The Golden Compass

360

BlackSite: Area 51

For the first time since I've owned both systems I'm excited for some games. For me, my for sure buying purchases are going to be as follows:

PS3
Assassins Creed
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Oblivion: Shivering Isles expansion
Haze

360
Mass Effect
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
Maybe COD4, but I'm not sold since I'm playing so much Halo.
Maybe pick up FF XI, but I'll need to find out more before I get sucked into that one.

IMO both systems are going to have a killer holiday season. Some of these titles look absolutely amazing and the big cross platform games are looking good on both systems. This is what I've been waiting for.

I agree, looks good. Let's see how long it takes Dire to get in here and start bashing the PS3 releases.

I hope he does because I think there are some great games coming out for the Wii too, I just don't know (/care) because I don't own one. But yeah, these games look so sick for both systems. I am so excited for x-mas.

I just looked at Timeshift and the multiplayer could be VERY unique. Time bombs where there are areas that slow or stop time. Throw it in front of bullets to stop them and move out of the way, or stop an enemy shoot a clip into them and move on. Looks pretty sweet.

If you're gonna go there...

I've played the demo for the PS3 of Timeshift. It was pretty cool. I really like the concept and the execution was pretty good too. My biggest knock on it may be the graphics. They weren't as good as I thought they could be. Then again it was only a demo and things could have changed for the release. Graphics aren't everything, especially when you more than make up with killer game play (which the time bending is). I'm really sure I'll rent this one soon.

that hurts..... i am forced to respond by saying where the frak were you during the 4th quarter on sunday?

Haha funny I thought the exact same thing

But yea, it's a great time to be a gamer, I'm actually happy GTA 4 isn't coming out for a while because if it dropped this holiday season my head might explode.

he man, we lost to Cleveland!

Ace: Since I don't own both consoles, I'm curious as to what makes the basis for your decision to buy Kane and Lynch on 360 and Assasin's Creed on PS3? Was it just to balance your list?

Do you usually wait for the reviews of the game on both system and pick the one that gets the better scores or has the better features if any are mentioned in the reviews?

Wish I could afford the money and the time to have that problem

Actually there is no reason except that the reviews I read for AC said the two systems were nearly identical. They built both from the ground up, so they are both optimized correctly. I have not heard the same for K&L and that is the main reason why I chose it that way. Also, my PS3 is going in my room when I move and my 360 is going in my living room, so I need some good games on my PS3 so I don't have to take up the bigscreen.

November Wii Releases:

Super Mario Galaxy
Metal of Honor Heroes 2
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
Ghost Squad
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics
Geometry Wars
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Trauma Center: New Blood
Lara Croft Tomb Raider
Link's Crossbow Training
Soul Caliber Legends
Need for Speed ProStreet

Awesome!! Looks like a good holiday season for games. I would get those first three titles so fast if I had one of these.

Why in the world did the op list the Golden Compass games? I'm sure the movie will kick ass, but movie games usually always suck. Then again the latest Harry Potter game was pretty good.

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know it was a movie until yesterday. But the rest look great...
