Face it. There are some great PC games coming out in the 2nd half of 2008.

With these great titles I just can not see the death of PC gaming.

I have to applaud Capcom for releasing Devil May Cry 4 and Street Fighter 4 for the PC. Two traditional console games will now available for PC gamers in the near future. These are great titles and I am going to have to buy both for the PC. It is an absolute must as I see it. The release date for Devil May Cry 4 is July 8th. The game looks great too.

That's nice and all... does that include speculated games? If so I'd say Diablo 3 and Kotor 3. If not probably Sims 3... (can't think of any good games)

 

Edit: I'll go with Spore...

Street fighter 4 looks amazing, looks like I'm gonna have to invest in an XB360 controller!

Spore looks good too, hope they decide what's happening with the DRM soon...

Reply to mi1ez

DMC4 and SF4 here, too. I'm just loving Capcom this year.
I hope they'll do the porting for RE5 (if/when) it's announced for the PC.

Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3 are also on my list.

Oh, and GTA4 whenever it's released... hopefully before the end of the year.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

... I think I will be queuing overnight to get this one

Reply to jamesgoddard

Well, it would have been spore, but the DRM might make me skip that one. That leaves Fallout 3 as my most anticipated title. Starcraft 2 is second.

Reply to infornography42

Where are all the CnC fanboys, I know your here! Without doubt, my most anticipated game is Red Alert 3. The original Red Alert was the first computer game I ever played, way before Early Math and stuff like that. Red Alert and Dune pretty much got me hooked on video games, and the only thing better than a Red Alert 3 would be a new Dune like the old one and NOT the crappy 3D one.

I want to buy almost all of these games.

Street Fighter IV just looks so good though.

If you don't have a XBOX360 controller for the PC it is worth getting.

Can anyone get excited about Call of Duty 5?

http://www.rocketxl.com/cod5/assets/

I think it was a big mistake to go back in time for a sequel. I have a hard time seeing COD5 being anywhere as close to as popular as COD4.

I don't own either game but if I were to buy one of them today I think I would get COD4.

No, considering it's console only like COD3. I like the WW2 setting way better than modern day. I think the first COD was by far the best, COD2 is the second best, COD4 is 3rd, and COD3 is the worst.

Cod4, after months of procrastination, I finally got it a few weeks ago, I don't know why I still play, so much bull pisses me off. My clan is soo lucky I can't seem to get my mic working (again, must go back to xp..) for they will hear me yelling when it is fixed!

The devs that made cod4 (cod, cod2) wants exclusivity after cod5.

Don't have a favourite, but I am looking forward to Fallout 3, Starcraft 2, C&C RA3, Spore, A Vampyre Story and last but not least... Duke Nukem Forever!!! :P I don't care if it's crap, I just want to see what they've been doing for so bloody long! :D

Actually, there is a "Games for Windows" logo at the end of the "World at War" trailer, so I assume that it will be released for PC. BTW, the game I'm most looking forward to is HAWX, the Tom Clancy flight sim.

Reply to jwbb00

Infinityward made COD1, COD2, and COD4 and then this gay company Treyarch made COD3 and now COD5. It's almost like KOTOR. Bioware made KOTOR1 and it is still the best RPG ever made and then some company called Obsidian made KOTOR2 which was nowhere near as good as the original. I would be very pleased if only InfinityWard made the rest of the COD series.

Reply to tallguy1618

KOTOR2 was actually pretty good, they just had to cut it short due to FCKING DEADLINES!!!! (they cut out a whole planet, and all the stuff that linked to that - hence the deadend HK-50 quests (if it wasn't dead end, then blow me if i didn't try everything))

It was dead-ended.

There is another team working in tandem with Team Gizka to restore that planet, but since all the art/voice/plot assets were not yet in the game for it, it won't be a part of the KOTOR 2 restoration project.

Reply to infornography42

Ah ... com'on people, give the good old WoW some love. Personally I most look forward to the new WoW expansion. Finally a new class! After all these years ...

