What are your must buy games for Winter?

[rabidrabbit]

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Haze
Warhawk
Heavenly Sword
Lair
GTA4
Little Big Planet
Super Stardust HD
WipEout HD

and of course MGS4, if it is released this winter.

I will only be able to buy maximum five of those games this year, the rest will have to wait.
It will be a tough decision, and with all the unannounced games too.

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot the Wii.... um... is Mario Galaxy coming this winter?

It's really hard to say for sure until the games are out and I've a better sense of what they're like, but judging by promise thusfar...

GTA IV
LittleBigPlanet
Halo3
Warhawk
Crysis
Ratchet&Clank Future
Super Mario Galaxy (I believe this is 07...?)
Beyond the Sword (Civ IV expansion..hopefully accompanied by a Vista patch!)
Heavenly Sword

There's many many more I'm interested in, and may well buy a lot of them also, but I was trying to be really picky, and only include those I'm fairly certain I will must have. I'm assuming Metal Gear Solid 4 is not a 07 title.

 

[Npl]

For PC:
UT3

PSP:
God of War
Final Fantasy (dont think its showing up this year though)

If I`d be getting a PS3 this year:
Uncharted
R&C
GTA4 (theres no way im playing this on a PC)

 

[mrcorbo]

My list of musts:

Mass Effect
Halo 3
GTA IV
GH III and/or Rock Band (w/ drum periph)
NBA 2k8 or NBA LIVE 2008

I'm also very likely to get Madden '08 (I skipped '07) pending reviews/demo.

There's a lot of other games on the 360 release list that I'd consider buying as well if I can find the time to play them and they had good reviews/demos. Specifically, Assassin's Creed, Lost Odyssey, SC:Conviction are games that I don't really know enough about yet to say they are must buys, but that have grabbed my attention.

I guess I should've edited my earlier post. But that way no one gets to see the brilliant insight I bring to this thread...

Alan Wake.

I'm hoping like crazy it hits this year.

Also, has anyone heard any updates on APB?

 

[Tap In]

my top picks releasing between Oct 7th and Dec 2nd that I will playing sometime in the next 6 months

NBA 2K9
Dead Space
Saints Row 2
Fable II
Far Cry 2
Fallout 3
Gears of War 2
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Call of Duty: World at War
Tomb Raider Underworld
Prince of Persia

I'm guessing you bumped the wrong thread?

I'm guessing you bumped the wrong thread?

haha... sure did... that's what I get for trusting the auto-find similar thread feature.

 

[Arwin]

I made a thread for this though, search for shopping list 2008. I 'll hunt for it myself.

EDIT: wtf? It's gone! My 2007 one is still there but the 2008 one has disappeared. And I was so sure I'd posted one already!

 

[-tkf-]

This will do just fine...

Little Big Planet is my only 100% certain purchase.
Wipeout HD

Waiting for demos of:
Motorstorm 2 (real demo)
Tomb Raider
Resistance 2

When the Wii drops in price, and by drop i mean a solid drop i will get mario galaxy, what a fantastic little gem of SD gaming

 

[Arwin]

No no, I found it. You must go here!

[Cheezdoodles]

Little big planet.
Um... Killzone 2 if the reviews are nice.
R2 depending on demo.
Fifa 09.
Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 depending on reviews\demo.

 

[NERO]

Bioshock (PC)
MGS4 (if I decide on PS3)
Blue Dragon (If I decide on 360)
Mario Galaxy (when I find a Wii)

It was weird seeing this as an active thread but I guess I'll see what's next.

I did get a PS3 for MGS4 (liked it) and Bioshock will be my next game.
I did find a Wii and played Mario Galaxy (loved it).

Otherwise there is nothing I am overly excited by although I am intrigued by LBP.

 

[assen]

Gears 2, Far Cry 2, Call of Duty 5, Guitar Hero WT, Guitar Hero: Metallica, Prince of Persia. And I have to catch up with the Summer of Arcade titles (mainly Braid and Geometry Wars 2, I'm having too much fun playing Castle Crashers coop at the office to even think about playing it by myself).

Wow where to begin, so many games for this fall and winter. I dont know how I will be able to make some time to play them all.

Atleast I will continue with the following games to begin with.

Stalker Clear Sky
Fallout 3
Far Cry 2 (depends on final AI and gameplay impressions)
GTA4
Witcher ED

 

[obonicus]

For winter? That's a long ways away, and usually not that exciting. Uh, I hope inFamous, Heavy Rain, GoW3 are out by then. Maybe Prototype will be delayed again? Maybe the next Halo game will be out in september?

It's really hard to plan so far ahead: for once Sony's 'games you won't see for a while' strategy pays off, I guess.
