Yeah what is the deal with Colonies. Thinking of picking that up if it has the whole single player game.

I don't know if I want to get Wii Fit or not, but it's sold out for the moment so I guess I won't buy it for now.

I have my eye on Stalker, but I'm waiting for Clear Skies to come out first.
That Deus Ex thread almost made me buy it, but I remembered the pains of corrupted saves so I let laziness take over and prevent me from buying it.

I guess I won't buy anything until Left4Dead or Clear Skies.  :bawl

Post a new thread like this in August, please.

Waiting for a demo for Supreme Ruler 2020 or some posts about it from early adopters over at Paradox's forums. I'm knee-deep eradicating the blight that is Christianity from Europe as the Moors in Medieval 2, and am getting Europa Universalis 3: In Nomine as soon as it comes out in two weeks, so the window for another strategy game is pretty limited. Especially with all the Galciv2 going on at the same time.

I am on the edge with getting wiifit or not.  I'm sure the software it comes with is crap, but I don't know if I should be hoping that in the future there would be cool stuff on it such as Konami releasing Police 24/7 on the Wii.

I was on the edge with Haze, but after playing the Haze demo again yesterday.  I don't really think I would bother with a really average (in ways less than) shooter when I could be replaying stalker or something else.

I'll probably rent Haze, possible purchase if the multiplayer is really, really good. I think I'm done with COD4 for a while, so a new multiplayer FPS could be nice.

Hold on, Top Spin for Wii? Do we know if it's good or not?

i'll admit i was totally tempted to get Conan, but am holding off because Mount and Blade is STILL ruling my life.  I've been reading up on certain strategies which had heretofore eluded me, so hopefully I can become more powerful.

Look at that PC lineup. Luxor 3 to sell more than Age of Conan confirmed.

only 1 copy of each pc game will sell

its borys

Post by: demi on May 19, 2008, 01:44:21 PM
Holy moly, 111k copies. That must be a new overall record for PC sales.

Pretty sure the recent Nancy Drew game sold double that. Better keep pumping out those LEs.

Top Spin 3 and one of these:  http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Cybershot-DSCW300-Digital-Optical/dp/B00153WWRK/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211220325&sr=8-1  (my DSC-W200 was a casualty in my recent fall, so I need a replacement)

Watching Conan for now.  I want to get demi onto an erotic roleplay server.

Care to share your thoughts on Mount and Blade?  I just read up on it on wiki, and it sounds VERY interesting.

Theatre of War sounds pretty cool

Conan has system requirements a bit on the hefty side - I could run it, but I'd probably have to turn everything down

Yeah what is the deal with Colonies. Thinking of picking that up if it has the whole single player game.

I'm quoting this because I'm in the same position. Never played the original outside of a kiosk.

Might eventually pick up Top Spin 3.
Title: Re: Weekly Releases List. WHAT WILL YOU BUY?
Post by: demi on May 19, 2008, 02:30:12 PM
Colonies will have the single player.

It's basically a GOLD EDITION of the game - similar to how Tomb Raider GOLD EDITION on PC had the single player + extra levels. Or how the GOTY edition of COD4 comes with the maps. Or how the GOLD EDITION of Marvel Alliance comes with the DLC.

It's LOST PLANET + new single player modes + new multiplayer modes + whatever the fuck

Here are the achievements. I don't like them. Too much emphasis on multiplayer, which I thought was HORRIBLE.

I will have to pick up Lost Planet CE just for the achievements...not that bad of a game anyway.

My wife really wants Singstar, but I don't want to buy the proprietary microphones when I already have two from Rock Band and Karaoke Revolution.

Is Lost Planet worth it? Didn't care much for the demo, but at $30 I'll bite. :-\

Multiplayer is actually a lot of fun, but the single player demo (the E3 2006 one) was maybe the best part of the whole game.
