    - maybe it's just because i like the World Of Darkness created by White Wolf

    BTW the concept has been burrowed from <a href='http://www.white-wolf.com' target='_blank'>White Wolf</a>.

    I know it's not really a new game as such but <a href='http://nwn.bioware.com/shadows/' target='_blank'>Shadows of Udrentide</a>, the expansion pack for NeverWinter Nights is on it's way soon.

    Prestige classes, wooot!!

    Is it just me or do those DX2 screenshots look like poo?

    And for those of you that don't get MonsE's references to the "Stinkin' Ruskies", Go watch "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". #11 in IMDB's top 250 movies of all time.

    "Gotta stop those stinkin' ruskies from stealin' my Precious Bodily Fluids!"

    Tehehe.

    --Scythe--

    P.S. I think HL2 will be good.

    I've been tracking The Movies in the gaming mags. Could be interesting.

    The Movies Game could be excellent fun..sounds fairly mod-able as well....

    "And by customising the look, names, clothes and vocals of the cast and crew you can mirror reality. Hire and fire your favourite stars! Use the best directors! Even put yourself and your friends into the film world!"

    I want to make a kung fu vampire porno. The world needs more of those.

    Deus Ex 2, that should be great as well, I loved the first one.

    Ahh good call. I was reading about that one in the latest CGM. Very 'return to their roots'. I bet all the guys that Flay and I met at UVA-LAN4 will be pretty excited (massive Tribes LAN party - 500+ players every year).

    Anyone else have some goodies?

    Honestly, I'm sceptical towards Fallout 3. Not because of Brotherhood of Steel (So they make a non-RPG in the Fallout universe. Who's to complain?), but because the narratives in the recent Bioware games tended to be rather weak (NWN being the definitely worst one). I hope they'll manage a turn around.

    Republic: The Revolution looks pretty awesome. So long as I don't have to micromanage everything, I think it could be a lot of fun.

    How about xbox?

    Fable

    A new-age rpg with stunning visuals and a constantly evolving character. From the makers of black & white, it will rule. And like black & white, your character's appearance is affected by how good or evil his actions are.

    <a href='http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/rpg/fable/screenindex.html' target='_blank'>Screens @ gamespot</a>


    Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic

    An action-rpg that has awesome potential, a combination of combat & exploration.

    <a href='http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/rpg/starwarsknightsoftor/screenindex.html' target='_blank'>Screens @ gamespot</a>

    And there's Halo 2... but I'm waiting to see how much of an improvement it is over the original, besides the graphics that is...

    How bout "Evil Genius" - its like dungeon siege with better graphics and set in a 60s'-ish james bond film, except your the evil villian and train your umm... evil henchmen. Heres a link:

    For all you MMORPG fans, <a href='http://www.dominusonline.com/' target='_blank'>Dominus online</a>

    Its based around PVP, i dunno when its comming out or if it will but it lewks cool and if it really is as good as it says i may join the Mmorpg community again.

    I'm drooling over Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. The trailer was kinda 'bleh', but I just love the V:TM universe so much and the game looks like it has a lot of potential with Troika at the helm.

    Hopefully they can pull off the game right so more people get interested in Vampire.

    Wow DoctorJ, awesome link. I have to add 'Evil Genius' to the same list as 'The Movies' for my wishlist. If they can get the 'good-guy' AI working right in that game, I am going to be a very busy Villain next year. You're right, it's like DS without the retarded elves and such (/me hates elves in games).

    Nope, because I don't like all of the World of Darkness.

    I only really like Werewolf and Vampire.

    yup, somehow it looks like eyecandy filled with crap to me, not like there's much of great story (but I really hope I'm wrong on that one). if anything I did like the kind of blade runner/syndicate style they used for the city though.
