Edit: The
poll is now posted!
What games do you plan to buy in 2006? It would be interesting to see the thoughts of Shrapnel forumers, so before I make a poll, please add the names of games you want included... games released in late 2005 are OK too. Links to homepages, good fansites, and good (p)reviews are welcome!
I have various reasons for posting this, but most importantly, it is so that everyone can see what games other people (with similar interests) are anticipating - and thus, discover excellent games of which they were ignorant. Therefore, posting indy games, debuts from small developers, and small niche games are encouraged... along with links to information. GameRankings.com might give Grand Theft Auto a
95% average and Resident Evil 4 a stunning
96% average, but I'd never consider buying either game, and the opinions of Shrapnel fans would be much more useful.
If any Shrapnel developers want me to add or remove their games, please send me a pm or just mention it in the thread; and feel free to link to this thread in your forum. I don't track all the games here so I don't know which ones are new or upcoming...
