I never played the original Privateer (although I think I have it), played a little Privateer 2 though and really enjoyed it.

Tie Fighter was my first computer game ever, very fond memories (course, I sucked and had to use the invincibility code that let you fly through other ships).

Agreed. Jane's USAF was amazing.

Portal, which I'm sure they will release at some point.

A lot of people didn't seem to like The Darkening as much, but I thought it was damn fine, especially with Clive Owen's acting in it.

There were a few things I didnt care for in HOMM V but not enough to make it game breaking. I just dont want it to take another 5 years to get a new one. I am one of the few that loved HOMM 3 in that the hero's were part of the unit and fought with your troops like your units do. Not only that but you could have more than one hero in your troop. Also you could just buy single units and have them explore the map for you without a hero which was a cool spying tactic.

Did you know that Nexus: The Jupiter Incident was a spiritual successor to Imperium Gallactica 2? Well, it was originally named Imperium Gallactica 3, then it got dropped and picked up and dropped and picked up again. It went through a lot of tribulation.

I think you meant HOMM 4 ;) 5 was kinda nice, done by Nival (I quite liked Etherlords).

I want a new Tex Murphy game, and a new Wing Commander game. A new Mech Warrior game would be pretty bad-ass as well.

I always liked Space Quest too, so I would love to see a new one of those as well.

I would love a new one of these as well! I wouldn't mind just a remake of the original with modern graphics.

11th Hour was the sequel to 7th Guest, but that is pretty old as well. It also doesn't leave much room for a true sequel as the house (and Faust) is destroyed at the end.

Magic Carpet 3 ... what a freakin' awesome game with an amazing control system. Tossing my first volcano spell onto a hapless desert city was just gaming nirvana. I wish they would issue an update to that to offer updated graphics and more /larger worlds to explore.

My bad. You are right.

A true sequel to KOTOR, not the rushed junk that was KOTOR 2 or a KOTOR MMO.

My only agrument to this was that I never got to play the first Kotor and have only played Kotor 2. I have heard that the story wasnt as good but I really loved that game. I really dont understand what is supposed to happen when Kotor mmo hits and they have SWG and Kotor online?

Well KOTOR 2 ends abruptly because they ran out of time, and it was incredibly buggy upon its first release (especially for XBox). Otherwise it did have many aspects of gameplay that improve upon KOTOR 1. Its just that those downsides generally weighed down the ups.

A new Syndicate would be great, with the turn based strategy and story it was really fun. It just needs updated graphics, and a good physics engine. I wish they would make a sequel.
