    I thought Bioshock was coming out in August... has the date changed to September? That's the only game with a *summer* release date I was looking forward to.

    I'll vote Unreal Tournament 3 and Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway.

    I'll also reserve to vote for other games until I get to this years E3.

    I agree on that, the graphics are much better, and the physics engine has improved much so. Everything is destructible, and when you get out of the plane to parachute, you can land ANYWHERE. ^_^

    I have DiRT right now and it is amazing. I have it for 360, but i think it's the same thing if you have a 360 controller for your pc. Its really the best racing game out there! Its got the cool cars of need for speed, but the damage type thing from Burnout. Also, you can customize and tweak all the parts on your car if you are experienced at racing games like the gt series. I highly recommend this game

    Yeah, Bioshock is gonna be one hell of a game. After seeing all the material available on it...it's easy to see there is NO chance that the game will flop. I just hope they don't put so much emphasis in dealing with Big Daddies.....

    Think I saw something which said it was expected in September, but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me. ;)

    Another vote here for COD4 too, as well as Medal of Honor: Airborne.

    Ooh! I'm really looking forward to Settlers: Rise of an Empire (september this year). Ooh! I'm so excited! I can't wait I can't wait!

    Of course I'm also looking forward to Crysis (although that may be a bit too scary for me :) )

    Settlers looks amazing. I wonder if they are going to port it to Mac since Ubisofts newer titles have been with Cider, like Uru Myst or whatever its called.

    There's nothing I want coming out this summer.
    The next few games I'm waiting for are:
    Spore and Starcraft II. They won't be released for awhile though.

    quake wars is pretty cool.

    ive got the beta, which is actually slightly disappointing, but shows a LOT of potential. if they would just slow it down a hare and broaden out the equipment slightly, some creative maps and situations and a little polish could really make that game a winner.

    crysis is sort of destined to be amazing. and i have a feeling like the system requirements will be a lot wider than everyone is imagining. i think most newest gen cards - 8 series and hd 2 series - will be able to run it very very well.

    so crysis and quake wars. something else might come along eventually.
