With winter vast approaching, I wandered what titles where taking your fancy?

Personally I am looking into:

Halo ODST

Beatles Rock Band

Guitar Hero 5

DiRT 2

Forza Motorsport 3

Assassins Creed 2

Uncharted 2

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Fifa 10

 

I will no doubt have others that I am interested in, hopefully something on the Playstation 3 but Uncharted 2 is the only real one I want on that system from the list above.

I've already pre-ordered Halo ODST, I'll wait and see with the other games however.

My list would be:

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Sims 3: World Adventure (not sure about the launch date, though)

Fifa 2010

Dirt 2

Rock Band Beatles

Assassin's Creed 2

 

I will also be on the lookout for any new RTS games. An expansion for Dawn of War 2 would be awesome.

Guitar Hero 5

Halo ODST

Dirt 2

Forza Motorsport 3

and Modern Warfare 2 are all games I will buy no matter what, basically. Probably won't get any more (discounting XBLA games) and prepare for Splinter Cell Conviction and Mass Effect 2 in early 2010.

My friend Philantrophy will most likely buy it and then I'll borrow it from him. I did the same with the first Assassin's Creed. It's good, but not good enough to compete with the aforementioned titles as a must-buy.

Fair play to you then Benny.

As for me I am not sure myself (badum dum tish on the drums if you please). I am looking at my options as they come and will just keep myself updated on the main titles and any demos that seem enjoyable. I am currently just looking at older titles to pick up on the cheap for XBox 360 and Playstation 3 whilst these new titles start to appear. Hopefully Batman will drop to the magic 20 pounds or less mark soon and I would get it then.

Uncharted 2 is my most anticipated game. I'm also going to preorder the Collector's Edition of Demons Soul. Dragon Age: origins is also one on my watch list

Cool stuff, I am looking forward to Uncharted 2 as well. What is this Demons Soul as I keep hearing about the game but I have no idea what it is?

Also Dragons Age looks really good, I am supprised by the lack of attention the game seems to be getting from the media or actual pushing it advertising wise.

There is nothing out there that can't wait for a price drop for me personally. Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2 on the other hand will be instant purchases.

What is Demon's Souls as I keep hearing about it but  know nothing on it?

Borderlands I hope I will see some more gameplay of as some videos have dampened my spirits of it but a recent video really excited me for Brutal Legend.

Demon's Souls is a next gen RPG from Atlus (makers of Persona and SMT, and one of my all-time favourite game companies) exclusive to the PS3... this game is one of the reasons i wanted to get a PS3 this year - i'm so stoked for it!!

Ah cool, so what sort of RPG is it? Is it a traditional JRPG, Western RPG, or is it something different like a relationships rpg or whatever Persona apparently falls under?

I would tag Persona as being a JRPG, although Atlus games tend to be a bit on the darker side than most traditional JRPGs are, which is why i love them so much :D

Demon's Souls is no exception, though it is an action RPG as opposed to turn based, but is still very dark.

Sounds interesting, I may look it up as another friend of mine has been telling me that I should look it up.

 

 

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising

Dragon Age Origins

Ubiquitous_1

An excellent list there sir, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 looks very good. Operation Flashpoint I hope is very good, as I remember the first being very tactical (i.e. dont run out of cover as you will be sniped, that sort of thing, kinda GRAW but much harder from what I remember).

Ha, both of which are due next year. Doh, guess I'' pick up some older titles meanwhile or some DLC. Do I have to be a gold member on Xbox live to download game content from the store?

No, the only restrictions you will find are that demos are locked out for one week upon release for silver members (I dont get why, its an incentive to get gold yes, but demos are there to sell games surely). All single player enabled DLC is available to silver members from release I believe, multiplayer dlc I am not sure but assume as long as its local play enabled would be availble for silver members also.

I think the main difference is that silver members cannot play online multiplayer or use chat; which might mean that they can download multiplayer dlc, but perhaps not actually USE it LOL.

Not too sure, Torturehurts has got the first game and likes it a lot. I enjoyed the demo of the first. It all depends on cashflow at the time really, I would not mind depending on what else is out that month.

I guess Modern Warfare is the only game left for me to get this year. Got some nice games to keep me busy, we will probably spend months getting the achievements in Halo ODST... and then there is Gears of War 2 and Guitar Hero 5, which Garfield will get now that I told him Under Pressure is in it.

Why, the first one wasn't bad was it? Anyway the only reason I can see this being a bad thing is that they would compete with that highly over rated COD franchise, which competes with itself these days anyway.

Too many WW2 shooters, I think I stand for everyone by saying we need a break from them.

They're not the same though ;)

Lets put it this way: Half-Life and Halo are very un-alike, despite being sci-fi shooters where you shoot Aliens.

Same sort of setting though. To be honest with you though Loopy, if you do a quick check of the games coming out, there are far more modern warfare type games coming out within the next year than anything historically flavoured, whether that be the great war, the second world war, korea, which would be cool, Vietnam (which again lacks game time because the US lost the fight so the viable market is small) or even the first gulf war. There is a FPS due in the next year based in the medieval which may be different.

You guys pay too much attention to the settings. Whether or not it's aliens or Germans doesn't matter as long as the shooting's good.

Agreed, Uncharted 2 for instance is quite different as a shooter but man the combat feels weak online.

Single player hopefully will be awesome stuff.

I was actually defending the WWII setting while pointing out that other settings are far more popular at the moment. I agree completely with you Benny, but others ie Loopy would prefer to see some settings die off.
