Small briefs about the games I really looking forward to in the near future in chronological order:

BioShock (First Person Shooter, horror, sci-fi)
The game's plot is about restoring some disaster in an under-sea city built by a scientist. The gameplay will involve using anything the environment offers as a weapon (whatever that means). Also, it will have different ways to fool enemies, control them to fight among themselves and stuff. Its going to be a little strategic in nature. The reason this game is hyped so much that its developed by people which made System Shock 2, and that game kicked asses. This game is about to be released on 24th august already.


Halo3 (First Person Shooter)
Though HALO series' graphics have been sucking hardcore from the begining with the pathetic performance on hardware adding to the frustration, the developers 'Bungie' got away with it by putting a good plot and excellent gameplay. The whole series is a good exempler to the thot that a game should have good gameplay to be called good. Graphics matter very little. To be released only on 360 on Sept 25. Will somehow have to manage access to an xbox 360, May be will try for an internship in M$ for this :-S


Half Life 2 Episode 2 (First Person Shooter)
I dont need to tell the plot, everyone knows. The series follows as HL, HL2, HL2-ep1, and now HL2-ep2. The game has a riveting plot with many questions unawnsered. The best part of HL games, is the gameplay. The game emerged as the best game ever made when a wonderful story was interleaved with it. To know the story properly you may visit saga website. Set to be released on Oct 9. Also called the Orange/Black box.


Need For Speed ProStreet (Driving)
You can also call it NFS-11. This game is going to be in daylight as oppose to last game, carbon. Also a good part about the gameplay is the feel of extreme speed; If you have seen the gameplay sample videos, you will know. The graphics engine will involve a very good and realistic model of smoke. Set to release at the usual Need for Speed quater 4th: Oct 30. Its coming pretty early this time btw.


Crysis (First Person Shooter)
Crysis is the most hyped game I have ever heard in my life. Why shouldn't it be? If you look at the screenshots, they are vivid and stunning. Its going to be a graphics master piece. The plot goes very simple as some aliens are planning an invasion on earth but futuristic marines have to make the invaders retreat. This game's marketing includes the mention of Crytek, who developed FarCry as well. This is set to release on Nov 16.


Condemned 2 (First Person Action)
I am going to play this game only because I want to know what happens to the main character from Condemned. This is not a really good game however has an important element of only meelee weapons usage. To be released between Jan to April 2008.


Spore (Strategy, MMO)
This is a totally different game I am going to try. Spore is all about evolution. You have to evolve from an amoeba into an intelligent species capable of travelling through space between planets, may be invading them or making them your ally. You can be a darth vader as well in this whole setting with some rebellion finally tearing you down by destroying your death star. Set to release somewhere between april and july 2008.


Fear 2 (First Person Shooter)
FEAR's gameplay was one of the best I have ever played. Slowing down time (factually, you increase your response time) and then killing enemies is fun. However you have to manage your response time energy to fight with many enemies. The response time can be also be used to dodge rockets/bullets. Dont know, as much is not releaved on how the next will be in the series.


Dreamfall Chapters (Adventure)
The Longest Journey with its sequel Dreamfall involved one of the best stories I have heard in my life, carrying a lot of emotions as well which you never get to see in video games. Dreamfall Chapters will be released as 3 episodes following the cliff hanger ending of Dreamfall.


Rage (First Person Shooter + Driving)
ID Software finally thought of keeping Doom, Quake, Wolf aside and thought of something totally new. Rage will show a post apcalyptic world trying to recover from wounds it gave to itself (wars). Graphics will feature 'Mega-texture' technology which is not a big deal technically but will deliver very vibrant graphics. It will mostly produce variety to the landscapes but I really think it will get ignored by gamers. But ID software games have always kicked ass and this will as well.


Half Life 2 Episode 3 (First Person Shooter)
After Episode 2, this is going to be next episode. I dont really like this episodic nature, as they are taking as much time as creating a whole game to release an episode, when its meant to come in short period of times. release date to be announced, I think it will come in 2009 or later.
