There's never been so many games in one year that I've wanted to buy. Ever.

True that. Tis a good year to be a gamer(with money...or a mod chip).

Agreed. This combined with the new Half Life releases is making me pretty damn skippy (and sad that each game runs $60).

When these start releasing, I'm gonna sign up for gamefly to save me some $$.

Yeah, this is great. I'm not going to buy all of them the day they release though, because there's bound to be a stretch where simply no new games will hit the market. Given my playtime, I don't even think I could finish them before the next one is out.

Same here. I've really been trying to focus on one game at a time lately and knock out the stack of unbeaten stuff I have. It's slow going when the weekends are usually the only time I find for gaming. I'm still really excited about the 360 lineup in the second half of this year though. I'll definitely be making time for Blue Dragon and Mass Effect.

Yeah, wish some of them were coming out next month and July so they'd be a little more spaced out.

Sean: I'd consider picking up GRAW2 as well. Good single player (if short) and great multiplayer/coop modes.

All I will probably buy is Halo, Mass Effect, and Burnout:Paradise. I really just don't have time for all these games plus WoW or Warhammer or whatever. This is a really exciting year for the 360 though, I am definitely glad I bought it.

I'm actually not really into shooters and the like. I'm pretty much just buying Halo 3 so I'll have one multi-player Live FPS shit to play with people here.

Really, I'm pretty bad at FPS games (ask Requiem) - though that's mostly due to me not ever really playing them. I'm pretty good at anything I put time into.

I did used to have a lot of fun playing sniper in UT CTF games though.

I found the problem with GRAW is with a controller for aiming, you can't aim as quickly, and the real life aspect means you can't take many shots, so if you don't see the little brown guy against the brown wall in a brown city, you get owned. It was really painful.

You're going to get Gears of War though right Sean? I personally hate fps on consoles but GoW was awesome. COOP on that is just epic. WTB more games like that (and don't say R6: Vegas, it's just shit in comparison).

Sean · 05-18-2007, 11:44 AM

Yeah, I'm going to get Gears.

I'm horrible at FPS games on consoles, but that's what I like so much about the GRAW series. For most weapons, they use a fairly large aiming reticle, and it auto-aims at specific targets for you within that area (with multiple targets it selects one based on proximity to center). So it's much more intent-based than twitch. Of course all of the zoom weapons have a very small reticle or nothing at all, allowing you specify an exact spot to shoot at.

I like it just for the coop and vs. modes alone, it offers everything from CTF to objective-based maps to traditional deathmatch modes. And with GRAW2, you can tweak all of the settings such as enemy density, respawn timers, kit limitations etc. Add to that full Clan support (for finding clanmates already in games, clan matchups, picking camo/insignia etc) and it's a great package.

Gears is also a great buy, by far the best pure coop game I've played in a long long time. Whatever you do, don't play a single second of it solo; it's completely designed around and caters to strong support/coop play.

Good choice, it's my game of 2006. The game screams presentation, and it's one of the few examples of a shooter I'd rather play on consoles vs PC.
