Summer almost over and the fall gaming releases are starting to ramp up. What games are you excited for the rest of the year? Here are my most probable purchases.

Multi:

Tekken 6: I've always had fun with the Tekken series, even though it peaked for me at Tekken 3, but the promise of online play makes this a must buy. Hopefully, Namco has improved their netcode. Tekken 5:DR and SCIV had spotty netcode, which hampered their online play. Japanese studios have gotten much better of late with online netcode, and hopefully Tekken 6 will continue to raise the bar, but I'm skeptical.

PlayStation 3:

Uncharted 2: I loved the prequel. It was a solid B plus effort and the sequel looks much more polished. Hopefully Naughty Dog introduces more variety and some of the prequels set pieces got repetitive after while.

Wii:

New Super Mario Brothers Wii: I'm a sucker for Mario games and I enjoyed the DS incarnation, though the game has many haters. While not at the level of SMB3/SMW, the game was a fun platformer that evoked the simple, tight level design of SMB1/3.

Not many purchases, but I mostly rent anyway. But the following games also pique my interest:
Brutal Legend
RockBand: Beatles
Demon's Soul
L4D2
Scribblenauts
Soul Calibur PSP

I totally forgot about Way of the Samurai 3. Add that to my list.

Will feel good ignoring handheld gaming & the Wii for the most part and just playing good time 2009 games. If most of those turn out good, it should be a nice holiday season.

cool breeze · « **Reply #11 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:55:47 AM »

While it is annoying that a lot of the big games (most importantly Splinter Cell Conviction

) are now 2010, it's nice to have good gaps between these games. Only annoying time is late October when Alpha Protocol, new Ratchet and Gay Tony all come out on the same day (and Forza 3, too). I just got interested in the new Ratchet game yesterday when I saw that new video that makes it seem like the structure is a mix between Mario Galaxy, Wind Waker (boat areas) and old Ratchet games. Plus, there is some kind of shading they have on everything now that makes it look really good. I don't get how they can make the Ratchet PS3 games look so good, then make a butt ugly game like Resistance 2 that uses google maps as ground textures.

If Perfect Dark XBLA is this year, I'm getting that too.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #12 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:56:35 AM »

It's all about MODERN WARFARE 2.

I will probably ask for Brutal Legend and Borderlands for Hannukah. Other than maybe ODST, I'm not interested in anything else.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #13 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:57:48 AM »

I'm thinking about asking for Uncharted 2 for Christmas. My wife's parents always get me a game if I ask.

Enl · « **Reply #14 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:06:56 AM »

Boy and His Blob
Muramasa
NSMB Wii
Raiden IV
Perfect Dark
Vandal Hearts
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Mario and Luigi 3
Left4Dead 2

Still have my backlog of last year to go through, and last year titles I haven't picked up yet.

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #15 on:** September 08, 2009, 03:04:00 AM »

Muramasa
Halo 3 ODST
Borderlands
Forza 3
Demon's Souls
Katamari Forever (will buy on the used)
Bayonetta
Final Fantasy XIII

Also might buy Way of the Samurai 3, but my backlog is huge and I have to go to school and shit.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Backlog:
Persona 4 (FINISHING TONIGHT, BITCHES or tomorrow)
Tales of Vesperia
Zelda Twilight Princess
Blue Dragon
Ninja Blade
Halo Wars
Super Mario Galaxy
Lost Planet
Mass Effect

Of these, I'll probably finish Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon, and Ninja Blade. Why do I buy videogames, again?

Raban · « **Reply #16 on:** September 08, 2009, 03:18:11 AM »

I'm debating on whether or not I should get a PS3 or a new computer. If I get a PS3, it's Brutal Legend, Lost Planet 2 and Uncharted 2. If it's a PC... well, I'll be played a shit-load of old games like Full Throttle, Tron 2.0, Grim Fandango (if I can get it to work), Far Cry 2, a ton of old shit because PC games are kind of slow-going now for me. At least until Diablo 3 comes about, but the more I see of that game the less I seem to care. Probably because it's been in development for millennia.

Beezy · « **Reply #17 on:** September 08, 2009, 03:27:01 AM »

Just Modern Warfare 2 for me. If I have the money I'll also get:

Raiden IV
Assassin's Creed 2
Left 4 Dead 2

Edit: Also, Perfect Dark on XBLA.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 08, 2009, 03:37:38 AM »

Buying Modern Warfare 2, and that's it. It's a shame that Conviction got pushed into 2010. I'll get Ratchet, if I get the PS3 fixed.

