The main one I'm tracking is Elemental: War of Magic. The pre-purchase beta test starts in June, and I'm really looking forward to it. Since spring and summer is a period where I don't have much free time for gaming, it might be the only one I spend much time on.

I'm still not sure if I'll bother with Empire:Total War. Normally I'd be very interested, but I'm not sure about a commitment to Steam, and I want to read some user feedback on how far they've dumbed-down the sailing model. I'm not a big fan of this era or type of army, and the sail combat is the main draw for me.

Dragon Age is another one where I'd normally be all over it, being a former Balder's Gate/Icewind Dale/NWN1/NWN2 fan. But I saw a trailer with a cut scene that put me off a little. The dialog and plot seemed more juvenile and hackneyed than I was expecting from Bioware, but maybe the full game is better than it looks from that one exposure. Or maybe the new game engine will be good enough to be worth gritting my teeth through any worn-out cliche's. I think playing The Witcher has spoiled me, by showing a different take on sword and sorcery (although even THAT one couldn't avoid dwarves and elves). Anyway, I'm following the game's progress and will probably end up getting it.

Other than that, not much on my radar. Maybe the upcoming mini-expansions for Fallout 3.

Evochron Legends? I hadn't heard of that series before. I'm a sucker for cockpit-level space games, good or bad, so I'll probably give it a shot. Thanks for the heads-up!
