I've got Gears reserved already. Does anyone else plan on picking up any of the new releases next week?

Where is the option for None?

I'm definitely going to get Gears of War eventually. But I just quit my job so I'll have to save my money until I get another job.

Also, CoD 2 GotY Edition has come out at £25, so I'll probably get that before Call of Duty 3.

Corrected.

None of them.

None. I wasn't aware of the fact that CoD3 was out aleady :shocked:

Guitar Hero 2, and I'm adding the option for Elite Beat Agents.

But you aren't buying it?

GH II, but only because Star Trek Legacy has been delayed  :P

Yeah, but I already voted.

Yeah, but you are a moderator, so you can change it.

Yeah, but I thought we could all change our votes, so what happened?

If i had a 360 and money i would so be picking up gears of war.

Maybe CoD3 too...

Hey, Elite Beat Agents and GH II both got 9.5 from IGN. Neat.

Also, the option to change votes has to be enabled. Currently it is not.

Good thing you added that none.
It's got a huge lead.

 :nod:

@PsychoFox, it's interesting to see amoung this community how many will and will not be buying, though, considering these games are big enough to signify the start of the holiday buying season.

I didn't pick any of those up, but I would have loved to have gotten COD 3 for the 360

I ended up ordering the 360 CoD3 (Out on the 10th) from Woolworths for £31.49. It's  £40+ everywhere else, so I thought I may as well go for it.

And Call of Duty 2 GOTYE was sold out on play.com at £25.

I voted for Gears of War, though.

James,

What do you think of CoD3 on the 360? I've spoken to one other buyer of the game, and she said it's excellent!

It was only dispatched today... :-\ But that's fine seeing as I ordered it late on Saturday night.

That's the trouble with online shopping, having to wait for it to come. Still, for a saving of £8-20 from other places, I'm more than happy to wait a few days.

I got it this morning :) but I had to work all day. :(

I was appalled when I saw the opening movie. It's grainy but not in the cinematic sense. It looks no better that an Xbox 1 movie.

However, the actual game has very impressive graphics. There aren't a lot of objects that have jagged edges, like cylinders which are actually hexagonal.

Console FPSes have a "left-a-bit-right-a-bit" problem but this seems to have been overcome by slightly slowing the camera movement when the crosshairs pass an enemy. It's not very noticeable but it's very effective. There's an option to turn it off.

5.1 sound is used well, letting you know where the enemies are shouting from.

There's a new close combat mode. An enemy can swing his gun at you but you grab it and press LT and RT quickly to get them off, then press a button on command to counter attack.

The levels seem open planned at first but they're actually fairly constricted. I suppose there's not much free roaming to do when you're following other soldiers in a warzone.

I've only played the first level and a half but I'm very impressed with it so far. Definitely worth the money.


I got mine mispriced. It was on the Woolworths website for a couple of days as £29.99, completely disappeared from the site yesterday, then came back today at £39.99.

I was surprised to find $60 is only about £32. We've been paying about that much for new games for the whole of the last generation. New 360 games are £40 online and £50 in high street game shops. I haven't paid more than £30 for any of my 360 games, though (not for any games at all, in fact). I look out for bargains and mispricing.


Edit: I stopped playing it this evening because I couldn't work out what to do next because there was nowhere to go. I restarted from the last checkpoint and it turns out it must have been a bug.

I want to get Gears of War and CoD 3. Not sure when I will get them. I want GH II but will wait for the 360 release.
