When it comes to video games I am obsessive-compulsive about beating them. If I start a game I must finish it. No matter how bad, or how hard it is I will not rest until the ending credits have rolled across the screen. Like Bruce Hornsby says ... that's just the way it is!

Today I decided to sit down and figure out exactly how much money I'm going to be spending on all the games I was planning on buying this Fall. In order to exercise some level of "control", I decided to only include games that I was 100% sure I wanted to play. What I quickly discovered was that my list was much much much larger then I thought. Below is the complete list of titles I came up with, along with release dates and prices. As you can see, if you add all those dollar amounts up you get $780. Add in the 7% North Carolina sales tax and it brings the total up to $835. I don't know about you, but that is a whole hell of a lot of money. I'm honestly starting to think that I need to reconsider whether I really want some of these games. Not only is $835 a lot of money to spend, but there are just too many games on this list to physically attempt to play in the alloted time. Just check out October 20th. There are three games coming out on that same day I want to play, and all of them are probably 40+ hour games. What the hell was I thinking when I made this list? On another note, weren't a lot of games supposed to be pushed back to 2010. Looking at this list, you wouldn't think any games had been pushed back at all. Damn video game developers and all their stupid creative genius. I wish they would just take a break for a while. So how much money do the rest of you plan on spending this Fall on games? Anywhere near the insane amount I plan on spending? Sept. 22 -Halo 3: ODST- $60 Sept. 29 -Dead Space: Extraction- $50 Oct. 13 -Brutal Legend- $60 -Uncharted 2: Among Thieves- $60 Oct. 20 -Borderlands - $50 -DJ Hero- $120 -Forza 3 - $60 Oct. 27 -Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time- $60 Nov. 3 -Dragon Age: Origins- $50 Nov. 10 -Modern Warfare 2 - $50 Nov. 17 -Assassin’s Creed II- $60 -Left 4 Dead 2 - $50 Q4 2009 -New Super Mario Bros. Wii- $50

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
Living the dream since March 16, 2006
Which means you're gonna get it for PC. You bastard.
I won't ever buy MW2 , simply because I already poured 100 hours into COD4 and have NO desire to do it again. My time is too important to waste on it.
Then I'll wait till march and get GoW3. My awesome PS2 RPG's are taking up my time at the moment, and will do so for the rest of the year.
Just buy 2 or three and by the time you're finished those, the other may have gone down in price.
Brutal Legend
Scribblenauts and
Assassin's Creed II for me
I mean, do you really want Dead Space: Extraction?
I hear you man. If I had a PC that could run games like that I would... still buy it on PS3! But I don't blame you.
For me it's Brutal Legend, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank and Borderlands day one. Then I have to check my money but I will probably pick up Demon's Souls and Assassins Creed as well.
Yeah... I don't even want to think about the cost... particularly as we often buy two copies of any game where my husband and I both intend to play online together - which means two PS3 copies of Borderlands among others.
My list isn't as long as yours... but does include Borderlands, Dragon Age, Ratchet and Clank, MW2 (2 copies)... and very likely Uncharted 2, Singstar Motown - and then in early 2010 there are also a bunch of games including 2 copies of MAG, and 2 copies of Battlefield.
Yeah, no new music games for me. I have too many plastic instruments in my apartment as is.
-Uncharted 2
-Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time
-WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2010 (PS3)
-maybe Assassin's Creed II (PS3)
-Gears of War 2 GOTY
Man, not much compared to you. I feel your pain. :-( or :-), idk...
The Beatles: RB was my last excursion...I am now broke.
FUCKING SCHOOOOOOOOOOOL
> "A Boy and His Blob"
> ERROR: Phrase not found
No.
Also, what version of MW2 is 50 bucks? PC version is 60...and that's exactly why I refuse to buy it.
Brutal Legend
Dragon Age (Possibly)
Magan Carta II
Borderlands
Fifa 2010
Modern Warfare 2
Left 4 Dead 2 (if other friends get it)
Demon's Souls (if I get a good deal on a PS3 slim)
So yeah, definetely breaking the bank a bit. And Spring 2010 isn't looking any better.
Modern Warfare 2 and Dragon Age are pretty much must buys. If you like deathmatch shooting or RPG talking.
Copypaste is awesome, isn't it silver?
I really need to plan out my video game purchases. Figure out what's more important.
Halo 3 ODST, Uncharted 2 Left 4 Dead 2 (on PC), Borderlands (PC), Forza 3, and quite possibly Modern Warfare 2 are probably safe bets.
Now I need to wait till 14 is released to start saving money again T_T
I am for sure buying:
Uncharted 2, Borderlands, CoD MW 2, Brutal Legends, Dead Space Extraction and Left 4 Dead 2.
Knowing me though there will be many more purchases in between.
I'm good after that.
@Yojimbo: You old men are so easy to please.
@Everyone Else: It appears we are all going to be broke together this Christmas.
Modern Warfare 2
Uncharted 2
and maybe Assassins Creed 2.
2009-09-15 - Wet (PS3)
2009-09-15 - Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 (X360)

2009-12-31 - Lost Planet 2 (X360)
Of that list, the only one's I'll be buying day one are Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed 2. The rest I'll pick up next year... along with:
2010-01-31 - Darksiders (PS3)
2010-03-30 - Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (PS3)

Then lock yourself in your room until 2010.
Seriously, I wish I had that game. I'll just have to wait until it's released.
GAME OF THE YEAR!
(I'm still waiting for Brutal Legend)
Borderlands
Brutal Legends
Everything else I'd wait for a price drop or wait for it used.
No dude, you must get whatever you want. I just hope you will have as many friends playing with you on the PC as I will have on my PS3.
