Notes:

Singularity has been removed. Apparently it's OK but not brilliant. I'm torrenting it very slowly atm. If it had received better reviews, I would have left it on the list and waited to play it myself. Also waiting for Sniper from Nabs. It only got 5 I think on IGN.

Someone, I think Jon, complained at the high ranks of Starcraft 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic. I've decided to shift them down somewhat because although they still have next-clan-rts/WoW-killing-MMO potential respectively, there are other such vidyas, and who is to say these others won't be better, even if less hyped? Furthermore, I've never actually played SC1 or KoTOR, though they are high on my to-play list (I've actually just compiled one, it's enormous).

Dragon Age 2 is confirmed for early next year, so has been added.

I found out that Fallout: New Vegas is being developed by the Alpha Protocol team, which recently received average reviews and sales, so this forboding sign caused a slight shift downwards.

APB, an MMO of sorts which just released and wasn't on the list, sounds good but apparently loses appeal after a while.

Requesting a Red Dead Redemption PC port.

GlaDOS beat Bowser and Ol' Man for #1 Video Game Villain of All Time on an IGN table. Not sure if just...

I formally apologise for including non-gaming related material in my "rant" yesterday. If I feel compelled to do so again I will use Macebook or make my own blog. And to those who have been incessantly hailing this question down upon me:
