I went to the intel factory for the fastest cpu and all i got was this Barcelona Tshirt. :?
AMD 6000+, 8800gtx, 24" dell lcd,X-FI pro gamer sounds 2x74 wraptor hd's, 2gig ram, 650w thermaltake ps and vc3000case, log.Z5500 speakers, g15 Keyboard
Gears of War for PC (Love the multiplayer gameplay)
NOT Crysis (fancy show of graphics dont impress me anymore)
COD 4 (Damn it the graphics are just WOW)
Crysis (pre ordered)
COD4 (pre ordered)
Gears for PC if it is a good port.
NOT: HL2 ep2 orange box or whatever. That whole Steam thing pissed me off royally when HL2 came out. It took a few days and many hours of high speed internet time to get HL2 installed and working. Will never, ever buy from Valve/Steam again. Will play Portal on a friends machine for free however, maybe tonight. Kiss my grits Valve!
Another compilation, The Black Box, was also planned. This would have contained only the new material (HL2: Episode Two, Portal, TF2) but was later canceled for retail, and will only be available through Steam to owners of the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT graphics card. These owners receive a voucher for a free copy of The Black Box through Steam which can only be transferred along with the graphics card.

Crysis
Hellgate London
The Witcher
Assasains Creed (hopefully not delayed longer for pc)
Also in the same boat for GoW, if they port it well then I'm up for it.
EDIT: I have little hope for assasins creed now. It comes from the same Ubisoft group that brought us SCDA and we all know what a joke that was for PC support.
Also a game that didn't make it to my list.... Jericho!!!

After all that noise I made about Valve/Steam guess what I got...

The Black Box!
It came free with a new hd2600xt. Got em both for $95 w free shipping. The 2600 is a step back in time for me after having huge power sucking dual slot cards like the 1950xt and the 8800gts. It is kinda nice to have a little quiet card for theater use.
While I was at it I picked up HL2-ep1 for $9.95 to complete the HL2 collection. It was pretty cool to be able to use Steam to download the original HL2 from Steam and not need the original disks at all! I hate to admit it but Steam is pretty cool....
Looking forward to Crysis now that my machine is above recomended specs
Also:
CoD4 - The Demo was crazzzzy
Hellgate: London - Preordered to play the BETA... now I'm not sure if I want to keep it
Soul Storm - The next in the Dawn of War saga
Bioshock - Looks and sounds fun
