Hardware up to date is an utopia in the last years , don't know if you have tried one of the Crysis series...but you could be disapponted by your new machine even if it's not its fault.

But I can't wait to see Blizzard's sons released, damn we are talking about history of gaming...I think I could sell a kidney just to play Starcraft II and Diablo3.
A friend with a slightly weaker machine than mine can play crysis in 1280*1024 with high details and some amount of anti aliasing turned on so I guess it would work on my PC too. Besides I payed my around 700€, a couple of years ago if you would buy a machine for that money it would already be outdated. PC hardware is cheaper than ever. :P

The only game I had problem running is GTA4 which runs on about 25-30FPS but with high details. However that game is terribly optimized for PC, though otherwise it's an excellent game.

Well, he didn't activated Ultra graphics...and antialiasing isn't really activated, it's a problem of recent games, he should do it manually

I think I'll be hoping for more good stuff from GoG, as well as picking up any classics I've missed in the past couple of years.

Age of Decadence interests me, though I dunno if it'll be done in '09! Similarly for Diablo 3. Dragon Age: Origins might be out though.

As an hardcore strategy gamer, I find very sad that the only game which I can find even remotely interesting in that genre is Starcraft 2. And even then...

Spotted a lot of games in the other genres I'd be willing to try. Won't happen if they are pay to play though. I'll never risk losing good money on bad games. I been burned too often already.

Well, I know I'll be trying Gobliiiins 4, for sentiments sake
Got to look into the Last dark of halfness series as well

I don't know if Overlord 2 will be as much fun as the first, but I'll have a try
And I might have a go with Diablo 3, when it's on sale

We already know that auditorium is nice and addictive
Machinarium looks cool, but I don't know the slightest thing about the game

Curious about Beyond Good & Evil 2 and Mirror's Edge

that's about it for this list

I have had a look at crysis and it runs pretty well on my £400 PC with a £35 graphics card - Geforce 8600GT so you will probably find it plays fine, no problems with Far cry 2 or Fear either.

Let's see...
Empire: Total War, the new Anno may be good, Cities XL (now that SimCity has forsaken us), Grand Ages Rome could be nice, Star Trek Supremacy (I played BotF way too much), the three SoaSE mini-expansions, Gobliiins 4 :amused:, Drakensang, City of Abandoned Ships, Age of Decadence, The Tomorrow War, Subversion, Crayon Physics Deluxe, Braid, Limbo, Mafia 2, White Gold, Precursors, OFP2, ArmA2, Dragon Age, Metro 2033, Mirror's Edge, Alpha Protocol, Risen, Borderlands, Arcania, Deus Ex 3 (please don't mess it up), Soviet Assault...

Plenty to keep an eye on

This is going to sound very awkward, but I'm also curious about Love :bleh:
Perhaps it will be the first MMOG to... actually be enjoyable?
