So, Boiling Point (Xenus) will be released on May 20th.

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/previews/previews_story.php(que)id=118021

....
"The play area is massive, for a start - 625 square kilometres of
jungle, river and scattered habitation, all totally open to discovery
and exploration. As crazy as it may seem, however, it's the openness of
the gameplay rather than the landscape that truly impresses."
....

"There's a wild mix of gameplay here, kind of like GTA meets Deus Ex
meets Far Cry. Certainly a fascinating experiment, though one that
we're not yet totally convinced by - the combat and AI are deeply
underwhelming in the current build. But if these can be brought up to
speed, then Boiling Point could be a seriously hot property."
....

After the massive disappointment of HL2 maybe this one could finally
revive my passion for gaming yet again.

It doesn't look that good to me, but thanks for making us aware of new and
upcoming games. I always appreciate that!

Morrowind Meets Modern Military.

Seems very interesting indeed. I enjoy innovative cross-genre
games. Thanks for the pointer. Will keep an eye on the reviews
and user-reaction.

Really? How can someone who hasn't even PLAYED Half-Life 2 comment on
this and say "very well said"?
