I'm not a big poster on here (in fact I get very little time to post on forums - too busy with work 
) but I really enjoy reading some of the more technically orientated posts.
Anyhow, here is something a little less challenging for you lot to discuss:
What games did you most look forward to that were in production but were then canned?
For me it has to be either Starcraft Ghost or Duke Nukem Forever (although it's supposedly still in production.).
Starcraft Ghost looked quite good (considering it was to be an Xbox title), maybe the actual premise of the gameplay was lacking, but the starcraft universe created in the original game was diverse and quite in depth. It's a shame imo that nothing has been created since that has followed on from it.
Duke Nukem Forever was a game that I had been waiting to play ever since being a very young teenager. I played doom to death but I was very much more of a Duke Nukem man - Going from the side scrollers to Duke Nukem 3D was something special. The range of unique (at the time) weaponry, the comical bad guys, the jaw dropping graphics (for the time) and the wise cracks from Duke made it a very special game indeed.
I suppose the problem with these games ever happening was the sheer amount of expectation heaped on them. Other games have been released that had high profile ancestors but very few ever achieved anything close to the recognition or quality that the originals had in abundance.
So what about you guys? What games had you heard about and excited you never made it into the shops?
