    So what are you looking forward to now that Bioshock's out and over with?

    Hellgate London: October 30
    Tabula Rasa: November 2
    Crysis: November 16

    It seems November will be a good month.

    Incidentally, I just finished NWN2 and MotB.

    Never played Oblivion (why don't they have a demo!?) - worth getting?

    Here's a few I'm looking forward to: ;)
    FlatOut: Head On (1 November) (not sure if it's coming for PC or not)
    Call of Duty 4 (5 November)
    BlackSite: Area 51 (5 November)
    F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate (6 November)
    Gears of War (6 November)
    Empire Earth III (6 November)
    Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back (13 November)
    Need for Speed: Pro Street (13 November)
    Crysis (15 November)
    Assassin's Creed (16 November)
    Unreal Tournament 3 (19 November)
    Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (20 November)

    I like Oblivion but I lost my saves after finishing the original game (can't be bothered playing it again) so I'm not going to get the expansions. :(

    Yeah november is the big month. Don't think as many big games are coming out in December.

    From that list mainly just gears and crysis since I'm not a fan of UT. Kane & Lynch is somewhat promising. Hope you know pc version of Assassin's Creed is not till 2008.

    Hey thanks for telling me about Assassin's Creed coz I didn't know they delayed it... :( Oh well, I guess it's not too bad since there are so many games coming out in less than 4 weeks time. :rolleyes: :D

    The Witcher is coming out right about now too. If you liked NWN/NWN2 you should love it.

    Any news on the Supreme Commander expansion? I'm thinking of getting the game to see how hard my new system will buckle under its requirements and the gameplay looks fun.

    Yeah I sorta have mixed feelings about, as you can see from my signature, I'm probably going to get gow, cod, and crysis. 2 of 3 are sorta must haves for me and AC seems like another must have. At least I get a month or so to get some money from my poor, thin, starving wallet.

    I remember in an interview that they originally made it as a pc game then I they ported to 360. I specifically remember him saying it wasn't a big deal going from pc to 360 but to PS3 it was a challenge. We should be ok, they make no mention of why they delayed it but I'm assuming sony and even microsoft wanted their holiday sales to go up for the consoles, since the big holiday season is where the consoles benchmark their year's results. Each of them want to end it with a bang and show strung numbers and pc versions just detract from their sales.

    Yeah Sup com expansion is coming November 6th. Its already gone gold.

    Unfortunately I'll have to wait until February next year before I can get the Supreme Commander set but I'm hoping it will be worth the wait.

    Well I might do a delayed review of it since so many people asked for it. I have to do gears and maybe cod4 first. I think I will do it the week after those.
