Bioware just recently announced the title of the second novel in the Mass Effect series, called Mass Effect: Ascension (set between the first and second game). Ascension will be arriving in Summer 2008. On top of that, the developer confirmed that there will be a sequel, but no date was announced (possibly 2009?)
Finally, the game a lot of us have been waiting for, Banjo-Kazooie on Xbox 360 by UK developer Rare. In this Rare Christmas card, the developer hints that Banjo-Kazooie will be coming out in 2008. If you look at one of the socks hung above the fireplace, it says "K13", representing the new Killer Instinct game many have been waiting for years:

Last but not least, Ubisoft announced the first details for the upcoming Rainbow Six Vegas 2, which is scheduled for a March 2008 (could we expect a delay?). Here are the game highlights and one of the brand new screenshots:
• More Multiplayer – The highly acclaimed multiplayer mode in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas has been upgraded to include 13 new maps with more intense face-offs, two new adversarial modes, more rewards, and easier access to matches using the improved and intuitive matchmaking system.
• Unprecedented Customizable Experience – Create your own identity that persists through both the single player and multiplayer modes and progresses along with you. Reap the benefits of your single player rewards in multiplayer and vice versa.
• Vastly Improved Co-op Mode – Turn single player mode into co-op mode at any time, just by jumping into the game. Now you and a friend can jump into a single player game and assist without any change to the story. The single player maps and storyline were created with co-op in mind, meaning every map has multiple entry points and the story is unaffected.
• Challenging AI – The AI is more challenging than ever. Now, the terrorists are equipped with thermal vision, night vision, and shields – not to mention a multitude of varying tactics – all of which are guaranteed to give you a new playing experience every time you go into battle. As you progress within the game, you’ll be able to outsmart your enemies by taking advantage of intelligence opportunities, such as thermal scanning.
• New Weapons and Armor – Take down the terrorists more effectively using 11 new weapons. New camouflage, clothing and gear allow for the ultimate customizations.
• More Vegas – Sin City is back and bigger than before. Explore all new Vegas hot spots and the gritty back streets creating a visual experience that is as challenging as it is breathtaking.
