1. Dom 3: Surprise! Someone is waiting for Dom 3

2. Spore: Sounds to good to be true.

3. Supreme Commander: As a huge fan of Total Annihilation, this one is a must. I still hope it will be released this year.

4. Oblivion: I played Morrowwind and Daggerfall, but somehow those two did not manage to capture me. I hope that the newest member of the Elderscroll family is more than just a hype.

5. Medieval 2 Total War: I love the first Medieval Total War game, and I hope that the second part will be even better.

I have the same list as you. 3 being VERY important to me as I just love Total Annihilation. Never played Morrowind or any Elderscroll games so don't anticipate Oblivion that much.
5 is a bit Iffy since it's just recently announced. Gotta be carefull with it because Rome was VERY buggy.

I agree. I didn't like Rome that much, so I hope Medieval 2 goes back to the roots of the series

I don't know if I'm going to buy them, but I read a bunch on wonderful reviews of various Japanese/Chinese RPGs. The way the reviewer had examined them, the things he wanted in a game, the things he had FOUND in the games made them sound great. The fact that he put in the bad things as well made it that much more believable.

Besides the D!!!, I'd like to find Planescape: Torment somewhere. I'll wait until Spore has been reviewed, as it might be just boring. If it is fun besides the creating part, I'll probably buy it.

I tried Daggerfall a little, didn't like it. I tried Morrowind, didn't like it. I think I'll pass Oblivion. In fact, I don't know of any computer RPG that would emphasize the story over graphics, and party over one farmer that grows to be the superhero. I haven't looked around for the ones coming, though.

Rome was good, but the mod Total Realism was awesome. 10x better then the vanilla imho.

1. Company of Heros - Can't believe no one mentioned this.
2. TW:M2
3. Supreme Commander
4. Spore
5. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (I hate non-realistic shooters, but this looks damn good)
6. Madden 2007 360
7. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
8. Huxley
9. Paraworld
10. Titans Quest (think thats the name)

I think Dom III goes without saying.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned Sumo Strip Poker.

I thought more people on this forum would be following it. Close Combat aimed to bring Wargaming real time, and was the first game I am aware of that attempted to model how soldiers would react to orders. Until that point, every game featured robot soliders that blindly followed orders.

Since then a few games have attempted it, but for the most part, the player-end AI is still the same. I have been impressed with every Relic game since Homeworld, and makes me think that all the hoopla over CoH is more then hype.

We just may get a RTT that plays as well as it looks.

Yes, how could I forget those two?
Enemy Territory is one of the best multiplayer shooters out there. Even though it's free, it can compete with BF2 and the likes. I have high expectations for the second part of the series. Same goes for Company of heroes... even though I would like some badass nazi Dreadnoughts

May i ask what you disliked about RTW?
I found RTW a major improvement over the old Shogun/Medieval system.

The new province system with traveling armies is imho better than the old system Medieval and Shogun had and RTW was the first of the total war games with really good graphics.
Finally RTW had more modding possibilities and was easier to mod than Medieval.

So what was better in Medieval than in Rome in your opinion?

For me it has been the other way round, though i liked Medieval i think RTW was better, i liked RTWs new features like the new Province Map

[shovah]

i like RTW aswell although one thing i would have liked is the ability to constuct my own (not major like rome ect) cities
