I am getting:

-Far Cry 2 (360)
-Fable II (360)
-Tetris Party (Wii Ware)
-Tenchu 4 (Wii)
-Akumajou Dracula: Ubawareta Kokuin (DS)

Looking forward to Tenchu 4 and Castlevania the most. It's an odd week when I want Nintendo platform titles the most. Tetris is already out in J-Land; it's okay for what it is and has some different modes, including one that uses the Wii Balance Board, plus there is online play. I did expect a bit more from the graphics and visuals, frankly. EA's iPhone Tetris is much, much slicker and has better music than the Wii version, plus it's cheaper.

Castlevania Order Of Ecclesia
Spider-Man Web Of Shadows (360)
Fable 2
Far Cry 2 (PC)

And after hearing about Midnight Club L.A. Remix on 1upyours, I want to learn more about the game to see if I will pick it up. I played Midnight Club 3 on my PSP so much.

Fable 2 shipped from Gamefly this morning, I'm excited for that. I'm hoping to beat Dead Space tonight after work. I'm going to pick up Far Cry 2 for cheap when I build a new PC some time next year.

bork · « **Reply #6 on:** October 20, 2008, 12:39:42 PM »

I'm gonna "try" out Midnight Club LA Remix on PSP and see if it's any good. MC3 PSP was great, horrific load times aside.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #7 on:** October 20, 2008, 12:39:49 PM »

Spyro
Fable II
Castlevania

Midnight Club 3 on PSP was actually one of the only games I 'illegally' downloaded despite already owning the physical UMD of it. Apparently the Euro version or some later release of the game didn't have the long load times, so that plus running it using CFW made it so much more enjoyable.

The J-Version of Castlevania is up and has just downloaded. I think I am not getting any sleep tonight! Probably gonna re-play it again once the English ROM is released. I want to buy the game to support Konami though, so I am getting it thursday.

What is Tetris Party?

Yet another version of Tetris. Has Wii Board support in one mode, but it's focus is on multiplayer both offline and online. Uses your Miis too, negative points for that.

I'm waiting on Guitar Hero until it's absolutely 100% confirmed that the Rock Band 1 PS3 instruments work with it.

I'm not paying for it.

I wouldnt even take it for free

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #26 on:** October 20, 2008, 05:01:39 PM »

Getting Far Cry 2 eventually, but it'll probably be a post-Christmas pickup.

TVC15 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 20, 2008, 05:03:00 PM »

Eternal Sonata is better than FF12 and IU, easily.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #28 on:** October 20, 2008, 05:07:08 PM »

I agree

cool breeze · « **Reply #29 on:** October 20, 2008, 06:02:58 PM »

IU wasn't that bad

tiesto · « **Reply #30 on:** October 20, 2008, 07:39:09 PM »

Unless IU gets horrible after cutting down the second chain (I wouldn't know b/c that's when my 360 died

), there's no way it's worse than Eternal Sonata, shitty ogre chase and forest crawl aside.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #31 on:** October 20, 2008, 07:40:13 PM »

IU's battle system was stupid. You cant even use items in a fight without accessing a full screen menu and going down like 2 layers of menus to get to items, all the while shit is hitting you. Fuck the people who liked it. FUCK THEMMMMMM

cool breeze · « **Reply #32 on:** October 20, 2008, 08:13:06 PM »

The point of it is that you aren't really supposed to use items yourself, your supposed to have some bitch healer do all that stuff for you while you fight. Like FF12, it is built as a single player PSO type game that forces you to rely on the teammates.

originalz · « **Reply #33 on:** October 20, 2008, 08:38:26 PM »

Yeah, IU would have made a good foundation for an MMO-type game. If you took it for as it was, then it's not a bad game. Having more control over your allies would have been a huge boost tho.

Mrbob · « **Reply #34 on:** October 20, 2008, 08:42:47 PM »

I have Fable 2 on the buy list as well with Far Cry 2 being rented.

I'll probably get Castlevania, the rest can wait for cheaper days.

That's BULLSHIT.

I just made the horrible realization that I have a lot of school work I need to get done. I don't know how I'm going to concentrate on writing a boring ass paper about some shitty country when I have Fable 2, Far Cry 2, Castlevania, and Spider-Man to play.

demi · « **Reply #39 on:** October 21, 2008, 03:08:51 PM »

Castlevania DS am out, heading out to get Fable 2 later today

Mrbob · « **Reply #40 on:** October 21, 2008, 04:19:11 PM »

Damn I forgot I had Fable 2 in my gamerang queue. Looks like I'm not buying it as the game shipped out today.

cool breeze · « **Reply #41 on:** October 21, 2008, 05:12:27 PM »

Gonna go to Gamestop to see what they have in. I know Castlevania is out, but hopefully Fable 2 is as well. Gonna rape the shit out of my wallet.
