    Default most wanted for the holidays

    Im honestly a little overwhelmed by all the games I want to check out over the next couple month. Trying to figure how I can play em all. I canceled gamefly a while back for school but thinking I might sign up just for the holidays and see how many I can go through.

    my wish list, it keeps growing. I know I'm leaving some out:

    Modern Warfare 2
    Assanins Creed 2
    Super Mario Bros. Wii
    Left 4 Dead 2
    Forza 3
    Borderlands
    Punch Out

    what games you looking to play this season and how do you pull it off without spending lots of $$ ?

    wait 6 months

    I am dying to have DragonAge Origins this holiday season... however, I won't be able to afford it for about 6 months when it will go down a bunch.

    You know my '09 list was pretty small, but New Super Mario Bros Wii has gotten pretty good reviews...

    I'd say:
    Brutal Legend
    Mushihimesama Futari
    New Super Mario Bros Wii
    Silent Hill Shattered Memories

    in early '10:
    Final Fantasy XIII
    Mass Effect 2

    Lot's of other good stuff out there, but those are the ones that I'd really like to play soon.

    Cheers,
    Ben

    I am waiting for Mushihimesama Futari too =) Happy to still find love for shmups!

    Games that came out in 09' that I still didn't get :

    Punch-out Wii
    ODST
    Forza 3
    Demon blade
    Scribblenauts

    If Starcraft 2 comes out in 2010, I am not sure I will find time to play any other game!

    Get a Gamefly subscription. It's saved me a ton of money and let me play dozens of games I enjoyed but wouldn't necessarily want to spend $50+ on. They also have good discounts on used games for sale if you're a member.
    If you can't do it with 8 bits, you don't need to do it!

    I just don't have the patience to wait 6 months for game prices to come down. I want games to play when I have some time off.

    Yes, I pulled the trigger and signed back up today for the 2 at a time membership.

    Well, since I already have Modern Warfare 2 and have pre-ordered Mushihime-sama Futari thats two of the new releases down.

    I guess I need to pick up Episodes from Liberty City / Ballad of Gay Tony and also Katamari Forever still.

    Then there's the DS stuff I've not been buying: Rhythm Paradise, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Scribblenauts.

    But mainly I want an iPhone 3GS.

    And I have still to play Aquanaut's Holiday which cost me quite a bit...

    Most of the new games I can wait on, not really rushing out to get them. But Left 4 Dead 2 is a game I would for sure like to pick up soon. At first when I played the demo, I didn't really like it as much as I liked the first one. But after awhile of playing and looking into it, It really grew on me.
