q3-q4 must haves!

[sisko]

I was thumbing through my free issue of Gamepro that I got in the mail yesterday, and I had never realized that there are that many highly anticipated games coming out throughout the rest of the year! This is a big step up, there are usually only one or two games that I really want per quarter, and then, they can usually wait until the price drops.

Here are my must haves, what are yours?

Spider Man 2 (Xbox, PS2) - out now
GTA San Andreas (PS2) - october
Donkey Konga (GCN) - September
DDR Extreme (PS2)- September
Armored Core: Nexus (ps2) - August
Puyo pop fever (GCN) - out now
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (PS2) - August
Growlanser Generations: Deluxe Edition (ps2) - Whenever WD feels like releasing it.....supposedly August now

Coupled with my Q2 wants that I am still waiting for (Front Mission 4...) and the upcoming releases in Q1-2 2005 (Zeldas, Timesplitters, Advance Wars...) I am going to have my hands very full.

These are all I can think of.

Pikmin 2
Donkey Konga

Halo 2

Metroid Prime 2
RE4 (if it still makes 2004)

Oh yeah forgot about those two astro boy games. ;)

[Tritoch]

This fall is so packed that I forgot all about Suikoden IV, even though it's easily one of my favorite series of all-time. X_x

[petewhitley]

Just about every XBox Live game between now and Christmas. XBox Nation had an article this month on what's coming up, and I'm down for like 23 out of 25 games. Seriously, if you enjoy head-to-head competition at all, you've gotta be on XBox Live right now. This is the most fun I've had gaming since I was a kid ....

[portnoyd]

A lot of titles on the radar 'o' port already listed, but main ones seem to be...

SF Anniversary Collection (SF3:TS Online. A-fuckin-men.)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (If it makes 2004...)
Paper Mario 2
Hot Shots Golf Fore (Just played the demo today... more of the same awesomeness)
Fable (If it makes 2004...)
Resident Evil 4 (If it makes 2004..)

The main game I want in the next 3 months is Doom 3. Goddamn. Gimme some of that. I've got my pumped PC for it, and I can't believe how amazing it looks. Old school DMing too. AND IT'S ACTUALLY COMING OUT NEXT MONTH. I can't wait to lose my social life when this comes out.

[Fatalist]

Seeing as how budget's so tight that I could asphixiate a cow right now, I'll be lucky to get Metroid Prime 2 and Pikmin 2 for my GC.
