Sony PSP w/ Spider-man 2 UMD
Ridge Racer (my EB keeps telling me I'm getting it for free, if not, I'll buy)
Archer MacLean's Mercury

and probably one more game from my girlfriend (I got her this $159 Dooney and Burke wallet she wanted for Easter, so she told me to pick a game I wanted....but I don't know what I want)

If digital devil saga actually comes out on the 23rd like it's supposed to, I'll pick that up...otherwise, I'm trying to cut back on buying new games.

I was planning to pick up God of War, but I tried the demo, and quite frankly, I wasn't all that impressed. I'm not too big a fan of 3D Hack 'n slash type games (the only ones I really like are Rygar & Blood will tell), so that's probably why.

I preordered the limited edition of Jade Empire, but I'm not going to have the funds to go on a buying binge for awhile.

There's an LE of Jade Empire??? Me want! Details?

As for stuff I'm buying, in the next couple weeks:

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (preordered it...EB told me it'd be out on the 31st...that it got pushed back a bit)

Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana - preordered it....should be out on the 7th of April

Other than those and now maybe that Jade Empire LE, I don't think there's much else coming out that I'll be buying anytime soon.

From what I have heard it's supposed to have an extra playable character and nicer case. Other then that I don't think there's much of a differences. Though it cast the same amount as the normal edition.

Pickings for me right now are pretty slim.

Last week I got Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the XBox. The week before that, the Paradox Strategy Six Pack for PC and both current baseball games (ESPN and MLB) for the XBox. But those games I either had paid off or used a gift card for.

Next week World At War for the PC is susposed to come out -- it's allready been delayed twice, but at least I'll have money by then to pick it up.

What am I SUSPOSED to be getting next month if there are no more delays? Wild Arms: Alter Code F and FF XII, both for the PS2. I believe that the Sega remakes of Phantasy Star got delayed to May or June.

Today I got Pinball Hall Of Fame (PS2) and Batman Vengeance (GCN).

Depending on reviews, I may get NARC and Ford Racing 3 for the PS2, although I'll skip the latter if the MSRP is higher than the $9.99 Ford Racing 2 went for. Other than that, I might trade with a friend for ATV Offroad Fury 2.

I have preordered the Sega / Sammy beat-em-up that is coming to the Xbox, supposedly in super-low numbers. I could care less about the super-low numbers, I just want a good new school beat-em-up :)

Beyond that, I was thinking about Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, but I'll probably pass. After finding Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 for the GameCube at Toys R Us for only $30.00, I'm really happy and don't know if I'll need it. I'll probably wait until I find it under $15 too :)

my local EB keeps telling me that I'm getting Ridge Racer free with my PSP preorder (so, maybe everyone will get it just for buying the system, i dont know)

God of War is getting some seriously good reviews so far.. 9.8 out of ten for IGN and 9.3 on Gamespot. It's definitely worth a rental at least.

honestly its not like any other game, so saying its not your kinda of game is like saying an entire genere that you have never played is not your kind of game

trust all the good things you have heard about it...you will like it

Just bought Kill-Switch (PS2), Viewtiful Joe 2 (GC), and Wario Ware Inc. (GBA) for $10 each last night. I never finished the original VFJ on PS2, so maybe I should play that one first.

I'll be picking up my PSP value pack pre-order from Gamerush along with a game but I haven't decide which one yet. Probably Darkstalkers.

If I've got any money left, I'll get Mega Man Anniversary (Xbox) and/or Phantom Dust.

I'm sadly really thinkin about picking up God of War this week... it just looks so bad ass and is getting fantastic reviews. I just finished an RPG too so I think it might be time for a sweet action game...

ARGH, MUST FINISH SEMESTER WITHOUT DEBT.

There's an LE of Jade Empire??? Me want! Details?

The LE has an extra playable character. Some kind of monk guy. I also read somewhere, don't remember where, that a pre-order of the LE will be the same price (49.99) as the regular version. If true, there's no reason not to pre-order right away.
