THG Holiday Game Previews

Plenty of interesting stuff to look forward to there.
Age Of Empires III
Dunno – never really got into the AoE series. Might borrow it from a friend to tinker with but doubt I’ll spend much time on it.
Black And White 2
Played B&W but never really finished it (got kinda frustrated trying to control the damn pet). This seems much closer to a RTS than B&W was but dunno if that’ll be enough to make me buy it.
Brothers In Arms: Earned In Blood
Not really into war games, especially single player ones.
Call Of Duty 2
See above.
Civilization IV
Hard to say. I was a big fan of Civ1, but Civ2 and 3 really left me feeling they weren’t much more than a facelift. I do wonder how much truly new stuff will be in Civ4. Wait and see I guess.
Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
Layani loved The Longest Journey. This one will be a must buy for her.
F.E.A.R.
Certainly looks interesting, but I think I’ll prefer Hellgate:London.
Quake 4
I dunno. Happy that Raven is developing it rather than id but after the emptiness that Doom3 left in me compared to HL2 this has slipped from “must buy” at the moment.
Star Wars: Empire At War
Interesting idea of space+ground combat, but dunno if that’ll make me buy it.
