The autumnal onslaught continues, but its efforts to overwhelm us have redoubled this month. Uncharted 2 and Brütal Legend on the same day? What do they think we are? Game-playing machines? (No, not Billy Mitchell. Like, literal game-playing machines.)
The big releases, like the aforementioned titles and Forza 3, are dropping every week, so how badly will your wallet be bruised?

Man I did the math and between now to new years there's 14-17 games that are being released on Xbox360 and PS3 that I want to play. I figure I'm going to do the Powerplay Program at Hollywood Video so I can play through as many as I can.
Since I have a job now that gives me Thanksgiving and Christmas break paid I know I'm going to plow through some games this Holiday season...

I should be closing some deals, so I'll finally be able to purchase the hardward required to play these fine pieces of work.

Man, I'm not getting a new PS3 for a while, I really want DJ hero and Brutal Legend. I'll probably pick up Uncharted as well, I just though the controls in multiplayer were frustrating as hell.

Oh, I completely forgot abou Tekken, I'm definitely picking that up.

Yeah, the grenades are balanced but that doesn't really have anything to do with the controls. Like, for example, sometimes the cover works perfectly and other times I keep pressing circle and just keep doing a roll into the wall, leading to me dying. Pisses me off.

Uncharted 2, Brutal Legend and Wii Sports Resort (Double Motion+ Bundle) for me this month (Hint: Toys r Us will do the B2G1 sale next week).
And for the DS, I'm gonna buy Space Invaders 2...
I also want Ratchet & Clank and Borderlands, but I will pick those games when they hot $30.
Good month.

Joystiq, it would be nice to have an Edit button. There are some blogs and forums that allows you do to Edits only in the next 5 minutes, so that way, you can't edit your comments a lot. Oh, and also, it's been several years, and I think we the readers deserve a better comment system, please, with no failed replies, or with dissapearing comments, etc.
Thanks in advance, Joystiq!

Yeah, the avatar system is a bitch. First I have my awesome Batman symbol avatar, then I get a white square with my username on it, then I get that goddamn Mario avatar. Joystiq really needs to fix this motherfucker.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time, and Demon's Souls at the end of the month.
One thing all of these games have in common.. Only on PlayStation

My roommate has a PS3, so I'll probably just let him pick up all of the PS3 games. He'll probably also get Brutal Legend, but I might still buy it anyway.
I also really hope Borderlands is good. I've suddenly become really interested in buying it.

Forza 3. That's all I got cash for, so that's it. It'll keep me busy for months just like Forza 2 did, so there's no question as to its value.
Uncharted 2 will be the next one to get as soon as I am able.

I haven't bought a game in a long while, but I never miss an opportunity to gorge myself on Ratchet & Clank. Couple that with New Super Mario Bros. next month and I'm in heaven until Mass Effect 2!

You can buy two games next week at Toys r Us, and get a third game for free. Now... you can use one of the games as a placeholder... just don't open it, and exchange it next month to get New Super Mario. Bros Wii !
Check Cheap Ass Gamer for details...
I can't wait for that game... definitely my most wanted game next month.

@Mr. ESC: I just don't have time to play a lot of games anymore, It's pretty much The Beatles Rock Band and other local multiplayer games like ODST Firefight and Smash Bros. on weekends. I think the only games I've purchased this year have been Flower on PS3 and Pokemon Platinum (last year it was Nuts & Bolts, Persona 4, and Prince of Persia), otherwise I play the games my fiancé buys whenever I get some expendable free time -which will definitely include Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend. I probably won't even finish Ratchet & Clank until mid-December :)
@Fernando: Thanks for the heads up on the deal!

Brutal Legend is my must-have for the month. I'd like to pick up Borderlands and A Boy and His Blob too, but I think I'll wait for reviews on those. Then there's a decent assortment of PS3 games I'd like to have (Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, R&C) when I eventually pick up a PS3.
