What are you looking forward to now that the last quarter of gaming is upon us?

[The Fake Shemp]

This year is definitely underwhelming compared to last year.

I'm definitely pulling the trigger on Gears of War 2, Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead (PC).  I'm waiting to see on The Force Unleashed, Fable 2 and Banjo-Kazooie.

Might check out Little Big Planet to see if it lives up to the hype.

[duckman2000]

Fable 2 is a sure thing, along with Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2 and Gears 2. The only original game I'll be playing looks to be that Mirror's Edge game. Pretty good split between systems, and I guess if Far Cry 2 is good, the PC might get something too.

[The Fake Shemp]

Oh, I forgot to add DEAD SPACE to that list.  It's going to be my annual Halloween gaming fix.

[duckman2000]

Good point. Dead Space looks hot.

Is Alpha Protocol coming out this year, or is that a 2009 game?

[Bildi]

Dead Space is top of my list.  I just started watching the animated comics (fuck, there's a lot of swearing).  Otherwise, I can't wait for:

Fable 2
Fallout 3
Farcry 2
Tom Raider: Underworld
Prince of Persia
Mirror's Edge
Gears 2

For me, this year has even more stuff than last year.

[Great Rumbler]

Here's the games I'm most looking forward to:

-Mirror's Edge
-Fallout 3
-Dead Space
-Left 4 Dead
-Spore
-Saints Row 2
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky

All of which are on PC, oddly enough.

[Joe Molotov]

Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, Spore, Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir, and Red Alert 3, and Rock Band 2.

[Vizzys]

left 4 dead (pc & maybe 360 ver as well)
gears of war 2 for sure
persona 4
little big planet
mirrors edge
I liked fable so maybe fable 2


im forgetting a bunch

[Cormacaroni]

Mirror's Edge
Little Big Planet
Prince of Persia
Fallout 3
Gears 2
Dead Space

will probably pass on at least 3 of those depending on reviews. And will probably get to play no more than a few hours of any of them

[demi]

All of them

Except anything made by Tim Schafer or Jonathan Blow

And Sony

[Tabasco]

Gears 2, Motorstorm 2, L4D, Saints Row 2, and Fallout 3 are must plays.

Notch below are Mirror's Edge, Far Cry 2, PoP.

Below that is a bunch of avg games I'll play like Resistance 2, Treyarch Duo, and Tomb Raider.

On fence with Dead Space (don't like scary), LBP (no interest in creating levels, so is it fun then?), and all the other racing games.

[Eel O'Brian]

RB2
BiA
LBP
GH4
F3
COD

[Enl]

Prince of Persia is coming out this year? If so that's really bad timimg.

For me I'm definitely getting:

Fallout 3
Little Big Planet
Gears of War 2
Left4Dead

Dead Space and Mirror's Edge if they turns out good
Maybe Resistance 2 and PoP at some point

[siamesedreamer]

In order:

1) Fable 2
2) PoP
3) Chrono Trigger (never played it)
.

Why the Schafer hate?

I don't like him.

[Tucah]

Oh wow, I completely forgot about Rock Band 2.

[fistfulofmetal]

Rock Band 2 and LBP are the only sure buys.

I'm looking forward to Gameflying a lot of shit, though.

[drohne]

thunderforce 6, lbp, and the new prince of persia, mainly. i'll definitely play resistance 2 and gears 2, though neither game seems very interesting to me at the moment. also interested in mirror's edge, fallout 3, motorstorm 2...probably all sorts of shit i'm not thinking of

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I preordered Banjo.  I don't normally do that kind of shit but since they're offering a free code for Banjo on XBLA I thought I'd bite.

Other than that, the guaranteed buys from me are -

Fallout 3
Spore
Fable 2
LBP




Rentals -

Mirror's Edge
Prince of Persia.....how could a game that looks that good seem so boring?  Drake of Persia total.
Gears of War 2
Left 4 Dead
Tomb Raider Underworld
Call of Duty World at War
Resistance 2....only if I'm bored out of my fucking mind

[cool breeze]

A lot of things, but most of all both LittleBigPlanet and Fallout 3.

[laesperanzapaz]

i hate scary games or rpgs or gimmmicky ones so...

Mirror edge
Chrono + DQ4 [the exception!]
GoW2
that new Tomb Raider with the hotter new chick modeling
PoP
maybe Spore

hmmm i'm not excited about gaming anymore.  i'm getting old :/

[Grecco]

I have a bunch of shit on my list. Stuff like Chrono Trigger for sure, Samba de Amigo, Fallout, Prince of Persia but my most wanted games for sure are


1.RockBand2 in September
2.Fable 2 in October
3.Mirrors Edge whenever that comes out

[tiesto]

Infinite Undiscovery (this week!!!)
DQ4
Mega Man 9
Star Ocean PSP

[EmCeeGrammar]

Q4 starts in October right?

Ive recently decided that after I get a pc Ill pick up a 360 for cheaps at some point.  The only games I'm interested in are the Gears and Pinanta sequels, and xbla.  Im really looking forward to City Folk alot. The animal crossing series is a great premise, and the synthesis of the ds and gcn feature sets with wiiconnect 24 makes me think Ill be able to maintain interest for even longer.

If mm9 is a small download I'll grab that as well.

[CajoleJuice]

i don't even know

L4D
gears 2...maybe?
rb2

uhhhh

edit: And whats weird is I have no desire to play my ds anymore. Im sure pocket paradise and Rhythm Heaven will be great games, but Im just not enthusiastic for portable gaming anymore.

edit: I hit quote instead of modify. I blame the ADD.

[Great Rumbler]

Only Gears 2, PoP, and Mirror's Edge. What a sad fucking year for games. 2007 shat all over 2008.

Not really.

[The Fake Shemp]

Last year was a lot better, unless all you own is a PS3.

PC and Xbox 360 owned last year.

[Bocsius]

Speaking of last year, I'm looking forward to Halo 3.

[Solo]

Only Gears 2, PoP, and Mirror's Edge. What a sad fucking year for games. 2007 shat all over 2008.

Not really.

Really. Mass Effect, BioShock, Assassin's Creed, Crysis, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Rock Band, Super Mario Galaxy, The Witcher, Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, Uncharted, The Orange Box, etc.

[duckman2000]

Speaking of last year, I'm looking forward to Halo 3.

I'm sure you will greatly enjoy those 4 hours.

[Bildi]

It depends on your gaming tastes as to whether this year is better.  Halo 3, Mass Effect, COD4, and Orange Box didn't interest me last year which knocked a significant wad of games out (love Half Life 2 but once is enough).

This year has about twice as many games as last year for me.  Both are kick-ass years really.

[Van Cruncheon]

this year rocks last year. i generally don't shit bricks for big budget overdeveloped tosh.

[Bloodwake]

Purchase Confirmed on:

Little Big Planet
Fallout 3
Silent Hill: Homecoming
Mega Man 9
Spore (though most likely not at first)

Will watch to see how these games are doing:
Fable 2 (don't expect much)
Gears of War 2 (lol, will borrow from a friend a week later and beat in a day)
Mirror's Edge
Force Unleashed
Banjo-Kazooie 3 (collectathon fears rising)

if you loved HL2, why didn't episode 2 interest you...? 

for all the non-fegs, orange box was ep2, TF2, portal -- HL2 was just an extra gift we threw at a cigarillo.
