    I've got this:

    PS2
    Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon (RPG) 5/12

    on pre-order, the one that comes with the plushie.

    Kind of forget about it till now. I doubt I'll have time to play it anytime soon. I really should dust off my PS2, though.

    Summers always suck, which is dumb. Well last year we got GTA 4 (April) and Metal Gear Solid 4 (June) I guess

    I thought all the big company bosses already said how much they regret cramming everything into the holidays ?

    Anyways looking forward to seeing some reviews on inFamous before I spend the cash....

    The UFC demo is pretty good. I'll probably pick it up.

    I can't wait for Batman: Arkham Asylum.

    I'm kind of glad they pushed Batman back to August\September because I won't have time to play it before then.

    I've got my preorder in for Infamous and am planning on picking it up day 1 to get my last major gaming time in before my son arrives. I'm also looking forward to getting the beta for Uncharted 2 multi-player. I don't think it'll be as good as the single player, but I am curious.

    The demo for Infamous comes out Friday (preorder at Best Buy or Game Crazy), and I'll let everyone know how it looks.

    That is the game of the holiday season. I'm an huge Imsomniac and Naughty Dog fan, but Brutal Legend moves to the top of the list before Ratchet and Clank, Heavy Rain, and Uncharted 2.

    I'm cautiously awaiting reviews of inFamous to be released. It looks like a really cool game judging from the previews and movies they've released, but it usually takes something special to distinguish an action game from the pack. I'm in the same boat with the new Batman game that is going to come out later this summer: are they going to be worth spending $60 on, or are they only worth a weekend rental like so many other action games (e.g. Wolverine)?

    I kind of forgot about it too. Doubt I'll have much time to play it either...I have a lot of stuff to do this month. :(

    It is the game Tim Schafer is working on.

    Call me nostalgic, but it was neat to see the video of Punch-out. One of my favorite games ever, though it may lose some of its cache with Iron Mike in it.
