I swear, the list keeps growing every week. Oh well. That said, once again I'll be skipping buying anything out there. That's a good thing, as there are games I most definitely want to buy right around the corner.

What are you buying this week?

[ATB]

First!

Nothing for me this week as late October continues to loom large.

Fracture, if it gets overwhelming reviews, might get a look.

However, I haven't bought a game in a very long time...I see no need to crack now that the promise land is almost here.

[Fellow]

Nothing this week. But, starting next week... the downward spiral begins. Uggh.

[Misguided]

Nothing this week, though my son will definitely get Spectrobes at some point.

[coopasonic]

Nothing this week. But, starting next week... the downward spiral begins. Uggh.

Yar. It's gonna get ugly soon.

[Razgon]

what the hell? THe guild2: Venice??!! Arggh, loved the old guildgames ,I must admit...thanks for the heads up!

[Autistic Angel]

Nothing off the current list, though I'm still waiting for reviews of the new Harvest Moon game that was released last week on the Wii.

I might also point out that CAG is reporting that next week will be Toys 'R Us' Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale on console games for every platform.  Even if I were inclined to buy something this week, I think I'd wait an extra few days to take advantage of that deal.

-Autistic Angel

[Devil]

Maybe an NBA game...

[Gratch]

Nothing for me, although I may pick up a couple of the Rock Band DLC tracks.

[Larraque]

Baseball Mogul 2009 FTW!!!

Been a few years since I've played a Mogul game. Think it's time to make the plunge again

[denoginizer]

Nothing for me on that list.

I will be getting some Rock Band 2 DLC though.

[Starshifter]

Probably Crash Bandicoot Mind over Mutant.  Always loved the Crash games.  They have a certain charm.

[Jeff]

Some Rock Band DLC and maybe Brothers In Arms HH from Steam. Just bought Mount & Blade 1.03 yesterday, and I'm loving that.

[Captain Caveman]

That NBA2k9 demo sure was fun-- I must have played it 7 or 8 times this weekend-- but with all the upcoming goodness, I don't think I have time to invest starting another virtual sports franchise.

[denoginizer]

Everyone keeps referring to tons of upcoming goodness.  Am I missing something?

What is coming out in the next few weeks that I should be saving my pennies for?

[Laner]

Well, I'm personally saving for Dead Space, Fallout 3, Fable 2, and Castlevania: Order of Esomething.  And that's just October.

[Jeff]

Everyone keeps referring to tons of upcoming goodness.  Am I missing something?

What is coming out in the next few weeks that I should be saving my pennies for?

October 21st - Fable 2, and Far Cry 2

October 26th - Guitar Hero World Tour

Pretty much everything listed is coming in the next 8 weeks.

[Bullwinkle]

Wii VC this week is Mario Golf and Shining Force II.  Wiiware has Midnight Bowling and MadStone.  Also, the Mega Man 9 DLC is up.

For me a pass this week.  I was thinking of Fracture, but reviews have not been kind.  I may pick up Lego Batman, if my 360's problem is just the video cable.  Otherwise, I'll wait until it's back from repairs.

[CeeKay]

nothing this week.

Here's the thread in General gaming about the coming storm. I'm going to match the number games purchased in all of 2008 so far in the next two months.

frak there's another castlevania game coming too?

[Roscoe]

Well, for the 360 it's a busy season, isn't it?

September 23rd - Baja:Edge of Control
- Darn good game, add ten points to the review scores to counter review bias against lack of NASCAR involvement.

October 7th - Brothers In Arms - Hell's Highway
- Passed on this, although it was a near run thing. Am I missing out on something good for the 360?

October 14th - Saint's Row 2
- Oh yeah baby!

October 21st - Far Cry 2
- On vacation part of the week, but still a Day One grab for me.

October 26th - Guitar Hero World Tour
- They still making those plastic guitars?

October 28th - Fallout 3
- The vault opens on day one as well.

November 11th - Mirror's Edge
- I like the novelty of it, I might pick it up.

