What games are going to round your year out?

[diablopath]

I remember a few months ago, there were three or four posts circling around what games we were/weren't going to get.

I can't remember exactly what I said I was going to get, but the only games that remained on it were Fable 2 and Fallout 3.

I opted out of Lich King (WoW got too boring for me), waiting for Gears 2 until I get bored with what I've got. There were a few others.

I've actually added quite a few other ones, though.
Didn't plan on Disgaea 3 or Dead Space, and I got both of them.

Didn't plan on World at War or Prince of Persia, and I plan on both of those.
I will also add Fallout 3.

What is left this year for everybody else?

[Deunnero]

I picked up Fable II, so that only leaves GeOW2, which I pre-ordered from Dell.ca for $44.99 earlier this am after seeing the post.

I wanted to pick up Monopoly, but the case mentions nothing about online play ... anyone have it and can shed some light on it?

Also, this doesn't really fit the title of the OP, but the GTAIV DLC will be a pickup, especially with zombies.

[Iron Past]

I grabbed Dead Space because of the deal at Toys R Us, and picked up Fable II a couple days ago, but the rest are still the same. Fallout 3 next week, Gears of War 2 the week after, and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts the week after that. Luckily, Fallout and Gears are already paid for, and Banjo is cheap(ish).

I'll probably put Prince of Persia on my Christmas List.

[Troggles]

Must haves:
Gears of War 2
Wrath of the Lich King
Left 4 Dead
Christmas wishes:
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Fallout 3
Fable 2
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Prince of Persia
Mirror's Edge

[Gorvi]

All I'm buying:

Star Ocean: First Departure
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance 2
Valkyria Chronicles

I may try to sneak in Kingdom Hearts: ReChain of Memories and Persona 4, but I'm not sure yet.

[Kelegacy]

Still to get:

360 Star Ocean game (possibly)
Left 4 Dead
Fallout 3 (all paid for)
Fable 2 should be in my mailbox today from GF, might purchase if it's good.
Gears 2 I'll probably rent and beat, might buy for MP
Still might buy Dead Space, I really enjoyed the 7 chapters I played during a rental

Anything else, like Far Cry 2 and Mirror's Edge will only get rented. Until they come down in price that is.

[rinichanraar]

For me:

Gears of War 2
Little Big Planet
Left 4 Dead
Resistance 2

Bonus (?):

Dead Space

[Sandman]

I'm getting Gears of War, Left 4 Dead and Smackdown vs Raw 09....Fallout 3 has to wait.

[Orca]

Smackdown vs Raw 09 is probably my most anticipated, as it's pretty much the only upcoming game that I haven't had hands-on time with. Fallout 3 is amazing. Gears of War 2 answered all the concerns I had about the first game - particularly the repetitive missions. Left 4 Dead could be the top Xbox Live title for months.

SvR 09 though... I want to see how well the CaF works and the extent of the Highlight Reel system. The gameplay has been stagnant in past years, but it's still solid.

[hunterx280]

Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead should keep me busy well into next year. Throw in my backlog and I should be good for a while. Thanks to everyone who made recommendations on a previous thread. I am good now!

[Wilkz07]

i've been having fun with Warhammer Online, Fable 2, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 and the only other game i really want to play is Gears 2.

[SPBTooL]

I got Fable 2 and will get Gears 2. All my other money will be going to the rest of the family. I will get a second Christmas come tax time.

[diablopath]

All I'm buying:

Star Ocean: First Departure
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance 2
Valkyria Chronicles

I may try to sneak in Kingdom Hearts: ReChain of Memories and Persona 4, but I'm not sure yet.
I don't know how I forgot to put LBP on my list.
-.-

[Wraith]

I've preordered/ordered:

Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)
LittleBigPlanet (PS3)
Luminous Arc 2 (DS)
Ar Tonelico 2 (PS2)


And will most likely get:

The Last Remnant (360)


Anything else I've been looking at will have to wait until next year.

