"What's In Your Wallet?" --CR

"What's In Your Wallet?" --CR

I'm not asking what is literally in your wallet. I don't want to know about that expired condom you have been holding on to for about a year now or that picture of that girl you tell all your friends you have been dating.

I want to know what the very next game you are going to buy. It can be either coming out today or next month. It can be new or used. What game are you putting money away for or what money is going to be spent next?

For me it's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the Xbox 360

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=200123
And the reason why and the reason for is due to the fact I've been without a 360 for about 6 months now, until tomorrow. And instead of asking what game I should get next I want to see what games you’re getting next, period. And maybe I'll buy something else for the same system or something else.

    WoW currently owns my soul, so assuming we're due an expansion in the next 8ish months or less, I'll be getting that for sure.

    In the short term? Bioshock and UT3 are both strong contenders for me.

    3) Bioshock (mostly paid for)
    4) Blue Dragon (already paid in full)
    6) Warhawk

    I'll add Lair to that list if it gets good reviews here on PA

    I hadn't picked up anything in a month or so, and a surplus of Best Buy gift cards led to me picking up STALKER yesterday, which is close enough to today to count.

    On the subject of imaginary wallet girlfriends, when I went to get my Wii I took my flatmate with me (I was worried about getting mugged on the way home, so I figured a hired goon would act as a deterrent). He spent the next hour or so showing everyone in the line a picture of some girl who wants nothing to do with him, claiming it was his fiancé.

    As for the next game I'll be getting, it'll probably be Trauma Centre: Second Opinion, which is finally getting released next Friday (unless it slips again). I'll probably get the Beyond the Sword expansion pack for Civ IV at some point in the near future as well, probably at the same time as Trauma Centre.

    Maybe if you guys spelled things correctly, you wouldn't have to wait so long for them to photoshop the cover so the r comes first.

    I have a 360. I have no plans of picking up Bioshock anytime soon. Gasp Shock Horror!

    I actually don't know what I'll be grabbing next. I may go get Morrowind for my laptop, otherwise I dunno. I'll totally grab Ace Combat 6 when it comes out, and I already have World in Conflict pre-ordered.

    Edit: I don't have a wallet girlfriend, but I have a ~3 month condom in there. Don't worry, I won't use it, I'm just too lazy to throw it away. Yes, that lazy.

    Huh.

    Maybe they had a tough time compressing the data onto the disc after adding all the uneccessary 'u's and replacing 'z's with 's's.

    Seriously though, maybe Nintendo really does hate the PAL regions. That kinda sucks.

    Nothing really. It takes one year till the games come out in Europe anyway. In the meantime I try to avoid all spoilers (mental image showing a man sitting in a bunker, eating beans out of tin can while the lights are flickering)

    Probably getting Blue Dragon and Overlord (if the price of Overlord goes down). It still takes some time until the other games are released - if I can't buy all, I chose one which will suit my mood.
