I saw a console and handheld version but no PC version. And while some continue to say it, I don't believe PC gaming to be dead. So here are a few of the good PC titles which are currently slated for Fall/Winter of this year. I did the best I could making the list complete, but if I forgot anything, just mention it in a reply .
The Guild 2
Successor to Europa 1400, The Guild 2 hopes to bring economic and social strategy to the next step. This isn't the struggle of nations, but the struggle to create a personal dynasty using any means necessary. The game features an all new 3D engine, simpler interface, and ability to compete for control of five different towns instead of just one like the first title.
Hands down the title I'm most excited about this year, Europa 1400: The Guild was one of the most addictive games I have ever played and offered something that was truly different from other games on the market. The Guild 2 promises to do everything on a larger scale and with more depth to it, I can't wait to get a hold of this game.
Crysis
Crysis is a freaking amazing looking game. You want next-gen? This is it. IGN
Neverwinter Nights 2
the graphical improvements alone make Neverwinter Nights 2 appealing, and the idea that it should feature a much stronger single-player story (which was one of the original game's weaker sections) has us excited--especially because the folks responsible for making it are also responsible for excellent RPGs such as Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment. Neverwinter Nights was already a great game, and Neverwinter Nights 2 looks to improve upon its predecessor in all regards. Gamespot
Company of Heroes
While World War II has been played out in countless videogames, and more specifically a few RTSs, this particular title stood out last E3 thanks to some stunning visuals, advanced AI, and great potential for environmental gameplay. IGN
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
The game looks great, the control scheme is straightforward and robust, and the level of immersion (thanks to Source) looks simply unprecedented due to the interaction of normal, real-world physics and magic. The Arkane Studio guys clearly care about what they're making, and have the skills to make great single-player RPGs. The detail of the various weapons and magical effects didn't hurt either. 1up
Gothic III
Gothic III looked pretty impressive again. It's a lesser known and lesser played series here in the states but it definintely warrants some attention from the RPG crowd. It's open-ended gameplay should turn on anyone that was a fan of the recent Oblivion release and even hold some advantages over it. IGN
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent
So far, the newest Splinter Cell seems to be upholding the positive elements of the series' long-established stealth formula, and it's adding in some new design elements that we hope will keep things fresh. We're still very curious to find out how the purportedly moral decisions in the game will affect your progress, since Ubi reps have implied that what you do will determine what game content you get to experience to some extent. Gamespot
Caesar IV
it looks like Tilted Mill has learned more than a few lessons from Children of the Nile. The game is taking the best element of that game, intelligent citizens, and incorporating it back into classic Impressions-style gameplay. Gamespy
Battlefield 2142
The rather quick impression that we got from playing Battlefield 2142 is that it's a whole lot like Battlefield 2, only with futuristic weapons and vehicles. That's not a bad thing at all, especially since DICE could very easily have messed up its nicely worked formula. Granted, there are a number of cool additions that sets the game apart from said sequel, like the ability to set up custom weapon load outs via a handy drag-and-drop menu, and of course, the new Titan mode, but it took us no time getting used to the vehicles we tried as they mimic the classic Battlefield vehicles in basically all but look. IGN
Anno 1701/1701 A.D.
Sunflowers really wanted to make Anno 1701 easy for new players, but deep enough that it is still difficult for the veterans. Thanks to the interface and open-ended gameplay, players can get by without using all the features, but seasoned players can get into the politics and really experience everything the game has to offer. Gamezone
A game I'm actually looking forward quite a lot, as many other Europeans are. The Anno-series for me has always had a certain charm that I can't quite place. And aside from that the gameplay is more than solid and is quite accessible and thus doesn't force me to spend hours just reading manuals. Hopefully this entry in the series will do better in the US than 1602 and 1503 did.
Sid Meier's Railroads!
Following on the success of Pirates! Firaxis is back with another exclamatory title from Sid Meier's past. The new version of Sid Meier's Railroads!, due out this fall, is on display here at E3 and, from what we've seen, the team has taken the good lessons learned from Pirates! and Civilization IV and applied them to recreating the granddaddy of all tycoon games. IGN
I personally loved Railroad Tycoon and anything coming from Sid Meier just has to be good, so I'm looking forward to this title a lot. Hopefully it will receive more of an update to it's gameplay than Pirates! did though.
Medieval 2: Total War
Medieval 2: Total War continues to impress not only for its engine but for the gameplay tweaks that have been included in this newest addition to the family. IGN
Armed Assault
A spiritual sequel to Operation Flashpoint (Bohemia can't continue the franchise as the rights to OFP are with Codemasters). Armed Assault has the same basic gameplay. Large scale, tactical and realistic combat. However, Armed Assault is set in a modern day world, the campaign will be longer and the map will be quite a bit larger even than in OFP. It's set on a Korean-type island that's split in two between a totalitarian state with Russian weaponry and an American-backed democracy.
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
More crack for the 6 million addicts, guaranteed to rope in more noobs and lapsed players alike. 1up
