What are you buying this week?

[CeeKay]

Dragon Age Awakening  and Metro 2033 for the PC.

[EngineNo9]

I think nothing for me, but I'll watch reviews of Metro 2033 with interest.

Surely Sam & Max season 2 isn't a new release for PC?  I've had that disc for quite some time.

[rittchard]

I'll get the Dragon Age expansion for PC, and I got GT effected into getting God of War 3.  I can't keep up at all with all these great games!

[Kagath]

Have the GoW3 giant box coming from Walmart sometime and eventually I'll probably pick up Metro 2033 in the future assuming it's decent.

[leo8877]

God of War 3!!!!!

[jersoc]

what i want to buy

DA expansion, RoF, CnC4 and infinite space

what i'm most likely buying: nothing until i finish FF13

[Dante Rising]

Wallet Busting week for me:

Infinite Space
Resonance of Fate
Fragile Dreams
Spectral Force Genesis

[Thin_J]

I'm probably going to cave and buy C&C4 despite claiming I'll avoid it pretty much every time I've talked about it to anyone.

[EddieA]

Resonance of Fate for PS3 and Perfect Dark for XBLA.  I'm definitely interested in Fragile Dreams, but there are just too many RPGs coming out this month.

[TheMissingLink]

Renting GoW3.

[skystride]

God of War 3 is sitting on the shelf while I'm really enjoying FFXIII.  I'll get to it eventually.

I might cave for C&C 4 as well if it has lots of funny campy acting.  The game was pretty underwhelming during beta.

I might cave for C&C 4 as well if it has lots of funny campy acting.  The game was pretty underwhelming during beta.

It's the end of the Kane storyline. I'm not sure I can help myself. I've followed them from the original C&C all the way through. Might as well see how it ends.

[Caine]

Waiting on reviews for metro and infinite space. I haven't even played cnc3 so I'm not going to pick up 4 and never played any of the gow games.

Still waiting until next week for just cause 2.

[Gratch]

Waiting for reviews on Infinite Space, but am likely done for the foreseeable future.  FF XIII is going to keep me busy for a good long while.

[Jarrodhk]

Infinite Space.  Been waiting for this for a while.  Should be a good time killer at work. (Overnights)

Maybe Resonance of Fate... but considering my addiction to BFBC2... I can wait on reviews/possible price drop.

[coopasonic]

Renting GoW3.

Goozexing GoW3

[semiconscious]

resonance of fate & infinite space...

tho i'll be playing both following smt:sj (next week), which will follow ffxiii...

[denoginizer]

I'm intrigued by Metro 2033 for the 360.

I'm not sure if I'm intrigued enough to pull the trigger on it.

[Soulchilde]

Dragon Age: Awakening  this Friday

[KC]

Infinite Space if the reviews are good.

GoW3 when the price comes down.

[Devil]

Because of Ron: GoW3

[Beer Goggles]

Playing all the games that I have already bought and not played.  No more new games for awhile.

Rage of the Gladiator is supposed to be good.  IN for that.

Also this week, God of War III for me.  Also, Infinite Space and either Pokemon HeartGold or Pokemon SoulSilver.  Probably Metro 2033, as well.  And Perfect Dark.

[wonderpug]

Tempted by Pokemon and not ashamed to admit it!  My backlog on the main consoles is horrendous and growing, but I haven't fired up the DS in some time.

[Tebunker]

how long before you think we'll see a Super awesome-o edition of Dragon Age that includes the DLC and expansion? Or is that not EA's m.o. ?

Also, I am interested in Fragile, but I have neither the time or money for new games. Maybe I can trade in some stuff.

[Laner]

Perfect Dark for the 360, and possibly Rondo of Blood

[Autistic Angel]

I have the Dragon Age expansion for PC bought and paid for.  It's only been a couple weeks since I finished the original, and I can't wait to continue the story!

-Autistic Angel

[MonkeyFinger]

Surely Sam & Max season 2 isn't a new release for PC?  I've had that disc for quite some time.

No, it's not. It is, however, a new release on the Wii. 

[gangeli]

GoW3...the whole reason i bought a ps3 to begin with!

[The Grue]

Bought Pokemon yesterday and buying God of War 3.

[Tscott]

Bought the Return to Ostagar DLC and started a brand new character in Dragon Age over the weekend.  Will get Dragon Age Awakenings tomorrow.


And I'll be looking for opinions on Metro 2033 with interest.

[Isgrimnur]

Metro 2033 will get a Gamefly queue add.

[coopasonic]

Tempted by Pokemon and not ashamed to admit it!

I enjoyed the first couple games I played (GBA I think), but they have gotten repetitive and are too grindy for my tastes. Has anything changed that would make me want to look again?

[MonkeyFinger]

Picking up GoW3 at midnight, I do believe... we shall see. At least it's all paid for - and good lord is 'Ashley' chipper. Also interested in Metro 2033 (though I still need to decide on platform) and Resonance of Fate. And Infinite Space. Someday. Maybe.

These are actually remakes of the best-rated of the series (Gold and Silver).

[pr0ner]

God of War 3, super duper mega deluxe giant box edition.

[mytocles]

I'm also playing FFXIII, but I know I'll get all DLC and expansions for Dragon Age"someday" - but definitely not this week.  Backlog ftw or ftl, depending on how you look at it!
