Big wave of games releases the next 2-3 weeks

Beginning with NBA Live and Jak II this week. Also out is the new XBL Starter Kit and MTV Celebrity Death Match for all 3 systems for only $20. Might have been more interesting if they made it online as they planned to at one time.
 
 Next week is SSX3, Rogue Squadron 3 (GCN), ESPN NBA, Castlevania (PS2), and Crimson Skies (Xbox, according to ebgames.com).
 
 The last week of the month is FIFA 2004, Shootout (you never know), NFL Blitz Pro, Tony Hawk Underground, Top Spin (Xbox), Beyond Good and Evil (by one of the designers of Splinter Cell), Risk (6-player online for PS2), Gladius (LucasArts for all 3 systems).
 
 First week of November brings SOCOM II, Prince of Persia, Lord of the Rings:Return of the King and True Crime:Streets of LA (supposed contender to GTA).
 
 There are probably a lot of other games which I omitted that others are waiting for.
 
 We´re gonna need that TRU 3-for-2 deal to come through! Either that or be ready to sell blood.

As I just told BK in an e-mail, I´ve pulled all the weeds from my gaming collection and sold everything but four games so I have bread for all of the sick-looking titles coming down the virtual pike in the next six weeks.
 
 The only games I have left are Moto GP 2, IndyCar Series, ESPN NFL and Ghost Recon Island Thunder, all for the Xbox. I´m going to pick up Cabela´s Deer Hunt 2004 for $29.99 this week, as that game has gripped the s*** out of me, unsuspectingly.
 
 In the next four weeks, I´m definitely getting Links 2004, Top Spin, Project Gotham Racing 2 and the Grand Theft Auto Double Pack for Xbox.
 
 I hope to have enough bread for one more wild-card title after I sell a bunch of motorsports memorabilia. I´m considering Amped 2, FIFA 2004, NHL Rivals, Rainbow Six 3 or NBA Inside Drive 2004 for my wild-card purchase.
 
 As I wrote in the newest news blurb on the front page, I highly recommend CheapAssGamers.com as a resource for online and offline gaming bargains during the next two months as a shitload of Grade-A titles flood the market for the holiday season. It´s a real site -- seriously. A really good site!
 
 Take care,
 PK

I will be picking up at least:
 The big 3 pro hoop titles (Live, Drive and ESPN)
 The big 2 college hoop titles (MM and ESPN)
 Top Spin
 Links
 True Crime
 Crimson Sky
 PGR2
 Counter Strike
 XBOX GTA double pack
 Plus the new Rebel Asssault for GCN.
 
 All of the EA games will be for Ps2, as I am basically keeping my PS2 to play EA games online.
 
 How many of these I keep, I have no idea, but hopefully a few of them will suck, so i dont have gamers overload.

Don´t forget that WWE Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain is due by the end of the month too.
 
 Surprisingly, I haven´t had the urge to get anything new since I picked up Raw2 a few weeks ago. I´m sticking with ID2003 for my bbal fix, unless one of the new ones is vastly superior to it.
