So any PC games to look forwards too?

[Ghost]

Hello all,

A bit of a difficult question, this one.
All of us have their own tastes when it comes to games what they are looking forwards too.
I could have tried to fill in what games I specifically mean but then the title of the topic would have become to long.

So do any of you know of any upcoming science fiction shooters or RPGs like Planescape Torment that are still in development?

All I have on my list is Half Life 2 Episode 3 which I hope will be announced soon (only for its release date to change again as the date gets nearer)

Not actually an RPG, but Games Workshop are currently working on an official Bloodbowl game that is schedules for release in 2008, so I'm really looking forward to that one. Chaos League was good, but not official or licensed by GW so to finally have an official game will be good.

Another Games Workshop game, Dawn of War, is getting another expansion pack, Soul Storm, next year too, so I'm looking forward to that one.

I recently bought the game Tarr Chronicles for a friend of mine, has any of you played it?

I also soon will have NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer.

I've got NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer, but although I've installed it, I'm still playing through the original game. It seems like a nice expansion, adding quite a few extra hours of gameplay, plus introducing some new character races to the game for you to play. It's also had some good reviews.

Tarr Chronicles is quite a good space shooter, similar in gameplay to old classics like X-Wing or Wing Commander. The graphics are nice, but the game is quite an arcade like space shooter, with only basic piloting and weapons selection commands possible. But for the type of game is good. Just don't expect anything as complex as Freespace, or open like Freelancer or X.

Haven't kept in touch with the PC game scene that much lately, but there's one game I'm really looking forward to, and that's the next version of Sim City (not Sim City Societies). That's when they'll (probably) make the transition to full 3D scenery. Rumour has it that development is well underway.

I've not read anything about the next Sim City. I always love that series.

A couple of games out this month I've been interested in are Hellgate: London and TimeShift. I've played demos of Timeshift throughout its development and it has evolved and changed direction a number of times, but the end result looks like it should be good. And Hellgate should be great multiplayer, as it played a bit like a FPS RPG.
