Well, the tidal wave is about upon us now.
Age of Empires 2
Baldur's Gate 2
MythIII

should all be out by the end of October, with Myth coming in during november. So, anyone going to get these games too? (note: these are just the games that I am going to get this fall.) that is if I can find time to play them...

I would probably get AoE2, but I'm hopelessly addicted to Diablo II... MOO II has gone out the window for the moment...

I've played AoE2 and it's a great RTS. I guess the key question is, is it compatible for network play with the PC version... That will make a big difference. Are they releasing the expansion pack with it also, or is that slated for later?

I might be interested in Baldur's Gate 2, but I need to get around to starting/finishing the first one...

And although those sound like nice games, can we PLEASE get some good versions of UT, SiN, and Eilte Force (which is right around the corner) on 10.1?! I mean GOOD versions. 30fps is just great for me and my system, so give it up!!

okay...UBB just ate my post so here is the quick version. From what I know AoE2 does include the expansion. I say skip BG1, because 2 picks up where it leaves off, when the game gets really interesting level 7 or so.

They are currently posrting UT, which runs well enough on my system, dont' know about Sin or EF, though I suspect they dont' have enough users to make it worth while.
