Next we come to the games that I'm interested in and will probably buy.. But not until they turn up cheap somewhere... So many games seem to get released these days and then get heavily discounted within a few weeks.. Not only from the usual interweb suppliers but even on the high street.
So what's on the Radar and which titles do I think will get the discount treatment?
FABLE 2
Never played the first game and I'm not normally an RPG fan either. Molyneux also has a history of over promising. This does look very interesting though and being a more action orientated (as opposed to the JRPG) RPG it certainly looks like one to watch. It'll be between this and..
FALLOUT 3
Another action orientated RPG. Never played any of the prequels or indeed Oblivion either. I guess I'll wait and see which game gets the best review score, See what the forum feedback is and make a judgement on which one I take the plunge with.
DEAD SPACE
The review scores are already in on this one and it seems to be a decent, if uninventive, game. Graphically it looks amazing and I'm looking forward to some survival horror to fill the gap until Resi 5. A definite new year purchase for me when I can find it cheap.
GEARS OF WAR 2
I enjoyed the first game but it was certainly over hyped. For me the multi player didn't have much depth and I soon grew tired of it. However it's not essential as it seems to be more of the same. Again I'll definitely pick it up. It's bound to be a solid amount of fun but there's bound to be a huge number of cheap second hand copies to occupy the quite spring months.
CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR
Another year another CoD, Obviously CoD 4 was brilliant (although in my opinion not the masterpieces the forum boys seem to think). This is the only title on this particular list that could pop into the essential purchase list if it scores highly and the feedback from players is good.. Not really interested in the multi-player... I find online FPS's a bit too hardcore these days.. But the co-op could be a laugh.

What are you going to be putting in Part 3? I guess you haven't mentioned Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero World Tour so it could be your games that you are ignoring post.
For me Fable 2, Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2 are all essential purchases, I even have Fable 2 and Fallout 3 ordered through play. Although having recently gone back to Oblivion on the 360 I decided Fallout 3 would better suit the PC there was far too much load time delay on the 360. I think Fable 2's co-op features would be a bonus for you as far as I know Fallout 3 is single player all the way.
Well as you've probably noticed I'm making an effort to blog more frequently. I've got part 3 already listed.. Will probably post it tomorrow. Sadly RB2 and GHWT won't be making the cut.
Hmm.. I guess I need a friend with Fable 2?
I'm pretty much with you on these titles, Bob, although Fable 2 teeters on the very edge of buy now/later. (Incidentally, I found two copies of the game in the store's games cupboard yesterday. It's priced at £999.99, i.e. not to be sold yet, but my manager said it would okay to take it home and buy it later. I wasn't in much of a hurry so I declined).
I've gone right off 1st person shooters (although I still haven't played CoD 4) so Gears 2 is more interesting to me than CoD:WaW and to a lesser extent Dead Space. I think Mirror's Edge will be the next 1st person game for me to try.
