Must Buys
---------------------------
Mass Effect (360)
Heavenly Sword (PS3)
Drake: Untold Fortune (PS3)
GTA IV (probably 360)
Halo 3 (360)
Ratchet and Clank (PS3)
BioShock (PC)
Call of Duty 4 (PC)



Must Buy any other year but won't pick up
-----------------------------------------------
Crysis (PC) + an 8800 Card
Madden 2008 (360)
Rock Band (360)
A Wii, Mario Galaxy, and Wii Fit
Stranglehold (probably PS3 so I can get Hard Boiled)
UT 3 (PS3)
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (360)
Assassin?s Creed (360)
Orange Box (PC)
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (360)
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (360 or PS3)

My wallet will soon incur massive damage. 🙁

YIKES! Adding that up, it will cost me about $800 including the 8800 card. Crysis will have to go to the second list.
 
Asassins Creed
Halo 3
COD4

(all for Xbox360)

I'm not sure yet about Metroid, Bioshock, Mario Galaxy, or GTA4 yet though.
 
Metroid Prime 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Smash Bros. Brawl
Guitar Hero III
Soul Calibur Legends
WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2008
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

(all for Nintendo Wii)

Probably a few more as well. If I finally decide to pickup a 360 or a PS3 the list will probably change.
 
Halo3
Mass Effect (iffy, I normally don't like RPG's, but this is tempting)
COD4
NFS ProStreet
PGR4
Assassins Creed
Metroid
SM Galaxy
 
Lair
Heavenly Sword
Little Big Planet
Ratchet and Clank (maybe)
FF: Tactics

All PS3 except for the last
 
Mass Effect (one of the primary reasons I bought the 360)
GTA 4
COD 4
Assassins Creed

This list expands if I ever find a Wii.
 
I rarely buy a game without first taking into consideration user reviews on the internet, but pending research:

Wii:
It's probably easier to just say "all the 1st party titles"

360:
ROCK BAND!
Guitar Hero 3
GTAIV (already paid for at liongames.com)
Halo 3 (already paid for at liongames.com)
Assassins Creed
Mercenaries 2
Blue Dragon

When I get my PS2 or 3:
A ridiculous amount of PS2 JRPGs that I missed out on last generation
God of War I & II
 
Blue Dragon
Mass Effect
Halo 3
Eternal Sonata
Rock Band
Bioshock
Assassin's Creed
Dynasty Warrior: Gundam
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja

I'll probably be buying Mass Effect for the PC though. This doesn't include Unreal Tournament 3 and Crysis for the PC.

I'm also waiting for Bullet Witch to drop to $30 or below and I'll pick that up. I heard about its bad programming, but I usually enjoy games that are the shoot-everything-up style.

There might be some other games that I'm forgetting, but I probably won't even play any of them anyway. I usually just play WoW and ignore every other game that I buy 😛.

Mass Effect is coming to the PC? I thought it was a 360 exclusive.
 
These are the main games I've got my eye on:

Heavenly Sword (PS3)
Uncharted: Drake's Fotune (PS3)
GTA IV (360)
Halo 3 (360)
Ratchet and Clank (PS3)
Warhawk (PS3)
Hot Shots Golf 5 (PS3)
BioShock (360)
Call of Duty 4 (360)
Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Metroid Prime 3 (Wii)
Assassin?s Creed (360)
Orange Box (360)
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (360)
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (360)
Project Gotham Racing 4 (360)
UT3 (PC)
Crysis (PC)


These are games that I may or may not get depending on my mood and reviews:

Super Smash Bros: Brawl (Wii)
Mass Effect (360)
Blue Dragon (360)
Folklore (PS3)
Lair (PS3)
Lost Odyssey (360)
SOCOM (PS3)
Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (360)
Army of Two (360)
Timeshift (360)
Haze (360)


The RPG-ish games are in the bottom list because I don't play them nearly as much as I did when I was younger. I tend to get bored with them and stop half-way through, but every once in a while the mood will strike me to get one.

As you can see, I do most of my gaming on the consoles. This is for a variety of reasons, but it has a lot to do with the fact that that's where most of my friends game. I usually like to concentrate on one PC multiplayer game at a time... and that next game for me is UT3. Though I actually think the PC version is coming in early 08.

Anyway, I'm going to be f'ing broke!!! That list doesn't even include the XBLA and PSN store games I want buy... nor does it include portables where I know I want games like Phantom Hourglass (DS) and Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)!! My plan is to weed the list down to the games I absolutely can't wait on and buy those. Then I figure reviews might weed out 1 or 2. And the rest I'm going to give out to people as suggestions for Christmas gifts 🙂. What I don't get I'll buy sometime after New Year.... of course, in early 08 I've got games like LittleBigPlanet (PS3) waiting on me.
 
Just picked up Resistance and God Of War, will get God Of War 2 soon, new titles-

CoD4
BioShock
Halo3
UT3
Ratchet and Clank

I'm loath to upgrade my PC, so I don't know when I'll buy Crysis. FarCry was the last time I upgraded hardware for a particular title, so I don't know how long I can hold out. 😉

I believe the PC and PS3 version come out at the same time, but the XBOX 360 version comes out in early 2008.
 
Warhawk
Lair (depending on how it turns out)
Heavenly Sword
LittleBigPlanet
UT3
CoD4
Haze
GT5: Prologue (I heard October release with online as well)
Uncharted
PS Home (not really a game, but oh well)
Blacksite: Area 51 (potentially good, maybe not)
Burnout: Paradise
Assassin's Creed

And for 2008:
Killzone 2
MGS4
The Last Remnant

Now, I'm obviously not going to have that much money to spend on games (some $500+), but those are all games I am really considering buying. Correct me if some of those are '08 releases, but I think most are '07. Pretty solid lineup for PS3, I think.
 
Must buys for me:
Mass Effect
Halo 3
GTA 4
Smash Bros
Rock Band
GH3
Mario Galaxy

Maybes:
CoD4
Metroid 3
Lego Star Wars (didn't play the first 2, so this will be tempting on 360)
PGR4

There will be no summer drought next year as all these games I can't afford to pick up in 2007 should last until next Christmas.

From the 2008 releases, i'm only looking towards:
Killzone 2
MGS 4
inFAMOUS
Halo Wars

i'm sure a couple more will be announced that I want but next Christmas will have to be a little cheaper. 🙂
 
Halo 3 and Assassins Creed. Maybe Orange Box as well... wish I had more time, guess I will just wait till games like bioshock and mass effect hit the bargain bin.
 
ncaa 08
tiger woods 08
mass effect
nba 2k8
gta 4
call of duty 4
assassin's creed
splinter cell: conviction
left 4 dead
 
For Wii:

Mario Strikers Charged (might already be out, I don't know, but I don't have any money right now so I'll by it later)
FIFA 08
The Simpsons game (not sure on title, think it is still in progress)


I'll probably search around for another FPS also but not sure. I liked COD 3 but I had it only 5 days and got through most of it by just playing a few hours a day. And I want multiplayer capabilities so I will have to watch for some other FPS.
