The video games coveting thread

[The Future]

CSAMH since you are in Japan can't you do what they do in Asia and just get a 360 and mod it?(since you can't mod PS3's)to play pirated games on it? that way games only cost up to like 5 dollars I think it is?. It's the way I do it here, that way I can buy whatever game I want

[New Damage]

Curious for the new Need for Speed: Shift too just because it's beautiful. Just saw the trailer for it on Play too, think I came. Jeremy Clarkson definately did.

Quoting this so it is never edited. Lolillegal.

Anyway...

Must-haves:

NHL 10

Dead Rising 2

Scribblenauts (despite the lack of DS at the moment)

Probably gets:

Batman: Arkham Asylum, though it may very well just end up being a rental depending upon its length.

Mass Effect 2

Mafia II

Left 4 Dead 2

We'll see about the new Fallout, Marvel: UA2, the new Spliter Cell, and a few others. I'll need to play a demo or some shit. Ultimate Alliance I honestly can't see as more than a rental. As for Modern Warfare 2, I know it'll be amazing, but FPS games aren't my thing and I don't care about their online multiplayer at all. Maybe if I had friends over more often, I'd consider it for local multiplayer.

I'm a simple man, really.

Silly Future.

1) You're not allowed to promote illegal activity regarding computing on this board.

2) Me getting a 360?!

[Quom]

Since when? I thought we were allowed to discuss it, but not discuss the hows and wheres? I'm sure there has been mentions of R4s and the like for instance?

[MalaCloudy Black]

10. No referring people to places where they can download illegal material. You can discuss things like peer-to-peer programs, but referring people to illegal material (such as mp3s, ROMs, or program cracks) will most likely get you banned.

I haven't seen or read much on it, but the graphics were diabolical on the last one. There were times when you'd be driving and the screen would freeze for, sometimes, up to five seconds before the scenery loaded ahead of you. Two of the times that happened (out of like 386) I was first in a race and it automatically put me back into 8th place. :/

So yeah, unless there's new guys working on the graphical/frame aspect of the new game, I wouldn't hold your breath.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ahh yes the next cricket game. Definitely worth a purchase if I can chase it down.

[GoGo Yubari]

Rock Band: The Beatles. That and The Ballad of Gay Tony will likely be my fall video game purchases as far as new games go.

[EddieRuckus]

The more and more I see gameplay footage and the gameplay trailers, the more I want September 9th to come right now

[stokeriño]

I've just been informed that Hearts of Iron III is being released on August 7th, which is about a month earlier than I thought it would be.

So hooray, I guess I'll be spending much of the coming month conquering and/or liberating Europe then.

I'll do this for stuff that will see a release this year (no room for you DR2!).

Modern Warfare 2 is the main one. ODST, FIFA 10 and Scribblenauts are also there but to lesser extents.

Then I have a few that I am interested in and may pick up like Shadow Complex, MUA2, Borderlands and L4D2.

I suppose technically Fallout 3 GotY and Tales From Liberty City are also on my list but I wont pick them up until they become much cheaper.
