For some reason I'm not all that interested in Spore anymore. Clear Sky, though, hells yeah.

I'm going to buy pretty much all of those, but I voted Clear Sky because that comes first.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky:__August 29
Spore:________________September 5
Fallout 3:______________October 3
Far Cry 2:______________October 31
Left 4 Dead:____________November 7
CoD 5:________________November 11
GTA 4:________________November 21

dates are from wiki or play

Add Mirrors Edge to that and you have a list of all the games I'm looking forward to, with the exception of CoD 5, I'll have to see how that one turns out.

The only game I'll probably be buying around release time though is Spore, I want to wait until I have a decent PC to play the rest on before I buy them.

Shit. I hate buying more than one game at once. Something always gets overshadowed even if it's excellent.

Having said that, Left 4 Dead is my only likely pre-order- mainly because there's usually a discount for doing so, but also because I have no doubts about its quality.
The rest... I'll be watching with interest for something to say 'buy me'.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky and Left 4 Dead are my two most anticipated games by a big margin. Fallout 3 looks like it could be awesome, but I'm waiting until they show a bit more of the game before getting really excited. For me Spore is a game that I'll pick up if everyone loves it after it's released. I'm not going to be to bothered over it until then.

I'm planning to only buy one of those games at a time and spread them out over the next year, no doubt there'll be another drought next summer but I can still be playing these games if I don't get them all at once.

Fallout 3 is a bit of a strange one for me, I'm looking forward to it because if oblivion is anything to go by then this will be brilliant. From what I've seen though I don't think I'll like the combat system, pausing the action to select body parts to attack will completely break the immersion imo.

Also: Far Cry 2 anyone?

Fallout - it excites me

Spore - promises much but I have a horrible feeling it will be crap

Stalker - didn't particularly like the first, won't bother with this one unless it's getting rave reviews from 5punkers several weeks after the initial hype has died down.

Left4Dead - yes

Others - meh

Everything Roman said as well.

RA3 comes out in October according to Wiki, and well BFH this year.

Fallout, stalker and left4dead are on order.

Spore doesn't really grape my squildo, may well sweep it though.

Far cry 2 has just recently pinged on my radar, it does look good but it seems quite sudden, I'm not hyped up about it but we'll see.

Too many gaems at same time is annoying.

Me too, probably. Management games, no matter how amazing they are supposed to be, confuse me.

Due to the last overload I completely missed that Oblivion is very good and didn't play it beyond finding the first oblivion gate. I've rediscovered it having got bored of wow grinding.

Beta Forums say this is the release date also. But if you pre-ordered it you get some sort of headstart. Im not sure how they're handling that though.

Fallout 3 should see me through the first semester at uni
