LBP

Gears of War 2

Fallout 3

(sweet sweet candy! if it comes out this year

)
Left 4 Dead

Spore

Fable 2

Motorstorm 2

(if it's less frustrating in the later part of the game, god I love the core racing gameplay)
Halo Wars

(if it comes out this year)

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2008, 04:17:24 PM »

Warhammer: Age of Reckoning
Civilization : Colonization
Spore (sorta, Maxis and I have always had a love/hate relationship)
World in Flames (this year? in time for christmas? PLEASE?

)
BIA: Hell's Highway
STALKER: Clear Sky
King's Bouty
Fallout 3 (sorta, Bethesda is also one of those love/hate sort of deals)
Mercenaries 2
Vainglory of Nations (make it out in 2008? Please?)
Saint's Row 2
Command Ops: Battles from the Bulge
Red Alert 3

Most of the other big RTS games got pushed back to 2009 (DoW2, SC2, Empire: Total War). But there's enough stuff to keep me busy in 2008, as usual.

You need to move to Belgium so we can all play WAR on the same server. As Tieno said most people in the Benelux speak excellent English.

I'd like to! the other problem is, of course, my wife likes living in the US due to the open spaces and most of her family is here in the states now too.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #20 on:** July 08, 2008, 04:55:26 PM »

Fire Emblem DS. I will pirate it without scruples, lol.
Viva Pinata 2 and Viva Pinata Pocket Paradise.

I'm finally gonna break down and buy an hdtv and a 360, probably in a month or so. Which means I'll explore anything on the 360 that I've missed and is worth playing.

patrickula · « **Reply #21 on:** July 08, 2008, 05:07:25 PM »

Left 4 Dead!!!
Fallout 3
Gears of War 2
STALKER: Clear Sky
Crysis: Warhead (this year right?)
LBP
Spore
Valkyria of the Battlefield (my fiancée will be playing this actually

)
I'm optimistic that Resistance 2 will be good but I'm not exactly excited.
Maybe SF4 or SC4 will be good... maybe $:-\$

Is Prototype this year? That could be good.

Honestly, I'm almost looking forward to the 2-3 planned Burnout Paradise updates as much as I am anything else this year. I'll get Gears and LBP, I'll check out L4D and Resistance 2. Other than that, looks like I might actually have some hope of hitting a bit of the backlog. I'm still only on the third episode of Sam & Max S2. :/

OMG I forgot about Siren! I think I was one of the 10 or so people who actually loved the original. Any word on a release date?

Also think I'll pick up Yakuza 2. Original was okay and I'm hoping the second will improve the shit loading. I also wouldn't mind actually paying Sega because they brought the game over instead of announcing and then dropping it, in typical Sega style.
