I do hope Sam n Max lives up to the history, it'd be nice to see that kind of game manage to come back in some form.

That new team be Telltale. Seems to be web-only episodic content which I'm not sure will fair too well with the general public, but still very much looking forward to it and certainly one that I'll be pimping at work.

You're getting old, that's your problem. It'll be a mortgage next, and then you're doomed.

That is a possibility, although set against it that my current gaming interests are these:

Denial and a Peter Pan complex. You and me both, except I've already got to the mortgage part.

I shall go and watch some films about mid-life crises in people with no reason to complain :C

For PC games, how about Spore? Isn't that supposed to be out soon-ish?
Then there's Half Life Aftermath, and Oblivion is supposedly out in the next couple of months.
I have to admit though, apart from Spore there's nothing coming that really excites me, even on consoles. I'd love to play PGR3, but I'm not about to lay out £280 + gameprice for the privelege (although slightly more tempted by Game's offer of a £50 tradein on the XBox).

 

Slightly more ontopic, how about oft-overlooked components such as cases and PSU's?

Spore is hopefully going to be great but it's a bit early to know for sure. That could certainly be the kind of thing I'm looking for though, yeah. Half Life Aftermath though, meh! Oblivion oh gosh I hope so. I wonder if the 360 version will be better or worse.

 

Since I already have MSR and PGR2, PGR3 appeals not one tiny bit.

Fair enough, its not for everyone. I really enjoy the series though, and PGR was what spurred me to get the original XBox.
Aftermath I'm looking forward to possibly simply due to Dog apparently playing a much larger part, the bits in HL2 with Dog in were the bits I most enjoyed ;-)

 

There's an interview on joystiq about Oblivion's differences across versions and apparently unless you've got a stupidly powerful PC then the X360 version is the one to get - especially if you have a HDTV.

 

I'm actually fairly happy about the games drought at the moment though, as I'm concentrating on City of Villains, and toying with the idea of getting X3, both of which are fairly major time-consuming games.

Yeah it's not like I have time for these bloody things anyway, true enough.

Then there's always...

heh. Mmm.

For a moment I thought full production meant "sticking it on cd", but they actually mean "we're still making it".

Don't worry. It'll go gold soon when they change the colour of the logo or something.

Sensible Soccer is coming back soon, which wont need a high spec pc for :D

 

Can't wait for that.

Man I hope they don't fuck it up. Those new screens are... well, meaningless really I guess. It's good they're not trying to compete with FIFA and Pro Evo for realism at least.

I read a interview with the developers and they are trying not to change to much from the original, it will still be basic and fun Lets just hope they stick to it!) We might also see some other old favs come back (cannon fodder and mega lo mania would be ace)

 

Excellent

I actually expected to see some pop-up ads in your post.

Heh, I thought I remembered a thread like this. Thanks for bumping it, Kabbie!

 

Anyway, post more stuff TECHY PEOPLE. I want a new computer this summer and don't know what to get.
