Well, a not very exciting list here, unless you're a Halo or Katamari fan. Or maybe Aion or Persona is more up your alley? I know I'll be staying away from everything here, as I'm more than occupied playing what I've been playing as of late.

What are you buying this week?

[Ridah]

AION!! Actually, I got a free review copy

Halo 3 ODST.

[CeeKay]

nothing.  I'm locking up my wallet this week from everything except D2D's 5 buck sale, since starting the first full week of October I'm getting at least one new game pretty much every week.

[kronovan]

I'll be getting either Halo3 ODST, MUA2 or DiRT 2. Not sure exactly which 1 yet, but I'm leaning towards H3 ODST.

[jersoc]

Aion, ODST simply because the deal will be the best in probably forever.

Basically, the beginning of the end of my checking account.

[Soulchilde]

maybe ODST.   Was burned with HALO 3 length, so I'm not certain if I'm picking this up

[Razgon]

Bought Aion a few weeks ago, so, besides that NOTHING!

[Gratch]

Maybe Persona, and I'm still on the fence with Scribblenauts.

[EddieA]

I've had Persona preordered for a while, so I'll be getting that.

[Chaz]

Halo.  I'm tempted by Persona, but I know that since it's on the PSP, the likelihood that I'll actually play it is 0.  If they'd released it on a non-portable, I'd definitely be getting it.

[coopasonic]

360:
Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010

Don't tell anyone, but I'll be adding this to my goozex list. I picked up the 2009 version a couple months ago just for grins and kinda liked it.

[Bullwinkle]

ODST and Katamari Forever for me.  Probably the zombie XBLA game, if it's good.

I'm interested in Aion, but I don't know enough about it.  Is it pay to play?  If so, I'm out.

[metallicorphan]

nothing this week,nothing until Operation Flashpoint 2 is out

not sure whats on Xbox Live this week,but i do know that PinballFX is deal of the week for 400 points,if you haven't got that already,get it,its a great game

[Bullwinkle]

WiiWare
You, Me, and the Cubes
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1-2
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Comic Mischief
Price: 1,000 Wii Points

Experience a unique combination of strategy and skill as you maintain a level playing field in the physics-based action puzzler You, Me, and the Cubes. The action centers around Fallos, mysterious creatures that resemble humans and have an ability to balance on a playing field of 3-D cubes. First, create a pair of Fallos inside your Wii Remote™ controller by shaking it up and down. Next, determine suitable places for the Fallos to land, then fling them to the selected cube with a swinging motion. After that, the Fallos are on their own. If your placement is sound, the Fallos will remain stable and you'll clear the stage after tossing a required number onto the cubes. But if the weight or locations of Fallos causes the cubes to tilt and sway too much, the Fallos will lose their balance and fall off. Adding to the challenge, you'll find that some cubes have different properties, making tosses tricky and further threatening the stability of the Fallos. Guide Fallos through dozens of single-player stages or invite family and friends to join you in two-player cooperative mode.

Family Tennis
Publisher: Aksys Games
Players: 1-4
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Comic Mischief, Mild Suggestive Themes

Choose from three different modes: Elimination Match, Free Match and Thrilling Rally. Play against the CPU or compete with friends. Elimination Match mode pits you against the CPU to test your skills, while Free Match mode allows you to play against another player under conditions of your choosing. Thrilling Rally mode lets you join up to three other players and rally to see who can get to 100 points first.

[denoginizer]

ODST for me.

[MonkeyFinger]

maybe ODST.   Was burned with HALO 3 length, so I'm not certain if I'm picking this up

I heard 6 or 7 hours. Decided to not pay full price for something like that.

[KC]

Nothing this week.

[coopasonic]

360:
Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010

Don't tell anyone, but I'll be adding this to my goozex list. I picked up the 2009 version a couple months ago just for grins and kinda liked it.

I just remembered, I played and enjoyed Dangerous Hunts 2009, not big game hunter. No idea on this then.

[pr0ner]

ODST for sure.  Katamari Forever at some point (rental or purchase, I haven't decided).

[bluntman72]

ODST

[CeeKay]

I bet it doesn't even have an ending 

[Isgrimnur]

Nada.  I just picked up NHL 10, still playing the Batman challenges, and need to try to make myself play Fallout 3 (from GameFly).

[EngineNo9]

I might actually pick up Dirt 2 sometime this week, but we'll see.

[leo8877]

ODST for me!

[semiconscious]

persona!...

I'm tempted by Persona, but I know that since it's on the PSP, the likelihood that I'll actually play it is 0.  If they'd released it on a non-portable, I'd definitely be getting it.

for me, the only thing that keeps a lot of these oldies playable is that they are on the psp ...

[Eco-Logic]

I thought the demo for Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010  was actually kind of fun.  I won't be buying anything this week though. 

I am patiently waiting for NBA 2K10 & of course MW2!

[spigot]

Cabela's. It's going to blow ODST out of the water.

[DocD]

Persona!

[jblank]

Halo ODST

[DamageInc]

HALO 3: ODST

[Teggy]

ODST

[Big Jake]

Persona pre-ordered a long time ago.

[mytocles]

360:
Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010

Don't tell anyone, but I'll be adding this to my goozex list. I picked up the 2009 version a couple months ago just for grins and kinda liked it.

I just remembered, I played and enjoyed Dangerous Hunts 2009, not big game hunter. No idea on this then.

I remember how surprised I was when I saw how popular the Cabela games were.  I figured it would be a niche game, like most fishing games, but non-hunters have been enjoying them for years.  "Someday," I'm going to try one of them.

In the meantime, whenever I think I'm done with Star Ocean 4, I learn something new and get drawn back in.  I had planned on getting Scribblenauts and Wii Sports Resort by now -  and will probably grab them this weekend.  If I get out the door...

i downloaded the Cabela demo from my US XBL account Myto(its not available in the UK),it wasn't bad actually..it has like mini shooting games inbetween the big hunts


edit:XBLA this week

Zombie Apocalypse-800 points
Ion Assault-800 points
The Warriors:Street Brawl-800 points(not a remake/port of the original Rockstar Warriors game unfortunately)

[Brendan]

I also tried out the Cabela thing for the novelty value - I have to say that I laughed aloud repeatedly during that final sequence with the, uh, other predator.

[WinoMcCougarstein]

Nothing.  I've purchased too many games and I don't have enough time!

[Kagath]

ODST fo SHO!

Backlog be damned! I lubs me some Halo games. Except for Wars. Never tried that yet.

[jztemple2]

Halo 3: ODST for me as well.

[msteelers]

I've managed to avoid all things ODST up until this point, so I'm ok with continuing my ignorance of the game. Seriously, I couldn't even tell you with certainty what genre of game it is, other than it is set in the Halo universe.

My ignorance is for a reason though. My checkbook can't handle the game. Sadly, I will most likely be waiting until Modern Warfare 2 comes out, and then everything else will go on my birthday/christmas wishlist.

[disarm]

Halo: ODST...should be awesome
