Reality Factory

Just wondering what peoples tastes are.
I, for one, have a lot of non-mainstream games that I'm excited for.


First off is Zeno Clash:

It's built on the Source engine by an independent group and was a finalist at the Independent Games Festival. I think it looks really interesting, the art style looks cool and the setting looks great.

Another IGF finalist game, The Path, looks very interesting. I'm going to buy it soon:

I'm really interested in games made by European developers (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was excellent), so check these out:

Necrovision: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/ne ... index.html

And, last-gen graphics and cheesy storyline aside, I'm also interested in Metro 2033: The Last Refuge:

I don't think it looks like a GOTY or anything but I'm interested to see what it's about.

Aside from all these I'm looking into RAGE from iD Software (although supposedly it's not coming out this year).

I actually got the 2 games I was waiting for this year...

Dead Space
Resident Evil 5

I think the reviewers of RE5 are insane. I admit it's not better than RE4, but the reviewers made it out to be terrible. EA did a real nice job with Dead Space also. The cinematics could have used a bit more modern touch, but other than that...the game is fantastic.
