Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Uncharted 2 wasn't really on my radar, but the reviews it's getting are unbelievable.
Demon's Souls is coming soon.
New Super Mario Bros Wii.
I know I'm late to the party, but I also want to get the Fallout 3 GotY edition, as I haven't played it yet.
And Nostalgia for the DS really piques my interest for some reason.

It's sarcastic shit like these that make me wish I had the ability to murder people online. Something about the internet seems to bring out the worst in people. This is just a small example, of course. (A more significant example of this would be my murderous impulses.)

I'm also looking forward to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. :)

Yay!

In no particular order:

Left 4 Dead 2
Borderlands
Uncharted 2
Brutal Legend (even though I dislike Jack Black and don't care much for metal, it's still Tim Schafer).
Mount & Blade: Warband (if it comes out that soon--if not, I'm enjoying Beta)

I'm also strongly considering Demon's Souls.

I wish there was more on the portable front to look forward to, as I'll be traveling quite a bit during this time.

Well I rarely buy new games. Usually 1 or 2 a year and then I'll ask for one for my birthday and one for christmas. I already got Batman for my birthday so I'll probably get forza 3 for xmas. I plan on getting murumasa and mario bros wii at some point.

For what it's worth, I would have said this in a conversation in the real world.

The last new game I think I really got excited about before getting to play it was "Sam and Max: Season One". The game was great, and I was not disappointed, but I generally try to avoid press and wait for good word-of-mouth.

I'm not looking forward to anything right now. Heck, I'm still catching up to 2007 and 2008. 8)

Thank God I only have a PS3. Otherwise, I'd have to pick these titles up as well:

Half-Minute Hero
A Boy And His Blob
Magna Carta 2

There you have it, folks. Christmas just dropped a few months early.

I will assume now that you have never worked retail, although it may be October, it doesn't matter, this would be what many call the start of the holiday season
