Hey,
I know there's been a few of these threads in the past, but considering new games come out rapidly, I figured it was okay to start another one. If not, feel free to lock it mods, and my apologies. So what are your favorite games of all time (since it's too hard to pick just one). Mine:

-Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
-Rome: Total War
-Ratchet and Clank series

Also, which upcoming games are you most looking forward too? Me:
-Spore
-Assassin's Creed

What about you?

Looking forward to Battlefield 2142 (or whatever the year is). And Command and Conquer 3.

Defcon.
The second generation of Wii games (first gen are always a bit weak in comparison).
Other than that, I suppose Spore, but I know that I'll just end up playing it obsessively for 1-2 weeks and then put it away.

I can't honestly say I'm looking forward to any...oh wait, except Spore. Can't wait for that. But since I don't have a console, and can't buy FPSes...

I can basically only buy about 25% of games...

@Tinkergirl - Wow that game looks great!

I'm most looking forward to Splinter Cell IV and Super Mario Galaxy. Crysis looks cool too, as does Halo 3. And Madden 07 of course, but I'm a little biased about it

I'm personally wondering how long it'll be before Defcon is banned from the office where I work - it's been designed for 'stealth play' on office networks. Easy to minimise, runs in the background and lets you know when something important happens.
Sneaky sneaky sneaky. I will set them up the bomb.

Ground Zero may be okay.
Darkstar One - meh.
UT 2007 - maybe interesting.
Supreme Commander - Should be good.
Res 4 - Same here too.
Test Drive Unlimited - may be worth a look.
Rainbow 6 - Only if it has multiplayer coop.
Broken Sword 4 - bring it on!
C&C 3

Thats my Most Wanted list up until March next year - as you can see there isn't much, mainly because there's little that interests me

If you're referring to Madden, why would they give up? It's the largest selling sports franchise in North America I'm not much of a Madden fan, but I appreciate it.

Trip Hawkins was a very smart businessman back in the 80's when he signed Madden to EA.

I can't talk about the new features, but seeing as how it's the only licensed NFL game then that's something no other football game has

I don't understand sports games, lol, especially when someone buys more than one of each kind (ie: Madden '07 and NCAA '07). They're all practically the same, and then from year to year they add a feature and tweak the models and call it a new game . That's just me, I'm not into sports .

They only made the 3rd one, first 2 were Looking Glass. I thought eidos did a good job, much better than i expected. You know about that huge fan expansion package? its like a whole new version of thief. (requires thief 2)

But yea, Thief is my favorite game. I haven't heard of anything coming out that I'm looking forward to. Hmm, Duke Nukem? (long ass wait on that one)
