Games were originally made for entertainment but this trend has changed since past few years. These days Games are played at competitive levels and it has moreover become a profession for designers as well as participants. The  prize money and sponsors are also increasing day by day and it wont be long for us to see more of World Level competitions.

The SONY’s PS1 hit the market very hardly and gave a whole new gaming experience to the gamers which made the intentions clear that there will be a new things in the time to come.

SONY’s PS2 continued the trend and more and more gamers got attracted to it. Now SONY’s PS3 is being accompanied in the market with Microsoft’s XBox 360.

Games are played personally on a sinlge device like PS3,Xbox-360, laptops and computers or they are also played online on the Internet.

Now the Games that are expected to dominate this year are:

1.Punch-Out!!

This revival of Nintendo’s classic puzzle-sports-rhythmic-punching game has been a very long time coming. The original is probably my favorite 8-bit game ever, and no boxing game has ever been as much fun. Probably because Punch-Out!! never had anything to do with boxing. It was about perfecting your twitch reactions while trying not to fall over laughing at the ridiculous ethnic stereotype cartoons that served as your opponents.

Punch-Out!! for Wii will continue that storied tradition: Watch the croissants fly from Glass Joe as he’s knocked to the canvas. Will the addictive gameplay be as perfectly replicated?

2.Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned

The new Xbox 360 downloadable expansion to GTA IV offers a lengthy new narrative, and upgrades my favorite virtual metropolis with new weapons, missions, vehicles and multiplayer modes. What’s that you say? Klebitz is probably a murderous sociopath just like Niko? Yeah, well … as long as he doesn’t have an annoying cousin that’s always phoning him, I think I can put up with that.

3.Resident Evil 5

4.BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams

More worrisome than that: Will the fact that Ken Levine and 2K Boston are passing off development to the new 2K Marin studio in Northern California change things? Developing the BioShock sequel is a tall order for a rookie developer. The original’s blend of intelligent political commentary and riveting human drama had me hooked, and I’d fall in love with a game that managed to recapture that feeling.

5.StarCraft II

The original StarCraft, released in March of 1998, was one of the deepest, best balanced, most addictive real-time strategy games ever made. It had three richly varied races, an actual story and near-limitless potential for strategic variations.

Now, Blizzard Entertainment — a developer that has never released a bad game — is finishing up a sequel with gorgeous graphics, new unit types and abilities, and improved online matchmaking.
