Picked up this list from Next-Gen:
http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8618&Itemid=2
I believe they were listed in order of release date. The number next to the game is my personal excitement meter (10 = OMG OMG OMG must play now!!)
Can you count all the MMOs on the list?
1. Sam & Max: Season Two episodes (3 -- though I was a big fan way back in the day)
2. Pirates of the Burning Sea (2 -- I'm not the MMO type)
3. Sins of a Solar Empire (5)
4. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (5 -- MMO is a minus, Conan is a plus -- Conan past gaming history tells me this will be meh)
5. Far Cry 2 (6)
6. Stalker: Clear Sky (7)
7. Europa Universalis: Rome (7)
8. Left 4 Dead (8 -- co-op zombie goodness)
9. Spore (6)
10. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (2)
11. Space Siege (7)
12. Tiberium (4)
13. Fallout 3 (9)
14. The Agency (5)
15. Aion: Tower of Eternity (5)
16. APB (6)
17. Dragon Age (6)
18. Empire: Total War (6)
19. StarCraft 2 (5 -- I feel very alone with my lack of excitement for this game)
20. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (5 -- Just never got into it...NinjaJ on the other hand...)
Copied from my post on the Chaos forums:
PC Most Wanted * The Agency * Starcraft 2 * Warhammer Online * Wrath of the Lich King PC Maybe * Huxley * Left For Dead

Don't really care.
I rediscovered single RPGs.
The WORLD has doubled in the greatest MMO ever LotRo... I think I might even have to build yet another NEW Champion. I'm a Lifer at LotRO so I can waste my time trying WAY sub-par games like Tabula Rasa then go home to Middle Earth any time I like.
GWs - Still loving it.
I know a lot of MMOers... HATE GWs... But a lot of them LOVE the 'MMO for beginners' WoW. Their opinions don't count because they are still in MMO kindergarden
What do I want to look at?
Conan - saw it at CES 2 years ago and was blown-way by the clarity and underwhelmed by the art direction and less than stellar world and OK let's be honest ------- their less than interested sales agents kinda turned me off to AoC too.
I KNOW nothing about WarHammer... But yeah gotta try it and see what everyone else is raving about

The claim to fame in Warhammer Online s that they took the PvP formula (Dark Age of Camelot) and applied it to a well known brand (Warhammer). The ability to entirely level up based on PvP is all I've really heard about it.

Wow, can't say I agree with that list. Having played the first season of Sam and Max, it's probably top two on my most anticipated list. The guys at Tell-Tale have kept everything fun about adventure games and gotten rid of all the tedious crap that drove all but the hardcore away. Spore on the other hand has looked less and less impressive each time I've seen it. Here's hoping it hasn't been too long in the oven (ala Daikatana).
The only game I want so far, is Starcraft 2! I just hope they balance out the game. I still think Protoss are cheap. Oh well.
Check out thread for graphic requests: Thread
Personally, I'm all about the Zergling rush, so hopefully that's still an option.
From that list I will probably get:
Sam & Max: Season Two episodes
Far Cry 2
Stalker: Clear Sky
Left 4 Dead
Spore
Space Siege
Dragon Age
Tiberium
Fallout 3
Not on the list that I'll probably get:
Alone in the Dark
Turok
The Club
Devil May Cry 4
Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
Frontlines: Fuel of War
Conflict: Denied Ops

Outside of the 1.5 years alpha and beta testing MxO ... I'm really NOT a huge PvPer and if I were I'd be far more involved in GWs the indisputable PWNage of MMO PVP.
I have to admit I SOOOO loved owning the little fanbois in the 001 Archives... and especially when NO one would believe I was a girl. In MxO (The Matrix Online) I was one of about 5 girls that actually made it from Alpha to to beta. I brought SIX girls to Alpha and they all wimped OUT!
There isn't a computer built yet that can actually properly display and play MxO...
Conan is just a Shadow of the beauty that is Lord of the Rings Online.
Winner of just about EVERY award ever plus some that were invented JUST for LotRO!
Top 10 Most Anticipated PC Games.
1. Amorous Professor Cherry
2. Cosplay Fetish Academy
3. Family Project ~Kozaku Keikaku~
4. Lightning Warrior Raidy
5. Pure x Cure
:D
Oh man, G-Nitro is a tough cat to follow....
This is the year of the sequel, as all my highly anticipated games are follow ups of some sort.
Definitely liking Sam & Max even more this season.
I am strongly focusing on my core loves - RPG and FPS - this year, and hope that a number of indie RPG's hit as well as stuff like Dragon Age, Fallout 3 (even though I hate Oblivion and feel Bethesda will likely piss on my memory of Falout), Two Worlds expansion, STALKER expansion, and so on ...
