November 20, 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 an advanced race of aliens.

IGN's Most Wanted for November 20, 2006
BERJAYA #1       Halo 3 (360)
Publisher: Microsoft   Release Date: TBA 2007

With The Legend of Zelda out in stores, a new game had to be crowned king. It shouldn't come as a shock that with news of a spring multiplayer demo would catapult Halo 3 to the top of IGN's wishlist. Master Chief is ready to report for duty and has a brand new trailer set to debut December 4. Halo 3, you cannot come soon enough.

DS/PSP Most Wanted
BERJAYA #1       Pokemon Diamond
Publisher: Nintendo   Release Date: TBA 2007

It's true -- you've gotta catch 'em all. The latest in the successful Pokemon series is already available in Japan. In fact, it's been one of the best selling Pokemon games of all time. Pokemon Diamond is likely to share the fate of its Japanese iteration and become a big seller in the U.S. Warm up that stylus, the RPG collect-a-thon will be here soon enough.
