A few of those are already out or coming this month but it'll probably be November before I get to them.

mario galaxy
prof layton
loads that look interesting but might be not that good (eg. wii fire emblem : no IR pointing on map where your units go? O RLY???)

Phoenix Wright 3

Most anticipated (after Orange Box)...
1) Mass Effect
2) Super Mario Galaxy

Definitely...
Ratchet and Clank
Virtua Fighter 5
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Probably...
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Call of Duty 4

Waiting on reviews (some questions remain, but I'm hopeful)...
Assassin's Creed
Haze

p.s. Smash Bros. has apparently just been delayed until 2008

Contra IV.

Okay, Phoenix Wright 3 also. DS is keeping me poor. But man... Contra IV.

1. Rock Band
2. Rock Band.
3. Rock Band.
4. Virtua Fighter, Kane & Lynch, GH3, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Orange Box (which I got today!)

Jeff, I thought Smash Bros was only delayed in Japan. It's everywhere?

If Assassin's Creed is not great I will never play video games again.

Super Street Figher II Turbo HD Remix looks good but sounds ridiculous.

That doesn't come out till next year.

Is Contra IV coming out for DS? That sounds awesome.

(I haven't played a Contra since Contra!)

front mission remake for DS could be decent

Front Mission 1 is so insanely good, how can the remake suck?! Then again I played it with the fan translation, so maybe the real one won't be as good but I highly doubt that.

But yes... too many good games. I may not even be able to buy them all. I may have to break some law.

PS2: Chaos Wars (I haven't even beaten Persona 3 yet, though, and I played about 5 minutes of Growlanser 5... I dunno if I can go back to PS2! 360 ruined me!)

DS: Front Mission (can I play through it again?), Phoenix Wright 3, Super Collapse 3, Geo Wars Galaxies, Contra IV, FFXII Revenant Wings, N+ (whenever that's out), Panzer Tactics DS, Dementium: The Ward.

360: Beautiful Katamari, Every Extend Extra Extreme, Call of Duty 4,
Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Omega Five, ikaruga, kane & Lynch

see I can't even keep on the DS stuff.
football season really takes away from gaming time

keep UP

good thing i have roughly 3 hours of mass transit a day!

I'm sure if Smash Bros. is delayed in Japan it will be delayed further everywhere. It's being developed by Nintendo right?

As to Assassin's Creed - initially the game appeared like it was going to be awesome and I was really looking forward to it, but after the recent demo failures and the general impressions I've been hearing - the game sounds like it has some serious problems to overcome. I don't know - but I've been slowly easing off my hopes for the game. Maybe it will be delayed?

Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band. :(

I don't plan to get Rock Band, but if someone in Montreal ends up buying it and needs a friend to play with, I'm totally there. ;)

I haven't even beaten Persona 3 yet

I got the good ending last night. Well over 100 hours.

Now that I know about Contra 4 I'm totally excited for it.

Interesting preview of Assassin's Creed that doesn't really offer any answers to whether they've managed to get the game to work or not, but does have some interesting tidbits, like 100 missions (though you only have to do 30something to finish the game) - sounds long and more and more San Andreas like

You all seem to be forgetting about Crysis.

I found out I may be getting Rock Band from a friend for FREE. This could be a total lie, but I am excited...

the upcoming replacement for the 360 "retard pack" seems appealing to me.
also lol at smash bros being delayed - this is on purpose folks, third parties bitched about nintendo titles crowding them out so big papa is giving them elbow room for christmas

GH3 & Rock Band for 360 to go w/ existing GH2 guitar and whatnots. I am not sure what Rock Band has done to make me nod and say "Yes, $170 is perfectly reasonable for a game!", but it worked. I suppose it's a great deal compared to getting all the bits seperately.

Mass Effect -= for the everything. Havn't played a meaty CRPG in ages.

Assassin's Creed - I really want to hype up for this; the environment / free-running stuff seems awesome but the combat and bizarre background (why can't it be a straight riff on history instead of a Matrix - style ZOMG it's actually the future?!?! thing) seems substantially....less awesome. Apparent lack of demo does not inspire confidence. Not getting this one before reviews hit.

Kane & Lynch - for co-op and inspired multiplayer Heist mode.

Call of Duty 4 - really enjoyed the beta / demo, full game will hopefully retain the greatness.

XBLA - Ikaruga, E4, and Rez HD (though the latter may be next year?)

