I have feared this day since I first saw my cohorts get sucked into the disease at the various shows we have attended. That disease is Rock Band (PS3, X360). It will suck their souls dry I'm afraid to say ...
As far as the other games go, I don't think I'll be picking any of these up! I have too many games to play through as it is, and the only one I really want is Ghost Squad but there's no way I'm paying for a new copy of that game -- even with the all the half-naked chicks.
What's looking sw33t to you this week, Dtoiders?

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Rock band has already consumed me and it's not even out yet. Last week I went to Guitar Center to get a drum seat and a pair of fancy pants drum sticks that have a rubber coating to keep them from flying out of your hand.
Well of course Rock Band, but that's one my brother and I will be getting for Christmas. FF: Revenant Wings also, but I'm too poor. Same goes for Mass Effect, although I may get that one for my Birthday next month, instead of waiting till Christmas.
My brother isn't getting Rock Band so I can get the game now, he had it pre ordered. Thank God I don't have to wait in line at Wal Mart or drive every where in the Pittsburgh area to find this game.
$20 for links cross bow training is a no brainer for me.
Galaxy wars looks interesting, and with the buy 2 get one free deal at toys r' us might be worth picking up with zach and wiki.
Ah...Rock Band. Were I given a lifetime to sing its praises, even then my simple words would be found lacking in describing its beauty and perfection. I love it so much I could write poetry about it.
Also, Fire Pro Wrestling is okay. It's good for the price, at least, but there's no real "Career" mode to speak of. I think I prefer Federation Booker, oddly enough.
Um, Hamsa, you missed the biggest PS3 exclusive since Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. It’s the little game that could, from the developers of the Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter series of games. Y’know, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. I’ll be picking that up this week, along with Rock Band and Assassin’s Creed (I was waiting for reviews on that one). There will be three main consequences to that:
1. My GPA will tank
2. My bank account will be overdrawn within a month
3. My friends and family will receive no Christmas gifts from me
I know what game you are talking about BrOnXbOmBr21 and I can't wait to...rent it. If I like it then I'll invest money on another PS3 game. I just tried out Kane & Lynch on the PS3 and I didn't care for that game at all.
Mass Effect for me, the first game I've pre-ordered since Oblivion. It's gonna fail now, or there will be a postal strike, or an air strike on the Post Office. These things happen to me.
Why do I love you destructoid? Let me count the ways:
1. I love you for pork chop sandwiches right when I was expecting it
2. I love you for incorporating the pillows when I was least expecting it
3. Rosie o Donnell, but more for the PS3 part.
I keep saying that if Fire Pro Wrestling were to come to XBLA it would sell...instead of releasing a 15 dollar PS2 version thats what they should be focusing on...
BrOnXbOmBr21 and BS3 Owner: Yeah, I forgot about Drakes. I did list it last week stating and then stated it got delayed to this week but it did get released early anyway. Meh.

My life for the Band!!
A lot of other things I want =/, but hardly any money for them.
The drums are so addictive. D:

It’ll all be worth it, though...
You forgot Medal of Honor : Airborne : PS3 Pal!
Failure.
I'm buying it today.
I guess maybe 'cause Drake's Fortune : Uncharted : PS3 got released early. It slipped by him!
Only because my BBCode fails me again!

Will you marry me?
Also, Black College Football just to laugh my ass off at it
Mass Effect all the way, thanks to that TRU gift card
Revenant wings will wait till after the holidays
FFXI expansions always make me want to start playing again
