    Good topic, but I almost hate to admit that there is not much on the horizon that I am looking forward too.

    The only thing I can think of is Silent Hunter 3. It really looks good and promises dynamic gameplay to make up for the rather disappointing, dated, and highly scripted Silent Hunter 2 that got released a couple of years ago.

    In fact my growing lack of interest in new PC release is probably why I am considering a console just because there seems to be such a wide and varied bunch of games available.

    Cheers

    F.E.A.R. - Looks great. Hopefully, plays great.

    others:

    Tortuga: Pirate's Revenge - still a trickle of info but looking forward to the ship battles.

    Imperial Glory - they better do something with the low number of provinces (53-55, last I recall), the low number of soldiers (2000 max, I think) and the length of ship battles (on the trailer, two volleys, and one ship is already sunk )

    F.E.A.R looks interesting. Might get that.

    Mostly looking forward to the Battle of Britain flightsim by the makers of the IL2-Sturmovik series. New graphics engine, super detailed planes, new game code that will allow huge air battles. Mmmmmm....... can't wait!

    Battlefield 2 - BF2 will pick up where Desert Combat left off. The preview videos look sensational.

    Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth - After a long tragic history of their original publisher going bankrupt, buyouts, delays and other nonsense this game is supposed to be out sometime this year.

    Rome Total War Expansion Pack - I am fairly optimistic that we'll see the expansion pack released before X-Mas. I imagine Activision gave it the green light after the 4th Quarter 2004/X-mas sales numbers came in...

    You're joking! I'm a massive Lovecraft fan, and I was watching this with anticipation, hoping it would manage to capture some of the atmosphere of his books. I thought it dropped off the radar, but apparently not.

    Pretty much just KOTOR 2 for PC, GTA:SA for PC, S.TA.L.K.E.R for PC and Imperial Glory (Please let it be good, please let it be good...).

    The Cthulhu game is still alive? Not dead, but dreaming or something like that? Should probably put that on the radar...

    Other games:

    Dominions 3!
    Space Empires V!
    A MP-playable version of RTW.
    GTA: SA PC version
    KotoR 2
    Guild Wars (not too high expectations, but I'll give it a chance)

    I have a feeling that STALKER will be the next big thing, cannot wait to play it. I am also looking forward to Resident evil 4, and Killer7(I don't even know what kind of game it is but I have a cell-shading fetisj). IF it is released in 2005 (or at all) Bioshock. We are we are we are anticipating.

    No joke gents, Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is alive and well. It was previewed on several gaming sites last year and was supposed to be released in the last months of 2004 but was pushed back to Spring 05.

    Ah, yes. I forgot about Stalker!

    Another one for my list, Star Wars: Empires at War. Its like a total war game mixed with Homeworld and C&C. Go to www.planetcnc.com and read the article about it.

    EDIT: The article had to be taken down due to copyright stuff

    The article claims that realistic tactics will be used, so the comparison to cnc would be innappropriate. Then again, the screens show things like foot infantry advancing across open fields. I would think that such a move would be a waste, since the large open areas would be dominated by AFVs. Still, it looks like it has potential( Rebellion II hmmmm...)

    I'm not desperately awaiting any game but there are a few I have mild interest in: Jade Empire (Bioware's RPG for the xbox), KOTORII, Kingdom Hearts 2, the new Cube Zelda. On the PC I'm mostly anticipating patches for existing games.
    Frogbeastegg's Guide to Total War: Shogun II. Please note that the guide is not up-to-date for the latest patch.

    brothers in arms: it's basically close combat V in first person, with amazing graphics and physics. it looks awesome so far.

    splinter cell: chaos theory: all the good stuff from the 2nd one, plus co-op play? sign me up.
    obviously, you're not a golfer.

    Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II is pretty certain to be excellent.

    Brothers in Arms looks interesting - a supposedly realistic FPS in "Band of Brothers" territory.

    Not sure if it'll be out this year, but the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the only original RPG that has caught my interest (KOTORII is not exactly original).

    The games I'm awating most have to be Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and X2: The Return (expansion pack for X2). Not much else apart from that, except maybe Middle Earth Online. I've never bothered with subscription games before but I'll wait and see how good it looks.
