Wow! I see five games on that list I want. I've preordered FEAR and Quake 4. And I want X3, CoD2 and possibly Serious Sam II (the demo didn't do much for me).

I would get them all...if only there were time to play them all. I have all the consoles, and but not a huge amount of games for each, as there are only so many hours one can spend gaming (sadly :D )
I only have one hand held console (GBA-SP) and no plans to get any more of them, for money reasons only time constraints being a second reason. $250 for a PSP? No thanks, I'd rather curl up on my couch playing PS2.

Thing is, only Civ4 can be counted on to be a class act.

Shit, Stubbs snuck up on me.

And there's even more stuff I'm looking forward to on the consoles like 'Shadow of the Collosus' and Digital Devil Saga 2.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm most excited about Vietcong 2, seeing as how the original was absolutely amazing. I'm talking about the imported version with the foul language. And with all of the patches, of course.

X3: Reunion is also looking amazing, but I don't think it will be out this year. I heard Feb. 2006 instead.

Of course Battlefront 2, I can't believe I forgot to mention that. Battlefront 1 was a solid game, with high replay value, if you ask me. But I did think the part with the Wookies was too dark to really see things clearly.

I'm already playing Battlefront 2, and it's teh awesome!!!111one. My favorite character so far is Obi-wan Kenobi.

My favorite non-hero character is the Bothan Spy. Incinerator = best weapon ever.

There are many improvements over the last one, Battlefront 2 will be a great game.


Anyway there are TONS of games I want next month, most of them for the DS.


For DS this year:

*Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team
*Mario Kart DS
*Sonic Rush
*Burnout Legends
*Tony Hawk's American Sk8land (it's one of the first online games, so I'll probably buy it even though I'm not a TH fan at all)
*Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
*Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble
*Animal Crossing: Wild World



Then there's SWBF2, and for GameCube,

*Mega Man X Collection
*Shadow the Hedgehog

Age of Empires III is coming out in about two weeks. As an old time AoE addict I look forward to this release. But Civ IV is most definately the game I've been waiting for since last year. I expect many sleepless nights ahead.

AoE 3! I want to get that one myself, as I also am addicted to the series. I find the original AoE still entertaining, if fact I like it better than AoE 2, which I found dissapointing even though you had hand cannons. The reason for this is that the other side always gets to the imperial age too fast. And I found the map editor easier to use in the original AoE.
Age of mythology was good, better than original AoE, but there was only 3 sides to choose from.
Hopefully AoE 3 will be better than all of them. I know a guy who has it pre-ordered so I can examine it just as soon as it comes out.

Well to hell with X4-6 and this crappy racing game. X1-3 are all that matters, dammit.

I actually liked X5 and X6. I borrowed the disks from a friend and stuck em in an emulator on my PC because I don't have a playstation, played through them and gave them back. Great games IMHO.

And I'd love to play X2 and X3 without a keyboard and mouse, and a proper way to save.
