There's a big list of games coming soon to PC thanks to MW2 pushing them back, so here's a quick list. Post which ones your most looking forward to. Here are mine but its hard to pick them all, plus some have Collectors Editions costing 40 quid!:

Updated games with links to cheapest prices: 5th May 2010
Post which game you want me to keep an eye on and it will be included

Mass Effect 2 (due 29th January 2010) (Collector's Edition available maybe worth while getting, overall great first game which I still haven't completed!)
Cheapest Price for standard edition: Standard £15.85 ShopTo | Collector's Cheapest Price: £36.99 CoolShop

Bioshock 2 (due 9th February 2010) (Collector's Edition also available, have the first very linear game which was great fun)
Cheapest Price: £16.95 DVD.co.uk

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call Of Pripyat Special Edition (due 5 February 2010) (Special Edition for map & extras the same cost, played all Stalkers on PC but will they fix the major bugs asap this time?)
Cheapest Price: £14.73 Cool Shop

Aliens vs. Predator (due 9th February 2010) (mentioned in General forum, great scary game for the original back in 2000)
Cheapest Price: £13.99 Play

Supreme Commander 2 (due 5th March 2010) (Play version comes with DLC unlock, wind away the hours with the mega RTS)
Cheapest Price: £12.95 Zavvi

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (due 5th March 2010) (comes with early beta test for PC, never played any of these so other games take priory due to budget but looks a great game). Limited Editions now hard to get due to being so popular & they are now sold out mostly over £30 so I won't list them as they are dearer than Steam.
Cheapest Price: £23.77 Cool Shop

Assassin's Creed 2 (due 5th March 2010) (Black Collectors Edition available but mostly sold out, enjoyable adventure game which I shouted about before release but looks better, maybe cos Jade Redmond isn't involved)
Cheapest Price: £15.93 TheHut

Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight (due 19th March 2010) (RTS reinvented from the clunky old to the 2010 generation but Supreme Commander 2 is much better, early beta access HERE)
Cheapest Price: £17.89 SendIt

Just Cause 2 (due 26th March 2010) (Limited Edition with various extras & a great fun sandbox game in all from playing the original action game - a must for adventurous types)
Cheapest Price: £22.85 ShopTo Limited Edition £23.73 from The Hut

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days (est. 25th June 2010) (Again, played the original gritty shooter, but hit n miss with others)
Cheapest Price: £22.99 CoolShop

Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (est 18th May 2010) (If you've played the games to date (me again), may be worth checking this out)
Cheapest Price: £20.99 CoolShop

Lost Planet 2 (est 18th May 2010) (not a huge fan of the original but will watch the trailers & reviews hoping for better)
Cheapest Price: £17.99 HMV

Additions...

Max Payne 3 (est 1st October 2010) No need to explain this game, classic in its own right.
Cheapest Price: £23.99 Cool Shop

Crysis 2 (due 29 October 2010) No need to explain this game either, it moves, you kill it - yip that next to zero storyline but more PC/console friendly this time to make more cash.
Cheapest Price: £26.73 TheHut

Again, add your own fav. games here and post which games - listed or not - you intend on ordering or wish to own if you could afford them.

Humorous reviewer of the year, please step forwards Mr (console bias?) Lego

You do know Aliens vs. Predator is the new 2010 edition, its not old? Anyhoo, post your amazing games list that you wish to get this year Mr Lego so we can return our opinions

For everyone else - If this year doesn't do it for you, then browse through my collection of Steam games (I like to think I'm a broad minded-gamer so it includes some pants©Lego games) which includes the recent PCGamers 2010 Top100 winner Deus Ex classic: (link)

INPUT NEEDED

I was thinking (dangerous I know) about getting ideas together from members for a simple list of the best games over the past decade: The Noughties. This is so I can put together a video highlighting these gems in relation to my top games for 2010.

I would appreciate any ideas - from all members & you'll be credited As I don't want to rely totally on trailers; if I have the game I'll include gameplay along with other suggestions - others recording their gameplay would help speed things up. This will be produced in 720P HD & hosted on my YouTube channel. Please be as broad as possible, otherwise if I don't get enough input I can't do it.

Okay, perused my catalogue of games. Here are the games I very much enjoyed:

1. Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield

The one that started it all with WTE and online multiplayer for me. Still the best Tactical FPS imho.
Ah, the WTE RVS remembered video..brings back memories. Can someone transfer them over from the old site? Page not available now..

2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

A great game, maybe not as tactical as RVS. Better than CoD:MW2 only because of Dedi servers.

3. Titan Quest

Great RPG that did OK but oddly enough wasn't as succesfull as it should have been.

4. Medal of Honour: Allied Assault
Great action game and offcourse the brilliant beachlanding map.

Cheers Maverick for your list & what you loved about them, nice choice of games I've RS3 stored away (thats the only RS I've got, got it from the old EB store, now Game) I've never finished it.

As I'm doing a Top10; I need additional gaming lists. It'll be a run-down, so if you remember any funny moments from your game list, please let me know (PM me too) & I'll include that gaming moment where possible.

EDIT: searched for RS3 but I remember I gave it away because I couldn't get into it at the time. How times have changed

I've had to cancel my pre-order of BioShock 2 with Cool Shop since they didn't authorise my payment correctly and only told me about it this morning - just the day its released on & they've got none in stock now so sod that. I've gone the guaranteed method of buying it from Steam but for 30 quid so I'll let you know what I think of it & will record some video at a later date.

Also ordered Just Cause 2: LE for 25 quid before that price goes up a fiver when it released in March. And to save some more cash, I've order Assassin's Creed 2 for just £13.50 using a £11 voucher from CDWOW.

I also read a few reviews about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call Of Pripyat & it wasn't too complimentary since it reuses assets from the other games; voice acting is dire at times, plus it has just a few new enemies & weapons. I will wait until it hits the bargain bin before I approach it with a bag of patches!
