What are you buying this week?

[TiLT]

It's almost depressing to answer "nothing" with such a long list of titles, but that's the truth of it. Nothing interesting there, at least not to me.

By the way, Little Big Planet Vita (which I bought last week, and which is excellent) has its official US release this week, even if it got an early release in some stores.

[Razgon]

Absolutely nothing.

Torchlight 2 , Guild Wars 2 and Borderlands 2 are all going to be my games of preference right up til Assasins Creed 3 I'm sure :-)

[metallicorphan]

Sherlock Holmes was at least going to be on my list,but i wasn't overly keen on Vs Jack the Ripper,and now from this Outside Xbox Video it looks like its the exact same thing when for some reason i thought it was going to be completely different,so i think i will give it a miss

For once,there is nothing else on that list that i want so nothing this week

[EddieA]

I guess it's up to me to make up for all the people not getting anything this week  Here's my list -
Tokyo Jungle (PS3)
Starhawk (PS3, free with PS+)
Darksiders II : Argul's Tomb
The Denpa Men : They Came By Wave (3DS eShop)
Bad Piggies (Android)
Rayman : Jungle Run (Android)

and probably Half Minute Hero : Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy (Steam)

[Soulchilde]

Nada -

Actually picking up the Avengers Blu-Ray tomorrow

[Clanwolfer]

I've still got Torchlight 2, Borderlands 2, and NHL 13 (plus FTL) to keep me busy. Maybe Little Big Planet Vita next time I look to be on the road. But we've finally hit the stretch of the year where there's too many games and not enough time.

[Bullwinkle]

For some reason, I always seem to get suckered in by Dead or Alive, but I'm going to try to avoid the new one this year.

I was in for Tokyo Jungle, but the reviews have been mixed, with some "real" sites giving it quite a low score.  I'm hoping we get some impressions here.

[CeeKay]

I have the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria CE pre-ordered.

[Destructor]

I have the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria CE pre-ordered.

Same. Why you may wonder, when I don't even play WoW?

1) After like a two year break, I finally sat down and played through all the content with a new character (until level cap anyway). It was a heck of a lot of fun when I was the only player in zone up until like the mid 70s. Made me feel like a hero.
2) I own all the other WoW CEs - might as well snag this one as well (and cheaper than normal, too).

So give it a few months or maybe next year and I'll finally get around to making a Pandarian Monk or something. When there's not a few thousand others trying to do so in my same zone.

[Isgrimnur]

Nada.  I've got too much on my plate as it is.

[The Grue]

I had Mist of Pandaria on pre-order, but cancelled it because after playing Guild Wars 2, I just don't want to go back to WoW.

Gonna get:

Little Big Planet Vita (PSN)
Tokyo Jungle (PSN)

I heard some rumblings from Jeff at Giant Bomb that Dead or Alive 5's story mode is pretty awesome.  I need details, though.  If it is something amazing, I might be in for that.

[hepcat]

Absolutely nothing.

Torchlight 2 , Guild Wars 2 and Borderlands 2 are all going to be my games of preference right up til Assasins Creed 3 I'm sure :-)

Same...although I'd add X-Com to that list.

[Azhag]

DOA 5 for Xbox 360

[EddieA]

I was in for Tokyo Jungle, but the reviews have been mixed, with some "real" sites giving it quite a low score.  I'm hoping we get some impressions here.

The game features kangaroos boxing tigers, cows running through the streets of Tokyo, and Pomeranians taking down a hippopotamus, and that's just the trailer.  What more do you need to know?

[kronovan]

I want to say FIFA 13, but I'm in such a fuck EA mood these days that I'll decline on  that purchase. If anything, I'll pick up last weeks Borderlands 2 [360] and maybe HoI III: Their Finest Hour.

[Hetz]

Dead or Alive 5 (PS3)
Angry Birds Trilogy (3ds)

[Arnir]

What is HoI III: Their Finest Hour bringing to the table?

[kronovan]

What is HoI III: Their Finest Hour bringing to the table?

Here's the bullets from the heartsofirongame website with my underlying of what I think might make it worth the price.

• New unique, elite units for each major nation's army - Ghurkhas, Rangers, Imperial guards and more
 
• A deeper naval invasion system with the ability to develop specialized landing and assault crafts
 
• Increased control over strategic warfare with a new lend-lease system for lending your industrial might to allies
 
• Leaders are now able to gain traits and allocating them is more important than ever with a new combat tactics system
 
• New game mode for single and multiplayer. Start with a clean slate and instantly produce units, research technologies and affect political alignment. Speed up the early years and jump straight into the action
 
• Two new detailed battle scenarios, the Finnish Winter War and the Spanish Civil War

[skystride]

I've got FIFA, will try it tonight.

[USMC Kato]

Very tempted to get dead or alive 5 after reading some positive reviews

[Harpua3]

Nothing!!! Between bl2, lbp vita, diablo 3, csgo and fifteen other games even if I wasn't poor right now I wouldn't buy anything!!!

[Jarrodhk]

Very tempted to get dead or alive 5 after reading some positive reviews

Yeah, DOA5 is tempting. Sadly I am going to have to wait for a while on it.

[Purge]

Apparently the Insecticon DLC was supposed to be released.

According to xbox.com, it is out in the wild.

[CeeKay]

When there's not a few thousand others trying to do so in my same zone.

LOL, I decided the same thing too.  I figure by the weekend it should be somewhat quieter.

[Eco-Logic]

FIFA 13 for me!!  360

[Eco-Logic]

It's supposed to be better than Fifa 12, which is the best sports game of a time. If anyone wants a match on Live let me know, StockBr0ker.

[The Grue]

Forgot to mention I was getting Hell Yeah.  Played it tonight and it is a ton of wacky fun.

[Bullwinkle]
