    Look up Space Siege. It's a sci-fi RPG from the same guy who made Dungeon Siege.

    Boy,mafia pissed me off and uninstalled it due to the horrible control and character movement. Maybe it`s because I`ve played the GTA series before mafia. Let`s hope that the sequel will be worth the bother...

    Isn`t spore for wii?
    And also,didn`t see many people awaiting for Asassin`s Creed...that game looks awesome and from the trailers,the ability to climb any bulding is fantastic!

    Craig007, you have a rather futureproof laptop. Well for at least 6 months ;) ALL of these games will run on your machine. You might not be able to max out all the graphical bells and whistles at your native res but the eye candy will be there to an extent. Dont worry about it. 8600m GT is a GOOD GPU. In any case, if you feel like your lmissing out on some FPS, buy a lappy cooler and OC that baby!

    OK so i did a little bit of research on this Alan Wake business.
    http://brightfalls.net/alan-wake-faq/
    You can read that for some interesting info and facts.
    Basically in an ideal situation you are going to need a Quad Core Extreme running above 3Ghz, a GF 7950GTX (desktop version), at least 2GB of RAM, and WINDOWS VISTA. the game will not work under XP. This is the set up that was used to showcase the game.
    I presume that a Core 2 Duo running at 2.4Ghz, nothing short of a GeForce 7600m GT DDR3 256MB, and 2GB of RAM will be sufficient to somewhat enjoy smooth gameplay. I mean this is speculation at this point. No single-core processors will be able to run this game.
    Prepare your wallets ladies and gentlemen.

    Well... I was hoping CoD5... but when I found out Treyarch is developing it, I lost hope. Now, I guess I'm just waiting for something that can compare to Call of Duty 4, or Oblivion. And the next World of Warcraft expansion.

    Definitely alan Wake (hope my computer will be able to run it, lest the Gravitator will have to choke a B*tch)

    There ain't no way SC2 will come out this year, and knowing Blizzard, I don't see it coming out earlier than 2010, but I will be eagerly awaiting it until it does.

    Turok anyone???

    There is no way blizz will make the sc:ghost misstake again. They know people only have so much patience and they will not risk having it pronounced and then ending up with releasing it 4 years laters or not at all. My guess was that it would be out this spring and I really think blizz would have wanted it to be released exactly 10 years after sc I. But from what i heard (from a well informed source) they had some issues recently so it will probably not be out before summer. My guess is this x-mas, at the latest.

    Trophy Points:
    55
    And piss off people who's game isn't listed in the poll?


    Here's my list:

    Spore
    Fallout 3
    Starcraft 2
    Splinter Cell: Conviction (XBox 360)
    Alan Wake

    and anything else without the words 'world', 'warcraft', and 'unleashed' in the title.
