Forums - Sales - Too many games at once? Pre-holiday lineup

Yeah a lot of games. I think I could list 50 games that will still release this year that I want (including handhelds). Never happened before;



Yeah, I'm going to be spending a pretty penny in the next couple of months. Sometimes I have to remind myself it's ok not to buy a game I want on day 1, it's ok if I get it in January. But that doesn't make the decision process much easier.

In the next couple of months I plan on getting
Spore
Little Big Planet
Valkarye chronicles
Resistance 2
Fallout 3
Tales Of Symphonia 2


One or two of those may wait till december/january depending on how much time I have for gaming, but there are a few more back burner games that will go along with them like De blob, and eternal sonata. It's packed.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

It probably is too much, but I wasn't going to get any new games till Christmas time anyway.



I say it's a good thing.

There are quite a few intresting games on your list, Fisheyjoe.

And many others. =)

Games are too expensive, to allow you to enjoy them all. =)

Oh yeah, deadspace, I almost forgot deadspace on my list. That is one of the back burner ones that I have to get, I just don't know when.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

damn Alcohol is going to eat most of my finds, i wonder how many games i will be able to afford. If i get 5 it will be great.



I can't remember the last time I wanted to purchase so many games in such a short span of time. Of the ones listed, I'm interested in ten of them and the easiest one to cut for me is Fallout 3. Quite a strong lineup indeed.



Tell me about it, but I HAVE to get some of these games, and while they will sit on the shelf until I'm filled with delerium from WOTLK, I'll still have them on the shelf:

Fable 2 10/21
Fallout 3 10/28
GoW2  11/7
WOW:WoLK 11/3

Infinite Undiscovery

Saints Row 2

Fable II

LOTR: Conquest

LIPS (Wife's must have!  I've already been instructed)

The Last Remanant

Huxley

are the ones that come to mind, but as I said, once WOTLK comes out, it's lights out for everything else...I've gotta take care of my 2nd life first.
