The future looks great
 

For those not in the know here are some great games coming out in the next few weeks for PS3 and 360 (I didn't list the Wii since I don't own it).

PS3
Assassins Creed
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Need for Speed ProStreet
Rock Band
TimeShift
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Oblivion: Shivering Isles expansion
Haze
The Golden Compass

360
Assassins Creed
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
BlackSite: Area 51
Need for Speed ProStreet
Mass Effect
Rock Band
Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess
The Golden Compass

For the first time since I've owned both systems I'm excited for some games. For me, my for sure buying purchases are going to be as follows:

PS3
Assassins Creed
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Oblivion: Shivering Isles expansion
Haze

360
Mass Effect
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
Maybe COD4, but I'm not sold since I'm playing so much Halo.
Maybe pick up FF XI, but I'll need to find out more before I get sucked into that one.

IMO both systems are going to have a killer holiday season. Some of these titles look absolutely amazing and the big cross platform games are looking good on both systems. This is what I've been waiting for.

I agree, looks good. Let's see how long it takes Dire to get in here and start bashing the PS3 releases.

I hope he does because I think there are some great games coming out for the Wii too, I just don't know (/care) because I don't own one. But yeah, these games look so sick for both systems. I am so excited for x-mas.

I just looked at Timeshift and the multiplayer could be VERY unique. Time bombs where there are areas that slow or stop time. Throw it in front of bullets to stop them and move out of the way, or stop an enemy shoot a clip into them and move on. Looks pretty sweet.

I've played the demo for the PS3 of Timeshift. It was pretty cool. I really like the concept and the execution was pretty good too. My biggest knock on it may be the graphics. They weren't as good as I thought they could be. Then again it was only a demo and things could have changed for the release. Graphics aren't everything, especially when you more than make up with killer game play (which the time bending is). I'm really sure I'll rent this one soon.

Haha funny I thought the exact same thing [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

But yea, it's a great time to be a gamer, I'm actually happy GTA 4 isn't coming out for a while because if it dropped this holiday season my head might explode.

Ace: Since I don't own both consoles, I'm curious as to what makes the basis for your decision to buy Kane and Lynch on 360 and Assasin's Creed on PS3? Was it just to balance your list?

Do you usually wait for the reviews of the game on both system and pick the one that gets the better scores or has the better features if any are mentioned in the reviews?

Wish I could afford the money and the time to have that problem [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Actually there is no reason except that the reviews I read for AC said the two systems were nearly identical. They built both from the ground up, so they are both optimized correctly. I have not heard the same for K&L and that is the main reason why I chose it that way. Also, my PS3 is going in my room when I move and my 360 is going in my living room, so I need some good games on my PS3 so I don't have to take up the bigscreen.

Awesome!! Looks like a good holiday season for games. I would get those first three titles so fast if I had one of these.

Re: The future looks great
 

Why in the world did the op list the Golden Compass games? I'm sure the movie will kick ass, but movie games usually always suck. Then again the latest Harry Potter game was pretty good.

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know it was a movie until yesterday. But the rest look great...
