    Only one: Gears of War 2 - Although Xbox 360 only of course. If they attempt a PC version this time I certainly won't be falling prey to it. They got me once already with that project they should have abandoned. What makes it worse is that they even got away with it.

    Starcraft 2, although at this point maybe it won't even be released until 2009 :(. There hasn't been any announced date today.

    Well its not possible to list evey game possible. But there are those which are mentioned alot. Just to see some numbers. Not a big deal.

    Though Gophn is right Hello Kitty Island Adventure wins, no competition.

    If they release SC2 in 2009, they`re effin retarded. That`s just WAY too much time for a game release, this is ridiculous.

    I have faith in December 3rd launch date. At worst they will push it back to end of december. Duke Nukem was different story, it shuffled around through developers so it was scrapped then started over and such.

    Best Buy has SC2 listed as December, but this could change.

    From what I heard, SC2 will not be too demanding since Blizzard wants to make sure that many play it. There might DX10 support for those who have better PCs.

    BFH is definitely fun. Been beta'ing it for a while now.

    Made many characters... very fun.

    Although some classes & abilities need to get nerfed.

    Is it really? Honestly, I haven't been looking forward to it much, as it just seemed... washed out. I don't know, looks kind of like a half-hearted attempt. But you're the official beta-guy here, so if you say it's good, it's gotta be worth the free download.

    Do you know if it's going to pull a War-Rock on us, and have funded-transactions? Are we going to have to "buy" guns/equipment, via paypal or CC?

    I don't know if I would call myself a competitive computer gamer because I don't play FPS style games and such I tend to stick to MMORPGs and MMOs but I do like aiming to be the best in them and I can't imagine playing an MMO where the best dropped item has stats like:

    THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE:

    Two Handed Sword
    80-100 damage
    3.00 attack speed
    +40 Strength
    +40 Vitality
    +40 Agility

    But if you spend $20.00 extra you don't have to farm for the items and can just buy it in seconds and the best one looks something like this:

    Two Handed Sword
    160-200 Damage
    2.00 Attack Speed
    +80 Strength
    +80 Vitality
    +80 Agility
    +80 Dexterity

    That just makes it not worth competing and makes for a really imbalanced game. It no longer is about who has the most skill, but who has the most money and that can get very frustrating.
