PGR4, Phantom Hourglass and Quake Wars. Looks like my season of spending is about to begin.

w00t! I'm buying Zelda too! =)

Wait wait wait. starcraft battlechest is coming out on the PC? Jeez, I thought that came out 5 years ago.

I thought so too!

yeah, the list we link to was wrong, it's actually the World of Warcraft Battlechest.

I really wish I hadn't lost my DS.

:(

There's nothing worthy of my money here.....

Aw man, I was hoping that Orange box would magically drop this week too. As fun as Halo is, I can't wait for TFC2.

HOLY SHIT NINJABREAD MAN!

fuck yes!

looks like I'm buying two games this week

I bet Ninjabread Man makes a good profit for the developers despite the fact that it's rubbish.

Yay! Too bad my position as a broke college student will force me to wait until the end of the week when funds will be sufficient to purchase PH

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a quality PC title, does the PC not get love anymore?

It's certainly a PC title first and foremost, and given the kind of gameplay it features I wouldn't want to play it on anything other than M/KB, but don't forget it's also coming to the 360 and PS3 later (I don't remember when though).
But yeah, it's a great multiplayer FPS if you can experience it with good team mates.

What??? October 19th for Phantom Hourglass in the UK!?! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sin and Punishment is enough Wii for the week. EVERYBODY BUY

Hmm, buy an overpriced port of a 10 year old game? Or buy another Zelda Remake.... I'm going with Zelda myself.

And I'm picking that up over another Quake Remake, andother NBA Live 05 remake..AND another Gran Tourismo remake. But Ninja Bread Man... that's looking to be fresh, new and Innovative.

new and exciting? ninjabread is also a remake. looks cool regardless, but remake none the less.

anyhow, how do you price a game? what value, monitarily, do you assign it? most games come pre-priced based on the console, but those numbers are arbitrary. there are complex calculations that go into deciding the price of a game based on the cost to create, the material resources decided by one set of market forces, time/human resources dictated by job market forces, creativity given another arbitrary market to decide the price, and that's just to figure out how much something is worth to make. then you have to figure that nobody is going to the trouble of getting along with a hundred or so people just to break even. somebody with the ferocity to get that together gets paid for that with whatever success he has with getting good people to work on the project. then there's the marketing. that costs money, that makes money, that's the opposite of good, but it is. also, there's the foreign market exchange.

i paid 12 dollars for a game i couldn't obtain for less than 50, it's 10 years old but i remember enjoying games from that long ago, and buying dvds for much more from much longer than that ago, and i've got no problem with recommending this game to basically anybody who likes videogames.

I've waited so frickin' long for Phantom Hourglass, I'm still expecting it to be pushed back again.

Phantom Hourglass for me. So excited.

Zeeeeeldaaaa, the music of my groooooin! The sound of my groooin! I can play it aaaaaall day looooong!

Zeeelllldaaa, is such a happy game!!!! But link realllly Loooooks... Alot like my groin you know!

quake wars and Race 07 all the way.

That's a sweet list.

Project Gotham Racing 4
Crash of the Titans
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe

Hot Pixel!,Holy Sh*t I thought this was vaporware!
Hot PXL FTW!

Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow Hells yeah

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars If I only had a better rig 

never cared for Quake and definitely don't have the rig for it....laptops FTL!!

anyways, PGR4 and Zelda: PH this week...

My laptop can run Enemy Territory on recommended settings. :3

Sign me up for Rock Tour Tycoon.

Not really. Cash in much? How many freakin "Tycoon" games are we gonna have.

Maxis should have trademarked "Tycoon", because all these other tycoon games are trash.

I could've sworn that Phantom Hourglass came out in the 11th..... I guess i've been following the Aussie release instead of the US release.

In other words, I need cash NOW. ;)

Just pgr4 for me this week, and my haloz still going strong :D

nyyrg... PH..

I just paid my rent too :( gotta wait till the 15th for the next paycheck for gamez ;_;

Wow, I had no idea PH was going to be released this week. Kinda snuck up on me. Oh well, long live 2D Zelda!

QUAKE WARS!!!! WOOT!!!!!!!

Z:PH hourglass is nice, played it for a hour. Multiplayer seems fun but haven't tried though.
