Wangler1316's diary :: ::

Well the dead, dry, and boring summer for gaming is finally coming to a close. And the fall is about to begin. With so many games coming out in a 3 week period its going to be tough deciding which games to get. Here are my picks

September 23- Brothers in Arms Hells Highway
October 21- Far Cry 2
October 31- Fable 2
November 20- Left 4 Dead
November 7 Gears 2
That's one heck of a gaming year right there. Also I will probably pick up Dead Space and Fallout 3 if they get decent reviews later in the year. So what games are you buying?

EDITOR`S NOTE: fixed the release date for Left4Dead. Gabe Newell just announced that it won`t be out till the 20th.

Well because of some stupid bullshit (none / 0)

with my school I no longer have a room in my residence and have to commute every day. The upside, I now have a shitload of money so I can get whatever games I want.
PS. If all goes well I might still have a place in Toronto, same place as Mr.Goggles, and i wont have money again haha.

Gears 2 is probably it for me. (none / 0)

I'm interested in Brothers in Arms however, I'm not sure if I will get it.

by HOOT on Sun Aug 24, 2008 at 07:48:45 PM EST
easy... (none / 0)
- Rock Band 2
- Dead Space
- Gears 2
- Left 4 Dead
In that order :D
by RoBBins0096 on Sun Aug 24, 2008 at 08:17:12 PM EST
hmmm... (none / 0)

BIA: HH
Castle Crashers (maybe)
Fable 2
Gears 2
I'll also rent Mercinaries 2 which comes out the end of this month. Will also probably pick up Left for Dead. I would like to get Guitar Hero 4 but its just too expensive since i already got Rock Band last year.
Sigh...too many games, too many games.

These 3 for sure (none / 0)

Force Unleashed
Fable 2
Gears 2
In that order everything else has to wait till Christmas or unless I get extra money. These should keep me busy awhile. I'm trying to start painting using Corel and a new pad and those are going to cost me some cash so I'm going light on the game side for now.

I was thinking (none / 0)

it was gonna be a light fall but the more I think the more I realize its going to be anything but.
NHL 09
FIFA 09
Gears of War 2
Little Big Planet
Far Cry 2
Left4Dead (?)
There may be a few more but thats too big of a start as it is already!