PC - I already have most of the good stuff this year - Orange Box, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, etc. Not really wanting to drop many $$$$ on a new DX10 video card for Crysis, etc at the moment. Is it getting a console release?

afaik crysis will be pc only.

Actually I'd be surprised if Crysis doesn't doesn't eventually make it to consoles. There have certainly been a lot of whispers. Just do a quick search and look at the results...

Crytek, makers of the stunning Crysis game have put up a job posting looking for PS3 programmers. Is this the first sign of Crysis for PS3? ...

He goes on, "What you would not do is make Crysis on PS3, 360 and PC for a single shipping date, because we would lose the quality focus." ...

When approached about the recent rumors of Crysis getting ported onto the PlayStation 3, Crytek spokespeople replied to the rumors with a "no comment". ...

Crytek's lead artist, Michael Khaimzon, has revealed that the developer could confidently port highly-anticipated PC title Crysis to PS3 and Xbox 360 ...

In a 180 degree turnaround from statements made in August, developer Crytek has confirmed that a PS3 or Xbox 360 port of next-gen PC shooter Crysis ...

it can't be coming out before xmas, though, because they haven't even announced them yet, right?

true

what the fuck did harmonix put in the drinking water?

what are you talking abt?

people wanting to play third and fourth revisions of "be your own shit bar band"

you are truly the morbs of ILG

I don't want to play that either Tom

Well, to be fair, I'd never pay for it... but I'd play it for free.

1. I want to play it
2. I'd like to play it
3. I mean to play it

If I end up getting a free copy from this buddy of mine, we will totally jam, antexit.

BTW hot tip again, I got the Orange Box at Game Buzz, and it was 59.99 again! I asked the dude why, and apparently they have american distributors for a bunch of their games, so parity - money actually saved for us! Until our dollar dips, they are my favourite!

I don't know what Harmonix put in the water, but maybe it was just that they created a game that's insanely fun to play on the higher difficulty levels. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I think I just can't get past how bad the versions of the songs sound. probably if you're concentrating on playing you don't notice as much but urgh my ears

It's true that the versions are pretty bad at times, but the majority of the songs on GHIII and Rock Band are originals.

Hey, I'll be playing the demo of GH3 as soon as Slutsky gets over here-- will post impressions.

Guess what? More of the same.

The difficulty seems to have been ramped WAY down, maybe in a pitch to get the casual rhythm gamers when Rock Band gets all the gimp money. Maybe it's just the demo, but I do NOT want to be getting 250+ streaks on Hard the first time I play a song in GH.
Big ups for Montreal stoner metal content, though.

Are you talking abt Priestess? They are in, like, every game ever. It's hilarious.

Wii Okami confirmed for 2008

OK, not confirmed, just a rumour apparently.

So did anybody who listed Kane & Lynch in here actually pick it up?

I intend to check it out at some point but in between every other Nov. game still seeking my attention, plus the lackluster reviews, i am putting it off. When I am extra bored due to the TV strike, I am sure i will give it a rent or something. I will have ot convince a friend to play through it w/ me on co-op, though. Sounds like that's the way to play (although the best scene has already been spoiled for me)

I got it. Pretty crummy graphics, lackluster gameplay, and feels very much like same-old. The nastiness of it put me off right away, too. One of the first things that happens in it is a diner waitress gets shotgunned. This is very low on my list to play through.

Did you try out the online multiplayer bank robber thing? That at least sounded kind of interesting...

I have Kane & Lynch. Love it, but won't bother defending it.

You do? I really like violent and nasty games and was expecting to like it-- I don't mind overlooking a lot of the sort of stuff I mentioned. It's just the gameplay mechanic, especially the cover system, felt so kind of flat and not fun that I naturally drifted to the ten more compelling games this fall. Should I give it another chance?

Maybe I missed this sometime back, but are you games industry antexit?

No, just a devoted amateur.

Yeah I dunno, the guys I know that liked it pretty much liked it right away, so if you found it off-putting it might stay that way for you. I'd say if you paid money for it you might well try again before giving up, no harm in that.

I'm only a few levels in and not having any problems with the gameplay, but it's the characters I like so far, especially when Lynch is explaining himself after what he does at the bank. Also, nearly every single enemy I've shot so far is a cop. They could've called this game Millions of Dead Cops. Anyway, it's all somewhat amusing to me, but I know a lot of people aren't into it at all.

Haha that review was actually one of the things that convinced me to buy it. Seriously, telling me "every single person you play as or encounter is despicable and wholly abrasive" is not the way to convince me not to play something.
