It's a board game RPG. 4 players pick their class (which you can change later by returning to the home castle) and you all start at level 1. Then chose how you want to play: 1 mission for everyone (quick game) or multiple missions, with people getting different goals (can last 20 hours )
spin the spinner (roll the die) to move. land on a non-town/dungeon space, and it's a random event or battle. battles are like any rpg, turn based one attack and one defense turn, and if you don't win in one turn, you continue the battle your next turn. you defend in a rock paper scissors style. events are NPCs asking you if you want to buy their item, or maybe pay them to do what random thing they do, like steal something from another play, steal gold from someone, or kill them since they're a level uber npc.
in towns you can protect them and then own the town, and tax them for money. or the town might have the item you need to complete your mission. you can shop, or steal from the shop. or you can wear a mask like another player, fail as stealing from the shop and get wanted posters put up with a bounty on said player.
pass another player and you can battle them. win and you can fuck with them: change their face, change their name, take one of their items, etc.
the game's tagline is "WHERE FRIENDSHIPS ARE DESTROYED"
Your threads are gonna get pretty damn big in the next few weeks slash. Hehe.
I want FIFA 09.. but I saw all those pay per play leagues and that really makes me not want it.
I'll put deadspace and saints row 2 on to buy list for next year when things slow down.

But to get MORE on topic...Dead space...nuff said.
Also the trailer for Beast Rider was terrible. Seriously. It made me angry at my TV.

Dead Space looks amazing so if I can find money for that, maybe.
Cesar Milan's Dog Training is tempting, but I ain't a fuckhole so pass.
Electronic composer for hire.
I'm glad the bank was kind(foolish) enough to give me a credit card. Doesn't mean I'm still not going to be broke for the next two months paying this crap off.
Now I just have to find the time to actually play this stuff.
Poop.
Golden Axe, Rock Revolution, and Blitz 2 were games I was aware of, but had absolutely no idea they were coming out this week.
Not like I'll buy any of them though. Just kinda surprise that the marketing has been that sparse. I remember seeing a few Golden Axe ads, but nothing on the other two.
Also I'm not sure what should be PSN/XBLA/WW . I think World of Goo is a Wiiware and Age of Booty is xbla/psn. Gonna move those.

X3: Terran Conflict on October 17th
I really can't see it happening.

SHIT.
Unlikely, I know, but there's been very little that didn't come over this gen
It's too bad none of the other systems have any games worth getting. PS2 and Wii alone this week.
really?
No matter, I will always love you like a retarded cousin.
People getting excited about an EA game and you're calling me retarded. :P
I'm trippin' balls for this right here

Steam ID : rwb36, Twitter : Werezompire,
curious about World of Goo.
I haven't heard of Dark Horizon, but I'd like to try it out. Sort of like how I was just way too LTTP for Freelancer.
Is Rhiannon like Myst? I can't tell what kind of gameplay it is from the description.
Ehh, dokapon kingdom? This sounds familiar but I don't remember what it was.
I'm excited to hear about dead space in the upcoming weeks, though I don't have a copy reserved or anything. I decided to hold off at the last minute because I've got a lot of media on my plate right now as it is. I wonder if the community will end up loving it as much as it was hyped or not.
I'm sorry for the inanity of my post. I'm at work and can't very well research these titles without appearing somewhat unproductive.
I uh.
I've never played Secret of Mana before...
