Where did the list go? Gamesopot forums is giving me some real big troubles that bassicaly made me unable to update this thread. I've also tried other forum, but spambots flooded it with porn :D So I finally did what many people told me I should have done long time ago: I've moved the lists to blod. You can find them here:

sorry for any annoyances the move might cause, but trust me, it's for the best :)

I hope Sins of the Solar Empire turns out good.

nice job (as always) adrian.

Also, the military vehicle in "Bohemia Interactive's 'GAME 2" is the Avenger.  I actually drove one of those in the Army for three years :)  I might buy the game just to relieve some of my "glory days" :P  Do you know where the game takes place?  If it is in the middle east I would be in heaven!

Be prepared to add a few from Blizzard VERY soon. Including the next WoW expansion.

Oh... And get rid of StarTrek Online

Speaking of Fallout 3, I want to finally see some screens of that game. I think the ones on here are just concept art or something.

If you want any help with editing (thread layout, links, game descriptions...), let me know, I'd be happy to help.

Also, let us know if you want this floated, or keep the 2007 edition for now.

I think I will be able to handle it on my own, but if i have problems I will let you know. And keep the 2007 edition floated. I will soon update it with link to this one and till the end of 2007 it needs to stay floated :)

Once again, Adrian comes through, big time. They should lock this thread right next to the 2007 list. 2008 is already stacking up to be a great year. Also, Castle Wolfenstein 2 was just announced with a release date in 2008, over at joystiq today.

I can't wait for Dropship and JA 3. Enemy in Sight also seems amazing, although it's mostly the dev name that made me interested. Mafia was such a brilliant game.

I hope Sins of the Solar Empire turns out good.

inoperativeRS

Likewise, though I really wonder about Dropship being released in 2008 (or at all, really...seemed rather sketchy).

 I hope the Russian devs (who, as it turns out, never laid their hands on Silent Storm) can make a quality JA3 (not expecting something that will live up to JA2).  

Too many of those multiplatform games would be alot more promising if they were PC exclusive.  And why are the Mafia developers making a tactical FPS?  Like we don't have enough of those :|  Give me Mafia 2, damnit!

From what I hear Enemy in Sight is supposed to be similar to OPF....A high realism shooter.

If you get a chance give this program a whirl: http://www.download.com/TextPad/3000-2352_4-10303640.html?tag=lst-0-1 it's basically Notepad with HTML support and a lot of other new features. It lets me copy/paste right into GS without any hitches.

Great list, TC.  Might want to throw in Hellgate London because you know it's going to still be big in '08.  Add Bioshock and UT3 as well :D

So...what about 2009 :P

 

Infinity: Quest for Earth is going to be great. Nothing quite like exploring an entire galaxy...I noticed that it is on both the 2007 and 2008 lists.

most of those are just 2007 delays tbh.

 

2007 HAD alot of potential, but it seems that alot of games got delayed!

 FAR to many.

It's always like that, but on the other hand many good 2006 games got delayed to 2007, so it all evens out in the end

I'm putting a band-aid on mine to squeeze a few more years out of it before getting a whole new rig.  New rigs are indeed expensive.Â
