I am going to be so broke by Christmas. There is so many must own games this fall. I had the hard decision of choosing between F-Zero and SC II. I picked SC II. I will try to buy F-Zero when I have cash.

Here are games that I must buy.

F-Zero GX *
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes*
True Crime: Streets of L.A. *
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike *
Dragon Ball Z Budokai
Viewtiful Joe *
XIII
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Need for Speed Underground
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Yu-Gi-Oh! Falsebound Kingdom (LOL, I've played the card game and it was ok. I might rent it first. Stop laughing!)
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! *

How can I buy all these games? I don't know. But I must have these games. Oh yeah, trying buying all these games while upgrading your computer.

My wish list for the end of the year:

[GCN]
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Soul Calibur II
Skies of Arcadia: Legends
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike
Phantasy Star Online Episodes I & II

That's just what I know that I want to buy without strings attached. Anything beyond that must prove itself to me first.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #6 on:** August 31, 2003, 07:34:02 AM »

Forgot to add Pikmin 2 and Mario Party 5 to my list. Looks like I'm going to have to follow my own advice and drop a few

(off-topic: ty vroenis ^_^. It's nice to see others trying out FMP. If you really enjoy it the 2nd dvd is already out and the 3rd one comes out in a few days.)

vroenis · « **Reply #7 on:** August 31, 2003, 08:25:57 AM »

sure i'll be getting all of those games, if they ever come out in australia.
one adavantage (sort-of) i suppose is that release dates get spread out - easier to manage financially.
(not in australia bill! but i am going to get them as soon as they come out. i think the second one is due in a couple of weeks. i have the entire series on divx but am faithfully purchasing now that it's out in region 4.)

Bishman · « **Reply #8 on:** August 31, 2003, 10:01:43 AM »

I can't beilve that I forgot about Starcraft Ghost! I am only 15, so I guess I'm just going to make good grades and ask my mom.

rpglover · « **Reply #9 on:** August 31, 2003, 10:58:42 AM »

the list of games for me for the rest of the year:

gc: viewtiful joe, soul calibur 2, mario kart dd!!, mgs:ts, rogue squadron 3, i ninja, prince of persia, maybe XIII
ps2: star ocean 3 (hope it comes out this year), castlevania
gba: final fantasy tactics advanced, mario and luigi, fire emblem, sword of mana
pc: half life 2

i guess i have a big list too- hope i have enough money to get all of it (and enough time to play it all)

mattcube · « **Reply #10 on:** August 31, 2003, 01:11:57 PM »

SO VERY HYPED! i was born and bred on adventure/point and click games (ive played the entire space quest series, most kings quest, a few leasuire suit larry games, all monkey island games, both broken sword games, and a few random ones here and there) so yes, the only thing that could top this for me is Monkey Island 5 (damnit, i know its out there

That's pretty funny considering Kirby's Air Ride got a higher score from Famitsu than F-Zero GX did...I really don't mind someone giving their opinion if they've actually played the game before...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #20 on:** September 01, 2003, 07:15:25 AM »

"all on rails"? Huh? It's a racing game, not a shooter!

PIAC: Just to hype you up, Lucas Arts announced Sam & Max: Freelance Police for Spring 2004

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #21 on:** September 01, 2003, 12:08:43 PM »

Games for me?

Kirby Air Ride
MK: DD
Killer 7
Maybe Prince of Persia, if Killer 7 gets low scores.

EGM gave PN 03 a very low score (primarily fours and threes, I think). I'd reconsider it Mario, because though I don't trust EGM at all, it's pretty easy to say what a sucky game is.

Already got F-Zero. It is fun.

mix_max69 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 03, 2003, 11:28:58 PM »

actually i have played it because my father is japanese so we visit japan regulary and i visted a nintendo video game show. its just really average andn rails .get f zero

Mario · « **Reply #23 on:** September 03, 2003, 11:40:05 PM »

Well Hyper gave it 80%, and ive heard good things about it from people. Plus i think it looks really cool. (PN03 that is)

And so what if you've played Kirby and didnt like it, doesnt mean everyone else wont like it. I really like Luigis Mansion, despite some people calling it crap. I still bought it and it turns out that i love it. Oh well.

Slab · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2003, 08:09:11 AM »
