November 7, 2006 - There's nothing greater than playing awesome games on your favorite console or PC. The only thing close is the thrill in drooling over future games. This overwhelming desire to play the Next Big Thing has lead to the creation of IGN's Lust List.
Each week, IGN gathers the hottest upcoming games and places them in a pretty list. Who will be #1 this week? That all depends on the GPM (Game Popularity Metric), which is a complex formula developed by a MENSA Think Tank*.
#1 The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)It's no surprise that Zelda remains as IGN's most wanted game. For many the franchise was an introduction to the world of videogames. The Legend of Zelda and its hero, Link, have managed to change style and even gameplay without losing the sense of adventure that's made the series one of the best in gaming history. Expect to see Zelda perched on the top 10 until its release in mid-November. | ||||

#1 Final Fantasy III (DS)If you quickly polled the editors in the IGN office, the majority would list Final Fantasy III was their most anticipated handheld title. Apparently, the readers agree. Considered by many to be the best Final Fantasy, the re-imagined FFIII is now fully 3D offering as close to a "next-gen" experience as you can have on a handheld. | ||||
