Yes, it's a PC gaming thread on QGL - amazing!

From the Gamespot forums, here is a massive list of potentially good to great PC games on their way in 2006 (hopefully):

Forums - PC Games - reasons why it's worth to be PCgamer in ...

If you can't find something on that list you're keen on, sell your PC immediately.

Combat Mission: ShockForce looks like it's 10 years to late in the graphics department.

Reasons why it's worth to be PCgamer in 2006

I thought this was going to be about why it's good to be the crew from PCGamer Magazine, like if they're getting heaps of exclusive game previews this year or something.

Vampyre Story
A classic point-and-click 2D PC adventure game, made by bunch of ex-LucasArts guys(those that worked on LucasArts' classic point and click adventure games, especialy a lot of Curse of Monkey Island crew, which got 9.0 at GS )

...woah

Sam and Max2
Finally a sequel to one of best games ever made

STALKER
Extremely ambitious game with graphics to die for

AHAHAHAH yeah, if they stop f***ing around.

Gaming thread on QGL? ..

OFF TOPIC!@

Spore looks so good.

ET:QW, Supreme Commander, Spore, Splinter Cell: DA, hellgate: london, NWN2, the tales-namco MMORPG, Sam&Max 2, HL2:aftermath, Alan wake, Oblivion, UT2k7, RE4, Devil May Cry 3: SE...

Looks like a bigger list of must-haves (for me) than last year's rather s***ty PC library.

what the f*** is going on here!!!

S&M2 has been ressurected, AFAIK

Supreme Commander is one I'm looking forward to being a huge TA fan, although RTS games are getting a little stale these days.

Reasons why its worth it to reread your thread title before hitting "post reply" - http://www.gamespot.com/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=24145969

Medieval II: TotalWar, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos, Caesar IV, StarWars: Empire at War....too many to mention.

sam and max was one of those classic lucasarts games from the time before they increased the resolution and all new games looked like dongs

bring back 320 x 240 fta (authenticity)

It's true, but then, PC gamers do tend to be jaded :)

Myself, I'm really looking forward to ET: Quake Wars, Oblivion, UT2K7, OpFlash 2 and some of the racing games.

hhmmmm tempted to get back into games after seeing that....u bastard.

Welcome to 2001

I was impressed with how many specfically PC-oriented releases are in that release - by that I mean titles that aren't multi-platform ones headed for PC plus all the major consoles.

It looks like a good indication that PC gaming is still alive and kicking :)

Oblivion will be game of the year.
