Simple, really. Name the title of the games that you are looking forward to purchasing, and what console you'll be purcashing them for. For now I'm only going to post games that are releasing this year. They'll all be for PS3 as it's the only console I own:

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

This game is going to be fantastic. Naughty Dog did a great job with the first game, and the second looks to be even better.

Tekken 6

The only fighting series I care about. I'm not much a follower of the story, but the gameplay is fun. Tekken 6 looks to be graphically impressive, and the new force mode (with co-op play) looks to add a new element to the game.

God of War Collection

I'm importing this, as it's not due out in PAL countries this year. I traded in both of the PS2 games ages ago, so this package is great! It will also give me a chance to catch up on the story before the epic God of War III releases in March. Hooray for region free games!

Demon's Souls, so far that's it...

Is it me or does Dragon Origins look too bloody...?

[Kurisu]

I can't say that I'm interested in Demon's Souls, as from what I've heard (and from the footage I've seen) about it it seems that it's going to be extremely hard. I get frustrated very easily playing games, and I know I won't have ANY patience with it at all. Besides, I'm not to keen on westernized RPG's.

As for Dragon Age, I haven't been following it, so I can't really answer your question!

[Momotaru]

Well the thing about Demon's Souls isn't that it's a Western style RPG. It's more of a traditional dungeon crawler in the vein of Zelda.. I've intentionally avoided all but the original trailer, but from what I see, it's any really old school dungeon crawler brought into 3D, without babying it up as has been normal for the majority of 3D games for the last 5 years.

I've also heard that the difficulty claims might be a bit exaggerated.. Apparently, it doesn't feature Gauntlet's hack and slash gameplay, but the difficulty exists is in learning how to fight the enemies.

Personally, I've really been looking forward to it for a long time.


Uncharted 2 is awesome, but I've yet to play through the first game, so I'll be doing that soon probably.

Brutal Legend also has my attention (I loved Psychonauts, and consequently Tim Shafer).


And of course, Ratchet and Clank is always fun, so that's on my list too.


October is just loaded with awesome games.. November has New Super Mario Bros on Wii, but hopefully a bunch of other greats too.

[Hugbees]

Why, Final Fantasy 14 of course!

[rblyell]

Momo - Keep me posted on what you decide for class etc in Demon's Souls. I know, from what I hear you can't choose to play with friends on the PS3 it's all randomness, but in either case I like to know how it all goes for you. (compare and contrast) plus maybe we can help eachother through some parts. AND I had no clue Tim Shafer from Psychonauts did Brutal Legends, I will check it out! I might actually be interested in that game now. Psycho was and is an amazing game! Toooooo much fun and fluid game play. Thanks for the 4-1-1 on that.

Hugbees - Of course FF-14 ;D but anything else??? I hear there's a "I love Galka" *que I love lucy theme music* coming out soon. (...............) Ok not really but for that short amount of time weren't you excited? Plus where would we be w/o you creating cartoons for us? (btw, I say more blackmage goodie-ness)

Kirisu - Here's a link to Dragon Age, I want so much to like it. But I feel like it might be a blood bath and the way their marketing it with uniques items for Mass Effect 2 with purchase scares me...like even they're afraid this game won't stand on it's own with out some back up from a another of their game series. http://dragonage.bioware.com/

[Momotaru]

Bah.. You seem to be right. I typed in keywords into a search engine and see at least 3 different sites with statements like "draws from everyone in the world within 10 levels" etc.. So it seems we may not be able to play together.

And darn, I was counting on playing this with my brother. Well, not counting on.. I'm still totally psyched for it, and it also sounds a bit like a mini MMO, so that's something new to me, and exciting!


There's a Brutal Legend demo on both LIVE and PSN. I just played it earlier, and I'm more interested now than ever. The gameplay at first seems a bit mediocre, but even within the demo (which is the first 15 or 20 min of the game) you get new abilities and it only seems to get deeper from there.

Unlike Psychonauts, this is far from a platformer. You can't even jump. But in the context of this game, that's just fine.. Heh, the opening story sequence is awesome, and while the graphics aren't completely top notch, they do have a good style (see psychonauts). The characters are brought to life with facial expressions and other good animation work. It also helps that Jack Black plays the main character.. And I guess Tim Curry is a villain :p

Anyway, I'd love to get a hold of it.. I can't really go picking up all these totally awesome games coming out in October, at least not right away.. So I'll put my time in with Demon's Souls (which is already preordered on Amazon) and go with Ratchet or Brutal Legend some time later.

Demon's Souls comes out tomorrow!

.. But... Amazon just now shipped my copy.. I probably won't see it for another few days >.<

That's alright, I've got things to do before then.

Have you started playing it yet Momo?!

I love it, it's brutal! But it makes sense since there hasn't been anyone who has been able to win back the land for it's people in the story.

I had to start a second character after I got a better grasp on the weapons and gear etc. Also I pissed off a couple NPC's and killed one. But I was really smart I thought when I lured him up stairs and then knocked him off the balcony with my sword attacks. Tee-Hee.

Royalty 24. Their fragment ring, that regains your MP is, well, I'm in love with it.

If you want to play with friends in Demon Souls you can but it can take some time, just start a chat room and tell eachother where u put the soul sign. What im doing with some friends is putting em where theres stuff to break, so other ppl wont see the sign, or not as fast, giving you time to summon your friend.

*jotts this one down*

excellent idea sir :D

[Momotaru]

You also have to be within a general soul range.. Maybe +/-10 of another player to be compatible with him/her.

We should talk about the game in the Demon's Souls thread. :D

[Bewoulf]

I'm looking forward to tons of games. Time and budget is the main concern though, so I will have to pass on some games I really want. Infact, my PS3 collection of games that were released 1-2 years ago isn't even complete!
I still want Infamous, Star Wars Force Unleashed (borrowed from my brother in law, but I want to keep it), Metal Gear Solid 4, Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2, and various others.

Looking forward to CoD Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock 2, Final Fantasy XIII and XIV :D, I want to try out God of War collection. I never played the originals. I'm worried the adult content will upset my wife though.

[HonBun]

I am excited about Bayonetta and God of War III, since I have been playing since it started. I am excited for older games really, it's just I have to get the system I need to play them. So, it's really those too, and any FF and KH games on major next gen systems.
