Unreal Championship 22nd November
Mech Assault 22 November
Ghost Recon 6 December
Going to try and pick up all of these sometime this year. May have to get some for christmas. Think I may even scrub off a few games I wanted like Burnout 2 and Timesplitters 2.
Which games are you going to be getting?

It seems places like PCworld and there other companies had it last week. The retail price for MechAssault is only £39.99 instead of the normal £44.99, so in the end it worked out only £1 more. Going to pre-order Unreal from SR so I can get that for the 29th. Then all the other games I want I will leave till christmas as I will be able to get 3-4.
The graphics are excellent with all the buildings e.t.c. being fully destructable. Music is fasted paced with the action. Overall its a good single player so far and all the reviews say that the single player is the weakest part of the game, and that the multi-player is where the fun is had.
Ghost Recon and UC out 29
I am probably only going to get Unreal, Ghost Recon and MechAssault. Whacked is a ok game, but not brilliant. I had fun on one of the games I played but the other matches werent too fun. I think that as its only a 4 player game you dont have the competition like on Moto GP. Last night me and my friend owned Moto GP. We started a game and were 40 points below the leader, and after maybe 6 races or so I was first with 150 or so and my friend was second with nearly 100. That was pretty fun, also talked to a few people and was having a good time :).

Rent it or borrow it, as you dont play the full game online, you play through the demo disc. So a Moto GP save is all that is needed to be able to unlock all the stuff. Trust me as I have seen the demo with and without a proper save. At the start it loads up and a message pops up saying about the full version, and with a save game it doesnt, also it allowed me to play tracks not in the demo version, I was a ghost still as I hadnt got a save with anything unlocked.
So all you need to do Sav is borrow it or rent it, unlock everything for it and then keep the save, and everything will be unlocked.
