What's next on your gaming radar screen?

All PS3 related, unless of course I purchase a 360 come holiday season with the new cooler chips and quieter hard drive. Hence, a more reliable console!

NHL 08 (depends on how it plays on the PS3)
NHL 2K8 (leaning towards this as it plays at 60fps....get your head out of your arse EA!)
Hot Shots Golf 5
NBA 2K8
Fifa 08 (maybe)
PES (depends on which soccer game interests me the most)
Ratchet and Clank
COD4 (looking oh so nice on the PS3)
Rock Band (eh, maybe)
College Hoops 2K8
Sing Star (maybe)
Assassin's Creed (most likely)
Haze (exclusive to the PS3, most likely)
Unreal Tournament (doubt it, but I'm intrigued to rent at least)
Unchartered: Drake's Fortune (100% yes)
Eight Days (sounds very interesting)
GT Prologue (Defiitely)

Yeah, that's the one. It's like GTA but set in the 1920s and 1930s.

I didn't know you can set up the wheel for driving. I'll try that -- cool!

Thanks,

Yeh, kinda funny when you have shootouts in the car one hand on the wheel one on the mouse ,awkward but fun. i dont think you can skip the driving so i made the most of it by setting up the wheel. Gets in the way when you get out the car but hey the joys of realism and limited desk space. Make sure you give it a go.

What mods are you guys looking forward to? I'm really looking forward to the 1991 F1 mod.

I hated the Skate demo as I am awful with the sticks.

I will probably get NHL 08 and that should keep me busy for a long time.

I'm feeling this little indie title called Halo 3 in a couple weeks....

Brando70 · Post by **Brando70** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 2:51 pm

I am now at the most difficult part of this year's purchasing cycle. I have Guitar Hero III, COD 4, and Mass Effect staring at me in the next few weeks, and a Best Buy gift card I can use for one. I actually can pop for the other two, but the bigger issue is time: when the hell am I going to be able to play all these games? GH is hard to resist because it's such goofy fun. COD looks both great as an offline and online game. Mass Effect looks like a game of the year candidate. Plus I just got Halo 3, I am enjoying PGR 4 as much as PGR 2, and NBA 2k8 is also pretty top notch.

I'd like to just buy one more game between now and Christmas so I can play what I have, then maybe catch up on the others later. So, what say ye, DSPers -- what are your real must-buys in the next couple months?

Naples39 · Post by **Naples39** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 3:04 pm

For me there is only one absolute must-have, and that is COD4.

I will surely get GH3 too, though not enough new things going on there for me to be really pumped. I will also get Rock Band, which I think could be a lot of fun and will actually have some new elements.

pk500 · Post by **pk500** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 3:07 pm

Nothing but mods and add-ons for rFactor, NR 2003, GTR 2, NHL 08, Madden 08 and Rugby 08, and they're all free.

Take care,
PK

Slumberland · Post by **Slumberland** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 3:14 pm

COD will be on my shelf. Mass Effect might find its way there, too. I think that's it, for the rest of the year. Assassin's Creed is a must play, but I smell rental.

GTHobbes · Post by **GTHobbes** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 3:24 pm

I'm really looking forward to COD and CHoops. From the "now for something completely different" department, I'm also thinking about picking up the Simpsons game whenever it's released, or maybe Ratchet and Clank (I enjoyed the demo for both games and currently have nothing like either in my library). I've also got to question when the hell I'm going to find the time to play these and the other games I already have, but that has never stopped me from buying before.

Brando70 · Post by **Brando70** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 3:54 pm

I am leaning toward COD 4 first, mostly because I think that will have some long poker night legs. I know GH III has online play, but that's mostly going to be a single player game for me, as is Mass Effect. I may just add those to the Christmas list with Rock Band.

10spro · Post by **10spro** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 5:01 pm

Pre-ordered COD 4.

Teal · Post by **Teal** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 6:57 pm

Got COD4 and Ace Combat 6 on preorder. The COD wait has made October longer than I wanted it to be!

Assassin's Creed is shaping up to be a purchase.

Mass Effect will most likely be a GF'er.

The sports games from here on out will all be GF.

I'd love to get my hands on one of the Guitar games, but will wait to see what the consensus is. Will NOT pay 160 bucks for Rock Band, however cool that idea is.

Gurantsu · Post by **Gurantsu** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 7:11 pm

The next biggie for me is Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway.

vader29 · Post by **vader29** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 7:27 pm

I already have Guitar Hero 3 preordered directly from redoctane.com with free shipping and no tax and will also be getting Rock Band, but just the game only. For the Wii, I'll be picking up Mario Galaxy on release day and that will probably be it for me for the rest of this year.
