    This Reluctant Hero sounds pretty damn interesting. Is it a hack n slash or something more?

    And don't forget that rumor about NWN 2 X3.

    It's supposed to have actual C&C.
    Lead designer wanted a completely non-violent playthrough to be an option, but I recall publishers not being happy with the idea.

    I lack the wit to put something hilarious here
    These ones interest me:

    Diablo 3
    Deathspank
    Reluctant Hero
    Eschalon: Book2
    Age of Decadence
    The Broken Hourglass
    Risen

    Not a bad year for RPGs.

    Waiting for Disciples III and Age of Decadence.

    What do you think of Eschalon Book 1? I might get the game if it's worth it...

    EDIT: Playing the demo right now. I think it might get boring later on...

    I realized that was a dumb question after I posted it. You've already demonstrated combat in videos, so it would have to be playable to be worth even mentioning.

    Anyway, cool. This is pretty much the only game I'm really looking forward to this year. Rock on.

    I would bet money Diablo 3 won't be out till 2010.

    Starcraft 2...yes.

    Diablo 3...no.

    The only "Fo' Sure" thing on that list for me is AoD. There are several that I will look very closely at though.

    I dont think Diablo 3 will come out this year but its one of the game i will definitely keep and eye on with Eschalon Book 2, Deathspank and AoD.

    I never heard of Not the time for Dragons and Warrior epic and that is not necessarily a good sign.

    The amount of quality indie games is amazing. This will be a good year for indie developers.

    You won't be seeing any of them any time soon. Probably never since they're vaporware.
