Rogue States
GameSpot Previews Real War: Rogue States with a look at Rival Interactive's upcoming stand-alone expansion for Real War, the RTS game originally created as an actual military tool for the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. They discuss criticisms of the original based on its realism which made game balance tricky, and how the follow-up will emphasis fun over realism. Other topics are the counter-terrorism storyline, new multiplayer options, the improved interface and AI, the spiffed-up graphics, and more.
NOLF 2
There's a NOLF 2 Preview on The Dallas Morning News' Punchbutton with another look at Monolith's upcoming spy shooter sequel. The article covers the background of the original game, a bit on the Cate Archer character, the groovy 60s, a bit on the settings and action, and more.
Asheron's Call 2
There's a brief Asheron's Call 2 Preview on VGM Fusion accompanied by a large batch of new screenshots. They have also posted journals from playing with the beta of Turbine's upcoming MMORPG sequel from Ryan's and Tony's points of view, offering a couple of different perspectives on what they've experienced.
Ryzom
The Ryzom Preview on GameSpy.com discusses plans for this upcoming MMORPG from Nevrax. They describe the difficult path ahead of an independent project competing with the juggernauts that occupy this niche, the unusual setting on a "a plant world with no indigenous metals or stone," species, magic, the attempt at creating a "Saga" for a storyline, avoiding the level treadmill, economics, building, PvP, unique elements like aging and offspring, and more.

They hope that large guilds help create the content later on in the game

Sounds like lazy developers to me. "hmm the game needs more content", "Wait i have an idea let the users create some content for us so that way we can go count our money"