Bildi · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2009, 03:59:53 AM »

DiRT 2 & Assassin's Creed 2 for sure.
Saboteur, NFS Shift, Forza 3 also look interesting.

I'm sure other stuff will pop up.

-Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2009, 05:28:15 AM »

I'm not sure if I want to buy a ds for the .... I think eighth time, just to play scribblenaughts. It seems like the kind of a game that could work on any hardware and will probably pop up somewhere else down the road.

The definites:

Nsmb Wii: I enjoyed the ds version although I traded it back in for various reasons. I'm seeing alot of cool level design in the show floor demos.

Silent Hill Shattered Memories: I've been shying away from extensive single player games but theres alot of elements here aligning to my tastes. I'm a novelty whore who looks forward to the psychological profiling and the IR flashlight.

Warioware DIY: No solid release date besides TBA 09 but the ds retail release will coincide with the wiiware version. The editing tools and connectivity will probably force me to get a dsi.

Shaun White 10- First one was surprisingly well made and the balance board controls were fun. Kinda ignored it for awhile and traded it in when I heard a sequel was coming.

Maybe if I'm super bored:
A Boy and His blob- I hear good things about wayforward
Rabbids go home- ubisoft katamari damacy
TMNT smash up: Still butthurt over no turtles in time for me.
Cave Story: I have to wonder if this is ever coming out.
Night Game: " "
Wii Fit+: The routine building seems like a big step up. Don't care about the new minigames at all though.
Sakura Wars- Reads like a fruity srpg ,but I could use an srpg fix.

Not interested unless theres a huge amount of praise:
Dead Space Extraction

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2009, 07:57:11 AM »

Pretty sure Modern Warfare 2 will be it for me.

Third · « **Reply #24 on:** September 08, 2009, 09:41:39 AM »

1. Uncharted 2
2. Gran Turismo 5
3. Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (Ps3)
3. Ratchet & Clank A Crack in Time
4. God Of War Collection
5. PixelJunk Shooter
6. NSMB Wii
7. Jak and Daxter Last Frontier (PSP)
8. GTA cigarillo Tony
9. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
10. Forza 3

And maybe Tekken 6.

Bocsius · « **Reply #25 on:** September 08, 2009, 09:56:45 AM »

ODST will be my first 2009 game, Dragon Age the second. (I've bought a few pre-09 games this year.)

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #26 on:** September 08, 2009, 10:17:54 AM »

I make a point of buying the niche games first at full price and the big production games much later on when they're cheaper, I know who needs my money more. So my definites for this year include...

Way of the Samurai 3
Arcade Shooter: Illvelo
Scribblenauts
A Boy and His Blob
at least one XSeed game
and a whole buncha downloadable games.

oh, and Miles Edgeworth for the gf.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #27 on:** September 08, 2009, 10:27:35 AM »

Fer Sure

Fallout 3 GOTY
Dragon Age Origins

Maybe (depending on the opinions of my fellow gamer scum)

Alpha Protocol
Brutal Legend

I'll probably get Dragon Age for the REPUBLIC OF GAMERS and if I bother getting the rest I'll get 'em for 360.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #28 on:** September 08, 2009, 10:50:48 AM »

PS3
Uncharted 2

360
cigarillo Tony/LatD disc release
Modern Warfare 2

PC
Maybe Borderlands
Maybe L4D2

tiesto · « **Reply #29 on:** September 08, 2009, 10:57:36 AM »

The only game I want is New Super Mario Bros Wii, so far. Maybe Mario and Luigi 3, but I haven't played any of the other M&L games. And maybe Uncharted 2 just for something pretty to look at. And maybe I will get the new COD game for free again, I don't think I'd actually run out and buy it though. The girl at Gamestop keeps telling me I should check out Scribblenauts but I still don't really get the hype. Will get Fallout 3 GOTY eventually when it drops in price, just to have all the DLC on a disk.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #30 on:** September 08, 2009, 03:22:43 PM »

360

Akala · « **Reply #34 on:** September 08, 2009, 06:38:28 PM »

I think the only two games I'm buying day one for the rest of this year are Beatles RB and Demon's Souls. Will wait for the Amazon and Steam Black Friday sales.

E-DuB · « **Reply #35 on:** September 08, 2009, 11:35:39 PM »

Sure Bets

Beatles: Rockband
NHL 2010
Tekken 6 for the fight stick
COD: Modern Heroin 2

I'll give Uncharted a whirl between now and the end of the year and if I like it I'll move on Uncharted 2
