Civ.  Bah.  Alpha Centauri was infinitely superior.  I'd pay $100+ for a new Alpha Centauri game, but this is the next best thing, I guess.Zelda is Zelda.  Always fun, never my favorite.For Metroid, see Zelda. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Who's making the next NBA game, anyway, SEGA or EA?  Doesn't much matter, I'll buy it at launch regardless.  Still, I'm not as hyped as I was last year.Dragonshard looks like the first interesting RTS since Warcraft 3.  I'll give it a shot, but I don't have high hopes for it.  TBS (Turn-based Strategy) > RTS.UT '06 would be higher if it weren't probably more than a year away.  By this time next year, it could be the only one left from this list. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />   I doubt Heroes V will be out by then, though.</blockquote>
