Well, when you take out the multiplats they dont have as big a year as last year.

This year, I have Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, JUST in late Aug. to September. I want to also buy Fable 2 (eventually)

Add Too Human, Viva Pinata 2, Gears 2 and Banjo Kazooie for other games I want.

Just saying, your statement was totally uneeded in this thread, so I decided I would respond to it.

To the topic, I dont see much of a difference between this years numbers and last years. Especially if you take out the games that will only be marginal. I do know I will be pretty much buying at least 3 games a month till the end of the year starting next month. :)

Lemme narrow that list for ya

Good holiday.

Didn't Ghostbusters get pushed back to '09?

Thus far I have three groups in regards to priority.

Group 1. Purchase for myself.

Too Human
Infinite Undiscovery
Fable II
Left 4 Dead

Group 2. Christmas list

Last Remnant
Fallout 3
Dead Space
Naruto The broken bond

Group 3. Will have to get them next year.

The force unleashed
Huxley
Banjo Kazooie

I have to make sure I get the online titles when they come out so I can enjoy them with my friends, but I admit to being a little torn about Fallout 3. I am playing Oblivion right now so I may still be a tad toasted when it comes out. Further more I will have probably have already played Too Human for a few weeks. I may be twitched out by that point.

Too Human, Tales of Vesperia, Fable 2, Infinite Undiscovery, Fallout 3, Gears 2, Viva Pinata 2, Tomb Raider:Underworld, Last Remnant, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, Mirror's Edge and Left 4 Dead are all going to somehow make their way into my 360...

Tomb Raider Underworld Vs Prince of Persia same day release should be interesting...
Mass Effect:GOTY edition should give it a very nice bump over the holidays...
Lego Batman should be the big kiddies' game...

I'm getting the bolded games for myself and the italicized ones are for the family so those can wait. As for time to play them all.....fuck me! I still have games from last year that I haven't touched yet.

I will also be renting a few of those games like Silent Hill, Lego Batman, Samckdown vs Raw, etc... I may have to say goodbye to my personal life for a while or use a whole lot of vacation time.

I realized how many awesome 360 games I haven't played and started a new GameFly account. AceCombat 6 shipped yesterday.

i'll get tales of vesperia,infinite undiscovery,fable2,scared 2,gears of war2,silent hill: homecoming,too human,banjo,last remnant,huxley,fallout3 and tomeraider:underworld.

man....wayyyyyyy too many games I want.

*sigh*

Once again, it seems that there is a total lack of understanding here of the way the gaming business works. (Yes, gaming is a business, and it's a GIGANTIC business at that.)

This happens every year, and it will always happen every year. In every business, not just gaming. September through December is holiday shopping season. Unless you cancel the holidays, you're never going to be able to change the fact that an obscene amount of new games come out at that time of year. That's the time of year that the stores are packed and people are shopping for the gamers in their lives. And that's the bread and butter time of year for the console companies because they're expecting to sell hardware at a more accelerated rate.

All that adds up to more games in the holiday shopping season. I actually look forward to it to be honest. It's my favorite time of year because it seems like there's always something brand new to play. Yeah, I get a little backlogged, but it's a happy dilemma to have. And this year is going to be especially bad because the console war is absolutely insane right now.

Don't complain. Just be happy the summer drought is over and that it wasn't much of a drought this year anyway.
