November = Gaming Bliss!

I was just going through some releases for this November and I was shocked to find all the things that we have in store. I'm right now thanking God that I was born in Novemeber, because I don't think I could survive without my birthday.

Just take a look at the insane stuff that starts early in November.

Let's start off on the 7th. Two days before my birthday. We have 3 gigantic titles hitting the 360. Gears of War, Call of Duty 3 and Rainbow Six: Las Vegas. This is not to be out done by the highly anticipated Guitar Hero 2 for the PS2. Even the PSP is getting in on the November 7th action with Metal Slug Anthology and Lumines 2.

On the 13th we'll finally get a sequel to one of the greatest games ever made, Yoshi's Island 2.

Jump ahead to the 17th and we've got the gigantic launch of the PS3 and whatever games end up launching along with it.

Two days following we have another huge launch with the Nintendo Wii and the release of (FINALLY) Twilight Princess.

I'm not even taking into account some of the other big titles hitting in November like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Tony Hawk Project 8, the new Socom, Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, F.E.A.R. for the 360, Smackdown vs RAW 2007, and Final Fantasy III for DS.

Who's ready for the complete insanity that is November 2006?

I'm really depressed that I can't get a 360 until Christmas. That, and the fact that I probably won't be able to get a Wii on launch day, either. I do wanna get Yoshi's Island 2 and Final Fantasy III when they release, though.

Oh boo, I've decided to Christmas-bag the Wii. It's too close not to take advantage of, and I miss that feeling of when I was a kid getting a cool new Nintendo console for Christmas. I'd like to have that fun one more time.

Besides, it'll give me time to enjoy the 360 library some more before I disappear in Wii land and never come up for air until Summer.

I'm sure you'll come up way before then, pal.

Strangely, alot of the games you mentioned don't interest me. I guess I'm kind of an odd gamer. I will probably get Gears of War, and I might check out Yoshi's Island 2(what system is it on?). In November I'm looking forward to the new Sonic the Hedgehog, and isn't Super Mario Galaxy going to be a Wii launch title?(I hope so.)

I should really play a SOCOM game one of these days. They seem very popular. Is it similar to Star Wars Battle Front?(which it is rumored that there will be a new Battle Front game in the future.)

Yoshi's Island 2 is going to be on DS and no, Super Mario Galaxy isn't a Wii launch title. And which Sonic is coming out in November?

What games are you looking forward to?

Sonic for XBox 360 and PS3, according to an ad in XBox magazine. One of the games I was looking forward to was released earlier this month, Lego Star Wars II. Then in 2007, I'm looking forward to Lost Planet, Halo 3, and Super Smash Bros Brawl.

I have been playing the Dead Rising demo. It's awesome! I might buy the game. 99 Nights on XBox 360 might be a future purchase as well.

I'm pretty sure Sonic hasn't had a date announced yet, but as for the rest, I'm looking forward to all of them as well. All of the ones you mentioned are highly anticipated, probably for most of us here.

I was talking about this huge storm that's coming up this holiday season though. There's some really great stuff coming out. I'm not going to buy everything I listed. In fact I'll probably get few to none of the extra ones I listed at the bottom. The ones I listed specifically are the ones I'm really looking forward to.

And yeah, I have LSW2. Great game. I've been playing it non-stop for the past couple days. I also have Dead Rising. Another great 360 game. As for NNN...eeehhhh. Not the best game. You might want to rent it. It gets old pretty fast.

Edit: Sorry, man. I just noticed your question about SOCOM. Yeah. SOCOM does actually play kinda like Battlefront. It's more slow, but it feels the same, the way you move and shoot. Take the controls of Battlefront and mix it with the style of G.R.A.W. and you've basically got SOCOM. I enjoyed the first one in the series, but I never really had any need to play another.

Cool, I really like the Star Wars Battle Front games. Maybe I will try out SOCOM.

Yeah, 99 Nights does seem like it could get old fast. Unlike Dead Rising, seriously, there really is just something that makes me want to spend hours of fun on that game. Have you used the katana on the zombies? I just wish the weapons lasted longer.

Edit: I wanted to add that I will try not to take your topic 'off topic' anymore. It's just one thing leads to another. In a way, it's all related.
