I'm curious if there is any 'must haves' still to be released? The last couple of months have been killer on my ability to save money. I'm not complaining about the quality of these games, but am looking forward to a 'dry spell' of releases so I can (1) Play the games I've recently bought, & (2) Start saving money again.

Since september i have bought:

Fallout 3
Quantum of Solace
Fable 2
NHL 09
Civilization Revolutions
Far Cry 2
COD: W@W
Nascar 09
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise


Is anyone else looking forward to less releases for a while? Also, which games have you bought in the past 3 months?

I think there are only a couple minor games on my radar up to christmas; trackmania DS and Animal Crossing Wii being the only ones that spring to mind....

Over the past couple months I've bought


Fallout 3 (disapointing ending....)
Resistance 2 (just plain disapointing)
Fable 2
Far Cry 2
Gears of War 2
Saint's Row 2
GHWT
RockBand

And of course, LBP

Also WipeoutHD, although that was DL'able...

Hardware wise
- new 360 (arcade, + 60gb harddrive)
- new HD for PS3 (320 gig, I think.... can't remember now, lol)
- PS3 EYE (for LBP, although yet to capture any textures.....)
- the new bluetooth keyboard thingy for PS3


All up, very expensive couple months. Thank God for larger than expected tax return...

edit - forgot, Space Invaders Extreme (for DS...) - which rocks, I might add

yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees

and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

Hardware wise xbox elite

But the real pitiful bit is that im looking at another 3 games(only LOOKING, not sure if will get). I'm quite looking forward to the dry area so i can get some money together to head back to tafe, prototype is pretty much the next one that i'm looking foward to.

They are making another lord of the rings? Is it strategy based or hack and slash?

All the games I want to get have been released now but I still need to buy a few of them.

Games I bought the past few months:

LBP
SW:TFU
End War
Saints Row 2 (x2)
Fable 2 (x2)
Valkyria Chronicles :wub: :wub: :wub: best game of all time
End War
Fallout 3
FFIV
FFXII: Revenant Wings
Mortal Kombat vs DC
Infinite Undiscovery

I haven't played some of them yet because I can't stop playing VC but I also want RA3, The Last Remnant and Spyro so hopefully I will get those for christmas. I am going to import Chrono Trigger and Disgaea 3 in a couple of weeks too.

Far Cry 2
Fallout 3
Fable 2
Saints Row 2
Dead Space
Left 4 Dead
Cod: Waw
Gears 2
Mirror's Edge
Midnight Club LA

Phew.

hi guys

so whats the obsession with buying all these games as soon as they come out, if you cant even find time to play them? is it just to have them brand new, or because friends have them and you wanna play online? do you sell them or keep them? do you get them cheap from those game places where you hire the game indefinitely?

i understand playing maybe 2-3 games simultaneously... october is the only time ive ever bought more than one game in a short time period, with SR2, GoW2 and dead space all out so close together.

and last time i checked, these games aren't going anywhere :) and you'd save money by buying them later on when you have the time for them, because they'd go down in price as time went on

not having a go, just saying... why the hell would you go out and buy 10 games in a month? y'all crazy :)

I guess it's part of really loving games. I'm not a massive gamer myself (my 360 isn't even online), but I know Hiss likes to keep up to date wth whats coming out, and when you're passionate about something its easy to get excited about it and want to give it a go asap.

all understandable gohda, but a good few of us (including me) have such a wide range of gaming tastes having only a very few games would get us bored too quickly. for me if i start getting annoyed/bored of a game i got a whole different selection of games to pick from, instead of goin, i feel like playing *insert game here* awwww shit, i didn't buy it yet, i can go put it in my console and play it. So for me it's the fact that if i want to play the different selection i can, and not worry about going out and buying it.

yeah i understand its a BIG hobby for some...

can i get my hands on some of these games too? :) maybe theres some secret you guys are onto!! cause it looks like some of you would've easily dropped over $1000 recently!

i've thought about joining one of those clubs, where you can get a game for an indefinite amount of time, then send it back for another once youre finished...
