since 2004 the rumors I usually hear about incomplete games... games with lack of something or promise things that never manage to get seen by the people is increasing... not to mention buggy and troublesome products... also affecting hardware

for every... ellipsis... you use... you look... that much more... like a tool...

:roll: christ

Sorry, back ON topic: It looks quite slow this year. Starcraft 2 is the only game I'm really looking forward to, but I don't see it being a huge change from the first so I don't think it'll wow me. Plus I thought Spore was pushed back to 2009 ?

September 2008. ;)

I'm looking forward to Mass Effect, Stalker: Clear Skies, GTA4, and Fallout 3.

I've been playing GTA3: San Andreas again to pass the time. I bought Penumbra, but can't get into it...

It's going to be tough to beat 2007?s rich selection, especially for FPSes.

I'm personally hoping Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2 will make it this year. :thumbsup:

Contact the owner of that site, I have nothing to do with it (other than posting a link to it).

oh ya... but dont believe what they say about gw2 in anyway they say lol...

I know people want gw2 so badly like the writer of this site list... but making games takes too much time... mmo takes around 3 years if you know what you up too... if you start a bit lose and unfocus, then 4 or 5 years...

gw2 first word was in 2007 and they probably start working on it after the release of gwen...

now if they start in 2007, and it a scratch game from the ground... you can expect the 3 years of development... that means 3 years... = 2010...

lol bunch of guild wars fans are so desperate, and they grasp each day to have gw2 right now in their hands...

you arent a desperate... right...???

oh by the way... they forget to add AION... to the 2008 list...

and CoH: OF is a 2007 expansion from a 2006 game... but in general CoH: OF is a standalone.. so is a 2007 game.... and medieval II kingdoms is a 2007 expansion...

and the GW expansion is a 2007 also ... omg...

oh one other thing.. the expansion of oblivion i think is 2007... the original game is 2006... if i am not wrong...

those other details I notice....

Been a weak year for PC gaming. Unfortunately the consoles are the focus now. PCs will prevail, but until GTA4 is on the PC I will just have to keep playing it on my 360. A decent flight sim and another Freespace game would be freaking awesome!

lol at Dragonball online. Raiding will take 12 hours per night because of the amount of time it takes to charge up and channel each attack.

Its a good time to go back and play other games that you haven't had time to complete or even play. I know that I'm starting Diablo 2 back up just to kill some time before another major release comes out onto the doorstep.
