This thread is just about a few (Which actually means a lot) of upcoming games I want, or am at least interested in. For any platform, PC, and Mac, just cool games.

Here's the list, in no particular order, all of them having comments...

Battlefield: Bad Company
The first that comes to mind... I LOVE Battlefield.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
I'm mad. Call of Duty 3 never came out on the Mac. Not even PC, so BootCamp won't work... Call of Duty 4 better be on one of the two.
Crysis
I can't decide if this is better than Alan Wake.
Alan Wake
And I can't decide if this is better than Crysis.
Grand Theft Auto IV
I'm going to love playing as a Russian guy.
Halo 2 Vista
Finally..... But only for Vista?
Halo 3
It WILL eventually come out for the PC, and then Mac with any luck.
Halo Wars
Looks awesome.
Stargate Worlds
Since Stargate SG-1: The Alliance had to get canceled, this will make up for it, I guess...
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
Its been years in the making...
Untitled Dawn of War
I hope its not a Dawn of War 2. Not yet. Add the remaining teams then make Dawn of War 2 with planetary wars and ship battles!
StarCraft 2
I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLE!!!!!
Guild Wars 2
Ha. I still need to get the first.
Lord of the Rings Online
I'm hoping this is good.
Forza Motorsport 2
Looks incredible. The trailer is incredible...
Spider-Man 3
I hope for some new form of gameplay here.
BioShock
Interesting enough. Living maps.
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Here's another where I still need to get the first...
Devil May Cry 4
I only saw parts of the second I think, but I like his weapon
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Awesome stuff!
God of War III
I always wondered why GoW II was only released on the PS2, I guess they knew this was coming.
Half-Life 2: The Orange Box
Yea, I want Episode Two...
Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix
Unexpected, eh? I'm a fan...
Untitled Indiana Jones
I have yet to see a good Indiana Jones game, I hope this is it.
Medal of Honor: Airborne
I haven't really followed the series, but the cinematic gameplay looks awesome.
Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms
Just because its an expansion. And I think the graphics for a game as massive as this are amazing.
Infernal
It looks cool, and its the first game I've heard of with support for the Ageia PhysX card.
Pirates of the Caribbean Online
Its another online game, should be cool.
Mario Party 8
Yea!!! Haha. Mario Party has always been fun
Resident Evil 4
Any game where you kill zombie-ish things is cool.
SimCity 5
This one hit me out of nowhere.
Spore
I'm not sure if its out yet, but I love the idea of creating a race from scratch.
Star Trek Online
Another online game. Fun enough.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
I'm glad Star Wars games aren't dead. And I think its awesome that this fills in the gap from Episode III and A New Hope.
The Simpsons
I wonder what this will be about!
The Sims 3
This should be very fun.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
I think this may be out, but I'm putting it here anyways.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary
I'm betting this will be the best yet.
Transformers: The Game
I can't wait until I can turn from a semi-truck to a mech thing.
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
I love historical games, but this one takes that even further with a historical what-if, traveling down an alternate line.
Unreal Tournament III
Total carnage.
Warhammer 40,000: Online
I love Warhammer 40,000. Love Dawn of War. Love FireWarrior. I'm gonna love this.

Feel free to add whatever other upcoming games you think are cool.

Kind of. I guess I did go a little overboard. But I had fun. Did you at least learn of any upcoming games you weren't previously aware of?

SimCity 5?? Officially announced or just speculation on your part?

I'm hoping they'll port Command & Conquer 3 to Mac. Great game.

Official, I hope. The site I looked at has a November 9th release date, only with no pictures yet. I could believe it though; thats far off. Here is the site.

SimCity 5 for PC - Previews, Reviews, Interviews, Screenshots, Cheats, Release Date

And I concur with C&C 3.

Forza Motorsport 2 for XBOX360 - Previews, Reviews, Interviews, Screenshots, Cheats, Release Date

Trailer and all.

Of course, TF:TG will probably suck.

Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not going to say anything. I'd be a hypocrite to say it will probably suck and then buy it when it comes out.

As a big fan of sports video games I'd say that a sports game is about as much like playing the sport as a WWII shooter is like being a soldier (granted in different ways).

In Madden, for example, you can design the plays, call the plays and play any position on both offense and defense at any time. Plus there's the fantasy aspect of taking on the role of a sports hero. Would I like to be Peyton Manning for a day? Hell YES! Will it ever happen? No, but in Madden I can at least pretend.

Well, all of a sudden I want to play Madden '08. Not so much to play as a hero, but to design the plays and switch positions at any time. I'd like to see how my plays fair against the AI.

But of course.

I think it may have already sold a million copies in pre-orders. If it is available for pre-order yet.

Some kind of link or proof? The Beta for D3 died off about 2003 or so.

I'd be interested in either of the Warhammer games. They had two for PS that weren't bad, just ackward to use a controller for a game that should use a mouse.

Warhammer 40k: Space Hulk was a good concept but the game play blew monkey nuts.

I tried Firehammer but couldn't get into it.

It's probably because I'm an old tabletop 40ker. I'd like to see it be a strategy, not a FPS.
