I may check out the "Civ" games, but this falls line-up is amazing.

Fable 2 will not ship with online co-op. It will become available roughly one week after launch for download.

Sucks for Lionhead because one week after launch Fallout 3 comes out.

So I watched the in game videos of Fallout 3. I'm hugely disappointed. I couldn't see one thing that I loved from the previous games, except for the pip-boy.

If bethesda fucks this up I'll fucking bomb their building. Fallout II is the best game ever and I've played it over 9000 times.

See I never played any other Fallout game, so I wouldn't know if they "fucked" anything up. But from what I have seen, Fallout 3 is game of the year contender.

Seriously. I read on a game website somewhere that it's supposed to be like a combination of Bioshock and Oblivion...which are my two favorite games ever :wub:

Seriously? Both Bioshock and Oblivion are games that require you to overlook major flaws and have a lot of imagination to appreciate them. I really hope Fallout 3 is nothing like them. The worst part of it, for me, is the battle mechanics, the whole FPS/RPG part is ridiculous.

Jeez man you are one critical gamer. Major flaws? Both Oblivion and Bioshock won Game of the Year from a bunch of gaming sites/magazines. I agree that not everyone can enjoy Oblivion, but that's just because it's so huge and overwhelming, not because of any fault in the game...and literally the only complaint I've ever heard about Bioshock is that it's too scary. And I liked that.

Half Life 2! Head crabs! Headshots! Light reflections! Water effects!

Wal-Mart has already started to get copies of Gears of War 2.

I love Bioshock. Never got to really play Oblivion, but from what I did play and what I have heard it is awesome. My hopes for Fallout 3 are very high.

Oh man, you really need to get Oblivion. It's absolutely stunning.

HL2: I hate hate hate the part I'm on, where you go through the church grounds with the mad Priest. Lines of zombies, bang bang bang. And why can't I pick them up with the gravity gun?

Pick what up with the gravity gun? The zombies? I'm going to try and not spoil the story, but your gravity gun can only pick up organic matter later on in the story.

Bring some saw blades, that part is so fucking awesome when you slice through ten zombies at once with one saw blade. Or throw bricks at them ;)

Yeah, I was in there last week. And at the cash register was a box that was slightly opened. While I was waiting for the lady in front of me I looked in the box and sure enough it was full of Gears of War 2. The guy saw me looking at it and closed the box.

Still CoD4, here. Only need the golden AK now, plus the odd leveled challenge - mainly the ones for the various game types.

I just defected from Nintendo to Microsoft. Traded in my Wii and 7 games for a 360 with 1 game (Rainbow six vegas 2).

It feels so good to see grisly bloodstains on my TV again.
