With ico ruining my day by reminding me how poor I'm going to be over the next few months, I thought I would create this thread. ;)

Just curious as to what games people are intending on getting this year for their 360's? Here is my list, in no particular order:

Halo 3
GTA 4
Assassin's Creed
Army of Two
Mass Effect
Bio Shock
And probably some more that I've forgotten about....

It's going to be a long cold winter with not being able to afford the heating bill, but I suppose I can use the 360 as a heater :D

    All dates taken from Game so I cannot take responsibility but a few that I'm interested in.:D

    Call of Duty 4 is down as a Nov-2007 release according to Game.

    Blue Dragon 24-Aug-2007
    Stuntman Ignition 31-Aug-2007
    Medal of Honour Airbourne 31-Aug-2007
    John Woo's Stranglehold 07-Sep-2007
    Clive Barker's Jerico 21-sep-2007
    Brothers in arm: Hells Highway 16-Nov-2007

    and Game are selling Flatout ultimate carnage for £25, but I've got that already but is a fantastic game IMO.

    Same old boring TW 2008 and FIFA 2008. Might give GTA a go and PGR4 as well.

    I might get some cheapo games later, like Bulletwitch, only if its dead cheap though.

    Sensi Soccer (far too many hours lost as a teen to ignore this one)

    Mass Effect (Could be the biggest thing ever..... or biggest disappointment ever...... i hope the first)

    PGR4 (motorbike vs cars..... why has no-one thought of it before???)

    Will keep my eye on
    GTA4 (looks good, but is it all same old GTA with a new lick of paint?)

    Assassins Creed (Not something that has really appealed to me and even less so with some previews saying it isnt that great. But will watch out for it)

    Halo 3 (thought Halo 2 was over rated and too similar to Halo 1 as a single player game and never got into the multiplayer side of things..... but if it scores highly in reviews and offers plenty of fun then i might buy it)

    Bioshock (Wasnt too bothered about this at all, thought it appeared like another FPS in a million, but the more i find out about it the more it is intriguing me and might see what reviews are like and maybe buy it if it is unique from other FPS.)

    Mass Effect and the Orange Box are the ones I'm really after this year, but I'll probably do most of my gaming on Live Arcade as usual.

    Next year I'm looking forward to Civilization and Huxley, and Bladestorm, if it really does amount to a next-gen version of Dynasty Warriors.

    I think I'll get hold of GTA4; haven't brought the last couple as I've felt the quality has slipped considerably, however, this one looks to get back to the 'nitty gritty' again.

    On the 'Arcade' I'm desperate for Space Giraffe to come out; apparently it's just gone into the final approval stage (which usually takes a couple of weeks) - but it shouldn't be too far off now :)

    Might try out some of the other random fare coming soon, but nothing else really takes my fancy at the moment; hopefully I'll be investing some Gamepoints on some HD video content (when it arrives)...

    Does the Orange box also include Half-Life 2 and Episode 1? Never played Episode 1 and I've forgotten most of HL2.

    1) The Orange Box - Portal looks brilliant, and Team Fortress looks like multiplayer mayhem. :)

    2) Alan Wake (is it this year?)

    3) Mass Effect - it does look good. doesn't it!

    4) Army of Two (only if it looks a lot better than the gameplay videos i've seen so far)

    5) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - 360 over PS3 on this one, anyday at the moment.

    The rest of the multi-format games i'll get for PS3 - Assasin's Creed, GTA IV, Fifa 08, and a few others.

    I'm curious, what is the reason for that decision?

    Well, Fifa 07 on the 360 made me decide never to buy a football game on the 360 again - even PES6 is crap - plus the sixaxis/dualshock is more user-friendly for footy games, it is smaller, and quicker to get to the buttons, as well as not having triggers, which are not very good for footy games.

    Plus, there is no lag online, so i'll not have to worry about that.

    online shooters is where the 360 rules, other than that, there isn't a need to buy any other games. In my opinion, of course.
