YEssir!  Should be a doozy.  Those games are great.

YOU can't wait for ED V?

I CAN'T WAIT FOR PORTAL 2!!

My Wishlist of Upcoming Games

Brink (5.17.2011) - Borderlands+Team Fortress 2+Mirror's Edge+Battlefield Bad Company 2+Call of Duty=Brink? Regardless this game seems to be taking quite a few cues from other FPSs and really refining them. Shaping up to seem like a lot of fun to be had...

Rage (9.13.2011)- id Software's next title looks like a doozy. I'm glad they're taking steps not to have another Doom 3 on their hands. Plus, like so many great things before it (myself included), it comes out Sept 13th!

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (11.11.2011) - Yeah, I'm looking forward to it as well...I just hope that there's actual support for the consoles this time around because the bugs in the last one made me play it a lot less than I'd have liked (though I think Fallout 3 was better on that point)...and that the leveling system isn't too terribly broken. New trailer, wh00t!

Batman: Arkham City (Q3 2011) - It's a big step up from taking a bunch of his rogues gallery and putting them in a familiar setting like Arkham Asylum with a nice Metroid engine surrounding everything. Now they've moved on to the city of Arkham (wait, Arkham's a city now? I thought it was just Gotham's nuthouse?) and promised some Batmobile action as well. Can they keep up the same quality in their next game? Nintendo certainly shit the bed with their own take on the Metroid formula so it's always good to see SOMEONE get it right. It's also supposedly Mark Hamill's final role as Joker...

BioShock Infinite (TBA 2012) - I never played the 2nd BioShock (I heard too much about it being escort mission centric ala the final mission in BioShock and just plain never wanted any of that...why do escort missions even exist anymore?), but the first is a masterpiece & Infinite looks just as, if not moreso, amazing...2012 is too far away...V_V

But first I've gotta get a copy of Mass Effect 2 already! >_<

999: ordered! My DS needs more attention...

I am in love with this grinding social browser game, Echo Bazaar: http://www.fallenlondon.com.

(Yes, it's a social game, but it's damn intelligent, and polite about it.)

It is text-based and marvelously written, and feeds my immense nerdy love of Neo-Victoriana.

I got myself a copy of Radiant Historia , its quite a nice game , a sorta mix between Chrono Cross and Sands of Destruction (only with less party members than Cross).

Storys been a bit complicated so far , but I like the battle system because its so simple , I got really far through it last night , then I died against a crazy boss....and realized I never saved ! 

So time to do it all again 

[utunnels]

and realized I never saved ! 

Congratulations.
Be sure to find the save point/menu next time.

Day of Lavos in 3D anybody? I could see a port of Chrono Trigger to the 3DS. It makes sense now that Yoshi's Island isn't on the Virtual Console.

I'm not buying a third port. Even if it is in 3D. Maybe a Cross port, but not Trigger.

Hold up, what if Break/Brake were to be on the 3DS?!

[Acacia Sgt]

Not sure they'd port Trigger for 3DS due to recently porting it to DS. Could they get away with it...?

*FFIV and TaY*

... I guess perhaps...

Maybe if they throw in FFVI & Star Ocean for a nice 16-Bit Best of Square & Enix (I figure the DQs will make their way onto the 3DS on their own time) 3D remake pack? lol

[ZealKnight]

if it's Brake anyone is buying it. FACT! But not Trigger. Trigger is done for a while, UNLESS it's completely and truly remade, not just ported again!

[Mr Bekkler]

I'd buy it again on the condition that it looked like DQ8 and was 3D without the need for glasses, hell yeah. But that's the only reason I'd ever buy it again. Or if my DS copy broke somehow. But then I'd just replace it with a used copy that wasn't broken. I'm just saying I agree.
