I played a demo version of Dragon Quest (the franchise formerly known in America as Dragon Warrior) VIII. They had to get a heavy duty vacuum to get my drool out of the carpet. ---

I can’t believe I forgot that one, since there are so few RPGs coming out these days that aren’t MMO. 11.22.05, and agreed on the anticipation! ---

I’m most excited for SOCOM III for the PS2. However, it can wait for the moment until I get an ISP at my home that is fast enough for online play. I haven’t been able to play SOCOM II since I moved in August and it’s driving me crazy. ---

Civ 4, of course, despite the disappointment that was Civ 3. The biggest one I’m waiting for is the sequel to Europa 1400: The Guild, despite the disappointment that was the company’s support of the first. Call me a sucker. ---

> [@FilmGeek](#): > > -World of Warcraft Expansion (someday) Oh, that’s a shame…us City of Heroes players already have five expansions. Have fun with you little swords. 😃 On a more serious note, I am looking forward to: City of Villians (how I will play this AND CoH at the same time I have no idea) Zelda: The Twilight Pricness (need a Gamecube first…) Civ IV (never played III, so we’ll see what this brings) Dungeons and Dragons MMORPG (I don’t klnow muich about it, even when it’s getting released, but I’ll probably but it and see what it’s about (actually, I’ll probably try to get in on the beta to see what it’s about.) ---

> [@lno](#): > > Civ 4, of course, despite the disappointment that was Civ 3. What was wrong with Civ III? My only problem is that on easy levels, it’s too difficult for the cpu to attack you; at higher levels, the CPU is always attacking. That gets a little annoying. Other than nice graphics, it’s not much different than Civ II, and, imo, it’s a bit more nuanced.
