I also might grab a PS2 to check out Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and God of War... I hate the PS2 controller, though, so it might not happen. :p It'll have to be really, really cheap for me to bump one of the 360 games off the list.

God of War and Shadow of the Colossus are AMAZING (although Shadow of the Colossus should have had regular enemies, not just bosses)
It might be hard to find ICO, because it was an overall flop in the states, and didn't sell very well in Europe or Asia. I really wanna buy it new, but nobody sells it, and i don't wanna use ebay

Interestingly enough....during a Phil Harrison interview, he talked about bringing such games to PSN to widen the scope. Like games that were never released, only released in certain regions, or just did okay as a regularly priced game, etc - such games could do decent at a marked down price available for download. We'll just have to wait and see.

what? dude seriously.... the game was perfect (well near, framerate issues and the camera could be a little annoying). Having no normal enemies was an excellent choice by the dev, it would have just added filler to the game. It was a puzzle game much more than an action/adventure game imho.


Anyways

This is what I have pre-ordered, and I ain't buyin nothin else (or my gf will kill me...seriously)

PS3
R&CF:ToD
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
Assassin's Creed
Uncharted (if it comes out this year)

360
GTA IV
Bioshock
Mass Effect
CoD4 (since all my buddies only have 360 so I will wanna play with them)
Halo 3

Wii
Mario

PSP
FFT: Lions War

MBP w/ Bootcamp
Half Life 2: Ep. 2 + portal + team fortress 2 :D FINALLLY!!!!!!!!


I will definitely rent Lair, Stranglehold and maybe Metroid, and who knows about some VC/PSN/XBL games... hopefully no good ones come out :D
 
Wii
Metroid Prime 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Zack and Wiki
Tales of Symphonia: Ratatoskr no Kishi (Though I doubt this will be out this year)
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles

Xbox 360
Mass Effect
Stranglehold
Blue Dragon
GTA4
Assassin's Creed
Call of Duty 4

Unfortunately, I don't have the money for all of these. :(
 
OMGWTFBBQ! I just went to EBGames and put all the new releases and coming soon [listed with a release date prior to 1/1/08] games I'm looking forward to into a cart just to see. $1,500!!! Add almost $400 for the games coming out in early 2008 and I'll be needing a 2nd and 3rd job to cover it all. Of course, working 24/7 leaves no time to actually play any of these games. I think I'll have some paring down to do...:rolleyes:

edit deleted games already purchased and some titles that I'll wait for a price drop or pick up used. Down to a scant $1,000 now.

PS3
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Assassin's Creed
GTA IV
Little Big Planet

PSP
God of War: Chains of Olympus
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles

Xbox 360
Bioshock
Halo 3
Guitar Hero III
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Rock Band - getting the bundle

lol I'll save you some money.

Splinter Cell isn't coming out this year, Uncharted is not 100%, Little Big Planet probably isn't, and God Of War is '08 too.

Thanks, but those are just a drop in a big ass bucket!:p Move 'em into '08 and tack on all the MGS games coming [MGS4, MGO, MGPO+] plus god only knows what I'm forgetting.:eek:
 
I'm getting a Wii. It's the best console around right now, plus IT'S FUN TO PLAY! Take note Microsoft and Sony, it's called FUN!

Wii
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros.
Manhunt 2
Metroid 3

PS2
WWE Smackdown vs. RAW

DS
Zelda Phantom Hourglass

The next console, I will get, after the Wii is a PS3. The Xbox 360, though a great system, is giving me a Dreamcast vibe to it. I don't think it's to be around much longer. Sony and Nintendo, I think, already have paved the future of the industry. With Nintendo focusing on gameplay, Sony with amazing graphics; definitely NOT the Sixaxis, stroke anyone?

Well considering that almost half the game is riding around on your horse looking for the Colossus, it might have been nice to have something else to do
 
Almost everything coming out for the Wii that's been listed, plus a few more if the fancy strikes me.

Jimmi I thought you had preorderd Res4 and bought it already?

Paul
 
I had it pre-ordered but I cancelled it and bought some VC points instead. Figured I'll pick RE4 up when it's £14.99. Just doesn't seem like a Summer jolly game for me, but I'll have it for Winter I hope.
 
For me:

360
Halo 3
Assassins Creed
Mass Effect
MoH: Airborne
CoD4
Aces of Combat 6 (can't stop playing the demo!!)
Bioshock

I think I'll be purchasing rather than renting all of the above... with the possible exception of Assassins Creed. I want to see the review of the gameplay first...

Wii
Hmmm. Dunno. It all went so quiet on the Wii its on loan to my brother.
Galaxies, Brawl and the new Metroid Prime I guess, but I may just wait until they release the Wii in different colours before getting back into it.

PS3
Don't own one.
Yet.
If there is a UK price cut I'll get one before xmas, and if so Killzone 2 is on that list!
