    Damn, I want Alan Wake asap.

    Of course, I'm hoping that I have enough of a budget to treat myself to a few others depending on reviews (AC in particular comes to mind).

    Also updated some minor release info (Singstar got a fixed date, Lair further delayed)

    I've been going through a "complete my older games before buying any new ones" phase recently.

    Recently completed Serious Sam 2, Tomb Raider Legend, HL2:Ep1 and Halo 2 (all PC).

    I'm currently working my way through Doom 3: Ressurection or Evil (a far better game than many give it credit for and also very good looking even by todays standards). Once done with that I will have completed all my currently owned games that I care about completing apart from Oblivion and NFS: Most Wanted but I'm going to park those for the time being.

    As for the new series of games being released, I recently purchased Orange Box which I intend to complete before buying anything else. So once D3 is complete, its on to Portal and than EP2. TF2 isn't a game you can actually complete so i'll just keep that as a "play when I feel like it" game.

    Beyond EP2 my list looks something like this (in rough order of preference):

    Unreal Tournament 3 (PC)
    Crysis (PC)
    Call of Duty 4 (PC)
    Bioshock (PC)
    Halo 3 (360)
    Gears of War (PC)

    If I actually manage to get through all that and end up with nothing to play in the next 6 months or so before anything else great is released then I might also pick up C&C 3.

    Just ordered Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank from amazon.co.uk ... :)
    Now there's just SingStar and Guitar Hero III to deal with ... I think I'll have to ask donations towards funds for these games for Christmas, especially Guitar Hero III is expensive, don't have a guitar yet (though maybe if I can get a wired one cheaper I think I actually prefer that).

    Once all my essential purchases have been done with, I'll have

    Tekken Online
    Eye of Judgment
    Uncharted
    Ratchet & Clank
    Guitar Hero III
    SingStar

    (plus already owned:

    Heavenly Sword
    MotorStorm
    Resistance)

    ... and probably won't need new games for at least 4-6 months, lol.

    I have 3 games, which are some of my favourites ever. I'm planning to buy Guitar Hero 3 the first day it comes out next week and that's it. I have the wired guitar, the Xplorer controler from Guitar Hero 2 and I play this game coop with another person who prefers the gamepad, so I'll probably buy the game disc alone.

    In the future (2008), I'll buy Mass Effect (not my style, though), probably, Assassin's Creed and MANY MANY others I'd like to try; Alan Wake, a baseball game, some sports games, Rock Band (not sure) and a lot of others I can't remember of.., like I did with my first console. I ended up with a big library of games, although I didn't beat most of them.

    I played -again-, Gears of War recently -a month ago- and while it's a very good game and GeoW 2 sounds like a very interesting game, I got bored of it and I didn't even get past the first stage (I had beaten the game when it came out already, though).

    Rangers, have you ever tried Guitar Hero? I'm pretty sure you'd like it.

    I don't know about Pro Street but NFS: Most Wanted was a funny game, and that's what matters. Your blush smilie is comprehensible, though, since it's a very particular and "unpopular" choice but it's all about taste

    Why'd you choose the PS3 version out of interest? The 360 version has some free DLC and was patched to allow more of the song content to be played off the bat (one of the major criticisms of the game IIRC). What advantages swayed you the other way?

    The DLC doesn't matter too much for me (most of that is available on PSN too) and I can wait for the PS3 patches ;) (DLC works, so that will work too). Besides, there are cheats available already for unlocking all the songs.

    The best thing about the 360 is apparently that you can pick someone from your friend's list to play against, whereas the PS3 version only allows you to play with/against others randomly. I'm hoping they'll patch that in the future, but I don't know if they will. This almost swayed me towards the 360 version, but I wanted to try the PS3 version anyway because:

    1. my PS3 is in the living room, and this is a game I'd like to play in the living room, and have fun with with other people in the living room. Both picture and sound are much better in the living room, for obvious reasons. Also more comfortable.
    2. the 360 is far too friggin loud (partly why it's not in the living room) and if there's anything that I hate that particularly with, it's during a game that I have to actively use my ears. In other games, I can use sound to block it off a bit, but not a music game.
    3. I guess as with so many other people, I have a 'basic' system that I'm most comfortable with, have most of my real-life friends on*, like playing the most with - and for me that's the PS3. I like playing a bit of Guitar Hero, then switch to Warhawk or a PS Eye game / Eye of Judgment, play the latest demoes, browse the web a little, watch a DVD/BluRay, on the same machine.

    Another possible regret may be that a wired guitar may just work best with this game, but I'm hoping this will be fine as wireless is nice. It's a bit ironic though that I partly got the game because I noticed I enjoyed the demo on the 360 even without the guitar (I've always liked Bemani games) and also that the wireless guitar uses a system that's exactly like the wireless 360 controllers. Understandable, but a bit silly nonetheless.

    I'm still looking for a great game to buy for the 360 that I can play while my wife is rewatching Buffy or Angel for the 100th time (currently she's watching some bonus material), but I'm sure I can find an exclusive for that (eventually). Maybe Mass Effect, if you can skip the shooting parts (I thought I remembered from long ago you might be able to let your squad take care of most of that?), or something similar.

    Anyway, I'll be sure to let everyone know here if I regret getting the PS3 version and why (not). ;)

    * I don't quite understand it, and it's probably because I'm a little bit older (33), but I don't know anyone else with a 360. We are five at work now with a PS3, and I know 1 more guy with a PS3 outside work. Then there is one PC gamer, and that's it.
