The Xbox 360 Chrismas Games List of Insanity

Just from the list of games due out after today, there are at least 7 I definitely want (barring any disasters with final reviews), and at least 4 others that seem pretty damn good.

Anyone want to buy a kidney?

atpbx · 27 Oct 2007 at 13:31

I can find 2 i will be buying, and one i might do depending on how good it is.

That's my list. I have a friend who works at Eidos keeps pimping Kane and Lynch, but I fear it might get dumped in favour of those two. On the other hand reviews for any of those three might mean I don't pick them up.

Im the opposite, I will pick up Kane and Lynch over those 2 simply because its the more straight forward game. All 3 are great games, but Im not going to pick up Mass Effect first because that will be the one that takes up more of my time.

I'm pretty sure Lost Odyssey has been delayed to 2008.
There's so many on that list I want to play, it's scary

NokkonWud · 27 Oct 2007 at 14:58

Yeah, I could name 10 games on that list I want to buy.

Not even that, I'm unconvinced by Assasins creed and Mass effect is leaving me cold, even though it might well be a great RPG, I just cant be doing with them.

No for me its COD 4, Guitar hero 3 and possibly Kane and Lynch.

Mabye I lied, Time shift looks pretty.

NokkonWud · 27 Oct 2007 at 16:27

I felt that way about Assassins Creed, but I felt the same way about the new Prince of Persia games too, so I have faith.

TimeShift looks pretty, but I don't see much in the gameplay to interest me. I'll rent it I think.

jesta · 27 Oct 2007 at 16:52

The games I want are:Naruto,NFS

ro Street,Virtua Fighter,COD4 and Assasins Creed.I won't be able to afford that so probs end up having Naruto and Pro Street.

Lateralus68 · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:26

COD4, Assassins Creed, Mass Effect on release plus Guitar Hero III for christmas I think

Ah you see I'm a fan of Bioware and LOVE their RPGs. Of course I'm going to see what the reviews say, but it looks tasty so far. Only downer is I'm sceptical about the romances as Bioware have not been great at them.

Yup it looks to be 2007 in Japan, but not here. I've update the list again but that still leaves far to many games for me to buy!

gota get COD4. Then have need for speed pro street incase i get killed too much i CoD4

Abooie · 28 Oct 2007 at 06:23

1. Mass Effect ~ Got my Vangelis ~ The Blade Runner Soundtrack in the car to get me ready.
2. Assassins Creed ~ Got Marillion "The Assassin" all ready (honest)
3. COD4 ~ As a COD2 and COD3 Veteran (check my gamer tag) I think I'm ready for another one.

And I'll rent: Kane & Lynch (I just hope it's as good as it could be), Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (old M&M fan), Viva Pinata Party Animals, Beowulf, BlackSite and BLADESTORM.

Also, are you sure Splinter Cell is out this year? Damn that's another purchase. I'm not a huge fan of the series but this one really excites me and I like where they're taking it.

And my wife and daughter are getting Dancing Stage Universe so if you see it on my profile at xmas it's not me ... honest ... kinda....

I refuse to buy another NFS until they get rid of the embarrassing street storylines and the cheating AI.

Totally agree

I exactly the same. Although I'm most looking forward to Assassins Creed and Call of Duty 4, I believe Mass Effect and GH3 will have to wait, although I think GH3 will be my last purchase. Still a bit sceptical about the fighting. Although I looked at it at another angle. That being, there not all going to attack you, as the risk of hitting the other person with a long sword is very high

SiD the Turtle · 28 Oct 2007 at 11:47

Mass Effect will be getting the majority of my play time I think. I fear I'll blast through Assassin's Creed and only pick it up again to grab any outstanding achievements, purely because there isn't enough time in the day for all of these games!

wannabedamned · 28 Oct 2007 at 11:58

Fate it would seem wants me to be able to afford all I want. It gave me a national Lottery win last night, Only 4 numbers, But that's a free game if you ask me

It also increased my Credit Card limit Friday morning too. Which I'm trying very hard to ignore
