Good thread topic - I was thinking of starting one, but then I came to the conclusion it was a bit of a barren period ahead in terms of expected releases.
In order of how good I expect the game to be:
(1) Mass Effect - looks to be in the Kotor mould. But by the time it comes out for PC, it will be ancient (and maybe I will be too).
(2) Fallout 3 - potentially fantastic if like FO2, merely good if like Oblivion.
(3) Dragon Age - dunno much about this, but how bad can a Bioware RPG be?
(4) Bioshock - could go up to 11/10 if it matches System Shock 2.
(5) M2TW Kingdoms - lowest rated as it it just an expansion (the next generation TW game would be at number 0).
1) Warhammer: Age of Reckoning - PvP & RvR (realm vs. realm) oriented mmo in a kickass fantasy universe. With WAR Mythic seems to be addressing all the issues that make most mmos dull grindfests. The amount of feedback and information coming from the developers is simply astounding and extremely encouraging.
2) Fallout 3 - I'm a little worried about how Bethesda is going to handle this but the thought of another Fallout game is too good to be true.
3) Dawn of War 2 - Loved Company of Heroes but the Warhammer 40K universe is much more fun. I can't wait to see DoW2 on the same engine as the CoH series.
4) Bioshock - Spiritual successor to System Shock 2. But why do I get the sneaking suspicion it's going to be alarmingly short?
5) Team Fortress 2 - I used to go bananas over TF Classic, one of the best online shooters ever made. The Scout and the Medic were my favorite classes.

There are only 4 I'm really looking forward to. There are plenty of others I might pick up if I have time, but these are the only 'must buy' titles on my list:
M2TW Kingdoms
Fallout 3
Crysis (Hopefully not out too soon, will need a major computer overhaul for this one)
Spore
Bioshock - looks nice
Dawn Of War 2 - just because
Warhammer Age of Reckoning - never played a MMO before, but I might for this.
and of course
Duke Nukem Forever!
Sorry, couldn't think of five.

Hmm, my top three for the moment would be:
- Spore
- SC II
- Kingdoms
In random order.
1) Kingdoms
2) World in Conflict
3) eeehh, let me think...maybe the next update to Mount & Blade?
4) Heroes of SEPventure
5) Assassins Creed
"Topic is tired and needs a nap." - Tosa Inu
1. Halo 3
2. Opposing Fronts
3. Crysis
4. Assassins Creed
5. Tom Clancys End War
Halo 3 is top because, although I never played any halos, its loved by all my friends on Xbox Live. I have high expectations of it.
Opposing fronts because Company of Heroes was and still is a brilliant game.
Crysis looks very revolutionary so I'll probably want that. I will probably get it on Xbox 360 if it comes out for that. Some say it won't be as good (if it does come out), but I'm sure my Xbox is more powerful than my PC anyways.
I loved Prince of Persia so I'll defo get Assassins Creed. I love the developers attitude in making it as well. They recreated the cities (Jerusalem, Acre etc.) as accurately as possible from Medieval documents with historians help. No lack of effort = Very good game guarantee.
End War is about WW3 America versus Russia in Europe. I dont even know what kind of game it is but its WW3 with America versus Russia in Europe...
To be honest, there's not many upcoming games that really have me chomping at the bit right now -- I already have most of the titles I want. That said, the ones that have me somewhat interested are (in no particular order):
1.) Spore
2.) Starcraft 2
3.) Disciples 3
That's really about it. I will add that I'm looking forward to the fantasy strategy title being worked on by Stardock. However, given that no details about it has yet been released -- including the name -- there's not much point in actually listing the game as "upcoming" yet. I'm sure it won't be available until at least 2008, if not later.

Yes, it actually is for most people, I have just realised. My tastes are usually very specific (I only like strategy games, or less preferable; FPS games [so no RPG or MMORPG] that are based on history, like Civ or TW, or the present, like BF2, and I tend to steer clear of futuristic games and I avoid mythical games like rabies infected diarrhoea), but as you can see my my top 5, there are actually quite a few which fit those catagories.Originally Posted by econ21
I might also add that I am anxiously awaiting an Age of Empires III Gold Edition. I know not everyong likes AoE3, but I do.
I suppose this thread topic will always be relevant.

1. Starcraft II because well, ITS STARCRAFT. I think that at worst it is just going to be a dissapointment since I don't think the folks at Blizzard could make something bad out of such a well known franchise.
2. Spore since Will Wright knows a thing or two about games (he made the Sims) and the game is a pioneer in its style of playing just like the Sims.
3. Hellgate London because its being developed by the guys who made Diablo II and you can probably agree that Diablo II was pretty well made wasn't it??
4. Guild Wars II since I am a cheapskate and don't won't to pay monthly fees to play a traditional MMORPG. I played the first one and thoroughly enjoyed it, but this time Arenanet is making the game more traditional like and will not have every area be instanced other than the towns.
5. Diablo III. I know its not known if it is being developed, but with SCII news, people start praying!!!!!

sigh Why do people want MOH??? Get Brother in Arms or Red Orchestra!!!
On PC in no order:
1.COH: Opposing Fronts
2.TW: Kingdoms
On console:
1.KH2: Final Mix
2.Assassains' Creed
3.Halo 3 (Play it when friend gets it)
4.Brother In Arms: Hell's Highway (Play it when friend gets it)
I don't like the idea of this game too much, but since Soren Johnson, the lead designer of Civilization IV, is also designing it, it can't be that bad. It will never be as good as Civ though.Originally Posted by Xdeathfire
Why favour Medal of Honour? Because it is the most venerable and accomplished of all the WWII shooters, and plus the idea of parachuting in everywhere is, well, appealing. I'll see how the critics rate it, and then see whether to go for Brothers in Arms or something else.Originally Posted by God's Grace
Different subject: anyone seen Halo Wars? It looks pretty cool.
I support Israel
I saw it but didnt actually see a gameplay vid, just a trailer. It looks nice, but I would have to see what its like first.
1. Storm of War: The Battle of Britain
2. Korea sim based on SOW:BOB engine
3. Starcraft 2
4.
5. Duke Nukem Forever
At the moment I am quite interest in The Settlers VI - Rise of an Empire. It sounds like a pretty interesting next generation game - possibly better than it's earlier sequals (IV and below), although only playing it will inform me the truth regarding that matter.
Dawn is nature's way of telling you to go back to bed
Maybe Mount&Blade.
Names, secret names
But never in my favour
But when all is said and done
It's you I love
My list is probably:
Medieval 2 TW: Kingdoms ( or M2TW K)
Medal of Honor Airborne
Company of Heroes OF
COD4 Modern Warfare
Thats all for now...
I'm looking forward to that one.Originally Posted by Beirut
EndWar also looks good, and I really want Assassin's Creed, but I won't buy a PS3 just for that.
Assassins Creed is coming for the PC too, so you don't have to buy an PS3.Originally Posted by Evil_Maniac From Mars
Maybe for End War you might.
As for Battle Of Britain ; been waiting for that One for Ages too, i just hope they go ahead and release it soon its been really a long time since it was announced.
EndWar was announced for PC too. Glad to hear Assassin's Creed was! Can't wait for that!Originally Posted by darkragnar
I'm changing my no. 5 choice from GRAW 2 to World in Conflict. It looks a bit like EndWar, except coming out sooner. It also looks very good.
