    http://pc.ign.com/articles/911/911745p1.html - Note, Plenty of AAA titles!

    Must-Buy's: (for me)
    - Far Cry 2
    - Mirror's Edge
    - Fallout 3

    Maybe's: (for me)
    - Call of Duty: World at War (If Treyarch doesn't screw it up)
    - Red Alert 3 (if it can de-throne coh & dow, maybe)
    - Left 4 Dead (also not my kind of game, but the co-op sounds badass)

    Already released:
    -Mercenaries 2 (very disappointing, but looks like brainless fun)
    - Spore (hit or miss type game with me)

    geez, and I still haven't finished Half-Life 2 (or ep.1,2), TES4Oblivion (main story), or purchased Crysis, Crysis Warhead or Mass effect.

    Have I missed anything? ;)

    EDIT: - Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway looks very, disappointing.

    Looks like you do a little RTS here and there. Sins of a Solar Empire maybe?

    Fallout 3 - Already preordered :)

    Dead Space - Here's to hoping its Resident Evil 4 calibur of a thrill shooter

    Rise of the Argonauts - Action RPG with a new greek legend? SOLD

    Mirror's Edge - It depends on how well they pull it off. Potential is very high though

    I stopped by EBGames today to put a pre-order deposit on the Starcraft 2 CE. Well it turns out CE isn't showing on their computer even though it's listed on the website AND the vanilla edition is not being released until tentatively February '09 now. Originally it was going to be December 3 this year!

    Lol, of course. Blizzard is smart enough to release a game when it's totally ready. Unlike most MMOs these days...

    starcraft 2 can take as much time as it needs, I want that game to be perfect when we finally get it.

    otherwise must gets for me includes
    far cry 2
    fallout 3, <-- I think you almost have to get this game if you're getting far cry, very similar open world concepts just with more rpg elements and an post apocalyptic theme .
    Left 4 dead <-- this is gonna replace call of duty 4 for me!
