What's the next big computer game?

Now that Grand Theft Auto IV is out, I've been wondering what the next big video game will be.  Spore promises to be big if only because the game's designer, Will Wright, has a history of making games that are massive hits [e.g., SimCity and The Sims]. I am extremely excited about Fallout 3, first because the teaser trailer was astonishing and second because the game is being designed by the same team that made Oblivion.

There is a third game I've added to my "okay, this could be cool" list: Mirror's Edge. Scheduled to be released around the same time as Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge is a first-person action-adventure video game that focuses less on shooting and more on interacting with the in-game environment. The following trailer from GameTrailers.com shows you gameplay footage of what Mirror's Edge will look like.

The second video deconstructs the trailer, pointing out some things you might have missed.

Color me intrigued.

I'm very excited about Fallout 3. I haven't played either of the first two but this third one is coming with a lot of hype and I have to say it does sound interesting.
