Default Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?

My current wait list isn't particularly long.

Dom 3 (the happiest expectation on the list, of course).

Civ 4 (technically, I'm waiting for a chance to read an in-depth review of the finished product before springing for this. Likely to be my next actual buy if the reviews are good, but I'm not jumping on it. I liked Civ 3 far less than Civ 2.)

Sim Golf 2 (not a chance--about 1% on the "which old game to redo" poll at Firaxis.) web page

Colonization 2 (second place in the "which old game to redo" poll at Firaxis, at 31%.)

Master of Orion 4 (given what happened to MOO3, not likely any time soon--I really hope MOO3 has not sunk the frachise.)

Xenocide (current fan development of the classic game, UFO Defense, total vaporware for the forseeable future, IMO.) web page

Skaven mod for Civ3 (currently under development on CivFanatic site). web page

Actually, I haven't been doing a lot of looking recently, and own far more computer games than I have mastered.

I'm still looking for a more satisfying 4x space game than anything I've seen so far (MOO2 without the 7th inning stretch would be an ideal starting point, IMO. I like elements of Space Gold IV, but some of the micromanagement busywork drives me up the wall. Also, I find that universe not immersive enough; MOO2, Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Star Wars are all much more so; but all five, plus Reach for the Stars, beat Galactic Civ by a wide margin on this count.)
