    UO (the expansion to CoD1) had vehicles in multiplayer on larger maps (like mp_foy or the rhine). Just jeeps, tanks and heavy tanks. The physics for them were almost non-existent which led to some awkward and funny moments.

    Gears of War on the Xbox 360 looks great. It is definitely one of the better graphical games of the next-gen consoles. However, if you take out all the bloom they used....which I'm sure will be present in UT3 as well since it's the same engine...I hope not, though....then it doesn't look as good. By a different way...I can't image what they are talking about...

    I was really interested in the game when they first announced it. Now, it just looks like a rental to me.

    Ah I see. That's cool. I used to play CoD2 a lot...big fan of the MP44 and Thompson in both CoD2 and CoD3.

    ^^^ Spider, I appreciate the release dates!

    It is possible that they could release a demo after the game has come out. Some companies have done that before.

    I did in my original post!

    Great post. Yeah, Starcraft really holds up well for its age, considering just HOW long ago it came out. I was there at the beginning so it's neat to see its growth. But I've always wondered what it's like for those who didn't play it until years later what they think of it. Are they not going to like it just because of the graphics? Or can they still get into it as much as we did?

    Heh, believe me, I used to be a huge fan of DNF. But after waiting for about 7 yrs, I gave up on it. I mean, that thing was supposed to come out before Starcraft ONE! Lol, ok maybe not quite that long ago...

    What can I do, can't put 'em all up there. I just listed my top 10 most-anticipated and am depending on others to fill in others. I'm not as into Crysis as others and I didn't know much about Assassin's Creed.

    Holy crap, now that's a list, good job!
