Games I can't wait for:

Zelda Wii U
Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

Games that are likely to come out eventually (hopefully):
Half-Life 3
Left 4 Dead 3
Duke Nukem Begins

I can see that happening. I know when I bought my current computer, I was thinking about going for the "good enough to run this one game I want to play" bare minimum, low cost parts...fortunately, my brother convinced me to spend a little extra for top-of-the-line and my rig's still keeping up.

It doesn't help, though, that the popularity of console gaming means that PC games are no longer pushing the graphical boundaries anymore. At least not like they once were.

DEADLY PREMONTION 2 ! !!

A real gamers game , if you know what I mean? and if your ignorant to what I mean if you really really love mainstream rubbish like Call of Booty , Halo or ass creed etc this game is not for you Yes I'm an elistist scumbag gamer what are you going to do about it

Its not about parts wearing off, my older PC are still running, and I use them as example for watching streaming films and reportages, too be certain my new being not affected by viruses and so on. Problems are, that when there are major technical changes, you hardly can "tune" your PC anymore, so that the costs goes in line with the enhancement you get from buying a part. As example if your mainboard was developed for AGP-3Dcards-sockets, then there is hardly any possibility to really enhance your computer with a new graphic card anymore since about 2007/2008, because of it being limited to the rate of information that can be changed by the graphic card and the Ram devices. So you could easily built and buy a faster working AGP graphic card (if they were still developed, which they arent, because of that problem) and you easily can get faster rams. But the rate of the data that the AGP graphiccard and your RAM can send to each other is still limited to the rate of information the AGP-socket can manage. Which cant be enhanced anymore, due to technical limits. Because of that new AGP graphicards arent developed and instead the now common PCIexpress-graphiccards are supported.

Its also about the kind of games you play. So I dont have any problems, when playing all kind of Single player games or roundbased games, because if there is sometimes some seconds loading, then everything stands still, I, the enemy, the surrounding, its simply like a little pause for everyone. Also tactical games as Starcraft are no problem, because of them being developed as technical easy working Mulitplayer games, so that also players with older PC dont have misadvantages to players with new PCs. While as example for MMORPGS or shooters with great numbers of players, it pretty sucks, because of the games running on own gameservers, so the game goes on, the other players as well, and your character stands around meanwhile, while your PC working on the data. If you are working on endgame enemies and instances in MMORPG 1-2 seconds of your PC working on some special effects, can kill the whole group of players and costs you material that you needed time to acchieve them. With shooters its the same, so I dont think I need to mention the misadvantage of your enemy having 0,5 second more time to react and aim, then you. ^^ My partners and I share anyway our computers, so when we buy a new computer, we buy one together, and keep the other one as well and then use them according to the games we actually play. While his are usually technical more needy (and he is a bit of a graphic whore ^^), I easily can play my adventures, economical or tactical games, or roundbased RPGs without problems on our "old" one. So while one of the PCs is thought to play newer games as well with a bit of good graphic, if we both play as example Battlefield in LAN with friends I am sufficient with the second PC being able to play the game without delays with lesser graphics. While when playing alone, I use the newer one. For most games, even the older PC is able to play it with full graphics, because I normally only buy 1-2 games a year, when they are released, and simply wait for the other games until they are cheaper. Because of that they normally run then easily on the older PC, as example right now I am playing Divinity II, which was developed 2008, so the second PC can manage that easily at highest graphic levels, which is even for such an old game a thousend times better then the actual consoles can do.

Oh geeze, yeah. I'm pretty sure I upgraded my computer in 07 or 08, and AGP was totally dead by then. So instead of just a simple video card upgrade, I had to get a new motherboard, a new CPU to go in it, new RAM to support it, a more powerful power supply, and a new tower case for it to fit into...
