| These will be in and out within six months. Your typical Best Buy customer that buys computers there wants something cheap and something they've heard of. "Asus? Nah... I'll take the Sony."
And this post mentions a "zero bright dot policy" and a one year warranty. Best Buy employees, as they're instructed, will blindly interpret this as "yeah, the manufacturer's warranty doesn't really cover anything, so buy our service plan." Flag this | Edit this post |

| I have no problem waiting... they delayed Hunters in order to give it online play. I think it's important for Nintendo that Corruption has it as it's their biggest title coming out in the forseeable future where it makes sense to have it. And they need to completely nail the FPS control scheme. This should be the killer game that makes people put this next to keyboard and mouse controls. Because if they're not going to get it perfect for a Metroid game, then that gives little hope for the future. I'm okay with Nintendo throwing around the word "perfect" because they usually deliver big with their major franchises... I have high hopes for this game.
It's a shame that Echoes didn't sell better. As good as Prime was, you'd think most of the people that played that would have bought Echoes too. I sure did... it was every bit as good. The multiplayer seemed unnecessary though. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I'm assuming this list doesn't include handhelds, but I don't like the exclusion of Super Paper Mario, a great looking platformer with RPG elements.
And as others have said, it's pretty bad that Halo 3 is #1 because after the first two games, there's nothing to look forward to. Lots of hype for console gamers that apparently don't know what a good FPS looks like.
I'd have a similar comment about GTA4 since GTA3 was followed by the far too similar VC and SA, but I'm hoping that along with a graphical overhaul they'll have a revamped gameplay experience. I'd consider getting the PC version of GTA4, but not if it's the same stale thing but better looking than the last gen games. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Eh, I'm exactly the opposite. I've about lost all interest in PC multiplayer gaming. It takes way too much of a time commitment to be competitive anymore and I don't care about any game that much. If I just play a multiplayer game every now and then, the best I can hope for is a couple of lucky kills and it's not any fun.
Of the single player games you mentioned, I own and finished Doom 3 (and RoE) and Half-Life 2. Both were long and kept me very entertained until the end. I had enough of Far Cry and Fear after playing the demos. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I'd consider buying maybe 5-6 of those, and along with Sam & Max, that's about all PC gaming has for me in 2007. Better than the nothing I bought in 2006, but still weak compared to what I have to look forward to on the Wii and DS.
If Bioshock delivers and provides a System Shock 2 like experience, that'll be a no-brainer.
I'm waiting to buy all of the Half-Life 2 episodes at the same time.
I've bought all previous UT games, but I'll give the UT 2007 demo a try before getting the full thing. I don't play online hardly at all anymore and I would need to decide if playing through the singler player bots would be worth it.
And then Quake Wars and Crysis are wait and see titles for me. I have a feeling I'll wind up skipping both. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | What in the world does this company gain from spending all of that money for people to play video games? Does "pro gaming" actually generate any significant income? It's not on TV, people aren't flocking into a stadium to watch it, and most people have never heard of "Major League Gaming" including me, a gamer... what gives? Flag this | Edit this post |
