I can't really think of any games. The medal of honor expansion pack I guess.

And for my PS2 Final Fantasy 11, Gran Turismo 4, Tony Hawk Underground and the still to be announced Grand Theft Auto 4.

Status : Online | Definitely Deus Ex: Invisible War and Hidden and Dangerous 2, and Divine Divinity 2 in the distant future. Possibly Republic: The Revolution, but I've read mixed reviews about that one. Star Wars: KOTOR is supposed to be good as well, though it's not the type of thing I usually play.
There's also a strategy game called Evil Genius that looks interesting, though there's not much information about it. And maybe Sims 2, if you're into that kind of thing?

Ahem...
Other than that,
Evil Genius does look pretty good, as is KOTR (waiting for the PC version of course).
HL2, Halo and Deus Ex : Invisible war (of course), Call of Duty looks pretty good. As does S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Oblivion lost.
The PC version of Silent Hill 3 should also be worth a look I think.
Oh, and the previews I've seen of Ground Control 2 look *amazing* Best looking RTS ever
There's *lots* more but I can't remember half of them off hand!

Status : Online | Okay, there are a lot of games already named that I will play but you asked for some games that someone out there might like to play.
I have always wanted to play the Everquest series and still do but am not willing to play online.
Here are some strategy games that look very good. I don't play strategy, sports or flight simulations.
Anarchy online-Shadowlands or something like that.
Noble Armada
Homeworld 2
Age of Mythology
Rebels: Prison Escape
Strategy seems to be in the front for releasing games so there must be a big demand for them.
Is that what you meant?

Status : Online | I haven't heard anything about another Morrowind expansion (I'm pretty sure Bloodmoon will be the last) but I do know there are rumours that Bethesda are re-releasing the earlier Elder Scrolls games updated to run on modern PC's (which is a good thing, because Daggerfall's dungeon crawls were fantastic).
Divine Divinity 2 should be good too (although I'm not even close to finishing the first game yet!). There's an "in-between" game they are making first (Rift-something or other) which also sounds interesting.

Status : Online | just checked out the Larian.com site....Riftrunner is in the same world as divine divinity with improvements to the engine, and is due out fourth quarter of this year. Looks like a good game! No word yet on when Divine divinity 2 will be out or even if it's begun yet, might just be on the drawing boards.

Was it any good? I have it but never got beyond the very first part.
Thief 3 is due 12/18/03 at EB site.
Think I will find out what Riftrunner is all about.

Status : Online | Didn't know that about a possible third expansion for Morrowind. Excellent news!
DD starts off really slowly but once you get past the initial dungeon and head off into the wilderness it starts to pick up (be careful though - there are no barriers to where you can explore and you can often get in over your head very quickly).
It's worth sticking with it (In fact I really must go back and finish it one of these days).
I quite like the sound of Riftrunner as well. But I really want to finish DD first!
As for Thief 3 - to be honest I'd be very suprised if it was released this year. I think start of 2004 is probably more likely (but I would be VERY happy to be proved wrong!)

Status : Online | i really loved Divine Divinity...played it straight through to the end with nary a break. not a hard game, but very enjoyable, sort of a cross between Baldur's Gate/Ultima 7/Diablo, but with better graphics.
Riftrunner uses the same engine and world, but with enhancements...the developers' site admits they cut some corners with DD due to time constraints, so should be interesting to see the improvements with Rift and DD2.

Actually I need to finish Dungeon Siege. Not a bad game, just that others keep getting in the way.
Right now, after finishing Chaser, went right into Elite Force II.
There is either going to be a bumper crop of Adventure and Shooters in last part of the year or we are all going to be screaming.

But apart from the graphics, I have seen nothing which seperates it from the rest. And that was before I saw the screenies of Half Life 2 and other games which will be released Q4 this year.
