Same here, probably wait for Madden to go down.

I'll consider Mercenaries 2 if they can convince me that they've fixed the framerate and made it so that I won't get bored halfway through like I've done with, well...every Pandemic game I've played so far.
I will be picking up Too Human, however. I seem to be in the 30% that really enjoyed the demo.

I tried the demo over the weekend, once you get the combat down its pretty damn awesome. Sadly I see another $60 gone :(

I had fun with the Too Human demo surprisingly enough but the over simplified combat still makes me feel like there's no challenge... :(

As opposed to just tapping a button? When it comes down to it, gaming is incredibly repetitive in all aspects physical.

The only game I'm really excited for is Harvest Moon.

Harvest Moon, Madden, Tiger Woods. I'm going to be broke by the end of this month, and thats without Bangai-O Spirits.

Absolute shit this month except for Mercs 2. The Too Human demo sucked but I know I'll end up renting it.
Also....it's really eerie how realistic EA has Tiger's face down in those golf games.

Agreed, I'm really interested in Tales more than anything else this month.

That's what I was wondering, too. Tales of Vesperia comes out Aug. 18th and I for one can't wait.

Agree'd!
Where's the love for Tales of Vesperia? I played the demo last week and absolutely loved it. There wasn't a change in the release date was there?

Yea I totally forgot about this game. Gameplay looks pretty fun, I'll have to keep my eye on it.

Mercs 2, maybe Too Human and the DS releases look pretty good. The others... ehh, not so much.

Yeah, what gives Joystiq?

Oh, wait, I forgot - Joystiq no likey PC

Meh... STALKER was highly overrated IMO. It's a mediocre FPS crossed with a mediocre RPG and was buggy mess at launch. I really tried to like it due to all the praise it was getting, but I was horribly disappointed.
But, yeah, Clear Sky should have been on the list.

Its great to see 2 months go by with barely any games to buy. Then in November, 5 games I want come out on the same day.

The lack of Bangai-O Spirits love is astounding.

Nothing good this month either, I haven't bought any games this summer, and it's not that I can't afford them or anything, there just hasn't been anything good for the systems I own (PC and Wii).

I cannot wait for Mercs 2. I wish there was more hype around it, but trust me, Mercs 1 was a underrated gem of the last gen.

If by fixed you mean updated the roster then yes.
