Microsoft has one MGS published game on that list and it's a compilation pack of their casual game series. Pathetic-if the platform is still large and awesome then I can't help but wonder why they are so incredibly indifferent to it. I think the only original PC game that Microsoft has in development is the next Train Simulator game. Compare this to EA, THQ, Activision, Ubisoft, or hell even the scrub publishers like Atari, many of which have significant PC exclusive projects.

I'd be more excited for Borderlands if I was convinced Gearbox could get it out the door before I start collecting social security checks. They've got a ridiculous number of projects in development right now.

Dawn of War II is probably one of my most anticipated PC game, that's for sure.

I don't think there is any company so focused on advancing the RTS genre like Relic is. They get a rap from the Blizzboys because their games aren't as well balanced as Blizzard's games are, but I don't care because it means that I don't have to play a game that feels like (or is!) over a decade old.

MS usually outsource their console to pc ports, like gears, halo or viva pinata.

so i don't think they can do it simultaneously, especially with how slow their developers are (rare and lionhead for example.)

More anticipated then SC2, WOTLK, Dragon Age and WAR frag?


Edit: I read MOST but it was one of the most. Damn. Damn.

I'm only mildly interested in SC2-I will enjoy the scripted campaign and have some fun playing with people I know in multiplayer, but at heart it is probably going to be an e-sport RTS, and I'm too old to compete in those like I can in something more methodical.

Lich King is more of the same. I'll level my warrior to 70, goof around for a week or two, then cancel-assuming it comes out before WAR, if it doesn't there's a good chance I won't play it until well into next year.

WAR is going to be awesome, but it seems to be really Dark Age of Camelot 2 and I'll probably only play it when my wife is playing it.

Dragon Age is Bioware, who have shown stunningly weak work in Mass Effect in some (IMO) core CRPG areas. I am hopeful that they won't put 95% of the effort into the story and leave the actual mechanics to college interns like they did with ME.
