I’m just dying for GTA 3 for PC (Out May 28) and Warcraft 3 (supposedly out in June). ---

Warcraft 3. Worlds of Warcraft. Star Wars: Galaxies. Soldier of Fortune 2. The multiplayer patch for Civ3. Gone are the days when I avidly read gaming mags and waited for games that would complete me as a person. Nowadays I just see them in Best Buy when I’m picking up my weekly DVD and say “oh hey, that looks like fun.” ---

Dude, do you realize how long a multiplayer game of Civ3 could take? :eek: ---

> [@](#): > > Dude, do you realize how long a multiplayer game of Civ3 could take? No longer than a good game of Monopoly (which can go on for days, if the players are so inclined). Anyway, games I’m waiting for… -Morrowind: I don’t know if I’m going to get this on the X-Box or for PC… it’d probably run better on the former, but, then again, I am a PC gamer at heart. -Doom 3: Hopefully it lives up to the creepiness of the first two… but in any case, iD has always given us major-kickass graphics, and I’m confident this won’t disappoint. -A sequel to StarCraft: There’s none planned at the moment (last I heard), but dammit, after Blizzard finishes their currect WC projects, they need to do this one. -Project Ego: Massive single-player RPG that sounds like it’ll replace what little real-world life I do have. ::drool:: ---

Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights are the two biggies for me. ---

Deus Ex 2. It’s a ways off, but I’ll kick a box full of kittens into a street if they’re blocking my way to the Babbages when it comes out. Fortunately I can’t think of any scenario where that would be necessary. Also, GTA 3, Medeival: Total War, and Doom 3 ---

Ooh, a Deus Ex sequel… I’d get that. Also, a Max Payne sequel (Remedy has hinted at one, don’tcha know). ---

_Black & White_, for when I finally get a better computer. Yes, I was the dumbass who bought the game and _opened_ it before looking at the minimum system requirements. ---

Yes, I was the dumbass who bought the game and _opened_ it before looking at the minimum system requirements. \*\* You probably would be better off just throwing it away and saving yourself of the frustration:) Master of Orion III Shadowbane Deus Ex 2 War3 Those are the only ones I am really looking forwards to, but I don’t really buy games right as they come out anymore. Might as well wait untill they patch it and the game is actually finished. ---

Master of Orion III, definitely. The PC Version of GTA3. Deus Ex 2 and Thief 3. I’ll be following reviews and word-of-mouth on Freelancer when it’s finally released. The control scheme makes me leery, though. Neverwinter Nights. And I’m very antsy for Morrowind to ship now that I’ve got a rig that can handle it. ---

Deus Ex 2? Call of Cthulhu? You guys are just teasing me, right? Just raising my hopes so you can laugh when they’re dashed? I’m excited about NWN and WarIII; they’re the only games coming out that I know I’ll buy.
