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.

 

Im a little hesitent towards Dantes inferno cause I played the demo...while not bad at all, its not in the same league as bayonetta. And I am just finishing that game... But it is a console exclusive game.

Isnt there anything else coming out in Q1? Metro 2033? Lost planet 2?  Where are these amazing 2010 games?

Q1 is a lot less hot than it was made out to be in last year. No Lost Planet 2, no Metro 2033. I dont know many games coming out in Q1 to be honest. Maybe Biosock?

Maybe Mass Effect, God of War and Plinter Cell but their not my tipe of games.

Only one game on the list has Viewtiful Joe. The answer should be clear. I would push Sin and Pnishment 2 more, but it has no release date. It is a must buy eventually, but it seems you are looking for a more immediate solution.

NMH2 is a maybe. red Steel 2 is a no for now...

I don't buy games based on hype...and franky Red Steel 1 sucked. So that game franchise is in the gutter until it comes out and proves me wrong.

Does American pre ordering differ to Europe? You don't have to pay when you pre order here ..

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


you seem to order quite a bit from online uk stuff,i was just wondering doesn't germany have the same online kinda stores?

What ?

Dante's Inferno is a must play and God of War is not your type ?

You do realize that Dante's Inferno is a rip-off of God of War down to the button commands right ? (except the button for grab - thats about it )

If you like DI you're bound to like GoW and the same thing the other way around. 

I disagree with your opinion of DI being a must play. Imo its more of a rip-off trying too hard, if it had any originality, then it would be awesome since I love God of War, but I have no intention on supporting a game that imitates one of the best franchises ever and not meeting the high standards set by it.

Sure but everything is much more expensive here. Surprisingly the shipping costs are also often more expensive, which doesn't make sense at all.

I think it's a great service that the English online stores deliver their games for free to every UK customer (at least I have the feeling every online store does that)

 

They also provide much more deals.

No store here online or retail would ever think of selling Fallout 3 GOTY or Borderlands for £13/£15 (14.5€/17€)

Borderlands costs ~45€ here and Fallout 3 GOTY 48€ (talking about PC versions).
