What upcoming games are you looking forward to?

The Godfather 2
Its going to be the best
 
I really hate this time of year for new game releases. GTA IV for PC, Left 4 Dead, the Mines of Moria expansion for LotR Online and Football Manager 2009 all come out within a week of each other.

Too mean :(

So I guess we won't be getting an update for your AAR for a long time :p
 
I hope that it will be atleast as good as the first one. Looks promising so far.

IMHO it sounds alot better than Godfather 1. And I liked Godfather 1. The main difference is its more of your the don and making all the moves instead of work your way up to the don like in godfather 1
 
Just looked through my latest Game Informer mag and Dragon Age: Origins has me stoked with about 5 to 6 pages of awesome potential. I trust Bioware pretty good. I guess chalk it up on my list too.

Dragon Age is off the list if EA sticks with that DRM.
What's DRM? (I guessed at Dungeon Runner Method)
 
Mortal Kombat vs. DCU

I'm not a MK fanboy so I have no problems with the "dilution" of the MK formula.
 
Empire total war. Best strategic game ever IHMO.

Digital Rights Management. Security policies against piracy.

Shamus Young's Blog (Mass Effect)

That comic said it all. And you can link to a lot of other articles from that page above. Shamus also has posts about DRM in BioShock and Spore.

You can also read a lot about DRM on BioShock's and Spore's official forums, if the threads haven't been all closed, deleted or locked up already.


I recently bought Sacred 2 without knowing it also has a 2-activation limit. I'll never buy from Ascaron from now on. That was an extraordinarily stupid move - seeing the backlash in Spore's case, and that Sacred is a game just like Diablo - the core value is to play online in closed servers. DRM won't do anything good here - it will only annoy customers.

I enjoy Total War games more for the synthesis of tactics and strategy. Being able to manage naval battles instead of autoresolving will be one of the best parts about ETW. That, and I want to outdo Friedrich II at his own game. :p
 
The game of my life.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to sneering at the Spore expansions, picking Fallout3 up on discount, and not buying anything for awhile until it's earned a GOTY award from Gamespot, et al. :)
 
My new list:

NHL 09 - October 20
Call of Duty: World at War - November 11
Grand Theft Auto IV (PC Version) - November 20
Hearts of Iron III - Q3 2009

Stealing a bit from Subikins;

Hearts of Iron III - Q3 2009
Half-Life 2: Episode 3 - Sometime
Portal 2 - Sometime
Empire: Total War Gold (aka with the likely expansion and patches), probably in 2010. And that way it will be closer to when the mods needed to fix the game will be nearing a decent release state, at least once I get tired of vanilla.
Mafia 2
Godfather 2 maybe in a couple of years, the first one was a good deal for $10.
Darkfall (well, keeping an eye on it, I'm going to try it, though I am not a fan of renting the game I'm playing (hate subscriptions).


Other than that, I don't know of any other games I am looking forward too that are being released this year.
 
Singularity
Saboteur
Street Fighter IV
Battlefront 3
Alpha Protocol
Borderlands
 
Empire: Total War - March
Starcraft 2 - ?
Half-Life 2 Episode 3 - ?
Portal 2 - ?
More Team Fortress 2 updates (not really separate game) - ?
Battlefront 3 - ?

Conclusion: gimme some release dates pls
 
Valve seems to like taking their time. Considering they are currently working on HL2:Ep3 and Portal 2, perhaps they are working on some other games to release some sort of new Orange Box type deal?
 
Well, I don´t buy new games, but I look forward to play these games when they get older:

* Empire Total War
* Aliens: Colonial Marines
* Hearts of Iron 3
