What am I getting? City of Villians for sure, and possibly Ratchet: Deadlocked (along with Gunstar Super Heroes if I have more money to blow), but I'll be skipping the most obvious 'pick' this week (Soul Calibur 3), just because I was far from impressed with #2, and the PS2 money hat (er, exclusivity), I'm simply not all that interested.

You?

[Zarkon]

Nothing.  Saving money for my XBox 360, and have games to review still.  Hell, I don't have -time- to play games.  Bet you guys never thought you'd hear THAT from someone who reviews 'em, did you?

[Zarkon]

Oh, and City of Villains isn't coming out until next week, according to NCSoft.

[wonderpug]

Unreliable local FedEx guy notwithstanding, Civ IV all the way.

[coopasonic]

waiting for word on Spartan: Total Warrior

[Starshifter]

Brutal week for the wallet.  Including games from last week that I didn't pick up yet, I'm getting:

Civilization IV [PC]
The Warriors [Xbox]
Heroes of the Pacific [Xbox]
Fable:  Lost Chapters [Xbox]
Soul Calibur III [PS2]

[whiteboyskim]

This is when I'll add things to the Christmas list. Ratchet: Deadlocked goes on there, along with Call of Cthulhu. As for Call of Duty 2, I might have to pick that up. I'll check the Steals/Deals forum to see if Frys is having a sale on it like they did FEAR.

[Lockdown]

CIVILIZATION IV

[JuniorDan]

PC Civilization IV

Console games are all rentals from here on out. saving for 360.

[fyedaddy]

Metroid Prime Pinball!

I'd pickup Civ IV on release but Civ III still feels like it has endless hours of play left in it for me to replace just yet.

[Cleric7]

Metroid Prime Pinball
Shining Force Neo (Diablo II done by the "Record of Lodoss War" people)
Civilization IV

[Laner]

Call of Ctulu
Taito Legends

[GGMark]

Hoping Dark Corners of the Earth really makes it tomorrow.  I might wait though to hear from reviews.   I am trying to save already for X Mas this year for family.

[Destructor]

Oh, and City of Villains isn't coming out until next week, according to NCSoft.

I wondered if I should've listed it or not, but since preorder people do get to play it two days early, who knows if it's this week or next.

Shining Force Neo (Diablo II done by the "Record of Lodoss War" people)

Fantastic game so far IMHO. You won't regret this purchase.

[Big Jake]

Getting TOMORROW!
Civ 4
Soul Calibur 3

Considering:
X3
UFO:Aftershock

And I got Castlevania today for the DS, so that's my new purchases until the release of Oblivion. (Or maybe the Movies, depending on the response on OO)

[Starshifter]

My patience paid off.  I waited for Toys R Us to get Soul Calibur III in and picked up the following in their Buy 2, Get 1 free deal:

The Warriors [Xbox]
Heroes of the Pacific [Xbox]
Soul Calibur III [PS2]

In addition, I picked up Civilization IV as well yesterday.  Wow, what a day of purchases.  It does help knowing I got one $50 game for free and I actually ended up paying only $14 for CivIV since I traded in old games.  Big gaming weekend lies ahead.  Plus, with Daylight Savings Time ending I get an extra hour of gaming!!!!

 

[Lockdown]

Hey Jersey-Boy... can I request a mini-review of Soul Caliber as soon as you get a chance please.  Let us know about the create-a-fighter aspect and stuff too.

Gracias Amigo.

No problemo Cheesesteak boy!

I will be checking it out a little bit tonight with my son.  He's a Soul Calibur fan.  So, I might be able to throw something up tomorrow.  If not, I will be getting into it this weekend.  Of course this comes with a caveat.  I did get CivIV as well.  The "create-a-fighter" thing is something I'm also very interested in as well.

Off Topic:  Sorry about the Astros my friend.  I was rooting for them all the way.  A little Devil-bashing goes a long way in making you, and the rest of us, feel just a little better. :wink:

In spite of being the target of such attacks, I was also rooting for the Astros, but as it stands, my Angels were the only team to take a game from the White Sox in the postseason.

Oh, good call! I forgot about that little bonus. Good timing with this desk full of new games sitting next to me.

SS - Any impressions of Soul Calibur yet?  I'm not so much into the drama that's going on between the 3 sites, (other than hoping the boyz here recover nicely), so I was hoping I'd have some impressions to read.  Devote some time to it before delving into Civ IV my friend, cause that game is tough to put down.

[and thanks for the Astro's love.  Guess it wasn't in the cards]

LD  :wink:

Will do my friend.  Don't blame me though if all I do this weekend is play CivIV.  Actually, I picked up the strat guide for Soul III so I have to spend some time with it.  

[Knightshade Dragon]

I'm buying some Ibuprofen this week.
