Rumor has it that it comes out in June.
The game's pretty much done, it's just being optimized and tweaked. One of the project leads said that E3 is in July, and Mass Effect will not be at E3. Therefore, it comes out in June or July.

This isn't really on topic, but it's definitely on par with wormguy mentioning Cave Story.

ZZT.

You'll want to download the DOSBox emulator first though, as it's a DOS game.

Peter Molyneux' demonstration of the dog in Fable 2 was quite touching; check it out at gametrailers.com.

It's the next game from Suda 51 and Grasshopper Studios. I'm a huge fan of these guys.

This is the GDC trailer.

GDC 07: Fable 2 Impressions: Peter Molyneux shows a playable version of Fable 2 for the first time and makes good on his promise that one of the game's key ingredients will be unconditional love.

This version is much more complete, and you actually get to see everything from the intro to the end of the interview. It focuses and shows more of Peter Molyneux and his ideas rather than just the game screen itself.
You're not actually supposed to know about the dog yet, I was very surprised when I saw it.

It is very touching indeed. And he's not even making insane technological advances like what you'd get from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, these are just great game mechanics that all games should have had years ago.

Hee hee, have you guys seen the Little Big World demonstration? That game looks sooo adorable! I really want to get it.
But too bad it's for the PS3.

I hate PS3's... But I want little big planet...

I just played Penumbra: Overture. I take back what I said about Penumbra earlier; the new version is overall more expertly presented, and it is far less bland than the old version. Hoorah.

I was playing it, the only thing I don't like is how the weapon swings. There's really no point in making you swing the mose around if you can only attack left or right, also the flashlight should have unlimited batteries (but that's just me, some people enjoy running out of batteries). Still, Overture is a pretty cool adventure horror game. It's very well detailed and the physics/mouse interaction is particularily fun to play with (simply opening a locker up or spinning a wheel with your mouse is pretty unique compared to other games where you just hit 'e').
But does the demo end when the dog attacks you? Can you like, throw a barrel at it?

I find most games are lacking Chainsaws.
Other than the Doom Trilogy (Witch I must admit is the Best simulator for Learning how to over come a Zombi Outbreak) can any one tell me of any Games that include Chainsaws, Ludicrous Gibbs, and by the thousand of Enemies on OSx?

Tremulous has an electric chainsaw called a painsaw. By electric I mean literally, it's got a blue electric cable for a chain.

Ninja/Samurai games on PC that aren't really bad console ports.

I seriously considering attempting to remake Sword of the Samurai as this is a gap I just don't see anyone even attempting to fill - Plus SotS is a fairly simple game and might actually be possible for me + one or two others if i can find help to finish.

EDIT:
Of course this is why I wonder how versatile the modding tools for L2 will be. Some of the technology would really help bring parts of that old game alive
