    Will get on release date:

    FIFA 12
    Batman: Arkham City
    Modern Warfare 3
    TES V: Skyrim

    I may hold off on Skyrim as MW3 comes out three days before it.

    Will eventually get:

    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    Halo Anniversary
    Battlefield 3
    Gears of War 3
    Dead Island
    Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    It's hard to stomach paying $60 for a game when you can count on it being $20 or even sometimes less two or three months later. If you just accept that you will be three months late to the party, it's easy to save a lot of money. Those games I will buy on day one I know will give me hours of enjoyment: FIFA, Skyrim, and MW3 more so than Arkham City, but I LOVED Arkham Asylum. For Gears and Battlefield I may wait a while for the inevitable DLC-included version.

    EDF already came out, so the only thing I'm really mega interested in the rest of the year is Saints Row The Third.

    Day One:
    Modern Warfare 3
    Battlefield 3
    Sonic Generations (Console)

    Possible Day One or Soon:
    Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
    Sonic Generations (3DS)
    Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection

    Wait for Price Drop/Maybe:
    Super Mario 3D Land
    Rage(waiting for DLC heavy Single Disc release)
    The Elder Scrolls 3: Skyrim (waiting for DLC heavy Single Disc release)
    Saints Row: The Third(waiting for DLC heavy Single Disc release)
    The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    I'm surprised at this list, there are a lot more games that I am really interested in but I suppose they were either pushed back or are released in 2012.

    It got so much love on the first page that I threw it on the list. I'm surprised that I've never even heard of this game before everyone in here started giving it shout outs.

    Another game that I don't have on the list that I'm interested in is Tekken Hybrid. It's a PS3 exclusive that features an HD remake of Tekken Tag Tournament, a demo of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and a CGI 3D movie called Tekken Blood Vengeance. Tekken is my preferred fighting game series so I'm already drooling over this one.

    I never purchase new releases unless they're priced under $25 (tops), or they have offline co-op multiplayer and the wife is interested in them (mainly zombie survivor games like Left4Dead).

    With that said, I'll purchase any reasonable priced HD collection early on if it's available at my price point (I can usually fine a sale), and I'll most likely purchase Dead Island if there's offline line co-op. Otherwise, I'll wait for everything on that list I'm interested in.

    Not a single game on that list. I already own Minecraft, can't wait for 1.8 to come out as well as the full release in November. I want to play Borderlands 2, but that is at least a year out, and I won't buy it until it's on sale with all the DLC on Steam.

    I would buy Fallout 3 GOTY or New Vegas GOTY (after it gets announced) if they were on Steam for $10 or less.

    Other than that, I'm looking back in time, rather than forward.
