Luckily I invested all my game money during the drought.

It sure is, dgenerate.

Seeing as I don't own a next-gen console (instead I have a DX10 PC) I might think about Kane and Lynch, if I can fit in in my holiday gaming budget.

Also, November 20 is my birthday. I doesn't really matter, but it's kind of cool.

Call of Duty 4 is the 5th, I think. That'll be the one I'm most interested in (other than RB).

@dgenerate
Rock band's release date is set at Nov 20th as well. I've already bemoaned this fact to a couple friends that rock band, mass effect, and uncharted all come out on the same day. I'll be passing on Kane and Lynch (initially at least) so no big deal with another log on the fire.

Even if i had all the money in the world I wouldn't have time for all three...thats it quiting my job somebody pay me to play videogames all day.

Super Mario Galaxy and Mass Effect will already fill my November budget so no Kane and Lynch for me.

Hahaha Snail I've done such a shitty job of saving up. I couldn't even afford to get Halo 3 on launch.

Oh, well, damn. If Rock Band's coming out that day, I'm gonna have to spend my cash on that, then. Thankfully my birthday's the 23rd so I should get a free game or two out of it, anyway.

Sorry Kane & Lynch.

I cannot give up Rock Band or Mass Effect.
And Uncharted- which unfortunately will have to come later.

CoD4 owns my November. All other games released thereafter will be forced to wait until my bday and xmas in December. Except for Smash Bros., of course. If I don't get 'em then... I wait 'til I get them from GameFly.

Mass Effect will get my money on that day, Kane and Lynch will have to come later

Mass Effect has to be the most awaited 360 games, next to Halo 3 this year (sorry to break it to you Cerbus. I know Mass Effect is my main November purchase. Kane and Lynch looks good but I'll have to see what a demo offers.

Rock Band...nice but I'm in need of proper gaming.

Sorry to break it to you Cowboy but it's not. Like I said it will appeal to a small number of ppl and thats about it.

@Cerbus: Really? Are all of those small number of people posting on this thread? 'Cause twelve people out of thirty posts(not counting people commenting more than once) is not a "small number of people".

In agreement with blehman, here. Bioware's releases tend to garner a lot of attention from the gaming world (PC and console players alike), so I'd be *very* surprised if Mass Effect only appealed to a small section of fans.

Mass Effect, sorry Kane and Lynch.

I'll be buying Mass Effect, along with a Xbox 360 on which to play it. What the hell is a Kane and Lynch?

Kane and Lynch Dead Men is on my list. It looks very much in the vein of Freedom Fighters (a game I still love) but with a gritty crime story of some sort and dual team play. The footage I've seen has convinced me I want it too.

However, Mass Effect is a priority one, we've waited long enough for it.

Kane & Lynch and Rock Band will be the must buy on that day.

I'll give Uncharted a rental, but I have zero interest in Mass Effect.

I like how xbots start calling ppl newbs. Only newbs i see here are all the ppl trying to make a point that have no idea what they are talking about. Since when have RPGs been that popular in the main? RPGs are picked up by select few who like playing genre for 70+ hours.

I really don't know who you are calling an xbot, you are making assumptions from nowhere, cause I own and play all my collection of consoles. In the end I'll own 360, Wii and PS3 (when the price gets reasonable and real).

The last time rpgs got that mainstream boost was when FFVII made an impact back on PS1 in 97, bringing in a lot of new gamers with it (yes, I was a once staunch Nintendo gamer, and I was one of them). Check you gaming history. Since then, I go where the good games are regardless of system, so long as money can provide.

Hey, I don't want this to decend into fanboy crap, cause I hate that and prefer good dicussion not bs name trading (forgive my insult but its on your nametag on each post Cerbus).

But the fact remains, Mass Effect is a big 360 title, like it or not. You don't think so just because its an rpg, you have a lot to learn about Mass Effect. The same way Bioshock brought a lot of people into an fps, when they'd never touched one (even female gamers), its possible Mass Effect may have the ability to do the same thing, despite it being an rpg in its own way. That's all I'm saying. If you dispute my view (you are entitled to your opinion) then back it up with some evidence, that gamers aren't looking forward to Mass Effect. I bet I'll find more positives on the net than negatives in your favour.

Take a look at Bioware's track record for there previous games while you are at it. Their rpgs might not be in the jrpg mold, but are damn cool.

Sorry for insulting you (its a game I don't like to play and only usually use it as a last resort), but I'd be more welcoming if you point had some stronger basis. So, do enlighten me, Cerbus.

People want Kane and Lynch...but people want Mass Effect a hell of a lot more.

Ill probably be getting this before Mass Effect. Ive been looking forward to this for a long time.
