I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on this one. BioWare has always impressed me with their RPGs, and if they're going into the MMO racket, they must surely have a great angle. Stories and characters are the big weaknesses in MMORPGs, so I'll be curious to see how they hope to deal with that.

I was talking with a friend recently about the problem with MMORPGs: they cater to "asshats," whose $15 per month is just as good as anyone else's. These people flourish in MMOs because no one can force them to go away. These are the people that have little to no real-life friends, spend all their time at home, and decide that being an asshat on an MMO is the only way to relieve the pressure. In other words, in any sort of real social setting, these asshats would be made to leave. But online, they endure. Unfortunately, even though their $15 is just as good as anyone else's, it makes people like me take away my $15. Surely I'm not alone.

I'm also curious about Fable 2. I just bought Assassin's Creed last night after finishing BioShock, so I will be playing that for awhile. I've been researching Far Cry 2 but so far haven't seen anything that screams "BUY ME" about it. Apparently, Crysis Warhead is even better than the Crysis, so you might want to get that guys if you're curious about the engine (it's cheaper and better, apparently!)

The only real must-haves on my list right now are Fallout 3, Starcraft 2, and the new Red Alert. I'm definitely going to be playing these. I might also get Diablo 3 when it comes uot.
