Oblivion Sequel, Wii Sims, No Bully 2

Not many new releases slated for this early in the year, but news of what we expect later on is starting to come in. Excitingly (for me anyway), the first real expansion to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is expected to be release in Q2 of 2007. It will offer an all-new landmass, multiple-branching quest lines, and the power to change the landscape. There are more details available on The Sims for Wii, as well. The Kotaku post wonders out loud what the point is, as (with its cute graphics and Mii-style characters) it looks a lot like a poor man's Animal Crossing. FiringSquad is excited about PC games this year, with a lot of commentators saying this will be 'the year PC games make a comeback'. With titles like Spore, Crysis, and Bioshock on the horizon, it's hard to argue with that. There's some 'negative' news on new games as well: despite a great reception by reviewers, a sequel to Bully may be hard for Take-Two to justify, due to lackluster sales. Finally, Vivendi has tried to deny the existence of a Batttlestar MMOG. Commentators at 1up are skeptical.

Bully

I don't know how much they had to pay for the good reviews of Bully, but it really sucked. Save your money. Those $4 Burger King games are probably better...

How many Dukes on the list?

Nice, but how many of these titles will end up being vaporware? I mean S.T.A.L.K.E.R has been up and coming for like 4 years! I think its giving Duke a run for his money.

Re:Sims 2 should do fine regardless of it's looks.

I swear, that's the only reason anyone played The Sims.

Two words: Lesbian Sims.
