Cool Upcoming [Or So They Seem] Games ...


-- (Mature) -- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.



Yes, it's another acronym ala F.E.A.R. ... but, it's okay. This one's cool ... and looks fabulous. Next-gen, and should be coming out soon ... hopefully. It's set a few years in the future where you're a S.T.A.L.K.E.R., an elitist battling against other AI elitists that are heading towards Chernobyl (home of the past nuclear accident) to unravel the mystery having to do with newly found mutant (not to mention radioactive) creatures there. 'Looks pretty cool, I'd have to say myself. You can find out more about it at their site, check out the trailers at Gamespot, and look at a few of my screenshots below:


-- (Mature) -- Hellgate: London


From the actual creators of Diablo 2, this is a 3D RPG that looks really, really beautiful. Next-gen-or-so, obviously. Now, you might read this and think, 3D RPG? Isn't the Diablo 2? No. It isn't. Diablo 2 had 2D characters in a 3D world. This is fully 3D. It's like a Painkiller RPG but more ... futuristic. It's really cool: trust me. Visit their site and download the trailer at Gamespot. Oh, and check out the screenshots:




-- (Teen) -- Tabula Rasa


I honestly don't know much about this game, besides that it's supposed to become a kick-ass MMO. I've heard about it for awhile, and the title is Latin for "blank slate". Read more about it at the developer's website and check out my screenshots below:



-- (Mature) -- Duke Nukem Forever


We've all eard about DNF for awhile now, haven't we? We've heard the "it's-done-when-it's-done" bit a few times now, we've seen the engine change from the '98 version to the 2001 E3 showing, and we've seen more than enough rumors floating around about it. When will it actually be out? Has it actually been cancelled? I have no damn clue. I've provided enough info: you fill in the rest.
