Out of these, only two games really interest me: UT2007 and Oblivion.

Furthermore I am waiting for:

- Dreamfall
- Runaway 2
- Gothic 3
- Stalker

And hoping for (sometimes in vain)

- Thief 4
- Homeworld 3
- Fahrenheit 2
- Sequels for Tex Murphy and Gabriel Knight
- a really good spacefight sim

I removed STALKER from the 2006 list coz i got delayed till 2007 together with Supreme Commander, sigh.

out of the titles listed i await :

Hellgate
Prey
Quake Wars
Alan Wake
UT2007

thats it... I will only get Oblivion after a while... dont have +50 hours of game time to play that game...

[Bass]

Aaarghhhh - nooo Useless - I was so looking forward to Supreme Commander !! (have already started prepping all the guys here ..)

[Sabre]

Top of my list of what to expect is Ghost Recon 3, the original GR was way ahead of it's time when it came out and most importantly it has a co-op mode!!

[rainy]

What, Stalker has been delayed again???

[Ruslan74]

yip, i will try to find THQ's financial year reports in which they mention delays in STALKER and Supreme Commander... and i was also eager for these two titles.

dang...

@Sabre - Ghost Recon 3 looks sweet... though i am scared it may have been bumbed down due to its console affiliation...

[fivel]

What, Stalker has been delayed again???

Yep STALKER into 2007...

@Useless...bumbed down...does that mean they've arsed it up :eek:

[Scooby_Doo16]

I want NWN2... iloved the 1st 1

[Ruslan74]

@Fivel - dumbed down in control terms, you noticed in CoD2 how you would approach a small wall and you get the JUMP cursor or when grenades drop next to you and another cursor pops up? Thats kinda dumbed down.

Not in graphical terms though since the X360 runs on a souped up X1800... :p

[doobiwan]

Ahem, that's a souped up x1900XTX for your information - 48 pipes . . . ;)

[Ruslan74]

thanks doobi, no wonder the thing overheats! :D

*runs for cover*

[doobiwan]

Well if you can afford the R6k, I'm sure you could afford the additional air conditioning unit . . .

[Ruslan74]

me thinks to wait for the Revolution, and by then the X360 might have some exclusive titles worth buying...

[doobiwan]

Totally. I just wish they'd release more information on the darn Revolution already! Or better yet, release the darn Revolution!
