I'm currently awaiting Fable 2.

[Shirogetsu]

I might get Soul Calibur, not sure yet.

Everyone is waiting for Fable 2, TEZ, it's out this year apparently and I do want it, but I'm not all hyped yet, there's not enough info for me to go crazy over.

[The Electron Zone]

I know that. I awaiting GameInformer to release some big cover story for it.

[Roleplay]

when fable 2 comes out i will definatly get it right now im more intrested in upping my stats on my new gamertag on halo 3 and gta iv

[SSJBulma]

They better have expanded on the original Fable.
I want KOTOR 3. I want I want I want and not a MMORPG version either. That sucks for die-hard fans who can't play multiplayers online.
I want Project Origin (F.E.A.R 2) as well.
I want Lego Indy, Batman and whatever else they bring out in Lego.
I want Alan Wake, if they ever get off their asses and complete it.

And I don't know what the fook it is but I want the mysterious Heavy Rain.
I'm a greedy woman I know.

[The Electron Zone]

I want to see what they're doing with the new Elder Scrolls (rumor)

[Deep Thought]

I'm still wondering if it's worth buying an Xbox 360. However, this time I've done a lot more research on the Xbox 360's games. So, I'm going to post these things about my gaming tastes (particularly of Xbox 360 games) first before asking a few questions:

1. I like Mass Effect, a lot. However, there is no way in hell that I'm going to buy a 300$ system for one game.

2. Bioshock is getting a port on the PS3, so don't bother mentioning that.

3. Gears of War looks kind of somewhat interesting, but it's not anything that's making me want to buy a console. It might be a good "side dish" if I buy the console, but I can live without it. Gears of War 2 also looks like the exact same fucking thing as Gears of War, in my opinion.

4. I'm not much of an RPG guy, I like to play RPGs rarely, but it's definately not my favorite genre. So don't bother talking about Fable 2, Lost Oddessy, Blue Drago, etc. For good measure, I'd like to say that I like racing games slightly less than RPGs, and I don't like sports games at all.

As for game genres, I like pretty much every genre except RPGs and sports games. However, I really like shooters and adventure games more thanthe other genres.

With that being said, I have two questions:

- Is Halo 3 worth it? Is is good as the reviewers say it is, or just "great"? Even if it is a good as reviewers say it is, will it, the other Halo games and Mass Effect justify buying a 300$ console plus god knows how much more money for all the other neccesary "add-ons"?

- Any other games that are worth buying for the 360?

Edit: PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST MULTIPLATFORM GAMES UNLESS THE 360 VERSION IS LEAGUES BETTER, BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE A PS3, AND DON'T TURN THIS INTO SOME SORT OF STUPID-ASS CONSOLE WAR, OR YOUR ADVICE WILL BE DISREGARDED.

[The Electron Zone]

I love my PS3 more than my 360. So it not might be worth if you don't want it.

Only purchase Halo 3 if you have friends over frequently. I consider it a party game, kind of like Twister.

Too Human will be pretty bad ass. It's like God of War, but there are RPG-like skill trees mixed into the fray.

As for shooters, Xbox LIVE (although it requires a subscription) will often lead to better gameplay experiences in the long run. It's easier to meet and navigate with friends, but the in-game XMB update for the PS3 is coming up on the 18th of June.

Well, I have my brother, who's constantly here. Or do you mean more than one friend?

I'll look at some trailers of it, then.

I'm kind of confused by what you are saying here. Do you mean that there are a lot of shooters to download on XBL? If so, what are they? Or, do you mean that the online experience of XBL is far better than PSN? For instance, would I have more fun playing Call of Duty 4 or Team Fortress 2 on Xbox 360 than I would on PS3? If so, then how? Is there more people? Is it seamless? Is communication better?

The game would be better served with a few friends. Five players, including yourself, would be enough to fill up one side of a slayer game.

You will have a much better time playing shooters on Xbox LIVE. At the moment, the PlayStation Network is crippled, as there is no way to access your friends list while playing games. Everything is much easier to use, and it is presented in a much more recognizable method.

[The Electron Zone]

Is Prototype for the 360 or PS3 or both?

[Teecee]

Prototype is being released for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

I counted the RPGs I want to snag (Fable 2, Fallout 3, Rise of the Argonauts and Too Human), but I don't know if I want to shell out cash for all four of them.

[Shirogetsu]

Not trying to ignore Deep Thought, but I really can't be bothered saying which is better, I love my 360, and I have a PS3 but never played it [will do once I get MGS4 however] so I can't really say. 360 has some great games though.

Also, I downloaded BF:Bad Company demo, it was alright, it felt like CoD4 but the controls were a little different, I only played single player, so I won't finalize my opinion yet, but so far I'm not sold.
