Here's Gamespy's list of the upcoming games that will come to us in the coming months for the PC.

http://pc.gamespy.com/articles/906/906698p1.html

Wow! We sure have some gems coming to us this games are great to end the year, I'm really looking forward to Farcry 2 amazing graphics and animation. Also saw the trailer for Crysis: Warhead and if that's part of the in-game music then, I can surely say it will be incredible and the game looked action pack non-stop, more weapons, more cinematics that make the game look like a damn movie and Psycho just looks as bad as a tough motherf**ck** can be.

*EDIT*
[sarcasm] Remember the HWA clan? Me neither[/sarcasm] I just saw the gameplay for Left 4 Dead and seriously guys i think this is a game we can all get along with and possibly bring the HWA clan in some serious business. The game is a survival horror/co-op kill freaky 28 days later style running/fierce zombies before they kill you and turn you against your teammates all while running through tight spaces, managing ammo and letting paranoia consume you. :_)

We'll also get COD: World At war from Treyarch (Guys who did COD 3 for console) but am not very impressed with the video, it reminded me too much of COD2.

Oh, almost forgot about Mirror's Edge, that looks like the craziest game I've ever seen, might you you motion sickness though. :/

*Edit* *EDIT*
Ugh! Mirror's Edge looks very limited and from what I've seen the gameplay is just running and jumping around while avoiding bullets and taking gun away from cops while delivering contraband (or was that a intel)?

So yeah check it out.

Far Cry 2 and Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway and COD4 are the games I look forward to the most. Mirrors Edge looks like it has amazing gameplay too, so I will definitely be checking that out.

Also, the song in the Prince of Persia trailer is very relaxing.

Sadly, I am only looking towards Stalker, Warhead, Farcry 2, CoD:World at War, and Fallout 3.

All the others just aren't my kind of thing.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames came out for PC not too long ago. I haven't played it yet but I really wanted to play the first...

World In Flames was a disaster in the reviews. The console versions at least, they're simply broken and buggy as hell.

I haven't played very long but so far I like it. Think Just Cause with the quirkiness of Total Overdose. That pretty much sums it up. IGN gives it ~8 out of 10--I'd say that's fair.

Ah, yes although it's an MMO, I'm rather fond of the Warhammer world thanks to the Warhammer 40k Platinum Edition. I love the Orks!

WAAAAAGH!

Review of Crysis: Warhead from IGN. http://pc.ign.com/articles/909/909584p2.html

Better graphics! Better performance! More action! More cinematics!? Count me in baby.

I played Warhead on a high-end machine with a quad core CPU and the latest Nvidia graphics card at high resolution (1680x1050) with all the details set to Enthusiast, which is essentially very high. It looked cutting edge and the frame rate was solid. Next, I checked the game on a slightly older PC with a two-year old 8800GTS and I was still able to crank it to Enthusiast settings and the same resolution and get solid results. Finally, I checked it out on the "$700 PC" that Crytek and EA have been touting. It really is a $700 machine built on the latest mainstream parts (the video card is a 9800GT), and I was able to play the final boss battle at the same resolution and at Enthusiast settings and get solid frame rates. I also tried it the Gamer setting, which is essentially high, and the frame rate was buttery smooth. You do lose some visual quality stepping down from Enthusiast, but even at Gamer Warhead still looks better than almost every game out there.


I'm buying this!

I'm not a huge MMO guy but I was in the beta and WAR appeals to me. I tried a few others; WoW, DAoC, Vanguard, Guild Wars and DAoC was the only one I really liked due to it being pvp centric. WAR is the same company and it's all about pvp and you're right, the Greenskins are the best - cool-looking and lots of grim humor.
