Simple question, I guess, since it's obviously opinion-based, but I mean, I'm getting tired of fantasy RPG/MMORPGs, war-driven FPS and strategy games, or at least what is constantly presented. The RTS scene doesn't really work for me unless it's Starcraft, and I recently enjoyed Demigod, but stopped after that game seemed to be going nowhere. Another wasted potential like Hellgate London, it would appear, but I could be wrong. I haven't checked it out in about two weeks.

Fallout 3/Prototype/GTA 4/Dead Space has done me well these past months after playing WoW for a few years, but I don't see anything but, the same old, same old, on the horizon. I am, however, very excited for Bioshock 2 and Starcraft 2, but from what I understand both won't be released til Christmas.

When I look at the consoles I see exclusives and games that don't seem to make it to the PC.

Any recommendations for games on the horizon that don't follow the same old trend, I'm talking about games that add a new flare to a genre, kind of like Team Fortress 2 on the FPS genre, by combining RPG-like elements in a small dose, a new graphical scheme and feel, or a sci-fi shooter with a new hud and feel (Mass Effect), these COD and Warcraft-like games are getting really old for us gamers who like variety

unforunatelly same and same old goes for all gaming platfotms the last 5-6years. One of the reason i game on pc is because there are games completely different from any console and because of RTS games ( me on the other hand i love them)

If you want something different try Cryostasis (fps adventure horror game with great graphics,excellent atmosphere,amazing sounds and great story)

Zeno clash ( fps beat'm up)

The 3 penumbra games ( the scariest games i played)

Portal ( most fun i had without going rampage ) + free portal prelude

Arma 2 is coming out and is not your normal online shooter ( if you are interested in reallistic shooters you should look into it)

mirrors edge is a great game thats something out of the normal and from what it matters DICE made a great job porting it to pc ( KB+M works better than gamepad , has better graphics and runs like a charm at a steady 60fps on my 8800gt)

kings bounty ( turn based rpg and one of the most addictive games i played with a very distinctive art syle)

so your asking for new games that are original in concept and deviate from the norm? well i believe your in the wrong decade of gaming my good freind go back 10 years ago and erase your memory of what you've seen in the future and you should be fine. but don't ever say the pc has no games coming out for it as that is a blatant lie.

Take a look at borderlands which should be released in october.

Basically its an FPS with RPG elements and a massive loot system and looks very interesting and different.