Strange that on day 1 of release, we would see 10 million death knights questing and going for dungeons at the same time.

Reply to imnotageek

While I am going to check out WotLK, I wouldn't really describe myself as excited. The new class should be interesting to play and new areas to explore is nice, but I can't see it being anything revolutionary, just more of the same. Fun until you hit the level cap and have seen everywhere, then back to the grind.

I agree with iamnotageek, the vast majority will roll a Deathnight on, or shortly after day 1 (I'll be waiting till I get to 80 on my main first). It'll be like Pyro update day in TF2 except with deathknights as far as the eye can see! It could get very annoying having hundreds of people doing the exact same DK quests as you, but I suppose that'll be true of every quest in the starting areas of Northrend too. Gah, I'm already feeling a little bored of it and I haven't even played it yet! lol

Reply to mothhive

Meh, WoW is cool and all, but I've been there, done that. I'd rather not keep doing that forever and ever. I'm interested in new experiences even if they are a part of older franchises.

Reply to infornography42

Fallout 3 for me!

Though Starcraft 2 is a close second.

And GTA4, though that hasn't been announced yet.

All bets off if any of those has Bioshock/Mass Effect style "copy protection."

Reply to snarfies1

I'm very confident that Starcraft 2 and Fallout 3 will be fairly tame on the DRM. Those publishers have good track records.

I second that. Wow does have warden.. but it doesn't seem so bad.

Ditto. Left 4 Dead is all good.

Speaking of, E3 is coming next month, so if there's a particular title you want us to check out, please let us know. I think we have most of the big ones covered, but feel free to nominate any and all titles.

And just to let everyone know, I played Red Alert 3 for an entire day but I'll prohibited from saying ANYTHING about my experiences until E3 starts on July 15 (I hate stupid press embargoes). But that will be coming soon...

Left 4 Dead is looking to me like the best game of this year. And the only title I'd even dare to preload on Steam with so much crap coming out lately, as long as it's stamped with Valve's quality seal it's all good.

Bear commandos for the win!

I'm looking forward to RA3, but not as much as FO3.

Games I'd like to see info on from E3:
Brutal Legend, Worldshift, Prototype, Mirror's Edge, and anything Battletech related. That is an IP that has been depressingly dormant lately, but now that it is in new hands, I hope for a game announcement soon.

Chalk up another one for Left 4 Dead! :D Can't wait to see how it actually plays!

I would really like to see Left for Dead, RA3, HL2 episode 3, or Civilization: Colonies (think this is what it's called). Thanks!

Reply to tallguy1618

I can't even think why everyone didn't vote for starcraft 2... that game is going to be amazing.
Although fallout 3 and red alert 3 do seem pretty awesome.

Reply to ledzeprules

Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3.

Spore was on my list, but EA has stated it will use the same type of DRM found on Mass Effect. Therefore, it is not on my list (and I didn't bother with Mass Effect).

Starcraft 2 and Far Cry 2 for me.

Reply to pauldh

add FarCry 2 to my list! I never played the original FarCry, but it looked really fun and FarCry2 looks awesome.

Reply to tallguy1618

I really enjoyed Far Cry, but am not looking forward to Far Cry 2 at all. It looks dire! All the screenshots and videos I've seen scream mediocre console shooter, and while the open ended concept sounds good, I have my doubts about how well it will actually work in practice.

Love it or hate it, the "sequel" to Far Cry was Crysis and was created by the same people. Far Cry 2 is nothing like Far Cry and has nothing to do with it, Ubi just own the name and are using it to market another one of their consoley shooters.

I know you meant Far Cry 2.

As for me you didn't truly list the one I am very anxious to see. Half lIfe 2 Episode 3. Its the end of the HL2 story arc and I can't wait to see how they play it off especially since they tie Portal into it.

Let's see, Blizzard's release date, ( unknown + the square root of pie (blueberry or lemon) x the speed of light ) / ( battle chest x more pie ) = #DIV/0!

@ lol lego batman, those lego games are pretty fun.
