Here's my outlook for must plays for the rest of the year...
8/21 – Bioshock
8/27 – Metroid Prime 3
8/28 – Blue Dragon
9/17 – Eternal Sonata
9/18 – MySims
9/30 – Hellgate: London
10/1 – Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass
10/16 – GTA IV
11/5 – Fire Emblem Wii
11/6 – Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
11/12 – Super Mario Galaxy
11/20 – Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
12/3 – Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Most dates should be fairly accurate except for Hellgate which is an approximation based on their current 'done by end of summer' outlook. It could fall a month or two though.
Basically the deal is though that I'm screwed. #1, I don't think I can afford all these games without feeling the wrath of Mrs. Artadius. I mean, I CAN afford them, but we've got a baby on the way and we're looking to buy a new house... so the justification is hard.
If I HAD to cut it down to one game per month (which is about par for me), it'd be Bioshock, Hellgate, GTA IV, SMG, and SSBB.
I've got Gamefly, I'm sure half of this will get subsidized there. Unfortunately, that might solve the money issue...but it doesn't solve the time issue.
who cares about GTAIV, its just going to be the same game you played before with a different accent and better lighting...oh and the ground will have more trash on it.
I care... because its one of the few games I have fun with AND the Missus enjoys watching me play. When you get married and have a family, you'll CHERISH games like that.
I'm going to be so broke this year. In no particular order:
-Assassin's Creed
-The Orange Box
-Rock Band
-Guitar Hero 3
-Call of Duty 4
-BioShock
-Mercenaries 2
-Eternal Sonata
-Beautiful Katamari
-GTA IV
-Mass Effect
-The Simpsons game
-Splinter Cell Conviction
-A Wii along with Smash Bros, Mario Galaxy, and Metroid Prime

You forgot Assassins Creed. o.O
What about Half Life: Orange Box?!?!
There is no prove the game is coming out in 2007 in the US. For sure in UK 2007 though.
Also, do GameFly, save you some money.
My list is smaller...
BioShock!
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Half Life: Orange Box
Left 4 Dead
And I think I will wait for Christmas for Mario Galaxy...not sure about Brawl (wait or buy it immediately)
grr i forgot Revenant Wings

August is going to be a rough one for me. Luminous Arc, Harvest Moon: Rune Factory and Heroes of Mana all come out the same day!
My DS needs a credit card swiper.
