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.)

Played it. Going to buy it soon. Seems a mite better than its predecessors, with more multiplayer goodness. Minor improvements, a few even less significant design mistakes, good stuff.

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

Pshaw. Stardock had a poll like this, and I don't see them making Master of Magic 2. Nor even a proper StarCon III.

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

Oh, it's sunk. And none have shed more tears than I.

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

You pretty much said it. You're waiting for a lot of games that aren't going to happen, ain'tcha? Can't say I don't sympathize. X-Com was right up there with MoM, MoO, and StarCon II.

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

Heard of Mark of Chaos? The gaming industry being what it is, I imagine it'll turn about to be just another mindless, soulless by-the-number RTS. Then again, there's always the possiblity of another Dark Omen or, better yet, Shadow of the Horned Rat. Worst case scenario, those are some high-res stormvermin, aren't they? Gotta love the skaven.
