I got to say, i've not seen so many great looking PC games I can look forward to! Some are very short trailers but none the less look very interesting... Its just annoying that most seem to be penned in to be released next year :(

Anyway, here area few of them;

Oh man I am so looking forward to some of these games. I love the pre-Star Wars films books and games, everything is so fascinating! Yay Jedi!

Portal 2 looks worth a look too. Didn't reckon they'd try to do another one, considering how unique the first was.

Portal 2 looks insane. Can't wait!

Yea, Im really looking forward to a few games atm.

Rage which is from Id, I love doom 3 and quake 4 which are their most recent games so I expect a lot from rage.

Black mesa, A remake of the original Half life game. Here (http://blackmesasource.com/) is the site... they have been doing it for ages, so I hope they will eventually release it!

Half life 2 Episode 3, I loved all the Half life 2 games so far, always so different and interesting with interesting story lines and twists. Some of the best well rounded games I have played.

Portal 2, because the first one was just immense!

The old republic (star wars), its an mmorpg, which im not too fussed about as they take over your life... But if it is playable for cheap, and has a story line, and doesnt need you to play with 8 idiots to get anywhere then I might be tempted.

Bad company 2 Vietnam, Because im loving the current game a LOT!

Im sure there are others, but for me the up and coming games look just fab!

Gah, trying to download the Portal demo off Steam and it just won't let me! Enfuriating, I haven't played the game in ages, I need a mind-bending fix!

Some games I am looking forward to:

Homefront: Looks like it could be a lot of fun

Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood: More than one assassin. Cracking.

Medal of Honor: Because it's been too long since the last MoH game. But how will it fare against the mighty CoD:MW?

Call of Duty:Black Ops: Interesting idea they had for this, I really like the concept, just see how well they pull it off, considering Treyarch have done nothing but WW2 with the franchise...

TBH MoH should be good. Its Dice doing the multiplayer and I think that Bad company 2 (Dice's most recent game) has a much better multiplayer than MW1/2...

Well personally I don't judge a game by it's multiplayer capabilities, I judge it on how well it deals with me playing as an individual on my own, how well written the storyline is etc. It's one of the reasons I love Modern Warfare 2 so much, the story was totally encapsulating and sucked you in.

Yet to feel the same way about a character or story from a MoH game, although they have all been based in WW2, so a little hard to directly relate, although Band of Brothers did a cracking job for me...

I'm thinking The Old Republic might be the MMO to wean me away from Warcraft, but there's the Cataclysm expac coming out for that soon(tm), so I shall stick with WoW for a little while longer at least

Jamesy D, if you like story line then id advise trying the Half life series. :)

I wish they would bring Star Wars out for the seXbox as well.

Stuff I'm looking forward to:

Halo Reach: No need to explain... it's Halo, so it's guna pwn everything.
MoH: Looks good. Hoping it can beat CoD
Nintendo 3DS looks like it could be really good.
Rage: Again, nowt needs to be said.

Naughty Bear looks immene fun too, as does the new Transformers game.

Not too sure what I think about Kinect. It's obviously a bloody good idea and they can pull it off, but I don't think it excites me that much. We'll see.

Xbox will never get a MMORPG of any calibre, simply because Microsoft lock it down too much. Just have to sort out a PC to play star wars, much better exp imo anyway. :)

Halo: Combat Evolved was an excellent game, Halo 2 was good but too short, Halo 3 was OK and criminally short, and ODST fun but again short. A big budget game like that should be 7+ hours (like the first one) at normal setting, not 3 hours... I know films that are longer. Ill wait and see if Reach is again seriously lacking in single player length before paying good monies. People do say that Halo 3 online is great, but ill be honest I had nothing but bad experiences. Used to love playing Halo 1/2 in 16 player lan games :D

Campaign length on Halo 3 was pretty decent I thought. I suppose it all depends what difficulty you try to do it on, I did it on Heroic and it took a fair while. Legendary is summat else, though. Online is where it's at for Halo 3.

I didn't buy ODST since everyone slated it and I wasn't gonna spend £40 just so TI could play the Reach BETA for a month.

I only play online on the PC now, free to play and usually free content (MW2 being the odd one out) and I just like it more, plus less ****'s on there as a general rule so Halo isnt for me. Bad Company 2 is great online game, one the best I've played and by far the best 'realistic' war game. :)

You say that Halo 3 is reasonable, but Im sure its about half as long as the original game, even if you play it on a harder setting. Im pretty sure I played it on heroic as playing it on normal was like splatting any with a hammer... ha ha. I guess over all Halo 3 just didnt have the Aww factor of the 1st game.

Here is a great summary that I agree with :)

You're right Halo 3 didn't have the same sort of wow factor as Combat Evolved, which was just brilliant.

Halo 3's success is down the first two games and the fact that online multiplayer has really taken off now.

Bungie reckon they've brought back the wow factor of Combat Evolved with Reach and it's the last game in the series, so they're bound to go out with a bang. Personally I'm a massive fan of Halo and can't wait for it.

I get what you mean about the knob heads. On Xbox there seems to be slightly more whiney American kids on COD, hence I didn't buy the last one and got BF: BC2 instead, which like you say is the best war time game out there at the moment.

Just incase it didn't come across like I meant it to. I do like the Halo series, I just feel that Bungie got a little complacent and well lazy after the first one. Fingers crossed you are right about Reach but I think ill wait and see. One thing though, was that the seeing the Halo in the first one then getting to run round it was one of the coolest bits, not sure how they can do that again on reach since there is no ring. :p We'll see :)

Quite frankly I can't wait for HALO: Reach. The video had me hooked instantly.

Don't like the way Microsoft are withholding the Halo games from PC, and that you had to buy vista to play Halo 2. Vista sucked.

Be interesting to see what Bungie and Activision come up with in the near future...
