I would have gladly put Spore on this list... but to be on this list, it actually has to COME OUT in 2007.
Wow, no wonder I don't play PC games anymore, there's isn't a single title on the horizon (aside from Will Wright's "Spore") that I want to play. "PC Gamer" magazine has been pissing me off lately too; they're so arrogant about how powerful the PC is and how much better the graphics are over consoles (if you have the cash to shell out on the best graphics card, that is). Yeah, like graphics are the determining factor in game quality, right?
Seriously, the only thing I like about the PC is the mouse. Not even the keyboard, I'd rather use a thumbstick and joypad buttons than use a standard keyboard for playing games. But the mouse, that certainly helps in certain games. I'm sure I'd end up eating my words when I play "Gears of War" and some sniping genius kills everyone from the other end of the map, so there's a double-edged sword quality there in wishing for mouse control. I already use a USB keyboard to type messages to friends, and that helps a bit, but with voice recording who needs text messages?

I agree with all of those choices expect for Tabula Rasa. That game has been in development for so long i don't even care about it anymore.
WHY THE FUCK ISN'T SPORE ON THE LIST?
the game is supposed to come out this year. it was my most anticipated last year, and its my most anticipated this year. It will be my most anticipated in 2008 if it takes that long.

I thought the music in the Hellgate: London video was "Cry Little Sister" by Gerard McMann...and then it wasn't. and now I'm gonna cry...little sister....fuck.
I'm going to ignore the fact that it's already been mentioned a dozen times and say, "ZOMG NO SPORE WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM!?!?"
yeah supreme commander will be pretty tight, but maybe not top 5 material. too bad my laptop won't be able to handle any of these games.
Do you guys actually read the comments? Spore isn't on the list because it probably won't come out in 2007. But, looking back on the list ... 3 FPS and 2 MMOs. Is PC gaming really limited to 2 genres? Boo.
My wife and I are really looking forward to Runaway 2. For those (seemingly few) of us who aren't all that into the "kill everything on the screen" types of games, Runaway is a great point-and-click puzzle/adventure game and Runaway 2 looks to be even better. If you haven't played the first Runaway yet, you can get it on Amazon for less than $8.
Yeah, Supreme Commander as well, that game is going to be nuts. Silverfall looks really cool, i love the art direction of it. Project Offset looks sweet as well as STALKER. The Crossing, as well as Savage 2.
anyways, there are going to be some sweet games on PC this new year.

Hellgate will be anticipated only because people are wondering WTF is the barrier between freemulti and paymulti. Stalker is another mystery title that will have people gunshy until the reviews are in. MMOs are going to struggle this year I think. With WoW BC and Vanguard just coming out, LOTR online, Warhammer online, Conan online, I fail to see how Lord British's second foray into MMOs will make a difference. Two of the three up there will most likely sell better on the 360 than the PC (UT3 and BioShock).... so of the 5, only 2 have my interest.
Get rid of Crysis and add Spore. I'll start caring about Crysis in 2012 when I have a computer that can run it.
Seriously, Supreme Commander needs to be on this list. I'm on the beta, and it OWNS. Before this, I'd never heard of Tabula Rasa, and Hellgate doesn't look that great.
Also, SPORE!

Echoing others, Where. The. Hell. Is. SPORE?!
Also, Supreme Commander deserves to be on the list as well.

"t looks like the entire theme of this list was sci-fi inspired shooters with RPG influences (well, except for Crysis.)"
You're joking right? In Crysis you're fighting aliens and you have a skill system.

Come on! I know good old Westwood studios isn't around anymore, but I know some of you can't wait to blow shit up with NOD obelisk. I've been waiting for a new installment to the series for years, and personally I cannot freaking wait. C&C3 Tiberium Wars tops my list, I love the C&C franchise. I can only hope it doesn't get fucked to shreds by EA(Read: Generals) but we will see. There are over an hour of FMV sequences which were absent in generals, and they're remixing many of the original C&C tracks! **busts a nut** Anyone with me?
As far as RTSes, Supreme Commander gets my vote for most anticipated game for 2007. EA's Command & Conquer has two possibilities: Flawed but great (buggy like BF2), or just a pile of shit. Either way, unless they're aggressive on the fixes (which EA is known NOT to be), I'm still kinda on the fence.
@ Kunikos
:( I guess I'm on the fence for both RTSes..... And by sucked ass, what do you mean? Buggy? Laggy? Not your kind of game? Because from the videos I've watched, it's almost EXACTLY like Total Annihilation, from the resource management, to the variety of units, to the nuke/anti-nukes.... it's just bigger and badder (oh yeah, TA didn't have shields).

Dtoid is turning into a Console fanboy haven I swear. I am stoked to see spore and supreme commander by far. I still have high hopes for Fallout 3. And what many console people forget to realize is that if you build your computer it is much cheaper than buying say...a dell XPS. Anyways Yeah I know PC gaming is expensive but it is not just a gaming console. Whatever I know we could have these wars forever, I am just sad that Dtoid seems to not cover that much pc gaming anymore.
PC gaming is pretty sad..... I think the 360 is thinning the exclusivity of most pc games that I'm interested in.... If it weren't for the mouse/keyboard, there would be absolutely no reason to play it on a pc if you already have a 360.
Plus WoW did not help either. I know quite a few fellow WoWers that did not make one pc game purchase in 2005-2006. And now that BC is out, they're back into it again.
Ever since HD came out, I've been going on my pc less and less. The ability to play on a big screen tv with your home theater sound is just too much for me to leave for my computer room (and no, I'm not going to put my pc in the living room, I want to be able to lurk/post and do my other "computer" stuff without impacting my family's t.v. time).
I do miss the keyboard/mouse, but I've since gotten used to the gamepad... Plus each time I look at my pc I remember my WoW days *shivers* I'm never going back to that!
But Supreme Commander may draw me back in, as well as Fallout 3...... Just wish we knew more about Fallout, that one is a real wildcard too. Could be the most awesome RPG, and then again it could go the way of Shadowrun.

The problems with Supreme Commander so far are lag, and a little unbalancedness towards one faction. So far though, lag has gotten a lot better. I played my first successful 3v3 game about a week ago with no lag, which is saying something considering it went for over an hour.
I figured I'd leave an obligatory "Told you so" for the people who asked why I didn't put Spore on the list.
I knew it wouldn't come out in '07. Seriously.
