    Just curious what PC game or games you are anticipating the most to come out start of 2010. I posted a poll to capture the most popular choices, but feel free to add anything else.

    Personally, I am really anticipating Aliens vs. Predator. Loved all the movies, and this one looks really good. I just hope I'm not too disappointed.

    I didn't list anything much past March 2010 because those are most likely to change, and Starcraft 2 is purposely off the list because it probably won't be out until end of 2010 it looks like. Note that you can select multiple choices.

    Poll Items:
    Aliens vs. Predator
    Assassin's Creed 2
    Battlefield 1943
    Battlefield Bad Company 2
    Bioshock 2
    Command and Conquer 4
    Just Cause 2
    Mass Effect 2
    Napoleon Total War
    Stalker: Call of Pripyat
    Star Trek Online
    Splinter Cell Conviction
    Supreme Commander 2

    Games mentioned not in the poll:
    APB All Points Bulletin
    Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising
    Star Wars The Old Republic (release date TBD)

    Bioshock 2. The first was incredible, and I'm hoping this one will be just as good.

    Star Wars Old Republic isn't slated to be released beginning of 2010. To me more than three months is too far out to anticipate an actual release date or if it will ever be in existance.

    Last I heard, SC2 is still set to be released before Q2. With Cataclysm set to be released around '10 holiday season.

    I'm trying very hard to control the urge to just play Assassin's Creed 2 for 360. I know the PC version will be superior (graphics & maybe some new features), so I need to wait until the PC version.

    Also looking forward to Supreme Commander 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Mass Effect 2.

    I'll believe it when I see it. I think 99% of people here are anticipating SC2 anyhow. I'd love for it to be out in the next couple of months, but I doubt it.

    Mass Effect 2 for sure, also Alien vs Predator. The latter should have some insane multiplayer. :)

    The only one I will be playing from that list is Splinter Cell Conviction. Maybe Napoleon Total War if it gets good reviews and is not Steam-only.

    Mass Effect 2. Definitely the top of my list, but there are SO many good games coming out Q1 of 2010. I'm also waiting for Assassin's Creed 2, and Splinter Cell: Conviction. Of course SC2 is on that list as well, but who knows when that's coming out :rolleyes:

    Yeah, DOW2 Mark of Chaos seems quite popular. However, people who have already voted won't be able to vote again, will they? I didn't think an expansion should have been considered, but apparently it's quite popular.

    I guess that and APB (All Points Bulletin) should be added. I'll scour the posts and maybe Chaz can you at least add a few votes for those that mentioned it.

    edit: I read 1 vote APB and 4 votes DoW II: Mark of Chaos. I would take 5 out of "other" and put them in those categories. Others can speak up if they haven't already mentioned it earlier in this thread and voted these two in the "Other" category.

    1. - Battlefield - Bad Company 2. xD
    Been waiting for a game that can finally take over for BF2.

    2. - C&C 4 - Tiberium Twilight
    Its a small chance the game will fail but it may also rise to greatness. xD

    3. - Mass Effect 2
    THe first Mass Effect was awesome, but lacked graphic details thanks to being a pure Xbox 360 port.
    (Maybe its a chance they will release a PS3 version?)
