    I noticed that, stuff like that bugs me too, it's like people who call the touch the iTouch... whenever someone decides to call my ipod touch an "itouch" i think i stare at them like they just kicked my cat/dog, whatever.

    Sequel's I'm Hoping Will Be Done Right the Second Time!

    -GTA "5" (probably some kind of name, hope they do this one right)
    -Crysis 2

    Some people like consistency in naming, I'm one of them. I don't care what they subtitle it, the next game is (in logical ordering) Call of Duty 7. iTouch is weird, I don't understand that.

    I've been looking at Magicka for a while, but I just started to watch the trailers, it looks quite fun and chaotic.

    +1 :)

    Was looking forward to MoH but changed my mind when I played the MP beta which was horrible imo. :/ If the reviews say the SP is any good then I may reconsider..

    Same, I tried Two worlds a while ago its like a 256bit colour Oblivion.

    However, Two worlds 2 is suppose to be much better however I will believe it when I see it as the requirements says that it can be run fluently with a 256mb 8600M GT so it cant be that demanding.

    Fallout New Vegas and Kirby.

    I know, completely different stuff.

    But what I am REALLY looking forward to is the release date of the Nintendo 3DS....

    For those who are down on Fallout: New Vegas because of the location, have you ever played Fallout 2? I would say that New Vegas was probably the best-realized location in Fallout 2. There was a ton to do, the characters were interesting, and there were multiple paths that could be chosen or patchworked together (through a few glitches and some 'what he doesn't know won't hurt me'). Personally, I think it's a pretty solid idea.

    Besides, if you hate Las Vegas, what better way to feel vindicated than by exploiting its bombed-out, post-apocalyptic husk?

    Civilization V is coming out 21st September but I'm going to hold out until I have a newer laptop and after I've read a few of the reviews to see how the game pans out compared to IV.

    Fallout: New Vegas
    Call of Duty: Black Ops
    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (if it's on PC soon enough)


    Since the MP info release for Black Ops I really can't wait, the customisation looks ace.

    Picked this up for $20 on PS3 a while ago (couldn't argue with the price). I am about 80% finished now. It is quite good and I am really happy to hear it is coming to PC. PC seems to get neglected with these mythological 3rd person action games and PC gamers will like this one a lot.

    The camera is not fixed, alternate weapons are actually good and useful, upgrades allow for customization, exploration is rewarded, some boss fights are inventive and the puzzles actually had me scratch my head at least once so far. My only complaint is it feels really empty for an open world game. Of course this takes place after the apocalypse and humanity is extinct so it makes sense story wise, but after playing AC, AC2 and inFamous, I kind of got used to a world full of life and busy people everywhere. Although it's not really as open world as those other games but it sort of tries to be.
