Will there be any must have games for Christmas Season?

[mauigamer]

I've been looking over the games to be released next month and don't see any real doorbuster games for christmas. Dont get me wrong, there are some games coming out that look fun but I dont see anything that will sell out. Am I way off base? Thoughts?

[BHvrd]

I don't know bout December but November has my wallet sweating...

Rogue Squadron 3 (GC)

Deus Ex 2 (Xbox)

Rainbow Six 3 (Xbox)

Armed And Dangerous (Xbox)

Mario Kart: DD (GC)

Max Payne 2 (Xbox)

Lord of the Rings: ROTK (Multi)

Final Fantasy XI (PS2)

Prince of Persia (Multi) <--getting lots and LOTS of buzz. SCEE has secured exclusitivity for PS2 over there, so something must be good about it...

Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2) <--actually scheduled December

Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)

Medal of Honor (Multi)

GTA Multi Pack (PS2, Xbox)

Mario and Luigi (GBA)

James Bond: EON (multi)

1080 Avalanche (GC) <-- December also.

NFS: Underground (multi)


Also the likelyhood of some of those games being pushed to December is very possible, regardless there is plenty coming to keep me satisfied, though i'm not sure about a "doorbuster", i'm very sure plenty of these will be top sellers.

Btw, haven't seen you in a while, howdy!

Viewtiful Joe. I just got this yesterday and I am hooked. Not to mention that new Ninja Turtles game coming out. That looks hot!

[Griking]

I haven't seen any games advetised that makes me want to buy them new. The only game shopping that I'll probably be doing this Christmas season is for games that were released in September or October once the used prices go down.

Berzerk Debugged!

I'm eyeing gradius V, space channel 5 collection, battlestar galactica, that KOF 2k/2k1 package deal, the new rogue squadron game, billy hatcher, the gba activision anthology, lots of stuff.

This could very well be the end of my checking account as we know it. LOL

Need for Speed Underground
GBA Anthology
Manhunt
Project Gotham Racing 2
PS2 Eye Toy
Metal Gear Solid 3 (?)
Karaoke Revolution
Sword of Mana

I'm sure there are plenty more I'm not remembering right this second...

[mauigamer]

Yeah these are all good games but are any of them going to sell out or go for huge cash on ebay for Christmas?

[chadtower]

You know what this Christmas' hot item will be? Dinner with Brutus Beefcake.

WTF? :o

[devilman]

I'm guessing it's something to stop remote-linking of images. Er... at least I hope it is!

[Sniderman]

ha! I think I got 'em. OK, chad managed to do a remote-link to a picture. However, the site he linked to has some kind of failsafe so that, if anyone posts a remote photo link, up pops a very huge photo of a penis along with an incredibly rude racist remark. I snipped the offending links. (Had to snip intv's post too as he ALSO had that photo linked in.)

[IntvGene]

Sniderman to the rescue... Yay!

<uncovers eyes>

I was definitely wondering about that post.

[chadtower]

What?! Dude, how did that happen but I never noticed it?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I linked to a picture of Brutus Beefcake, not some giant penis.

Okay, just to test it out so I could see, I ran a test post in the Happy Hour Pub, if anyone wants to see it... that IS one effed up picture. No wonder it got snipped so quickly.

I don't know if this counts, but how about CV Space Invaders Collection pack, batch number two?
