You have to pay 5 bucks when pre-ordering...but my scenario is different. I'm trading 9 games. And they have a deal, trade 3 get 1 free...

I don't like FF games.

@morpheusx
I got those coming on PC

but FF13 isn't like an FF game

Short of FF game having a battle rifle, sticky grenades and a master chief as a lead character...I dont think there is anything that will make me buy FF game again.

Bad experience in the past, when I had little money and could buy 1 game ever few months.

Lightning has a gunblade! Snow ha a body like master chief & hope can use blue grenades!

BTW just curious to know, which FF put you off the series?

FF7

I had a Sega Saturn...was mildly happy with it due to awesome 2D fighters and other cool sega stuff. But people in school were all saying how PS1 is so much better.

So I sold everything I had (Saturn and like 9 games) for a PS1, Tekken 2 and FF7. I couldn't stand both games... I actually stopped console gaming for almost a year cause every game I bought/rented was polygon cluttered 3D garbage and 2D games sucked on PS1.

But then...Castlevania SOTN came out...and I discovered Resident Evil series...and MGS came out...etc.

I tried FFX on PS2 as well...I just don't have the patience for those games. I don't have patience for sandbox games...let alone JRPGs.

fair enough, but FF13 is nothing like X or VII from a gameplay perspective

oh well if not a buy I will at the least make you download the demo when it come to Xbox Live!

Thanks, that is good to know... I'll see if thats avialable in Canada.

@nordlead
lol. Metroid M is a must...but lets wait for announcement date

well, Other M is a 2010 title, that is all we know

ok, I put some more thought into it. 3D Dot Game Heroes. Comes out in May, and is only $40.

I youtubed this game and it looks sweet...except its a ps3 exclusive. Cant play those yet...

doh, I don't know what I was thinking.... so still -1 for other from me




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

With you been a Sandbox fan (I know like me you rate Dead Rising very highly indeed) i would go with Crackdown 2.

4 player co-op campaign (as opposed to 2 player in Crackdown 1) and 16 player online multiplayer (as opposed to no multiplayer in the origional)

Yeah, Crackdown was awesome, one of the few sandbox games I liked. When sandbox is used in an original way, I love it. When its just ripped out of GTA series I can't stand it...

Dead rising = good

Saints row = bad

But yeah...Im leaning towards Crackdown 2. I just wish I knew the release date.

I decided to clear my gaming collection and will be trading a bunch of games at gamestop/eb. I have enough for 3 pre-orders...however there are more than 3 games I want to play.

So lets see a vote at what you think I should pre-order...

Is Alien Vs Predator going to be any good? Will I enjoy meat and bones game like Dantes Inferno after the spectacular Bayonetta? Is Halo Reach too far away to be pre-ordered at this point?

No, Alien vs Predator is not going to be good. I heard it first hand from one of the developers of the game that it's pretty much gonna suck.

Halo Reach is too far away. No reason to pre-ordern.

Go for Dante's Inferno. It's a must-play in this generation.

But you have to pay when you pre-order it online haven't you ?

I did preorder Uncharted 2 for example from TheHut.com and Bad Company 2 from game.co.uk and the money was taken from my credit card immediately.

Online? never pre ordered, when I go in store they never take money from me, just give me a receipt

Yeah see it's kinda inconvenient travelling to England just to pre-order some stuff

There's no release date so far for any of the sandbox games that i'm looking forward to in 2010.

Dead Rising 2

Crackdown 2

Red Dead Redemption

Mafia 2

But they are featuring Crackdown 2 more and more often on inside xbox on live so i'm optimistic its not too long to wait now.
