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.

From those 3, I would say go with Demon's Souls over the other two, then the other two are a tossup, depends on if you like replaying games to get different ending or not (I'm not much of a fan on that front)

 

Reason being, you will get a lot more playtime out of Demon's Souls (If you don't throw it out your window) - If you can stick witht hat game for a few hours you will eventually learn how to play, and even though you WILL die and die ALOT - everyone who has played this game will agree that it wasn't a cheap death, you did something wrong, and you will learn from it so you will not die at that point again.

Then after you beat it you get to play NG+ which is ******* brutal.. I thought the first playthrough I died alot, NG+ even though you basically start the game over with all stats and gear from first playthrough STILL kicks your @$$ cuz the difficulty goes up a lot.

GOW3 I hear is 15-20 hours, and Heavy Rain is 8-10 (correct me if I am wrong) but Heavy Rain may get more play than GOW3 just for the fact you have 5 characters, so might make repeated playthroughs more enjoyable?