November 13th- WoW Wrath of the Lich King
- I know it's for the PC, but just to say, I played WoW for about eleven days and walked away. The three of us on the planet who did this hold semi-annual conventions.

November 20th - Left 4 Dead
- More like Left 4 Broke. Still, might get this. What's not to like about killing zombies?

[Jeff]

That's nothing. I've walked away from WoW at least a dozen times

[kronovan]

Wii VC this week is Mario Golf and Shining Force II.  Wiiware has Midnight Bowling and MadStone.  Also, the Mega Man 9 DLC is up.it's back from repairs.

Those are 2 very decent releases  for VC this week. Shining Force II is one of the few Genesis RPG's not available on the gametap service, so I might just download it. I thought the prequel was excellent and from what I've been told the sequel is every bit as good if not better. I remember playing Mario Golf on the N64 and although it had a few problems it was still a lot of fun and a very good game.

With Fable II and Fallout 3 so close, I doubt I'll be buying anything this week. I also have way too many unfinished games and the PC flight sim bug has recently bitten me again.

[KC]

Nothing

[Simon]

I'm interested in Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant to play with my son, but haven't heard anything about it. The last game was pretty fun although somewhat frustrating at times.

[Beer Goggles]

Saving my money for the oncoming crush.

[metallicorphan]

nothing this week,but starting next wek it will be saints row 2 for me,and then the week after Fable II...after that its 'see how i am'.....(fallout 3/CODw@w)...oh and i also want to put the deposit down for banjo nuts and bolts so i get the XBLA arcade game free 

[DocD]

Once again my checkbook remains intact! Nothing for me this week. But it will be much thinner soon enough.

[Ridah]

Probably Crash Bandicoot Mind over Mutant.  Always loved the Crash games.  They have a certain charm.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way, it's kind of like watching Disney movies which still have that certain charm. I may be picking up Crash as well.

I must be getting jaded.  But there isn't much on that list that I am going to run out and buy on the 1st day.  I guess that's good for the wallet. 

[Caine]

yup.  out of 18, i am day one with 4, highly likely to get 5 others

out of 9, only two are not sequels. 

thankfully, nothing this week. 

[Jeff]

I must be getting jaded.  But there isn't much on that list that I am going to run out and buy on the 1st day.  I guess that's good for the wallet. 

Yeah, your wallet is fortunate. What happens with me though, is some games fall off my 'must buy' list, and new surprises make it on the list.

I had no intentions of buying Mount & Blade until yesterday, and today King's Bounty gets added to my buy list.

[The Grue]

Nothing.  In fact, the only things I am buying this whole Christmas season, despite wanting to buy more, is:

Little Big Planet
Fallout 3
Fable 2
(maybe GH:WT)

I'm kind of the opposite.  I had every intention of buying Brothers in Arms until about 2 weeks ago.  The demo and various impressions I've read/heard soured me on it.

My list for the rest of the year:

Resistance 2

Gears 2 (2 copies)

Guitar Hero World Tour

Left For Dead (2 copies)

In addition I'll probably buy tons of RB/GH DLC between now and the end of the year.

But considering the wallet carnage of last fall, I feel pretty fortunate.

People argue which is the best SF game - either II on the Genesis, or the Sega CD version. I preferred SFII, simply because it loaded up faster (the CD access time as we all know wasn't that great on the Sega CD). But both are absolutely fantastic (for the time) TBS titles.

[Farscry]

yeah, nothing on that list for the week does anything for me.

[jersoc]

A whole mess of rock band DLC. The count down to fallout 3 continues.

[ROTC1983]

Doesn't look like I am purchasing anything this week.  Maybe Hinterlands, but I haven't decided on that yet.

[Jeff]

I'm kind of the opposite.  I had every intention of buying Brothers in Arms until about 2 weeks ago.  The demo and various impressions I've read/heard soured me on it.

There's a demo? I'll have to get that. BIA:HH was a 'day one' for me too, but has since been moved to 'on the fence'. The demo will make or break it for me, I imagine.

Left For Dead (2 copies)

Yeah, I can't wait for that one. I have a very strong feeling it's going to be great.
