minignome:
D&D online is an oddball game. They probably wouldn't have stuck it with the MMORPG tag if WoW wasn't out there. D&D online is more like NWN with multiplayer and no single player.
You have to group up to complete most quests which can be fun or a pain in the ass. The mechanics of the game are really interesting where if there is something you think might help, they probably programmed it in. Example: swimming. If you take off your armor you can swim faster and farther. Nobody tells you this so it's pretty funny the first time your group goes for a long swim and one out of five guys makes it.
Overall, I think the game isn't worth it at this time in it's current state. There are only 10 levels so if you really enjoy the game and play it a lot, you can hit level 10 in 2-3 weeks I think. Most MMORPGs have a lot of high end content to keep you busy at the top level and make you rush throught the leveling. D&D online is more about playing through each level and I don't really know if there is much to do once you hit the max level.
Switchblade:
Battlefield 2142
Bunnyman:
Hmm...
STALKER (Even if it's in "Shit, let's make it somewhat playable to get it out before 2007" state, as THQ is demanding)
Gears of War
Half-Life 2: Aftermath
To be honest, I'm too game-jaded at this point. I like sifting through the detritus of yesteryear and playing awesome games that are more than, oh, 2 years old.

man, ok. I'm gonna paste something from my LJ here because it's pertinent to the conversation:

CONTENDER #1: GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS II
CONTENDER #2: STAR WARS: EMPIRE AT WAR
#1 - Galactic Civilizations II
Downloaded this game, played it for a bit, realised it was worth my money. I bought it online and plugged the serial number into the game. Since then have played a bunch more fun games and downloaded a couple of patches that have fixed a few bugs and added a bunch of delicious new spaceship parts for the designer.
#2 - Star Wars: Empire at War
Downloaded this game, installed it. Downloaded the v1.02 patch, ran it. The patch deleted a bunch of files needed to run the game, then exited with the phrase "Unknown Error!". I uninstalled the game, sat cursing at my screen for five minutes, then loaded up Galactic Civilizations II.
WINNER: GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS II

Star Wars: Empire at War may or may not be a good game for all I know, I couldn't get the fucking thing to work. I'd be very very very pissed off right about now though if I had gone out and bought a legit copy and had that shit happen to me. Seriously wondering whether to try again and try to play it pre-patch so that I can at least see if it's worth my money, or if I should just cut my losses and enjoy GalCiv2 some more.
nihilist:
Sounds like the issues I had with the new Lord of the Rings game. Just said... FUCK THAT NOISE and moved on. GalCiv was okay for a while, but nowhere near as expansive as Homeworld 2. Now THAT was my kind of game. Mmm.
Snagged me Oblivion. But I just finished working. And am still setting up a Linux server. So no go till tomorrow, at best.
