    The lack of BioShock renders the list obsolete ;)

    Bioshock and Quake Wars. Maybe UT2007 for it's pretty graphics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Devil May Cry 4
    From the list, Super Paper Mario.

    From my mind, Super Paper Mario and God of War 2(maybe).

    Those are just the ones coming out in the next month or so. Also taking into account all i have are a Wii and a PS2 (my PC doesn't count, it's crap).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 497 ✭✭FranchisePlayer


    For me I'd say Resident evil 5,mass effect and halo 3 would be nice:D

    You're seriously running a poll for the best game that no-one could possibly have played yet? Seriously?

    from what i've seen (especially on 1up a few weeks ago), it's more of an interactive book then a game. seems interesting though, but slow (apparently). hopefully they give us European intellectuals the option of scrolling through text a bit faster :p

    Yeah, on their podcasts and such it keeps cropping up as a game to buy. They rave on about it being a great story and incredibly well implemented... the only real negative they could pin was that some of the characters don't articulate themselves very well (NPC's... pshaw)

    I'm not seeing Super Smash Bros Brawl up there. Therefore this poll sucks.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,386 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I've a feeling that Super Mario Galaxy is going to be some thing rather special. Can't wait for it and Metroid Prime 3.

    Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Crysis, Mass Effect...who am I kidding, I'm going to be getting every game that's been mentioned here.

    I'm a gameaholic. I can't live without gameahol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,682 ✭✭✭LookingFor


    I voted 'Other'. It's impossible to say which of these games I will think is best until they're all out, but the game I'm most looking forward to is LittleBigPlanet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,012 ✭✭✭✭Cuddlesworth


    Team fortress 2, Bioshock, Et quake wars, Unreal Tournament 3 and the best Duke Nukem forever!

    Bioshock, Mass Effect, No More Heroes

    There are many more, but those are the ones I'm most interested in right now.

    Is there a particular reason people wait to buy games like Hotel Dusk? Are there any changes planned for Europe? The DS is region free and it would actually be cheaper to buy it now from the US than to wait for a Euro release. Been playing that recently, not too far in yet but it's very cool, very different, like a story/electronic book in the "Take On Me" video's style :)

    On a purely notional point of view...

    Buying all your games from abroad thins out purchase of games from retailers within your country, (this has the added affect of removing money from our economy but that is secondary as the capital involved is quite low) if less and less games are purchased for a console in a paticular region then retailers will stock less games for that system to the point that individuals without access to the internet or the knowledge that games can be purchased from other regions will move to other systems and thin out the player base thus subjecting developers to reduced profit and decreased conviction/reason that they should develop for a platform.

    I realise that this is pie in the sky and only a possibility, but the real solution is multi region simultaneous releases to quell the need to oder from America.

    And until that happens, if a game I really want isn't going to be out here for ages, I'm going to keep importing. Let's take another DS game as an example, Elite Beat Agents. Released in the US in November, I've had it for a while now and it's great (still playing it, trying to S-rank as many as I can on Hard Rock difficulty :) ). UK/Irish release? JULY. Insanity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    It is insanity it really annoys me.

    Unfortunately there is no hard numbers on destinations for online purchases, thus making it look like JAPAN and the USA are buying loads of games and we poor Europeans only grab a few.

    As for me I'm not too concerned about waiting as by the time Zelda appears here, I will still be playing Hotel Dusk. But in reality its a silly tradition that they will eventually stop when some real hard figures appear.

    Thar be rumblings in some quarters that said EBA shall never be lucky enough to see a European release *single tear rolls down eye*.

    PS is it worth importing? Bear in mind I very much enjoy Ouendan, but mainly because it's so uniquely Japanese.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,386 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Can't really tell you since I've yet to get my paws on Ouendan, for shame, but EBA is really excellent.

    Quake Wars and Crysis, will need a new PC lol
