Which games will you be getting this Winter season?

honru

Since October is nearly upon us with the Winter buying season not too far for all the big hitters to fall on top of us (this season looking like one of the biggest in years), which games will you be getting? I'll be deciding between the following games on Xbox, Gamecube, and GBA;

Burnout 3: Takedown
Metal Slug 3
Street Fighter: Anniversary Collection
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Halo 2
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Pro Evolution Soccer 4
Guilty Gear X2 Reload
Final Fantasy I and II: Dawn of Souls

Unfortunetly I must keep it light this year due to education, so no Metroid Prime 2 or Viewtiful Joe 2 for the time being...

flogen

Halo 2 and Fable, I'd say...
I'd get GTA:SA if it came out on PC or xbox during the winter, but I doubt that.

flogen

bizmark

Football manager 2005 (pre ordered)
Half life 2 (if it comes out)
Nexus (if it comes out)

Thats all i have planed at the mo

Creamy Goodness

half life 2
GTA:SA only if out on pc
LOTR (that Age of empires type game, not too sure about the name of it)

tman

Metroid Prime 2 and Half-Life 2 are all i have on my buy list at the moment.
would buy san andreas if they'd release it on the pc this year, i'll prolly end up downloading it instead (although i doubt take2 will quite "get" my unorthadox method of protest against their ****ty deal with sony)

Pacifico

What i plan to get:

GTA: San Andreas
Football Manager 2005
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3

And maybe some inpulse purchases.....

honru

No PC version of San Andreas this year; will be available by the end of July 2005. An Xbox version hasn't been announced, but I'd expect the same timecycle that Vice City experienced.

lordsippa

I'll probably be just borrowing a load of pc games i never had a good enough system to play the last few years seein as i'm getting a laptop. It's not the best machine going by a long stretch but it's well better than this ol' desktop so looking forward to it. KOTOR and Morrowind HERE I COME!

Karl Hungus

Mainly just Warhammer 40k: Dawn Of War right now.

But I've been eyeing up a few other games:
Half Life 2
Star Wars Battlefront
Lord of the Rings, the battle for middle earth
Fable (if it comes out on the PC)
Stalker
Bard's Tale
Vampire the Masqueade 2

Hope there's going to be an RPG that can rival Gothic 2 or Morrowind, but I doubt it.
