The force unleased? S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? and spore? God damn I'm goind to have to bang my head on a wall.

Ragnar Dragonfyre

My wallet is going to be crying tomorrow.

Darmak

Well I heard the Dragon Quest game comes out today so I might pick it up (if not today, soon), and I will be buying the Armored Core game when it's out. I also just recently spent money on the Multiwinia pre-order + Darwinia pack on Steam if anybody is interested in that. My wallet hates me so.

HadjiQuest

I had a job last year and still lived comfortably and without bills at home, enabling me to buy all the big releases.

Well, I quit that job because of the hours, and got fired from my new part time job. Definitely getting Force Unleashed; might have to prostitute myself for Crysis: Warhead and STALKER Clear Sky.

Drawn To Life: Spongebob Edition?

Actually, this brings up an anecdotal example of one of the reasons to leave them in, and why it is hard to say where to draw the line. As far as I remember, Drawn To Life was supposed to be a reasonably entertaining platformer. My fiancee loves platformers on her DS, and loves Spongebob. I had forgotten about this game, and now it is good to know it is out. A similar scenario could apply to people who have daughters that love animals ending in "z" or whatever. Far better to be complete and include everything than try to arbitrarily cut things out.

Hahah, holy crap, Mega Man 2 on virtual Console? I'm totally on that.

B:L

Unsolved Crimes on the DS? That sounds interesting.

For formatting, how about sticking each systems' releases in spoiler tags underneath the system? Like this:

PS2 Releases

games

Wii Releases

games

360 Releases

games

and so on. That way, if someone wants to quickly jump to a particular systems' releases and ignore the others, it's easy to do so.

I could do it like that. What's everyone think? Should I just spoiler the entire systems' sections of games individually?

ToyD

That and use the bold tags for game titles so you don't need so much whitespace between titles.

No Great Name

I think Armored Core For Answer should be in the title that is what I think.

So is Battle Fantasia worth the purchase?

This is the first time I've actually heard of it.

I've been intersted in Battle Fantasia for a while, since it's an Arc fighting game and uses a pretty cool 3D mimmicks 2D art style.

But I've heard mixed opinions of the gameplay.

But what fighting game doesn't have mixed opinions on the gameplay?

I've heard it's ass. Half the cast fights like they're from Street Fighter III. Which is all well and dandy, except the other half of the cast fights like they're from Guilty Gear.

You can see where things get silly.

RainbowDespair

XBLA games have been announced. Domino Master (looks to be a pretty straightforward game of dominoes) and Feeding Frenzy 2, each for 800 MS points ($10). Not too exciting for most people here, but the casual crowd might find something to like. Also the 1910 DLC for Ticket to Ride will be released.

brynstar

I'm buying Force Unleashed and Dragon Quest IV...and then pretending nothing else is out this week, even though I'm interested in Stalker and Crysis Warhead.

And so it begins...

It would vastly cut down on scrolling, so that sounds good to me.

DarkPrimus

Goddamn I didn't know the Witcher Enhance Version was coming out this week.

But WAR is coming out too!

And I already have Rock Band 2!

And Spore!

Damn it!
