I got Xcom and am playing it with joy.
Next I am getting Borderlands 2...
Then I shall get some cheap games that are old but really awesome.
AC3, BO2 for zombies mostly, halo 4, and most excited about hitman absolution for some reason I cannot wait, Mabey because splinter cell convictoin broke my heart and I'm hopeing 47s shiny head will take some of the pain away
HALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 4!!!!!!
Halo 4, baby!!!
Not sure what other games i want to get after AC3 debating whether or not to get halo 4.
i'm going to the Halo 4 midnight release
Halo 4, that is all
Definitely getting Lego: LOTR--unfortunately, the PS3 version has been delayed until Nov. 13, I believe : (
Halo 4 for sure. Was going to get ACIII, but not forking over full price for a game that lacks the same content that owners of another system get for the same price. I'll wait until that content is included.
Gentlemen. . .start your thumbs!
I've already gotten Fifa 13, Madden 13, Forza Horizon, Medal of Honor, tonight I'm getting AC3, AC3 Liberation, NFSMW Vita, and next week Halo 4. Also planning on getting Far Cry 3. What can I say, I'm a hoarder.
I really want to download Okami, but it still isn't on the PS Store. How long does it take to put a game up? Seriously
Can't wait for Halo 4 and Black Ops 2.
These games sound great, but the next must have on for me is Bioshock Infinite.
Halo 4, hands down.
