Need for Speed: Carbon is a sequel to last year's Need for Speed: Most Wanted. You play the same nameless character, having just escaped from Rockport with the insane Sgt. Cross on your tail. You total your car as he chases you, but just as he's about to nab you, a friend of yours steps in and pays him off. Now it's up to you help your friend battle for turf and get to the top of Palmont City's blacklist...err, street racing circle.

Set in the far flung future (the 37th century to be precise), THQ is billing Supreme Commander as the 'next evolution in RTS'. Supreme Commander has widely been referred to as the spiritual successor to Total Annihilation.
The game is focused on using a giant bipedal mech called an Armored Command Unit (or ACU) to build a base, then upgrading units to reach higher technology tiers, and conquering opponents. The player can command one of three nations: the Aeon Illuminate, the Cybran Nation, or the United Earth Federation.
Tribes: Vengeance is the third game in the Tribes series, and the first to have a significant singleplayer mode. It is a sci-fi shooter with diverse character classes, expansive landscapes which can be traveled by foot, jetpack, or vehicle, and bases and base facilities to defend and/or infiltrate. The plot takes place hundreds of years before the previous Tribes games, and shows the events that take place prior to them through the eyes of six different characters over two generations.

Doom II is the second game in the series, and it uses the same engine as the original. It introduced new monsters, a new weapon, and 32 new levels. It is also playable in GZDoom, and most of the information of Doom applies here too.
DOOM needs no introduction. It is the grandfather of the FPS genre as we know it. The GZDoom engine is a port of the originally DOS-based game that allows for high-res OpenGL graphics, mouselook, some widescreen support, among other things. GZDoom - http://grafzahl.drdteam.org/
