so did you leave yourself any money for food this winter???

Really nice list, /cheer.

I'd probably add The Last Remnant, Left 4 Dead, Fracture, Dead Space, Call of Duty, and Mirror's Edge, and if you have a Wii, Symphonia 2, and about 3 DS games(Castlevania, DQ, Chrono Trigger, Disgaea).

I'd remove Force Unleashed. Banjo's a wait and see.

Warhead and Lich King are both a matter of tastes.

This is indeed a kickass year to be a gamer.

I kept my list shorter this year because I wanted to allow more fundage for my 2 kids and wifey, but here are my current pre-orders.

WOTLK
Gears 2
Fable 2
Left 4 Dead
Star Craft 2 (Made me sad it got pushed.....big surprise Blizz)

I just dont know if I will even have enough time this year. Oh well, this holiday season is epic for all gamers.

There's been so many flops lately that I've been really skittish about doing any preordering. Even the preorder freebies aren't tempting me enough at the moment.

But as far as what looks good, forgot Left4Dead :D Steam it, of course, so you have it forever.

Gears of War 2
Resistance 2
LittleBigPlanet
Animal Crossing
Killzone2

I usually never preorder games but I think i'm gonna make an exception and preorder LittleBigPlanet at EBGames so that I can get the Kratos Sackboy.

I generally don't buy many games, just ones I know I might like.


Little Big Planet looks tempting.

I might with Animal Crossing...

A generally won't preorder a game until a week or two before it's released unless it's a huge game but here are the games I thinking off this holiday season (I doubt I'll get them all so I put about how much a chance I think I'll get it):

• Chrono Trigger (DS) - 112%
• Gears of War 2 (360) - 100%
• Left4Dead (probably PC, maybe 360) - 100%
• Fable 2 (360) - 90%
• Spore (PC) - 85%
• Little Big Planet (PS3) - 85%
• Samba de Amigo (Wii) - 80%
• Fallout 3 (360) - 65%
• Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (360) - 50%

I won't put Wrath of the Lich King on there because it depends if I'm still playing WoW by then (not sure if I still want to keep playing). If I am, I'll get it, if not, obviously no.

I stopped playing Wow 8 months ago. I got a few chars to 70, did all the quests (aside from raid instances), and quit. I will go back just to get my chars from 70 to 80, do all the content, and quit again.

I did forget Left 4 Dead and Mirrors Edge... I will probably get those as well.

Oh, and Zen, I have a Wii, but have not turned it on in 3 months, and see no games I care to buy for it :(. I should probably sell it. I don't, because my luck is if I do, they will then announce some must have game.
