Huh? 2008 has had many good games and will still have many good games:
GTA4
STALKER: Clear Sky
Red Alert 3
Spore
Left4dead
And many others that I can't remember now. 2008 has mostly been a late-in-the-year year for me so I guess I kinda understand where you're coming from.
I'm mostly following E3 through RPS and Kotaku.
At the end of 2007, pretty much the biggest year in gaming in a while, there was a worry that 2008 didn't have many very anticipated releases. Projects were announced along the way though, and now E3 proves that the year does have some really good titles. But yes, we'll have to wait for Christmas until all the huge releases.
As for individual titles, GTA4 winded up being a huge title without really being all that hyped, and it was delayed a number of times while Spore has been delayed to 2008.
EDIT: I just follow Gametrailers. I prefer to look at gameplay rather than read about it.
