I don't buy games NEW anymore. What games are "must haves" from the recent crop of releases?

[Retsudo]

None, Im waiting for Socom2, Ghost recon Jungle storm, and Williams Arcade Classics next month 8-)

I rarely ever buy new games (I buy about one $50 game a year), but I had to break down this week and buy Top Spin tennis. After playing if for a few hours, I knew it was money well spent. Best tennis game ever. (yes...even better than Virtua Tennis!).

[Oobgarm]

I want Top Spin something fierce, but the lure of a new vehicle is keeping me from buying anything at the moment.

Looks like most of the games I want will be on my Christmas/Birthday list. :D

Hmm.

I've been digging these lately:

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, SSX 3, Viewtiful Joe, F-Zero GX, and I hear that Jak II is great.

I know that Need for Speed: Underground will kick ass on November 18th. :D

[chadtower]

Do homebrews count as new games? Other than those, I haven't bought a 'new' game since the N64 first came out.

[NE146]

i'm just waiting for the new Mario Kart :P

[WiseSalesman]

I can't afford to buy games new, especially not every week. I did buy viewtiful joe new, but there were mitigating circumstances.

[sisko]

i'm just waiting for the new Mario Kart :P

Ditto that. I just need to come up with 50$ by launch X_x

[bargora]

Rygar (PS2) and Ball Breakers (PS)

I'm looking forward to sitting down with a sack of Nut Poppers while I play Ball Breakers. Maybe I'll wash it down with some Mello Yello.

WWE Smackdown:Here Comes the Pain (Ps2)

[ubersaurus]

I'm gettin the new smackdown tomorrow, seeing as how if SYM is any indication, the price won't drop for at least a year.

[SoulBlazer]

Well, I got Railroad Tycoon 3 for full price this week for the PC -- the sequel to one of the BEST Sid PC games ever made. And this game is a blast as well.

My planned buys for next month are Fire Emblem for the GBA, Victoria and Crusader Kings for the PC, and MGS: Twin Snakes for the GC.

[Starcade]

I bought Tony Hawks Underground, and WWE Smackdown 5:JBTP.

I am very happy w/ myself!

[buttasuperb]

Nothing.

Last week I got Crimson Skies. Best next gen game in a LONG time, and I haven't even played online yet.

[wberdan]

i bought tony hawks underground- and even though i was bitching about it- it is well worth the 50$ price if you liked the previous versions. even with its flaws- it is still an amazing game.

The last game I got was Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, and that was on Saturday. So, I got nothing for this week. If I had the cash, I'd get F-Zero GX and then Viewtiful Joe. But Castlevania and Rush come first. Speaking of which, I got Vapor Trails. :rocker:

Being middle class really bites sometimes. :angry:

I 'spose that I'll buy Shining Soul on GBA this week.

It's funny. I spent a few years in the vid-game business and immersed myself in DC, PS2, Cube, XboX etal.......now I think I can say that I'm burned out on all of the modern game trappings......which is why I showed up and joined you guys here at DP. (I'm aka Merlin at VM, Joe)

I get more of a kick out of paying $3 for a Genesis or NES game than I do paying today's prices for modern games. $70 bucks (Canadian) vs $3 bucks...it's kinda a no-brainer as to where my wallet is happiest. When I find an "A-list" title for my retros in good condition with box and instructions, I'm way happy for days.

[aremid23]

Well, I've been playing:

Viewtiful Joe
Castlevania: LoI
TMNT - Gamecube
TMNT - GBA
F-Zero GX

And I can't wait for:

Mario Kart: Double Dash
Ninja Gaiden
I-Ninja

[Griking]

I don't usually buy new games at full price but every now and then new games are released at discount prices. For instance, I picked up Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution for $19.99 new when it came out. And just this week I took a chance at a "B" game by picking up Celebrity Deathmatch for $19.99 new.

Playing as Ron Jeremy is funny as hell. LOL

[hamburgler]

Probably, the only new game I got was THUG for PS2. Haven't stopped playing the game since I bought it after playing MechAssault for a while. :D

[calthaer]

I think the newest game I have is Tron 2.0. I've just purchased several games recently including FFX, Sly Cooper, and Warcraft III: Frozen Throne, but those aren't new releases.

The only new game I'm eagerly anticipating is DEUS EX: INVISIBILE WAR

Everything else is probably going to leave me cold unless they warm me up with a price of $30 or less.

EDIT: I just downloaded the trailer for DX: Invisible War, and OH MAN this is going to ROCK! You can have your MGS and FF games - man...when that terrorist guy opened his little capsule and FWOOSH!!!

I'd say Viewtiful Joe and Boktai are both must-haves from the recent releases. I also recently bought Shining Soul, but haven't bothered to open it, and the same goes for the new Buffy for X-Box.

As for upcoming must-haves.....for me: Deus Ex: Invisible War, Onimusha Tactics, and Fire Emblem. That's pretty much it.
