"Day One" game purchases

[Michael-5]

DS

• Advance Wars: Duel Strike: Yes, one of the longest, and most rewarding handheld games ever made. Also very playable in 15 minute segments. Reason why I got the DS in the first place.

360

• Forza Motorsport 2: Yes very worth it. The first proper HD simulation game, and it was very fun. Especially with the steering wheel.
• Forza Motorsport 3: Best racing game this gen, I still play it, and it's the reason why I still use my steering wheel.
• Gears of War 2: Definatly. One of the best multiplayer games ever, and the inclusion of Horde Mode was epic.
• Halo 3: Not worth the Minight release wait, but for a 2007 game, this was awesome. Very polished game, something we don't see from even the best.
• Halo 3: ODST: Not really, got the game because I wanted the beta for Halo: Reach, and it was a good game, but not worth the price.
• Halo: Reach: Debatable. It's a great game, but I saw it on a heavy sale 2 months later. It was worth getting it early as it was something to play online and before the November wave, but Day 1 may not have been special at all.

PS3

• Killzone 3: Not really. Co-op was fun, but outside of that I didn't feel that much of a jump from Killzone 2. Also it's release time was during a busy time i school for me.
• Gran Turismo 3: Not sure. I was pretty disapointed with this game at the end, and I play Forza 3 now instead of it, but it was fun while it lasted. Had I got it later, there wold have been no hype, and I'd be less interested.

Wii

None yet since I only got the Wii this year, but I lan to get Pikmin 3 day one.
