Why do games developers do it eh? As soon as we enter Winter everything seems to come flying at you demanding your money. Just in the next 5 days in America there's NFSU2, MGS3 and Goldeneye all coming out. That's already on top of Phantom Brave, GTA SA, Pro Evo 4 and Madden i'm playing at the moment (along with Footie Manager 2k5 on the PC)

Why can't they filter out the releases throughout the year? surely they'd make more money with releasing their AAA title in the middle of June where there is hardly that much competition instead of the middle of November when there's about 10 games demanding you buy them? Sure it's usually nice and sunny in Summer but you're not outside all the time (well i'm not anyway) there's still time to be playing games.

Stupid games developers and all their good games, looks like college is going to have to take a back seat :-D

Won't be i'll be getting it sent over, contacts are great :-D

Only thing worrying me about it is it's done by EA, until then seeing as the thing isn't even out yet i'll reserve judgement

Games I want this year :

DefJam 2
Rocky Legends
NFSU2
Football Manager 2005
Splinter Cell 3

Theres loads more, but I cant remember them all. I can afford one from that list right now but that means i'll be spending £30 on my Sister, Mum and Dad for Xmas which is a bit tight so I have to wait till Xmas.

I suppose I'm lucky in the fact that I never look at what's coming out. Sure it means that I probably miss a few releases but I eventually catch up. At least I don't have a list of games that I have to worry about getting the money together to buy :)

Mwahahaha!

I have my birthday and christmas coming up, which means muchos denero or just general presents. So soon I'll have SA, Killzone and others, to add to my PES 4, NFSU and Rainbow Six. Aswell as FM2005 which will be burnt for me tomorrow.

However I need a new (3rd) memory card in order to make use oput of any of them.

This means that I will have bought/received more games in the last 40 days than I have in the last 325 put together.

Max Drive is very handy if you have alot of saved games that you dont always play, it lets you store your saves on your computer to free up your PS2 memory card.

I so badly want FM2005 that i've gone back to playing CM4 but I dont want to buy it now, I want to look forward to Xmas this year and not get money.

I hope they dont release an updated version of FM2005 shortly after Xmas like they did with CM4.
