56K= death, some guy has compiled a list of all the major PC games coming out in 2006, everyone has a screenshot. I didn't even know there was a new Sam & Max coming out!

SPORE looks ultra cool. This is one of the only games of 2006 that I will consider purchasing at full retail value.

Defcon also looks cool... I wasn't aware that introversion still had it in them to make another game. Whatever those guys touch has true quality to it; I'll certainly look into buying this one as well.

GOLF looks interesting also. I liked gish (but I didn't buy the full version.) If anything, this will serve to be a cool demo.

Supreme Commander has potential, I remember reading an article about it a while ago. It's made by the Total Annihilation guys, so the gameplay should be good.

I'm surprised that there's a new (indie) starsiege game in the works. I really enjoyed earthsiege and starsiege: tribes, so this will be one to watch.

I've been keeping an eye on ankh ever since I saw that they were using OGRE. Even though it's a commercial game, it's another one to watch.

80 Days: Is this going to be a game for Jules Verne's classic novel Around The World In 80 Days? That's an interesting concept indeed.

I wish that Sam & Max 2 was going to be made, but last I heard it had been canceled (in 2005 or earlier.)

The space games look decent- star ranger 2 also looks interesting.

All the rest mostly look like crappy re-hashes of the same old games that have been coming out for years.

Man, the Combat Mission guys' house graphics engine got a massive upgrade and their games still look like ass. Classic.

Hadn't heard of Ghost Wars, though, that's worth looking into. But yeah, they've got a lotta vaporware in there, and a few games like Sword of the Stars that I'm pretty sure already came out. Otherwise, pretty cool.

That Enosta:Discovery Beyond has my attention.

Those of you who miss adventures games at a grand scale like me will like to know that a bunch of Lucasarts renegades left and set up shop, and they're working on a game that very well could breath life into the genre. While their engine isn't running full steam yet, it will as soon as they find a publisher. Possibly a title for 2006, maybe 2007.

There is an official site, but I found the interview at AdventureGamers to be more informative.

Sam&Max 2 was planed by LucasArts as a 3D-adventure, together with FullThrottle 2 and others that fell victim to the StarWars-mania that seemes to have devoured all sensibility in the LucasArts leading departement. The License was however bought by some renegade Softwarehouse who are presently doing a true sequel in best Cartoon-manner together with the actual creator of the comic-caracters who left Lucas Arts. So that will be one to look forward to!

Interesting- that's good news indeed!
