Not the best month eh? I may grab Merc 2 and Too Human. I'm not entirely sure though.

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.

Well at least I won't be buying anything this month.

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

With school starting this month, I'm glad there is nothing coming out to distract me. I just hope SBCG4AP comes out soon.

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.

No love for Disgaea 3?

Why no Tales of Vesperia mention?
Posted: Aug 4th 2008 11:23AM baby sea tuna said
Oh yeah. When does that come out? I enjoyed the demo a fair bit.

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?

Dungeon Siege was an awesome game. I can't wait to play Space Siege... I just hope it will run on a 7800GS.
GPG hasn't let me down in the past though for underpowered machines so I'm hopeful.

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

I can't believe y'all put all that other crap (except SC4 and NCAA) and didn't put Geometry Wars 2.
GEOMETRY WARS 2!!!!!

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

Yeah, what gives Joystiq?
The best game coming out this month, and you leave it off the fucking list.
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).

None of these for me, either. My "August" game was purchased in July, i just can't have it until later on if I don't want to pay for it (birthday present and all)

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.
Posted: Aug 4th 2008 1:47PM Vcize said
Mercs 2, Too Human, and Madden for me (well, at least I'll try Madden and see if they've fixed it).

If by fixed you mean updated the roster then yes.
