The online Matrix game. Anyone have any idea when that's supposed to be released? I will buy a computer just so that I can play that game.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion

Sure its '06 or '07, but I NEED it... :shock:

I can't wait for Bethesda Softwork's 'Call of the Cthulhu' to come out. It's based on the HP Lovecaft short story, obviously. It will be beautifully awesome. The same company did 'Morrowind' s I'm sure it will be quite satisfactory.

Zelda 2005. I must have it! After playing the minish cap, I'm so hopping that the evil doude will be Vaati (he was so coll on the minish cap, he sucked in all of the others though) Also, it would so own if they had the shrinking thing in 3D.

What? I can dream.

Battlefield 2
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
Fighter ops
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri 2 (If they ever decide to make it)
My own... ;)

yeah, whens that coming out? i love all the zelda series to pieces. FF outright owns it but zelda is still a brilliant series. i heard they were going to make it a darker, more adult version compared to the previous games. sort of like prince of persia 2 compared to PoP 1. which both owned.

the matrix online has huge system requirements.i would play it but i dont want ot buy a new commy just to play it.

Waiting for Xenosaga 2. I'm in no hurry though

[Lomebririon]

I haven't been reading up much on games to be released, I haven't bought a game magazine in so long. :cry:

i have heard that series is brilliant, yet here in europe xenosaga never got released. i can buy and import of #1 for like £50 ($110) but is that really worth it? keep in mind that games here are overall cheaper than america. never EVER any games more than £40 ($85) unless it is specially requested as an import.

I made a mistake and created a new topic instead of replying, well, the game i expect the most is age of empires 3, that will be out in november. Im also a big fan of the final fantasy, so i also expect final fantasy xii

yeah!

age of empires 3 looks cool, too. i havnt owned a RTS in a while, so buying it should be a good choice.

the story is top-notch and gameplay is so-so. If you're a person who likes to sit back and watch cut-scenes more then actual playing then this is your game. The cinematics are long(one of them is even 45 minutes long), but the story is really good. Graphics are pretty good to. Granted that by the end of the game there will still be unanswered questions, but its the 1st game out of a 6 series. I've heard that many of the questions from 1 will be answered in 2. Also if you're into that space, sci-fi stuff, then you'll like it as well.

If you got any questions about the game feel free to ask

I bought xenosaga during the summer for like 15 dollars. Then I played it for 30 minutes and decided it sucked, so its been sitting there ever since.

My friend tells me the game gets better after the first hour, Nightowl you want to confirm this? If it does I'll try playing it again.

I agree with your friend. the beginning was pretty dull. I was really struggling to push on in the beginning, but then i started enjoying it a lot more as the story went on. I say play the game for at least two more hours. the game really doesnt pick off until you get off the first ship that your are on. If you dont like it by then or at least not even intrigued, then get rid of it.

When you have more cutscences than actual gameplay, I suggest you put the control down and wonder if you're actually playing a game... :roll:

(I found out that the Matrix Online is coming out March 31st.... 10 days after my birthday... *cries* :damnit: ) At least I know what I'm getting my b/f for a graduation gift..... Why is he always around when I pick out his gifts?

And yes, I am still obsessed with the Matrix. If you don't like it, shove it! (Woah.... that was uncharacteristically violent. I'm going to bed)

Ah, forgot about that (been waiting for it for so long now). Add that to my list.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. also looks interesting.
