What upcoming games are you looking forward to?
As for me, I think these games might be interesting: Warhammer Online, Spore, Bio Shock, Hellgate: London (I would also check out Mythos), and Age of Conan (maybe).
Defiantly Spore for me.
Crysis, Guild Wars 2
Spore and whatever the 3 games blizzard announces are.
Spore and Crysis.
StarCraft 2!

What I "hear" is that Blizzard will no longer touch Diablo. Also, Blizzard is stepping away from the RTS market.
MMO's are where Blizzard will continue making its money. Maybe a StarCraft MMO?
I thought the Diablo books' author said he "ain't writing for a dead game."

Well what ever North is working on will probably be a good one.

Where have you been Mr. Blizzard Fan Boy? Blizzard North no longer exists.
Psh, that's a cover. Blizzard North is now an elite cult running Blizzard from the shadows. They're slowly infiltrating the government system by putting subliminal messages in the games we play, so when we get older and become more important people, they'll have complete control over us all!

Blizzard North still exists?
Not anymore.

They lace the CD's with nanobots and when you open the case, they fly into the air and enter your brain. Then once they get enough people, they hit a button and we all turn into mindless zombies and burn down every government building

How do you know Blizzard is moving away from the RTS market? It doesn't seem logical, from a money and business perspective, to quit doing something that you rank #1 at. Personally, I'd like to see another Blizzard RTS - unless it resembles warcraft 3, which I thought sucked.

That about sums up what I would have said.
Warcraft: Heroes of Azeroth (http://www.blizzard.com/whoa/) was just announced. Can't wait to try this out
They basically took the World of Warcraft concept, and made it into a game like Starcraft, so it's a real-time strategy game. I like the gameplay of Starcraft, and the storyline of Warcraft, so this is going to be a great mix. You can play as four different races, unlike Starcraft.
The great thing about this is there's no subscription fee and you can play on Battle.net, unlike World of Warcraft
Well, if it's a real-time strategy, follows the Warcraft story lines and has similar gameplay to Starcraft - doesn't that make it just another Warcraft III, but like Warcraft IV ?
afaik when blizzard north was completely fired and sc ghost was finally trashed that pretty much summed up the rest of that crap. Diablo 3 had been placed in a WoW engine but ended with the firing. Any game the blizzard came out with right now would hurt the WoW community that is much more profitable to build up. Not to mention they have one obvious expansion in WoW left and potential for way more. Kind of sucks since I don't play anymore but oh well. Unreal Tournament 3 is probably the next game ill buy and get a new laptop for~
