GameSpy's Most Wanted 2005

I just finished going through this article and I thought it was great in summing up some of the more exciting releases coming this year for both console and PC. I skipped to the PC section myself as it goes by platform, and was delighted to find that I am actually interested in nearly every game on their list. Check it out for yourselves:

The highlights for me are The Longest Journey 2, Black & White 2, and Age of Empires 3... I suppose I can put up a poll

Freedom Force then TLJ 2.

Battlefield 2

From that list I picked AoE3, though I'm not that fired up about any of them.

I read this also, and found it pretty interesting. One thing that I noticed, however, is that it looks like games listed in their general "Top 20 Most Wanted" section were not listed in the platform-specific sections; that's why some huge names like Battlefield 2 and F.E.A.R. aren't in the PC section (they're on the Top 20 list). That seemed a bit odd to me; it makes the platform-specific sections sort of a "best of the rest" thing. Not a huge deal; just something to keep in mind.

Doom 3 Expansion. Doom was my second (Rome was first) favorite game of the year.

Freedom Force, KOTOR II, Longest Journey.

I picked City Of Villains. 'Cause I need to be bad!

Poor Black and White 2 is getting no love.

Oblivion. If it doesn't make it in 2005, then shift that to KOTOR, which was tied with TLJ2. SWAT4 has the potential to be on that list, but it depends on what they do with it.

Is there really any reason to believe that it will make 2005?

Freedom Force and The Longest Journey 2 are both day one purchases for me. The originals of both are two of my favorite games.

CeeKay · Post by **CeeKay** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 7:53 pm

F.E.A.R and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but their not on the list, and I'm not sure if they are in that article. There's so many 'Most aniticpated 2005' I lose track.

They're both in the general "Top 20 Most Wanted" section - see my comment above (it certainly was a bit confusing the way they did this).

Jeff V · Post by **Jeff V** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 8:11 pm

None of the above. World at War, Russo-Japanese War, Anglo-German War, Silent Hunter 3, Dominions 3, Sicily/Salerno/Anzio, and whatever Tiller's next Napoleonic game is.

They haven't set a date yet - it isn't too likely, but it is possible.

What is this, no DNF. That would be my choice.

setaside · Post by **setaside** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:03 pm

The Movies is my most anticipated of 2005.

Edmond · Post by **Edmond** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 2:36 am

No Guild Wars?

Kraken · Post by **Kraken** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 10:52 am

Man, am I ever getting jaded. "None of the above." If Civ4 ships in '05, as I expect, then that's the only one.

dbt1949 · Post by **dbt1949** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 10:57 am

I see no turned based on the list.So none of the above for me too.

Hetz · Post by **Hetz** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 11:56 am

Err...no Elder Scrolls 4?

Bah! What kind of list is this???

I guess, Age of Empires 3, out of that rather lame list.

Yes, there is a very good chance...since they want it to be one of the first titles (probabily a launch title) on the new Xbox 2 and that comes out this year.

Azhure · Post by **Azhure** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 11:59 am

Nothing on that list. I'm looking foward to Stronghold 2 which is expected to be released in April, after that nothing particularly until Civ4 probably late this year.

JayG · Post by **JayG** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 12:14 pm

F.E.A.R, GTA; San Andreas, Bioshock and maybe Star Wars:Empire at War. The space battles look amazing, and a lot of ex-westwood are working on it. And the Movies as well, as I think it has great possibilities. And of course Gothic 3, the german version of which is due this year. Especially as all the great looking RPGs are due next near.

Gwar21 · Post by **Gwar21** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 1:26 pm

That is a tough, tough choice. I voted for City of Villains, but I'm also very interested in Age of Empires 3, KotOR2, and FF vs. 3rd Reich, as well as many of the others that have been mentioned that aren't on the list.

CSL · Post by **CSL** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 2:24 pm

I already got my most anticipated.....Hearts of Iron 2

The Mad Hatter · Post by **The Mad Hatter** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 4:37 pm

Auto Assault - a massively multiplayer auto combat game. That could be fun if it's done well. There hasn't been a good one like that since Interstate'76.

Samurai · Post by **Samurai** » Sun Jan 23, 2005 3:27 am

Tough choice between Swat 4 and AOE3, but SWAT wins out.

godhugh · Post by **godhugh** » Sun Jan 23, 2005 11:01 am

As silly as it sounds I'm really looking forward to Black & White 2. That game had so much going for it and with just a few tweaks it could really be something great.

moss_icon · Post by **moss_icon** » Sun Jan 23, 2005 2:36 pm

kotor2 is the only one on there that i am interested in at all. i haven't even heard of some of those!

I'm not alone anymore!

And I never even played the original.

Call of Cthulu

(if it makes it) Serious Sam 2 -- COOP baby!

hitbyambulance · Post by **hitbyambulance** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 6:00 am

B&W2, TLJ2 and FF2 on that list

STALKER is still the one i'm most excited about, tho.

So did Serious Sam: The Second Encounter not "officially" count as Serious Sam 2, or what?

No; it was essentially SS1 with some tweaks and new levels.

SS2 and TLJ2 are tied for my #1 spot. Then UT2006 the following year. Mmm; more UT goodness...
