I haven't bought a game since Zelda and so naturally It was about time I didn't rely on the "once in a blue moon" GAD attempt and actually buy a game or two...

I ended up with 4.

For £50 Dringo of the SR forums bought:

Bomberman Generations
James Bond: Nightfire
Medal of Honor: Frontline
And...
Skies of Arcadia: Legends.

Not bad huh?

I'm not bothering with multiformat games unless they are very special (ala Freedom Fighters).

F Zero GX I'm not too convinced about yet as I'm not a fan of Wipeout games.

Mario Kart and possibly Rogue Leader 3 but the rest I won't be getting. XIII I will keep my eye on but will get the Xbox version if any.

I am just gutted that Metal Gear looks like its been set back to April next year. That is a massive loss if it is.

Yeah that didn't actually make much sense either did it.

Anyway well I've got these 4 games to keep me occupied till the 24th when Viewtiful Joe is released... which keeps me entertained for 7 days till the release of Worms 3D and F Zero GX... which will keep me happy for another week till Simpsons Hit and Run, billy hatcher and Star Wars 3 decides to say hi, and then a week later they'll be Mario Kart, XIII and Tony Hawks underground... which will have to stretch 14 days till 1080, the hobbit and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun... you get the picture.

I thought you had it?

Anyway, with 3 consoles to support this Christmas I can't see me shelling out for MOH:RS. Got a network card for my PC and setup ICS so LIVE is only days away from me. That will keep me entertained for an infinite amount of time.

I'm sure it will :P

I loved MOH: F and I'm glad I'm going to actually get it.

Yes they do but not that worse. I like the MOH series and I am hoping that Rising Sun will correct all that.

Granted the rest paled in comparison to the first.

But then again many games get gradually worse (Conker aside) but I still loved what i played of it.

Yeah that's why I got Bomberman... I'm a big multiplayer as well as single player fiend.

As for Medal of Honor well I've played that and I think it's incredible so I doubt I've wasted my money there... haven't played it yet.

And I haven't played Nightfire yet either... I don't actually mind EA's attempts at Bond games and I am a big fan of the team behind Nightfire... thought I'd give it a shot.
