Has something awesome just been announced?
Are you aching to blab to someone about your most anticipated game?

Well, do it here. Maybe you'll get some unknown upcoming gems on other people's radar!

I guess you could treat this as a "Recently Anticipated", but that s**t is lame. Seriously.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

You're not going to f**king believe me, but ... I actually want to play a Halo Wars ... on computer, of course.

I think Halo would be much better suited to the RTS genre than FPS. And it's also being made by Ensemble Studios!

I forgot to slap up mine.

Contra 4: So manly, it'll get your girlfriend pregnant.
Assassin's Creed (PC): Their cop-out response to releasing a demo makes me weary.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Seriously, there's a level editor now? Stop it, this game will ruin my life.
also Bionic Commando and Street Fighter IV, I don't even know what it looks like and I already want it.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I for one am looking forward to World in Conflict, looks like a ton of fun. Starcraft 2 should be good as well.

But most of all I'm looking forward to the end of exams so I can get a new machine and play all these games I've missed (ep2 and portals to start with).

I guess all the bigger games these days are hyped to a point where it's impossible for them to stay under people's radar. And the alternative underground games usually aren't publicly announced until they're out.

So here's my hyped-out list of games I look forward to:

Assasin's creed: Awesome crowd-scenes and freedom of movement. I'm just afraid the PC will be treated as a second-rate platform again.
FarCry 2: Looks almost better than Crysis. I just hope they won't go overboard with the "realism"
Spore: Never before has the word "procedural" been used so often to describe a game. I love games that give you total freedom.
GTA4: It's GTA4!
Crysis: It's not out yet, remember!

I'm looking forward to Assassin's creed and Spore as well, and i just recently discovered this cyber-viking melee/ranged weapon game.

Looks pretty sweet.

I wanted fury too, but I'm tired of mmorpg's, even if it's supposed to be revolutionary and all that stuff, still looks like a somewhat fun game, as opposed to the grindfest that is other mmo's.

Assassin's Creed for PC isn't coming out until like March of '08. They're doing that to optimize and tweak it.

Can't say there are any really new games that I'm looking forward to, other than of course StarCraft 2 and Left 4 Dead (oh hell yes!)

I am, however, greatly anticipating the "walking patch" for EVE Online that was originally scheduled to launch in November, dunno if they've changed the date or not. I'm also looking forward to snagging a copy of the original Duke 3D for the PC. As of right now, the only full versions of the game I have are for the Sega Saturn and N64.

L4D, of course! I almost forgot.

This reminds me of a similar Valve Co-Project... "The Crossing" It's quite a unique style of gameplay according to trailers. Never fully understood the concept, though.

Well in all honesty the only game I genuinely wait for every time (bar HL updates!) is Civilization. And number 5 hasn't been announced yet!

Operation Flashpoint 2 (whatever is happening to it) could be interesting too!

Starcraft 2, MGS4, Left4Dead, Spore, The Force Unleashed. Nothing else has really caught my eye.

When will Spore be out? Definitely will get it when it is.

Ep3 and whatever Valve makes next is all I care about.

Good god that game sucks. After playing it and WoW I've given up on MMOs ever being good for at least the next decade. My dream of the 'ultimate game' (mmo fps/sim, basically X-Wing and Jedi Knight mashed together on a persistent world) is dead, and apparently justifiably so.
