Xbox 360 Fall Release Games

IRT Hat: Looks like I can strike that one off my list then. Split screen coop sucks ass.

See, I like both but not having split screen coop is a definite negative for me. I enjoy playing Co-op with my friend in the same room.

I'm also getting like Sky. I'm buying more and more for consoles and my PC is becoming a productivity and internet surfing machine.

If someone made an XBox Live-style gamepad interface for Windows, I would be on the sofa in an instant.

I've done the Lazy boy/wireless mouse and keyboard thing before and I'm personally not a fan.  It just really doesn't feel right to me, but different strokes, I guess.

As for the whole PC from the couch, I prefer to my porn station to have doors.  Plus, yah know, furniture considerations.  Not to mention having two gaming areas in the house has its benefits, especially during a new Project Runway season.

[Yegolev]

Are we having the PC-couch discussion again?  Personally, it's an ergonomic problem with using a keyboard+mouse on the sofa.  Maybe you will suggest some sort of lapboard or tray table, to which I will say: pain in the ass.  Thumbmouse?  Those fall into two categories: cheap shit or presentation devices.  I'm not casting judgement on anyone or thing here, only saying it's just not for me.

Also I agree with Rasix's points.  It's nice to have your man-cave.  Did I tell everyone how my wife was putting something on one of my shelves in my office and managed to get a nice cut on her ankle?  She shows this to me in a complaint-fashion and I just reply "Why were you in my office?"

[Chenghiz]

Well, I meant an entire gamepad-friendly replacement interface from which you could run whatever games you wanted to play from your seat, jut using the gamepad.

[Morfiend]

Update. I thought Crash of the Titans was "Clash". Boo. Also, added Jericho, I got that confused with Call of Juarez.

Call of Juarez demo was terrible.   And yah, I can't even get moderately excited for Tony Hawk after playing just the skate demo.  Not going to get skate for about another week; the wait is unbearable.

Really itching for Katamari.  I expect the achievements on it to be outstanding.

[MisterNoisy]

Not going to get skate for about another week; the wait is unbearable.

Did you order from Amazon too?  I won't see my copy til the 20th. :(

[Rasix]

Nothing that bad.  I know for my birthday that I'm getting a game I don't really want anymore.  With this season's flood, I can't afford to have games I don't really want.  That game will pay for skate.

On the other hand, I almost wish I didn't crack open my copy of Madden.  I'm just befuddled by the current state of the franchise after not owning a Madden game for the past 5 years.     There's just so much new shit too.  Gyah.

[schild]

Who wants to play football with all the other stuff coming out this season anyway?

[Phildo]

Yeah, like... hockey.  And college football!

[Velorath]

Any game with a multiplayer component will be better on the 360, period.  XBL is just better than anything Sony will concoct this generation,

We need to wait until HOME drops to judge that.

You mean we have to wait until sometime after HOME drops, when all the features have finally been patched in, don't you?

Looks like I gave them too much credit.  They had to push the whole thing back until Spring 2008.  Not surprising given some of the things I've heard from Beta testers.

Updated the list.

[Bokonon]

Rockband is out 11/23 (OMG Black Friday!!!), not the 20th.

What can I say about F13?  It's really my favorite website in the entire universe!  I love the irreverent banter and sly wit these keyboard jockeys produce.  And I especially love the staff, they're AWESOME.

[HAMMER FRENZY]

I have to admit that coming from my point of view, (I don't own either a PS3 or an XBOX 360) I would buy a 360 WAY before I would buy a PS3. It just seems like everything I want to play is on or will be on the 360 and it has a vastly superior online infrastructure. I am actually just waiting for the new box's to come out so I can get one, cause I don't want a Halo 3 box, or an elite. But I am really excited about all the stuff I will get to play. And Virtua Fighter 5 with the current version update and online support is toooo sweet. I can't freaking wait.

[Rasix]

Lost Odyssey delayed until Feb 2008.  Ohh well, at least this will give me some time to play some of the games I'm buying.

[SnakeCharmer]

Everytime I see

Beautiful Katamari

I think of a really well prepared meal of fried squid.



Anway, my wishlist:

November 13, 2007    Kane & Lynch: Dead Men    Eidos Interactive    Action      
November 20, 2007    Mass Effect    Microsoft    RPG      

[Big Gulp]

Yep.  This is my list, and I'm actually forced to ignore Conan and Guitar Hero III because I just can't justify buying them too when all this other shit is right around the corner.  The grand daddy, though, is Rock Band.  I really can't wait for drunken band nights.

What.  The.  Fuck.  When the hell did that happen?!?  I was almost ready to forgive them for Blue Dragon!

[murdoc]

Think this is my list, currently just have Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect on pre-order. If any games get pushed back it'll be Brother's in Arms and Rock Band.

Happened at TGS. American localization is trailing 2 months behind the jpy one.

Amen. I am planning my New Year's Eve party around Rock Band.

Updated for November.

Army of Two pushed back to next year. Also Rock Band on the 23rd.

Only first day purchase for me is Mass Effect right now.  Others (Assassin's Creed, etc) can wait for reviews and Christmas.

My gaming backlog is getting ridiculous.

[Sky]

Did GTA4 slip? I thought that was november.

[schild]

GTA 4 was always Q1 08.

[Sky]

Rockstar Games initially appeared to be committed to the 16 October 2007 release date. However, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter suggested that Take-Two may choose to delay the release of GTA IV in order to boost its financial results for 2008 and to avoid competing with the release of another highly anticipated title, Halo 3.[4] Rockstar responded by saying that GTA IV was still on track for release in "late October".

On 2 August 2007, Take-Two announced that Grand Theft Auto IV would miss its original release date of 16 October 2007 after all, and would be pushed back to their fiscal second quarter (February - April) of 2008.

So it was Oct 16 up until a couple months ago. My bad, I misremembered it as Nov, but I knew it was definitely to be out before xmas07. Now it's slipped.

[Yegolev]

So it was Oct 16 up until a couple months ago. My bad, I misremembered it as Nov, but I knew it was definitely to be out before xmas07. Now it's slipped.

Lots of crap has been slipping (that was not a porn industry insider joke), which irritates the crap out of me each time until I realize that I don't have time to play what I already have.  GTAIV being delayed was, in the end, just fine.

[Sky]

I hear ya. I've yet to finish Bioshock (almost done, though), I'm just getting into the beef of the Witcher, Kunark is right around the corner. Between those and a couple older titles I'm working through, I'm pretty well set for the rest of the year. Looking forward to GH3 on pc!

After the new year, grab a few of the titles that I didn't get (Crysis, maybe some others). Hopefully if they can ship GTA4:Console by April 08, we can get a pc version before xmas 08, Rockstar has taken 6 months for pc ports in the past. Maybe we'll see Mass Effect on the pc before the end of the decade
