Why must they taunt us so... Considering this month we had the following released or are about to be released

FPS
FEAR, Quake IV, Call of Duty 2, Lost Coast, Battlefront II

Strat
Civ4, Black and White 2, Age of Empires III.

Freeform/Platform
Black and White 2, Ultimate Spiderman, Shadow of the Colossus


And of course many various game mods(Of which Forgotten Hope's .7 I'm most intrested).

Feel free to mention any I left off there.


All told thats over four hundred dollers of gaming goodness(Plus your free games or your Lost coast types) that are quality games.

How oh how can one make up your mind with all these wonderful options?(Some better than others of course)

So what are you picking up from the gaming blitz?

I want to get Stubbs the Zombie, The Warriors, Gun, and Spartan: Total Warrior.

I'll be downloading all of the FPS games in your list, with the possible exception of Lost Coast.

I'm downloading the AoE demo as we speak, I'm hoping to be able to borrow a copy of B&W2 off someone back home to see if it runs on my laptop (don't think it will) and I'll probably end up buying CIV4 at some point too. The rest, not so fussed about, but might try out a few demos.

I have B&W2 already, though I've not really gotten into it. I'll be getting X3 this friday when it's out

Wow I didnt realise how many games I bought in the past couple of weeks. I have B&W2, Quake 4, Stubbs. And Battle Front II is on order. No wounder I didnt do to hot on that last exam I had.

For PC: I'm tempted to buy both Rome: Barbarian Invasions and FEAR. The downside with FEAR is i'll have to buy RAM with it as well

Nintendo DS: Tempted to buy the new Castlevania since that's pretty much fun guaranteed

PSP: waiting for GTA: Liberty Stories. As long as I don't have to upgrade anyway since I've played more Snes roms on it than anything else

Currently downloading the long awaited Stalingrad mod for close combat5

And than there is offcourse a daily dose of Eve that has to be played ass well

Serious Sam 2 is also great fun to play (albeit not on XBos, as far as I've heard): You slaughter thousands of various monsters in a funny environment, you always know where to go next and there are no puzzles to solve. Great!

Battlefront 2 and AoE3 are my fav. I'll get them both as soon as possible.

Battlefront II is on the top of my list.

I heard tell from some that the battlefront beta is not a huge improvement over the first game. I heard it still has the old "Super-slow blaster bolt" Syndrome.

Nintendo DS:

Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team

Mario Kart DS

Burnout Legends

Sonic Rush

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble

Animal Crossing: Wild World





I'm also curious about Shadow the Hedgehog for GameCube and definitely want the Megaman X Collection.

Don't buy FEAR.

No, don't buy FEAR. It's lame.

I'm looking forward to Oblivion.

Dont by FEAR its not very good.

Im waiting for Battlefront 2

When does Oblivion come out, by the way? I heard somewhere it was supposed to be released early-to-mid November.

It is, generally speaking, not a good idea to announce to the world that you are planning on infringing copyright.

Apparently Oblivion is due early November, but noone seems very confident so it may be later.

I understand. In my opinion, however, the probability of consequences due to that sole announcement is infinitesimal.

Wautd, Ignore the naysayers - FEAR is great fun so long as you are willing to immerse yourself in it, all my friends are enjoying it too. As people pointed out you will need that extra RAM for alot of new games regardless of if you get FEAR or not, 512mb doesn't cut it anymore for the sheer size of textures getting thrown about. Quake 4 is definately worth a look too if you get the extra RAM.

As for games I can't wait for - Civ 4 and Call of Duty 2, then later Oblivion.

You're wrong. Mods like me take specific action to prune people who draw attention to the board via proposing illegal activities on it. So don't do it.

I apologize. Please note that my reference to consequences was to actual, legal consequences -- not to those on this board.

I can't touch most of these, I can't even bring myself to look for them at shops because dammit, all those will only run my PC on Low.

I'll be getting most of those games though, even if it takes me a year.
