Picked up Demon souls as it had been a relatively slow game month for me. Got a good ways through it then ....

I bought Uncharted 2 and Brutal legend on the same day....thinking that I would have time to beat them both and get back to Demon souls before Ratchet and clank came out today.

As many others, i got utterly enthralled by Uncharted. After beating it on normal, i realized that My uncharted 1 saves had no trophies because support was added later. So i just had to play through Uncharted 1 on crushing and get all the treasures. Then went back and played through uncharted 2 again on hard. Then gave the multi-player a try. Brutal Legend, still in the box at this point. I finally managed to pull away long enough to tinker with BL, but then Best buy has the buy 2 get one free sale....so i pick up Borderlands, HaloODST, and CoD4.

I started playing Borderlands sunday night...having lots of fun.
Today Ratchet and clank comes out.

I havent even though about Dragon Age. and i can't believe im saying this but im damn glad Bioshock 2 got pushed back.

Too many games, too little time.

    I think right about now is the time of year where everyone starts complaining about their wallets, yeah. Though, I can't really recall anything monumentally huge coming out this holiday season off the top of my head. I haven't been paying much attention at all. I'm too busy concerned with other factors in life. Not much in the way of dabbling in the hobby.

    There isn't actually that much I'm interested in for the remainder of the year. Assassin's Creed 2, Dragon Age, maybe NSMB Wii, if the single player turns out alright. I still haven't gotten Uncharted 2, but I can't think of anything else I'm really looking forward to. Modern Warfare 2 can go die in a fire.

    Just cancelled my preorder. I was getting the 360 version first and eventually the PC version when it started to get old and I wanted to play mods and such, but fuck that.

    More time for Borderlands.

    It's pretty quiet for me.

    I'm one of the few people on the planet who just isn't that interested in either Uncharted 2 or Modern Warfare 2. As a result, Assassin's Creed 2 is pretty much the only must have game for me at this point.

    That said, I'll admit that I'm casting covetous glances at Dragon Age as well.

    i already got ODST and borderlands for myself because i have no patience, but i am waiting for AC2 and L4D2 with baited breath. i also heard chinatown wars just came out for PSP so i might check that out.
    i also have to renew my gold membership, which costs as much as a game :/

    Ah, but I wasn't interested in it before this dedicated server matter came up. I know that Modern Warfare 2 is - or was for some people - insanely popular because not only is my local HMV doing a midnight opening for it, but they're releasing it on the Tuesday night to boot. That's very, very unusual here in England. Games normally hit on the Friday.

    EDIT: Removed what might have been an inappropiate smilie. Last thing I want to do is offend anyone.

    Borderlands until Modern Warfare2, after that there's really nothing for a while that I know of.
    Unlike last year where it was three months straight of good games just being pumped out.
    I already got Brutal Legend, Operation Flashpoint, NHL'10 (the only sports franchise I ever loved), Borderlands, Uncharted 2. So my backlog should hold me over for a while.

    I switched to rental with MW2 but thats a different issue for later.

    Right now i just finished up about 200 mods of elder scrolls oblivion + about 10 mods that are actual questlines worth following. Then i moved on to finishing far cry 2. Now im back to my old addiction: 20 hour long civ 4 games.

    And really i have only Assassins Creed 2 and Dragon Age as must buys, with a probably for the new Mario for some living room fun.

    Its nice to look forward to living room fun.

    This is shaping up to be a really good year in general. The last couple years have had some good games come out, but in general it seems like many of the big name titles were either flops or really short. This year we've got a lot of sequels of current-gen games, and in video games it's often that the 2nd one is the better one anyway. And they all seem to be hitting right now.

    For time reasons I've got Uncharted 2 and will be good until Dragon Age comes out, but as of, well, a couple weeks ago I realized that I have a 'future backlog,' something I've not had before. I want to play Fallout3 GOTY, Demon's Souls, Batman, and will probably be very interested in numerous games coming out between now and Xmas.

    edit: And yeah, don't even get me started on next Spring.

    Nice backlog you've built up there. Seriously, there's no point in buying so many games when there's no way you can possible dedicate time to all of them. You save a lot of money when they drop down in price, too.

Wii, Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, God of War Collection,Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues,NCAA Basketball 10, and a few other minor titles that I'm interested in.

    Well most of it has been sales and a couple of those games I know won't be going down in price like normal. This month has been crazy on new game sales.

    It is getting horrible for me though. Its almost like I'm thinking "Hey that will look nice on the shelf after after I play the tutorial!"

    I think I will use this time to catch up on old games I missed via Gamefly and then maybe I can get to some of this new onslaught after that. I've got RE5 and Batman AA on the way.

    I am however really itching for Borderlands and L4D2 for some reason. NSMB will be bought on release date of course for the family and I will have to get Lego RB at some point also.

    The new ones are by the new author, right, since RJ passed away?

    Maybe the new ones will actually get back to being fun to read, unlike the recent WOT books.

    After the fourth some odd book, story progression in the series began to move at a snail's pace.


    I take that back, as analogizing WOT's recent story progression to moving as slow as a snail is insulting to snails everywhere.
