Not many good games have/are coming out ever since the sweet November launch of some wicked games. The only games that I can think of off the top of my head that might be good (and are coming out soon) are Burnout Paradise, and Frontlines: Fuel of War (still not too sure about this one) anyway, does anyone feel the same way? I know everyone likes different types of games, and some of the games that YOU may like are coming out, but there aren't really any games coming out that have a lot of hype.

Nobody in their right mind would make a great game that they can't sell during the Christmas rush during its prime.

Any game that comes out in January will be bargain-bin by next Christmas.

I'm personally waiting for Crysis to be bargain bin, along with some better video hardware. :D

The way things are going I'll be able to buy AMD outright one day. :beer:

Long gone are the days when you could program a good PC game in less than a week.

Any month is a bad month for people who blaze through a game in 3.25 hours when it should take them 28.9654637453 hours. :)

This is why MMO's and those funky games like Solitaire, PopCap, consoles, handhelds, and other things exist to keep most of us busy until the next cool PC game is released.

Naw, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. I wish it would come to PC... or I wish they'd release Burnout 3 or Takedown for the Wii, I love these games but don't have an Xbox or PS2. Sh!t, I should buy an Xbox just for the game. :laugh:

I liked Burnout Revenge on the PS2 when I had it but I wouldn't buy another console for it.

I'm waiting for a lot of RPG type games like Dragon Age,Fallout 3,Sacred 2 and a new one that I have just found(still in the making) called Age of Decadence.

Games like Crysis,Hellgate ,UT3 etc... I'll be waiting for price drops.

but there aren't really any games coming out that have a lot of hype.

I tend to ignore hype,if I see a game that I'll like or my sort of game then I go for it ,when however depends on price and game in question....

Reviews don't always paint the real picture.
