Looking around vaguely this year (and some my be pushed back to next year) are: Resident Evil 5 Silent Hill 5 Harker Dead Space Left 4 Dead (This title drives me insane) I know there're more, but I cannot remember them for the life of me - especially at 1 in the morning. When it rains it pours... --- "ADA! WAIT!"

There's been precious little released for the PC this past couple of years as well that's worth invest time and cash in. Seems the consoles have killed the drive to supply us PC diehards with anything groovey. I keep going back to the same olds in order to get a little play time in. I'd sure hate to have to resort to bowling with a WII. Tk

They're also releasing some of the house of the deads on the wii, not that I'm all that intrigued. Stalker's prequel is coming out this year too, and the last one had a little horror in the mix. And I just have to be a nerd and talk about borderlands (Xbox 360, PS3, PC). It looks like a FPS mixed with Diablo, with a few others mixed in, but with an unprecidented amount of guns..... More than 500,000 different guns to be more precise (and no that is not a typo) this is not including the more than 500,000 other bits of equipment. These aren't just lots of differents stats for the same gun skins either, every single one looks different from the others. I'm so getting this on 360 'cause the requirements for the computer have got to be ridiculous. Also the built in Co-op nature of the game is interesting. --- "ADA! WAIT!"

That sucks. I just finished upgrading my old best cheaply. The next one is gunna cost though. I replaced my CPU and the graphics card and pumped up my RAM in the last 6 months and it barely runs the material out in the last year, never mind the really new games. If I want to upgrade again I'll have to replace the motherboard, then all the other stuff...again. It's just not fair to ask or demand the consumer to have to do this every year. Nor do I think it necessary for most games. I'm not buying another console, ever. Period. I got burned on the two I have bought and refuse to give them anymore cash. Tk

Yeah, the graphics were dated, but I never get tired of shooting stuff. As for pc vs Wii vs Xbox vs PS3...I dunno. The Wii is fun, but there's a shortage of really good games, and the ones that are there are $$$$. A lot of the games that are out there don't take advantage of the Wii's eerie powers. Xbox has a lot of fun-looking games, but the 33% failure rate makes me leery of ever buying one. Save yer pennies, good troll, and buy a PS3. Maybe by the time they're affordable enough to buy one there'll be some good games to go with them. "Normal is relative and your nightmares are real." Horror-Web.com

Even if it's just a pvp aspect of the game, I can't wait to swing a lightsaber using my wiimote. You should not have come back, old man.

They've hinted that they're working on one that will give very precise control over a lightsaber, but that's all I know. --- "ADA! WAIT!"

I'll prolly rent it to try it out w/ the wiimote --- "ADA! WAIT!"

Then I could get TFU and GTA4. "Normal is relative and your nightmares are real." Horror-Web.com
