At the end of every month (I’m a day late this time), I’ll post a list of the next month’s most anticipated PC games being released. This will not be a comprehensive list (sorry, but “Nancy  Drew: Ultimate Bundle” will probably not make it) but I’ll try to make sure that I mention any game you would be sad if you forgot about. Of course you’re welcome to use the comment section to add your selection, and if any particular game causes substantial commotion, I will add it to the list. So without further ado, here it is, in order from most anticipated to substantially less anticipated:

The Legend: Hand of God website shows a quote which states: “Legend will make you as addicted as Diablo, it is as beautiful as Prince of Persia…”

Somehow I doubt it…I was pretty addicted to Diablo…but I guess we’ll see.

Stalker: Clear Sky — Well, all I can say is “let’s hope it’s as good as ‘Shadow of Chernobyl’  !!!!”

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames looks very promising. The whole concept of mercenaries and video games should be a no-brainer: Kill for money, use money to upgrade weapons and armor, make more money……it just works! That’s one of the reasons that ‘Mechwarrior II: Mercenaries’ was such a great game.

Space Siege — A space version of ‘Dungeon Siege’ ???……Sounds good to me.

Code of Honor 2: Conspiracy Island — Kind of a lame title imo. Hopefully the game won’t be quite as cheesy. But I never played the original so I’m in no position to judge. Let me know if I’m out of line on this one.

Shattered Suns just barely made the list. The gamplay video available online wasn’t anything too impressive, and the graphics weren’t that stunning either. However, it is possible that these have been improved since the video was made.

And there you have it. The August releases you need to know about. Kind of a sparse month I know, but just to give you a heads-up, the next few months look to be much more exciting.
