Getting myself a new computer. The current rig is over six years old and not getting any younger.

After that:
Dominions 3
Space Empires V (Not played the others, but figured this one would be worth it)
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Heroes of Might and Magic V


That's about the size of it.

Core Duo and to a lesser degree Vistas. Supreme Commander definately sounds cool though.

Really hoping that NWN2 turns out to have a singleplayer campaign more in line with what the Baldurs gate (and other games of the engine) gave us rather then the multiplayer demo that pretended to be the singleplayer campaign of NWN.
I'm with you. The original NWN campaign was a disgrace. I quit after 45 minutes, and never touched it again. But you should check out the two expansions for NWN, both of which featured truly fantastic main campaigns. I was just as hooked by those expansions as I was by the Infinity Engine games.

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten about that (rather amazing, considering I go to a site that's got a banner labeled "race to SEV" every day). I, too, am looking forward to that. There's usually a pretty big jump in graphics, game content, etc. between games, and I've heard this edition is no different.

Then I want to fight a grim battle against the unlikely duo of the Terminator and Robocop. The last level should involve (but not be limited to) multiple robo-Hitlers and a gorillasaurus rex."--Uraniun235 on his ideal FPS game

And maybe the next Castlevania for DS, if they get it out this year.
Oh yeah, and Snowboard Kids DS! But they probably won't release it here, just like Snowboard Kids 2! Fuckers :evil:

If there is any kind of a God, he will give Nintendo a kick in the ass, and Zelda will be released (from what I hear, the last Zelda game before the storyline and characters get heavily revised).