[aVaKus]

Picked up so far:

Crysis Warhead
Stalker: Clear Sky
Fable 2
Dead Space (was gonna go on the Christmas list but I'm weak)

Still to get:

Little Big Planet (paid off)
Far Cry 2
Gears 2 (paid off)
Left 4 Dead (Pre-ordered on Steam)

Christmas:

Fallout 3
Prince of Persia
Mirror's Edge
Resistance 2
SOCOM
Tomb Raider

[Telefrog]

I already have PC Left 4 Dead on preorder.

On the 360, I'm waiting for Gears 2 and Fallout 3.

I think Fable II will keep me occupied until then.

[Squidbot]

Fable 2
Little Big Planet
Dead Space
Gears 2

In that order. LBP would have come first but for the delay. I may pick up fallout 3 to play again at some point.

[pomeroy]

Gears 2 and Left4Dead are the only games I "know" I'll be getting.

Oh, and Penny Arcade Ep. 2. And probably Portal.

[Ghostbear]

Left 4 Dead
Gears of War 2
Sacred 2
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Fallout 3
The Last Remnant

Though the Last Remnant and Tomb Raider are big maybes.

[Schnoogs]

Gears 2
Left 4 Dead
Little Big Planet
Fallout 3

[Doctor Setebos]

Nothing much for me, unfortunately. Probably more downloadable content than anything else. If I end up with a DS for my birthday next week, then this list might change dramatically. :D

Mega Man 9
World of Goo
Art Style: Cubello
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

[rvieira]

Rockband 2 (ps3)
Littlebigplanet
360 Jrpg LR or SO
Wipeout HD

[AliasRomanian]

At first i was surprised to not see as much LBP but then I remembered that there are still many people with out a PS3.

I would like to get Fable 2 but I don't have a 360 :( so my list is as follows:

Already bought/pre-ordered :
Little Big Planet
Farcry 2
Dead Space
Warhammer online

Want:
Fallout3
Persona
Animal Crossing
Prince of Persia
Pure
Valkyria Chronicles
Mirror's Edge

[Sl1pstream]

Gears - 360
Left 4 Dead - PC/360 (depends on framerate during the demo)
Rock Band 2 (if their UK ad is right) - 360
Call of Duty 5 - 360
Far Cry 2 - 360

[itchyeyes]

I'll probably be playing Fable II for the next month, after that I'll probably play Fallout 3 for sure. Dead Space, Gears 2, Resistance 2, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, Mirror's Edge, and Prince of Persia are all maybes. I'll probably play one of the before the end of the year, the rest will have to wait till next year.

[Wraith]

360 Jrpg LR or SOStar Ocean: The Last Hope isn't out until next year (March 3, 2009).

[Maskatron]

I won't even have time to play more than a few games until the end of the year. So it looks like for me it will be:

Dead Space
Fallout 3
Far Cry 2 (MAYBE)

Left 4 Dead, Saints Row 2, GoW2, LBP, etc will have to wait. Fortunately they should all be cheaper by time I get around to them.

Are you planning on getting the console version of L4D? I'd personally move that closer to release date. It's purely multiplayer so the chances of you finding people to play with is going to get smaller after a while if you are going the console route.

[MagGnome]

I already picked up Dead Space.

Going to get:

Fable 2
Fallout 3
Left 4 Dead
Gears 2 (possibly)

[crazyD]

Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, and LBP are the only definites, and my roommate is buying LBP. Maybe PoP or Mirror's Edge? If I get desperate, I might grab Far Cry 2, but I don't want to.

[Loki]

Going cheap-o for the next while. No new games with an exception being Left 4 Dead (maybe) and just playing with WAR and Gametap.

[rinichanraar]

Ah, crap. I just realized I forgot about CoD:WaW.

Updated list:

- Gears of War 2
- Little Big Planet
- Left 4 Dead
- Resistance 2
- Call of Duty: World at War

And possibly Dead Space, depending.

[Schnoogs]

I forgot Mirror's Edge

[KamaItachi]

Fable 2, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead will keep me going for a long time. For a little present to myself for being so awesome, I might also get Phantasy Star 0.

[Johan]

I just bought Meteos Disney Whatever for the DS!

I'll leave now. I might get Gears. ;)
