- Supreme Commander - definately looks sweet. Been following it for awhile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ACN-SDo ... 0commander (shaky cam footage from Supreme Commander). Very hyped for SC.
- Halo 3... still aways off. Looks good, though. Average hyped.
- Command and Conquer 3... I loved the originals but they've got progressively worse. RA2 was good, and I liked  Generals, but C&C3 isn't looking that great yet. But who knows, it's still early. Just not that hyped yet.
- My favorite video trailer so far was DEFINATELY the Warhammer one. http://media.pc.ign.com/media/773/773711/vids_1.html - Still, for the game, I'm not that hyped yet.
- Spore also looks great (the next game from Will Wright). It's got a site up now. http://www.spore.com/ - Very hyped.
- Assassin's Creed - not much in the way of media yet, but the previews sounds good. Think Thief + PoP + GTA... oh man. Sweet. My hype is about average, though, since I haven't really seen anything in-game yet. Old trailer for it: http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?p ... id=336&s=l

That's it for me pretty much.

Pretty much 4 games.
Metal Gear Solid 4-been into this series since the first game on PS1.
Armed Assault-Got flashpoint, loved it, waiting for the update.
Quake Wars-yea
Gran Turismo 5-Only thing that could have made GT4 better on the PS2 would have been a bit better textures and some anti-aliasing. PS3 is giving me all that.
Gotta start saving up for PS3's 600$ pricetag, as well as some upgrades for the PC.

I hate FPSers on consoles with a passion unless its action style like in MGS or something.

Hey guys,

Here's a link to a review of Crysis from Tom's Hardware that sounds interesting - at the very least a truly destructable and reactive environment sounds really cool!

Heard about that game in a magazine.
"Only god knows what you'll have to have in your PC to run this game"
Imagine every single leaf casting soft shadows from sunlight.

[N0Spin]

No doubt, but in the vein of an excuse to spend a little more time or $$ on the hobby / occupation / obsession....what the hell?  Right? 

On another related thought....Maybe, unlike EA, this game's code is actually optimized...?

Hey illfusion,

Don't feel too bad, I bet I got you beat.  Since my main system blew it's mb I had to move by big agp gforce 6600 - 128mb, over to my old xp1800 system.  So if it seems to take me a little while to load in ~ well, you get the idea.  But even if the full detail, and modeling is beyond whatever we're running when the game comes out, I still have to imagine it will look awesome!
