What's extra-evil about EA is that the most recent patch for Spore actually addresses some of the space-stage stagnation, but you can only get it with the EA Download Manager and a legitmate copy.

Funny how anyone who playtested for EA would've noticed that Space is unplayable in the way it went gold, then very shortly after a patch that makes it playable is released, but only through thier Download Manager.

Curious, if you ask me.

Back to topics:

Empire: Total War - A Total War game set during the colonization of America, including the Revolutionary War?  With full naval combat and co-op online campaigns?  This game was sold to me when it was conceptualized.

Left4Dead - Got a whole group to help me kill some zombies when this drops.

Diablo 3 - Nuff' said.

Starcraft 2 - Again, nuff' said.

I may be the odd man out in that I'm not particularly stoked for Demigod - I played some DOTA in WC3 and didn't like the fact that it seemed to be "level up on hordes of NPCs so you can fight another player."
If it has a players versus NPC hordes mode I'll be more interested.

When, for the love of the tankgods, is WW2: T34 vs Tiger going to be released? It's Oct 24 now!!

Sorry, I know this is late, but since the thread appears to have been dug up, and the quoted comment confused me greatly, I am asking a month late:

Cities XL

Diablo III

For all of you that said you were looking foward to Spore, how did it live up to your expectations of what you thought it would be as far as it being a game.  I wasn't looking forward to it and said after I saw a video of it, that I agreed with the video reviewer, it seemed more like an educational tool of sorts than it did a game of any sort.  Yeah I did buy Spore and I feel even more so today and think the manufacturer of the disks simply made a mistake, he forgot to include the "fun and game" folder out of the installation folders on the installation dvd, so they can surely add in fun and game  to the game, because it is severly missing in my opinion which seems to coincide with many many other peoples opinions who own the game.

My new expectations are Demigod, Cities XL, the newest version of Mount & Blade, and several others I can't think of right away.

X3: Terran Conflict is out, and it SUCKS!!!  Most disappointing game of my life. So much for the future of the space sim genre...

BTW, Ghostbusters may never be released. The publisher got rid of the developing team. Bummer.

X3's patch is out, and the game is much better now. Still disappointed in Egosoft for letting so many bugs escape.

What disappointed so many fans was how different X3 is from the other X games. Everything is much faster paced now. I'm getting used to it, and like it now. Ignore my last comment.
