Here’s my list, the system listed on each title is the system I want to get the game for, not all the systems it’s out for. I’m playing Max Payne 2 right now, but it would be #3 if I didn’t have it yet. MP2 is as good as I expected it would be.
1) Half-Life 2 (PC)–(FPS) The single player looks awesome, the multiplayer will likely be something big and I can’t wait to map for it.
2) Deus Ex 2 (PC)–(FPS/RPG) Sequel to my favourite game evar.
3) Final Fantasy XII (PS2)–(J-RPG) I love the art/graphics in these games, the storylines are usually good and hmm, the gameplay is pretty good but I’ll play it for the art and story.
4) Xenosaga Ep. 2 (PS2)–(J-RPG) I really like the look of Ep. 2 but I don’t want to play Ep. 1 so I’m hoping I won’t have had to hear the whole story before hand to enjoy this. Judging from a trailer, it has some breathtaking environments and I like the look of the characters much more than in the previous game.
5) Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic (PC)–(RPG) Looks very interesting, a Bioware RPG with a StarWars setting… I like.
6) World Of Warcraft (PC)–(MMORPG) The only MMORPG I’m currently looking forward to. Too many of them are bland and have worlds full of endless, boring terrain. From the looks of it, this should have the best level design to date in the genre with plenty of landmarks and an actual point to exploring.
7) Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (GC)–(Stealth/Action) I never played the first 3D MGS game, so a remake is the perfect time for me to get into it.
8) Halo 2 (Hopefully PC)-(FPS): I just hope they port it to the PC cause I won’t be getting it otherwise.
9) Star Ocean 3 (PS2)–(J-RPG) I’ve seen some awesome levels for this game and some not-so-good ones, but the battle system looks sweet and it has a theme that I like.
10) Viewtiful Joe (GC)–(Side Scroller) Already out, I’m saving for a wacom tablet right now so I can’t buy it yet but I’ll try and find it later when the price goes down. It looks like the best sidescroller evar.

3)Snake Eater. I don't even have PS2. And I want this game. If SOCOM 2 rocks, I will have to buy a PS2...
4)Halo 2. Breathtaking! Hope its less yawn inducing than the first. NO MORE FREAKIN' LIBRARY!
5)Men of Valor. The Vietnam war era has few decent games. Vietcong being the only one I own. And it's by the guys who did Allied Assault.

Stalker is on my list, but really, I'm getting some feelings right now like "Man...they put out these long **** release dates, then when we get to them, it gets delayed for another year.....or 2....or 4...
But either way, my list is unchanged. While Stalker is probably 7th, Halo 2 8th, and maybe that one mech game with the big **** keyboard 9th(rumors about it on PC).
Don't ask me what 6th is. Its....there. Just....I dunno.
I have to tell you that I'm awaiting Doom 3 more than HL2 at this moment. I need to be scared by a game for once. I need to feel the thrill of gunning down marauding aliens. I need doom 3.

I'm a big fan of both consoles and PCs, they've got their strengths and weaknesses.

You need to throw them away? What now? Most people keep them to play their old favourites later on. And I don’t see the point in keeping lots of old PCs around that don’t run anything well anymore.

I too won't pay to play online games that would be free on the PC, and I much prefer PC for online gaming anyways. If the next gen consoles have built in multiplayer that you don't have to pay for then maybe I'll check it out, though.

Doom *3*. Max Payne *2*. Quake *4*. Deus Ex *2*. Half-Life *2*. Thief *3*. Etc. There are sequels, rehashes and original games on both PCs and consoles, this is an aspect common to all forms of gaming. I agree that Xenosaga had pretty bad character models, I didn't like the graphical style much but the sequel is much better looking. And what do you mean "What's the f**king point [of anime] in a game?" ... It's a graphical style that some people like and some don't, just like any other look that games have.
There are different genres that consoles and PCs are good at. Consoles do fighting games, sports games, side scrollers, old school shooters, Japanese RPGs, third person action and/or stealth games, platformers, racing games and action/adventure games very well. I still like my PC better, but don’t bash consoles, they have their own types of games that they do better than PCs and it is purely a matter of whether or not you like the kinds of games that consoles excel at.
just a question: is windows so inefficient as to not let me play a game at a decent fps when its a port of a console, and my computer is three times faster, matches the video card, has twice the ram, and a biger harddrive? ps. the game is halo

That thing is huge anyways, I'd have trouble fitting it on my desk with all this other junk sitting around (scanner, computer, printer, TV, PS2, GC, CD shelf, etc). If I got an Xbox, I'd probably get Halo 2 (when it’s out), Shenmue 2 and maybe Panzer Dragoon Orta, that’s it. It’s my least favourite current gen system and I have more than enough games to play with the systems I already have, all of my hardware money will be going towards PC parts until the PS3 comes out (although I won’t be buying it right away). <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
Because:
1) Consoles are cash cow machines made for mindless mass-marketing. The fact that you eventually need to throw it away is evidence of that.
2) PCs are and always will be vastly superior to consoles. My favorite is when some kid was pointing out how 'awesome' it will be when the X Box is online... and I'm like: Yo, I already have broadband for my PC, meanwhile you're going to pay EXTRA for a small selection of games to play?
3) Console games are nothing but rehashes now. MGS *3*. Halo *2*. Xenosaga *2* (Barf, the characters in the first one were so freaking stupid looking. Honestly, what's the point of anime in a game? The idea behind the big eyes is to exaggerate expression. What's the f**king point in a game?). etc. etc. the list goes on and on. I swear they only made like 12 original titles and all you get now are sequels because they're totally out of ideas.
In the end it's the games themselves that matter; not what you play them on <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

You need to throw them away? What now? Most people keep them to play their old favourites later on. And I don’t see the point in keeping lots of old PCs around that don’t run anything well anymore.

I too won't pay to play online games that would be free on the PC, and I much prefer PC for online gaming anyways. If the next gen consoles have built in multiplayer that you don't have to pay for then maybe I'll check it out, though.

Doom *3*. Max Payne *2*. Quake *4*. Deus Ex *2*. Half-Life *2*. Thief *3*. Etc. There are sequels, rehashes and original games on both PCs and consoles, this is an aspect common to all forms of gaming.
I agree that Xenosaga had pretty bad character models, I didn't like the graphical style much but the sequel is much better looking. And what do you mean "What's the f**king point [of anime] in a game?" ... It's a graphical style that some people like and some don't, just like any other look that games have.
There are different genres that consoles and PCs are good at. Consoles do fighting games, sports games, side scrollers, old school shooters, Japanese RPGs, third person action and/or stealth games, platformers, racing games and action/adventure games very well. I still like my PC better, but don’t bash consoles, they have their own types of games that they do better than PCs and it is purely a matter of whether or not you like the kinds of games that consoles excel at.
is windows so inefficient as to not let me play a game at a decent fps when its a port of a console, and my computer is three times faster, matches the video card, has twice the ram, and a biger harddrive?
ps. the game is halo

Heh, Max Payne 2 runs better than Halo on the PC ;o Blame Gearbox.
