I'm highly looking forward to: MGS3 KH2(but I'll wait til this is GH) I'm meh on: shadowhearts 3 suikoden 5 everything else - don't care.
I'm going to be blowing some majoin coin on 360 games this much. GRAW, Burnout, Battlfield 2, The Outfit, Oblivion and probably Far Cry and Blazing Angels... holy hell.
OH SNAP! Dynasty Warriors!!! I'm very looking forward to that one. Cool... now there are 2 games I can buy.
360 games coming into their own...looks like I may have to consider picking it up sooner rather than later. Metroid Hunters and Tetris. Yes. Finally a real Tetris for the first time in a while. And online as well...hells yeah. Oblivion. What else is there to say? KH2 as well. Man....looks like it's time to spend some money again.
RC, I haven't commented on any of your game threads, but I just want to commend you for updating us w/ the latest game news. Thanks!
For those looking forward to Oblivion (hehe...that sounds funny), there was a media blowout last Friday/Saturday. So along with the preview I posted, there are tons more at IGN, 1UP, TXB, Gameinformer, and more. There are a few new videos as well. TXB has two new clips from the game that look amazing (IMO), and IGN has one of those clips (in lower-res) plus a developer interview. There's also a podcast from someone who played the game: http://files.filefront.com/ngrcom_podcast_02_25_06_oblivionmp3/;4805356;;/fileinfo.html (about 1hr 15 min long or so) The podcast kind of takes you step-by-step through the beginning of the game (when you pick a race, a birthsign, a class, etc.). A good thing to check out if you have the time. BTW, I didn't forget about the last preview thread. I'm kind of waiting for all the last reviews to get put online so that I can do one last post to finish up the thread. IIRC, several games didn't get released until today (like "24" IIRC).
Ooooho yeah. I've been waiting for this puppy for months... I hope the hype is worth it. On another note, D&D Online was released today. I'm debating getting that.... but with ES4 being released possibly in 3 weeks or so, I dunno... no way I can play both at the same time.
