Spore set for September 7!
Mass Effect PC in May!

Hmm, Im not sure we need a new Skate game would be good, I mean, maybe wait a couple of years because I don't think you could really improve on the game well enough to warrent people buying it like the other sport games every year.

[Raveness]

The only titles that I'm interested in from that list are KOTOR 3 and Mass Effect for PC, and maybe Spore.

EA for smeg, hooray for Bioware!

[Morry]

I'm quite keen on LOTR: The White Council. Assuming the LOTR title is the same title that was suspended last year, it could turn out to be a decent competitor for The Elder Scrolls series, in a genre that really only has TES and Gothic.

- Burnout: I like Burnout, one of the few race games I'll play, but we need a break from them soon I think, before it turns into that "oh another Burn out..big deal theres like 5 a year of those, pff"

- Skate: Never played it, no desire to play any sequal.

- Need for Speed: Great, another NFS, big freaking whoop, the series bored me to tears after the third.

- Rock Band: As enjoyable as people make this and Guitar Hero out to be, I really object to it as whole, for gods sake, there is gonna me so many children and teens out there, trying to get the perfect score on a game like this, when if they applied the same effort to the real thing they could make something creative with their time.

- SimCity Creator
- SimAnimals
- The Sims: Don't much care for the sims games, to much micro managment with no real pay off, I'm waiting for one where I can create a city and destroy it with such awsome effects as say, Day After Tomorrow, or one that deals with mature subject matter, and not just "Prepare for Sim number 1's party"


- EA Sports (5 games): One word: Yawn.


- Godfather: Another? I thought they did the entire story in the first game, but I never played it so I could be wrong, I'm only half interested in this one, never played the first, not much of a desire to, I prefer the Mafia game.

- Lord of the Rings: I'd give an opinion on this one if I could find some information on it to form a friggin opinion.

- Knights of the Old Republic! (by Bioware): Fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap....fap. If you can't tell, I'm really looking forward to this one, I love Kotor 1, and I love what Kotor 2 TRYED to be, lets hope 3 is truly Fap worthy.


- Red Alert 3!: Never was into the Red Alerts, or Command and Conquers, or any of that. But I'll keep a partial eye on it.

Yeah. I cannot imagine what they can do to improve their last Skate.
I have the game, and lemme tell you, it was a lot of fun.

But not much replay I guess.

Hooray for EA ...

Battlefield Heroes is a Download 4 Free and Play 4 free cartoon shooter.

[AlianAnt]

Best. Trailer. Ever. Hands freakin' down.

Anyways, I can't wait. I just gotta hope that the ads aren't too anal, and that this GeForce FX 5500 can somehow suck it up and take it.
