Ok so I made an Xmas promise. I would by no new game after Halloween night, and I will only by 1 new game between now and then, RockBand 2 excluded
So I have narrowed my choices, and created this pole to see what all of you would choose.

Lot's of reviews for Dead space and there not that good,after watching all the vids on youtube it looks like doom3 with a 3rd person over the shoulder view. Was looking forward to Farcry2 but gonna hold off awhile to see just how good it runs on PC(don't even want it on 360)This game just might make me want to do a Christmas pc upgrade. Picking up fallout 3 for sure because it will be a game that takes a long time to finish with all the side quests and the game has multiple endings. Lucky you didn't have BIA hells highway on that list cause its not that good(very short sp and mp is a joke) Lots of people are playing a leaked copy of fallout 3 now and they say its great(for modded 360's)there is that many people that have it they might as well release it now seeing as its done and probably in the store stockrooms now. |

Yeah I was fairly disappointed by Fallout 3's leak, considering I have the game pre-ordered and have been very excited about it's release, just sucks 360'ers get it before I do. Out of your list, I would pick Fallout 3, due to the fact that it appears you like your rpgs, and have voiced interest on the forums for various shooters as well. There will be over 100 hours of story for you as well, should be more than enough to get you through the holiday season. Far Cry 2 will probably be great, but Crytek have recently put alot of focus into the 'looks' department which in my book comes last. As a side note Grizz, the new Dunia engine should run considerably better than Cry Engine 2 (Crysis). Dead Space will most likely, like Grizz stated, be a third person Doom 3 with a few cool tricks you can do. I loved Doom 3 and that's actually one of the reasons I've taken interest in Dead Space. This might be a try before you buy'er. My personal pick is Left 4 Dead, a new game from valve, although it won't be released until Nov 20 (pre order maybe?). It is a zombie FPS (which so few exist) that has online co op so that you can play through campaign with up to 3 other friends. Environments are scary and detailed, and with the growing popularity of co-op, this one is bound to be a hit with multiplayer gamers. I'm surprised to see a WoW player without Lich King on their list hehe. |

Lich King is a preorder, just need to pick it up. So it's not subject to the rules

Oh and go for Fallout 3. Fallout has always been a great game. |

Lol yeah I used to work at an EB. They only hold games for 48 hours after release, so if you put money down and don't pick it up, you're SOL. Good thing is you can use EB's pre-order system kinda like a lay away, pick what you want and keep adding money to the pre-order. |

Some stores in the USA have already started selling fallout3 early with there reasoning being if they dont another store will and they lose all the business when the game officially releases and it happens alot,so if they could just start this in Canada i would be a happy camper but here in NewGlasgow were lucky to just get the game on the release date. |

Bethesda removed all the leaked game footage on youtube but i got a looksy at it before and it was pretty impressive,all your questions about fallout 3 can probably be answered on the forums on xboxlive forums. |

Where did you recieve this information? Any game that arrives at a retailer early is "street dated" for a specific release. This 'street dating' system legally binds all retailers to ONLY sell products after a certain date, and any violation of this protection can result in the retailer losing it's contract from that distributor. |

I loved the previous Fallout's and will most likely be getting Fallout 3 and canceling my WoW subscription, including putting off Wrath of the Lich King, for the time being... and that's saying a lot coming from me.

Your mad!! As always (3rd time now), the day I cancel my account is a few days after it's already charged me for the next month. Looks like I'll be playing until November 10th. |
