The only new game that I'm interested in buying right now for the PC is Jade Empire SE from Bioware. That company makes superb RPG titles. I will definitely buy it when its hot having waited for 2 years since the xbox version was released. I enjoyed KoToR I immensely. To be honest, there are the only developers where I bought the game and keep it with the box in a nice drawer. Temple of Elemental evil is the other game that I keep too. For the others, I will be glad to eBay it as soon as its completed.
As for Oblivion, that definitely made the history books. Not only is it boring, the game doesn't scales with experience. Which is kind of sad considering I had high expectations from it, no thanks to Morrowind. I even upgraded my video card to a 7900GT solely for playing it. Right now, I'm happily playing Betrayal of Krondor and Ultima VI, which is pretty overkill for the card that I have. LOL

Are you sure you want Jade Empire SE? Because I thought I did until I found out is had that dreaded 'console conversion problem' - what is that, you ask yourself? That is movement by camera as opposed to movement by character. What do I mean? Well, movement by camera means that if your character is facing you then the WASD system would actually be S to walk toward you, D to turn to his left, A to turn to his right and W to turn around so his back is to you. But now his back is toward you, W will now move him 'into' the screen, A will turn him to face to the left, D will face him to turn to the right and S will turn him around to face you.
Now take that system and add 5 bad guy ninja's fighting you and running around all over the place - imagine how the above control system will work for you?
So unless you are an expert joypad user, you're done for, as the often quoted WASD and mouse system that Bioware spouts on about is nothing like it, they're trying to pull the wool over PC gamers eyes... Otherwise , why would they keep mentioning the WASD and mouse system for the game?!
