I'm glad you guys like it. I was looking for a list like this, but couldn't find it anywhere so I decided to put things into my own hands.

Well to be honest, I had searched and given up. So I just wanted to post the November poem when I figured I might as well make something out of it.

Big Rigs 2????? When did that happened??? Why?? I find it funny that i've haven't heard of this game in the many Wii bashing threads on System Wars.

Other than that, Mario Galaxy is a must, so is Dragon Ball Z: BT3 (The best fighting game this year IMO) Trauma Center New Blood () and maybe Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

10 of these games is a must for me, 16 of them I want so it's going to be a really though month, since I will have to comprimise and give up on a lot of great games until later, all while several new games planned for December is coming, not to mention all the goodness still coming out late October.

I never thought so many people liked Dragon Ball Z games, I have personally never played one, no have I any clue what the franchise is about. I considered leaving it out of this thread, but I see now it was a good idea that I didn't.

I obviously included Big Rigs 2 for some comedy to the thread, I'll have to see if I can't test it though, just so I can say I've actually played something so bad. It really amazes me that some developers actually work on this game, I mean... It doesn't spring out of the ground does it? Then there is another company who actually publish the thing... Simply amazing.

Hmm...now that Portal and Episode 2 were my most antipaed for this year, so there's not too much left at this point. Crysis is still a must-have for me though, and I will probably pick up R&C and Uncharted. Guess my 360's going back into stasis .

Ouch. This list is so good that it hurts. I can feel my wallet getting lighter and lighter just reading through this list. I'm thinking that I will eventually have to get the Wii and the Playstation 3 because they all have so many different games I am interested in. Uncharted looks amazing! And I almost cried when I heard UT was only going to be on the Playstation 3. Thank god it will come out eventually!
