Sad to hear Blue Toad is a let down. I was so hopeful for that game. I'll still look at getting it though because it's a game I can play with my non-gaming friends and family.
I really, really, re-he-he-eally didn't like Oblivion in FP mode, and I agree its TP mode wasn't all that good either. I like my D&D RPGs in 3rd person / god's eye, so I'm piocking I'll prefer my modern/futuristic RPGs in the same. Looks like Fallout 3 might just be a pass.
I guess a few of those that have been suggested to be dumped from the list will be renters when I have a spare weekend with no intrusions (i.e. when the Mrs. is out of town).
It's a bit of a pipe dream to think I'll own all of those games. But I WILL own Demon's Souls, Heavy Rain and GOW III eventually.
