My Most Wanted games, updated

It seems Depths of Peril has been out a while. I checked the demo and bought the game and there is indeed a daggerfall meets dominions feel to the game. I’m totally clueless as to many of the subtleties in the game and still enjoying it hugely!

But anyway, it means I must update my list a bit more - and it seems that when I update it, more and more “big names” slip off the lists and a few more indie titles sneak in… I guess it goes with being upset at finding the “big” titles end up with same-old gameplay (with prettier graphics and a different mood, but still), and finding that the clever mixes and interesting game twists are happening in the independent.

10 (6!) most anticipated games:

Warhammer Online - a really gritty world, and some very clever ideas could make this work very well
Sins of a Solar Empire - could be homeworld all over again. with up to date graphics. Beta reports all seems extremely promising.
Sabotage - thief meets metal gear solid in world war 2. Very little is known but I love the idea
Magic Carpet 3 - hey, I can dream! There are lots of games I would like to see reborn in our day and age, but this is probably the one I think would work the best
Disciples 3 - My favorite turn based game
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

10 Games I am curious about:

Savage 2 - I’m really interested in how that one turns out
Spore (if they pull off the multiple gameplays and manage to make you care, it will be great. If they don’t, it will be too much like one SIM game after another),
Fallout 3,
Starcraft 3,
World in Conflict (some clever ideas),
Sacred 2 (I enjoyed Sacred)...

10 Published games I still want

Eschalon: Book 1 - old style 2D RPG which favors exploration
NWN2:Mask of the Betrayer - I hear it is the best D&D campaign in years and years
Dominions 3 - turn based strategy with a lot of ideas
Silent Hunter 4
Battlestations Midway
Jade Empire
Fable
The Witcher (a dark RPG, nobody’s pulled it off since… Planescape),
