This year, in gaming.. WHOOSH!

We've had a not too bad start for 08, a few good/great games, C&C3 Kane's Wrath got me re-hooked on the strategy games, and i'm all psyched up for RA3 and SCII. I'll probably finally get Sins of a Solar Empire in a week or two. I've only just got CoD4, finished the SP, ranking up in MP, great game, but I hate having to hold the hands of my squad mates all the way through, resisting the urge to shoot them and fail the mission.. Cod and Sins are gonna get me through this relatively dry summer.

Other than that, Fallout 3 woot, loved Oblivion, hated the previous Fallout games, looking forward to this (hahaha).

Crysis Warhead, hopefully it doesn't have a craptacular halo 2 inspired ending. And the multiplayer is maybe fun. A few mods i'm watching, especially Mechwarrior: Living Legends (gameplay video doesn't look too bad, they just show tanks and aircraft though and not the mechs in action, that i've seen).



Spore, not yet sure what to make of it, somewhat excited, somewhat, wondering if i'd like it.

What other games are there to look forward to this year? (console, PC, fill in the blanks )

PS OMG will blizzard let us play SC2 and not just those korean pros? A DEMO THANKS!

If that mod is successful i'll probably blow a nut

I'd be more tasteful, but I can't think of any other way to express myself.

Mechwarrior series are probably my favorite pc games while they lasted, hell I remember the very very first mechwarrior game I played in 1990 on my Tandy 1000.

It ran on 2 diskettes. It had polygon graphics. It was insanely fun.

Some of these have already been mentioned, but the titles I'm excited about this year are in no particular order :

Resident Evil, Spore, SC2(will probably be next year though), Fallout 3(I don't see how you could have hated the first games), Age of Conan(Already released, but MMOs are better judged after some time to mature), and Force Unleashed are probably my biggest titles.

Ghostbusters looks promising, and I've heard great things. However, I'm always extremely skeptical about movie games...

If they are going to revisit the Mech Warrior universe I hope it's in the form of Mech Commander.

Also depending on the DRM, Dragon Age.

Somewhat agree, I think Call of Duty 1-2 really did capture the WWII essence very well when it was released. I think it'd be really cool to do another WW2 game, but only if the delivery of story is top notch like it was in CoD4.

Something of the core of the problem is where exactly do they go with the story? I mean bloody near everything has been covered. Maybe we'll be playing the Germans, who knows.

You disgust me.

Does anyone know if Far Cry 2 is going to be released this year? I saw a demo on youtube and it looked pretty good.

Other than that, I don't see anything worthwhile except SC2 and Wrath of the Lich King. I'm going to Blizzcon this year and hoping that they announce Diablo 3 then, so I'm bringing an extra pair of underwear in case I simultaneously **** and cream myself. Oh yes.

But zomg the original designers of Diablo aren't making it, it can't possibly be good !! 111 lol sound familiar to you?

Anyways, hopefully if they ever did release it; it'd be a quality product. Its too bad Hellgate: London has so many technical issues

Remember that it is being made for consoles only most likely since it is made by treyarch, which is famous for there 'amazing' work on CoD 3. lol, im not so sure this will be that great of a game regardless of the theme or setting, but I could be/hope I am wrong!

Best,

It's coming for PC, but i'll hold my breath till I play it (if I play it).

Bah! Commodore or GTFO!

mine was an SL/2


it had a 2mhz cpu and no hard drive. 640k ram.

I think the highest tech game it was capable of running was mechwarrior, I did play an xmen game on it though but I can't remember the name. ed: Oh, and I had the first Test Drive game.

Tandy 16 color. SIXTEEN COLORS.
