<a href="http://www.gamerspulse.com/">Gamer's Pulse</a> has posted up their <A href="http://www.gamerspulse.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=128&page=1">Top Ten RPGs to look forward to</a> article, which is mostly console drivel, but they put the <A href="http://www.master-creating.de/">master creating</a> cyberpunk/sci-fi CRPG, <A href="http://www.restricted-area.net/">Restricted Area</a> on <A href="http://www.gamerspulse.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=128&page=3">page 3</a>, along with <A href="http://www.swkotor.com">Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</a>. Since the latter's getting enough hype already, here's a clip about <a href="http://www.restricted-area.net">Restricted Area</a>:

<blockquote>According to the developers, Restricted Area plays similarly to Diablo ? emphasizing quick combat and intuitive controls along with plenty of monster slaying and dungeon exploration. In addition to computer-generated dungeons and sub-quests, an innumerable amount of unique items is promised. There are two main item types that correlate to character improvement: "Cyberware" and "Bioware". Both act as the armor or special items found in traditional RPGs, while weapons, consumable goods (med kits, etc), and quest items are all present in typical form. </blockquote>

What's sad is that <A href="http://www.troikagames.com/toee.htm">Temple of Elemental Evil</a> isn't on this list, but gobs of crappy console games are. Ugh.

Oh yes, I'm really looking forward to a rehash of the 2 year old Phantasy Star Online and yet another generic hack and slasher for the XBox. They've sure got my pulse read.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought, only I would have pretty much added all the console ones to that list.

Seriously, though, if Restricted Area is the only PC CRPG you can name that looks interesting this year, then you need to put down that console controller and open your eyes. Restricted Area looks interesting, but there's also Temple of Elemental Evil, Golden Land, Sea Dogs 2, Geneforge 2, Space Empires: Stary Fury, and more.
