    Section 8 is too early to call

    the revamp of Wolfenstein

    Tales of Monkey Island and the revamped original

    Despite all the criticism of being a COD clone (which it is), Wolfenstien isn't all that bad, I've played an hour of it and I'll definitely get round to it sometime and have left it installed.

    Arma 2 has taken up all my summer, been playing it flat out since it came out. If its on pc You want to play give the demo a go. Word of warning, performance of the demo is like the unpatched version, but You'll get the general idea.

    How come nobody has mentioned Batman Arkham Asylum? I've not tried it but I'm planning to, looks fantastic.

    I think the PC game secene is really dieing off. I just noticed the latest patch for xfire has support for about 12 new games rathern that the uasual 20 or 25.

    I think the MMO had a lot to do with the death of the PC game industry.

    Nothing has caused the death of the pc game industry....CAUSE ITS NOT DEAD!!

    Sorry, just seeing some people say this kind of thing too often lately. You think i'd be used to it, seeing as people have been saying it....FOR 10 YEARS!!

    Sorry, i get carried away sometimes :P

    The summer is always **** for games. The next couple of months will see some seriously good releases. PC Gaming is pretty much thriving.

    Funny that has disappeared completely off my radar. I must read up on some news about it. Mass Effect 2 looks great as well.

    The two upcoming games that spring to mind for me are firstly, L4D2 - I just cannot wait for it. Secondly OpFlashpoint 2. It will probably be a watered down Arma but I'm still hopeful it will be a great game in its own right.

    While i'm looking forward to L4D2 and some others, Dragons Age is where its really at for me. I've been following it for years now, and the idea of a proper spiritual successor to Baldurs Gate sounds fantastic. There was an article about some of the choices you have to make in the game, and they really effect the way the game plays out. It had some mild spoilers, but still, it was worth reading and really peaked my interest.
