  Out of that list I'm looking forward to:
Spore Jagged Alliance 3D Dragon Age The Witcher Divine Divinity 2 Grey Matter Crysis Stalker Far Cry 2 Bioshock Heavy Rain (!) C&C 3: Tiberium Wars Alan Wake Fallout 3 (if its actually released) HL2 episode 2 (+ Portal) And to a lesser extent: Supreme Commander Europa Universalis 3 Society Galactic Civilizations expansion Hellgate London Drakensang Not the time for dragons Vampyre Story Savage II They Hunger Assassin's Creed Cliver Barker's Jericho Overlord Football Manager 2008 Sam Suede Most remarkable thing about the list is the presence of a lot of adventure games. The genre is slowly picking up itself again, great news.  As for my list: same old thing, eh...mix of RPG's, horror games/psychological thrillers, adventure and some classics (jagged alliance, C&C). _________________ "I find a Burger Tank in this place?

Yes and no: I've played it a lot at a friend's place. So I know the game by and large, and I know it's been getting excellent reviews. And I love MOO-style games in general. So yeah, I'm definitely gonna play it somewhere in the near future. Maybe even with the expansion and everything._________________ "I find a Burger Tank in this place?

hmmm...Quake Wars sounds cool. I've been half-assed watching it for awhile now. It's like Battlefield 2 meets Quake. :p Have to see what the execution is like. I never really got into Battlefield 2142 (or whatever it is).
Y'know what would be cool? Battlefield 1778 or something. A battlefield 2 game with muskets and cannons and horses and crap. _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

oh, cool. That certainly looks like a very interesting game.
I'm sure I'll be picking it up.
Speaking of this topic...what's up with Spore? _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

You are 110% right. If i could i would bomb EA to kingdom to come. BF2142 is so broken its insane. _________________ When someone asks how rich you are, quote Rinox " I don't even have a rusty nail to scratch my butt with...!" Be well or Get Help!! |

hehe...good point Pev. I never even played 2142 beyond the demo. Bleh. Either I'm really jaded or modern games suck for the most part. There are so few GOOD game any more.

It's both that we're jaded and that real creativity is smothered by the money and time pressure. Look at how Psychonauts took years to find a producer and only really started selling well once it appeared on STEAM (because it was badly marketed in stores).
One of the most original and creative games of the last 5-10 years, for crying out loud. One that I actually enjoyed playing without thinking "been there, done that". Oh and the HL2 episodes can always make my day too...too bad they're so short. But the level design and the atmosphere is outstanding. Can't wait for Episode 2. And Portal! _________________ "I find a Burger Tank in this place? I'm-a be a one-man cheeseburger apocalypse." - Coach |
