Eclectic mix of genres there. Did you play Rome:Total War? I'm looking forward to an expansion to that. Most gripping game of 2004 for me.
From your list I want to play ES:IV, STALKER and maybe GalCiv 2 (I'm a TG subscriber so what the hey). Unfortunately Dungeon Lords doesn't look like it's going to be any good or they would have released the demo by now. I think that's pretty sad cos DW Bradley has such a history I wanted him to pull it off. He's a bit like the good Derek Smart of RPGs.
Apart from the modern combat games, I hadn't even heard of a lot of those games. Auto Assault Online looks like a new and improved version of Steve Jackson's Car Wars (that I played on my brother's Sinclair Spectrum).
Dungeon Siege was a huge disappoinment for me. I kept seeing these glowing reviews and I couldn't understand how people were playing the same game I was. I don't have high hopes for the sequel, and this from a diehard fan of Total Annihilation.
