Willias's thread about FFXII and NWN2 made me look at my "chart" I keep to help me track games I'm interested in, and I noticed that the next 2 months are going to bankrupt me. So, I thought I'd ask you all to list off games that are going to be released by the end of November that you're probably going to buy. Why? Because I don't want to be the only one feeling the pressure of too many game releases

I'm probably going to be picking up Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, NWN2, FF12, Star Trek: Legacy, Fear: Extraction Point, Valkyrie Profile 2, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos, Brigade E5: New Jagged Union, The Guild 2

AND probably the Wii and one or two games for it, based on whats out when it is.

Looks like it's time to start working overtime :/

Personally, I don't want to think of my list. Too many games, not enough time. I'm playing through Okami now and loving it though.

Put that on hold. It's bug ridden and not worth trying until more patches are released.

For me -- there are entirely too many. Trying to work through what I have now (including VP2 and Okami) and I'll go from there depending on what is out when I get through em.

Star Wars: Empire At War - Forces of Corruption.

Just played the demo and while it doesn't show you much of the game.. the idea of kidnapping Ewoks, strapping explosives to them, then making them run into a Rebel base is just too much fun to ignore.

I'm not kidding.

Total War games are definitely not for me. I found Medieval Total War to be really bland.

I really only care about Guitar Hero 2, Final Fantasy XII, Gears of War, and Twilight Princess.

That's still a lot. I also need to buy the necessary systems for the last two games listed there.

Twilight Princess is the only one I'm looking forward to. I'll probably get .hack//GU though just because I'm holding on to the small thread of hope that some of the character's from the first games will be in it. ><

Not looking forward to FFXII but I'll borrow it as soon as one of my friends gets it anyway.

I dunno, I like the look of the new guy.

Unlike Kite from the first .hack games, he can change weapon types. From like, Twin Blade, to Two hander, to something else. Combat is also much faster, and all of the artwork and cinematics look like they have gone up in quality.

And there's something going on with Kite in the new game too, though I'm not sure what. Some evil version of him exists in .hack//G.U. and I think he's one of the main plot points of the game.

I was extremely underwhelmed at Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I expected the combat to be at least as solid as Oblivion, but it just feels like a mod for Enemy Territory.

If you want solid combat Gothic 3 will most likely fill that void.

FF12, M2:TW, WoW:BC (assuming it really comes out this year).

Okami looks cool; I might get it, too.

[EDIT] Also, I already have LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Short review: The original movies don't translate into the LSW formula quite as well.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Okami is a very well-done, immensely fun game. I highly recommend it.

At the very least rent it. I can't recommend it enough. It's the best action/adventure since Ocarina of Time. Definitely a very refreshing title and easily GoTY material. It's too bad that the game is being released so late in the PS2 life cycle (though there are Wii port rumors abound) and is going to be overshadowed by the deluge of sequels this year.

I'm getting Mortal Kombat Armageddon, like, tuesday. I came home from California with a bunch of games and I'm still contenting myself there.

I DO need a new computer, though, so I might as well get a good one and wait on Spore.

Now that I think about it, my list is pretty much like Gains'. Especially Elite Beat Agents. If it is nearly as good as Ouendan was (well, still is), it'll be awesome. And not cost nearly as much to get (fucking imports).

Cooking mama is downright incredible. Sure, it seems like some cheesy little piece of crap...but it is an absolute blast.

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade is at the top of my list. I still play Winter Assault in between games of CoH, so it's a must get for me. I'm excited about Empire at War: Forces of Corruption too, but less so than DC. EaW is a pretty solid RTS, but it feels like a partial step back when you hold up against Dawn of War (especially the ground combat).

I might check out Mark of Chaos. I like the fact that it's going to have a very large sense of scale, but I want to wait and see how well it's received. Armies of Exigo (Black Hole's previous RTS) wasn't exactly spectacular, so it's hard for me to want to immediately jump on the bandwagon.
