story + more than 10 planes? Sold.
-Operation Flashpoint 2: Pretty much the original 'serious' FPS, but with better graphics.
-World in Conflict 360: I do not have the monolith of a computer necessary to run this at anywhere near playable on graphics settings above 'Starcraft', plus I can play with my friends. Cool.
-Mercenaries 2: One of the few games to not only be completely unabashed at doing little more than blowing the crap out of everything, but also not being a shitty budget title at the same time.
-Tiberium: Rainbow Six with aliens and mechs? Sick.
-Gears 2: Well, 90% of Live is going to be playing it, so might as well not be left out.
-Mirror's Edge: Finally, a game that lets me be a parkour without getting off my fat ass!
-Red Faction: Guerrilla: Not sure about this one, but Geo-Mod was a cool innovation. Can they pull another trick like that out of the hat?
-Left 4 Dead: It looks like a cool game, but since Valve is developing, it's pretty much guaranteed to be amazing.
-Halo Wars: A 360 RTS based on one of my favorite franchises? Yay!
-STALKER Clear Skies: I said come in, don't stand thereI said come in, don't stand thereI said come in, don't stand thereI said come in, don't stand thereI said come in, don't stand there
-The Force Unleashed: Not to sound like a huge nerd, but I love the Star Wars universe. It's like the 20's in Space, and adding superpowers to that is pretty awesome.
-Splinter Cell: Conviction: Love the games, love the story, sold. I haven't been disappointed with an SC game yet.
-Far Cry 2: I'm going to need to spend pretty much the US treasury to get a computer that'll run this well, but I've got time.
-Warhammer 40k MMO: This'll take a while, but Dawn of War is pretty sick. Let's hope for a free trial.
-End War: Another 360 RTS, and this time I can keep both hands in a giant bag of Cheetos (yay voice commands)

Smash Bros Brawl. Due to be released next Thursday.
I hate this, I really do. While I understand that it takes time to convert from NTSC (or whatever its called) to PAL, what I don't get is why they need to waste time translating into 5 different languages and then releasing THAT in Australia.
Last time I checked, Australians spoke English. We (as a general rule) don't speak Italian, Spanish, German or French. It is a waste of time to throw in the additional languages. What they SHOULD do is this:
Release in Japan
Translate to English
Release in USA
Convert to PAL
Release in Australia, NZ and possibly the UK
Translate 5 times into various European languages all on one copy of the game
Release in a region where it would be considered helpful to have multilingual games (ie. not Australia)
...
Anyway, yeah, Brawl. At least we get it before the Europeans (one day before).

I'm not entirely thrilled about a bunch of games coming out just yet.
Soul Calibur IV, as I already have a reserve on the limited edition
SW The Force Unleashed, Just looks brilliant
Fable 2, Not entirely sure yet...
Prince of Persia, Pretty stoked about this one
Too Human looks fun along with some others but seeing as i like platformers, PoP is what i'm really waiting for.

As a massive footie fan looking forward to the usual yearly updates:
Football Manager 2009
FIFA 09 (make a career mode out of the Be-A-Pro feature please EA!)
PES2009 (please don't screw it up this year Konami!)
Other things that I'm interested in:
Final Fantasy XIII (probably next year but worth a mention)
Resident Evil 5 (same as FF probably coming out next year, but so good it's worth a mention)
Fallout 3
Silent Hill 5
Dead Space
Far Cry 2
And then of course the decent 360 games that I had to get rid of when it broke and I got my PS3. Games like COD4 and the Orange Box, need them again. Also probably Uncharted as it looks like the best PS3 exclusive aside from of course the obligatory MGS4!

Bad company looks beyond fun, it takes fun to a whole new level if you saw the trailer you would know its soooooo funny. I'm also can't wait for The Force Unleashed as well, i love in between games you just don't know what can happen
Definitely Fallout 3... I'm considering pre-ordering the collector's edition even though my PC probably won't be able to run it. Ah well, it'll make for a damn fine game when I replace it in four years.
Spore's right up there on my wish list as well.
