By next Wednesday I will have taken my last final and be out for the summer. I will probably go buy a box of a MHL, and finish off FF1 and ZOE.
What games are the rest of you looking forward to getting back into?

Well, Im gonna be working, but I have WOW and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. That should keep me occupied. I also hope to get a bigger HD so I can finish off my RTW campaign and keep working on War3 skillz (had to delete those games to put WOW and porn on my comp).
I also plan to sell a lot of my old games to get rid of that pile. And play the ones I have but havent really gotten into (San Andreas, MGS3, Metal Arms). I dont plan on buying anything new this summer because there is so much I already have to keep me occupied for the next year or two, easily.
When I'm not working, I'll be buying the usual console games that arouse my interest, but I also think I'll be playing WoW on the afternoons and nights I won't be going out after work. Maybe to balance out the RPG grind I'll reinstall UT or Half-Life 2.
I'll be working more this summer so I'l actually have less free time; not to mention the woman.
I'll continue to play Halo 2 primarily (stats get reset today and new maps come out in a few weeks) and of what I already own I plan on going through Xenosaga II and Xenogears. No idea what else I might pick up, but Forza is a possibility.
I won't pick up any new games for some time (probably until Burnout 4 comes out). I'll primarily rotate Halo 2 and Chaos Theory on LIVE, with an occasional Street Fighter Anniversary Collection LIVE here and there. I have to get around to finishing Chaos Theory single-player, Phantom Dust, San Andreas, Katamari Damacy, and Outrun 2.
Finish:
Tales of Symphonia
Dark Cloud 2
Start:
XIII
Ico
Baten Kaitos
Wait for:
DoD:S
Zelda
At the rate I play games, that will last me all year.
My last final was yesterday and since then I've been playing TimeSplitters: Future Perfect and going for unlocking all the character skins. So far, I've gotten through most of the Arcade Leagues and Challenges with atleast gold or better. I've still got to go back and play the single-player on Hard. Then I need to hunt down some poor fucker to help me beat it on co-op.
I hate it when games do that by the way, force you into multiplayer for something. I'll never have Mewtwo on my SMB save because of that shit. Not that I'd ever use the little fucker but its the principle, ya know? I'll always know I never got that, and it'll grate at me whenever I think about it.
Anyway, aside from TS:FP, I've got to beat the final boss on Digital Devil Saga and get back to playing Raze's Hell sometime. Then, I can go back and finish beating Disgaea, move on to La Pucelle and Phantom Brave. After that, maybe play ObsCure co-op with a friend just for the hell of it.
Then, of course, theres the shit coming out during the summer. I never thought I'd miss the summer gaming droughts of yesteryear, but nowadays I could actually use the lull to bust this pile o' shame.
As the first day of summer dawns on me and I haven't started my job yet, I'd like to share that I just spend 4 hours playing the shit out of Mischief Makers.
I've been plugging away at GBA games lately... beat FF1, Kingdom Hearts: CoM, Advanced Guardian Heroes, Contra: The Alien Wars EX, and am now playing through Sword of Mana and will then get around to beating FF2.
On the console front, I was playing GTA: San Andreas, but I might just sell it now to get money and buy the Xbox one later on, it's like a month away.
WoW and Halo 2 are big treadmills that keep me from making any progress in my console games. I am sad.
If I pick anything up it'd be either Psychonauts or God of War.
Co-ed softball, bitches.
co-ed because yoshi throws like a girl :p . anyhow, ill still be playing city of heroes and star wars galaxies. maybe finish psychonauts and do another fable run, plus im fnally going to get around to playing the wizard's island mod in morrowind.
I gotta finish Metroid Prime Echoes and Pikmin 2. I also just picked up Advance Guardian Heroes, which I'll be playing while my girlfriend watches Law and Order.
Complete with co-ed showers?Quote:

Keeping it simple, as always: Warcraft III on PC, Chaos Theory on XBox, and some Dawn of War and Halo 2 on the side.
I'd really really like to pick up Forza Motorsport, but I fear it would cut too much into my time on everything else.
I also have the campaigns of Frozen Throne (stupid final Scourge mission), Starcraft, and Brood War lurking over my head.
World of Warcraft, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and Halo 2 every so often. Nothing else.
Source SDK, Halo 2, Third Strike Live, Phantom Dust, IIDX, San Andreas PC, and whatever I may dig up on a whim.
While the summer is no different for me than any other time of the year... I will participate.
KoF'02 | Card Fighters Clash: SNK | Beatmania IIDX | Knights of Honor | Psychonauts | Phantom Dust
I will probably pick up some random games here and there, but those are what are currently on my list.
My whole DC collection needs revisiting, before the next gen of systems comes along and spoils me with their sexy graphics.
Well, I am too old for summer fun (heh), but I'll probably be playing Forza, Coded Arms PSP, Namco Museum PSP, and some stuff
I don't see an end to WoW for a few months. I can't see myself buy any new games any time soon. Probably find out at E3 in what, 2 weeks?
ill be outside most of the time grilling and drinking beer. when im not doing that ill be with the lady. so the precious few moments i may have to play any games would probably go towards Forza. and catching up on my growing Anime collection.

Stop playing, and they'll find you. At least that's how it happened for me.Quote:

As for games, I'll be on WoW and Halo 2, with a spattering of whatever else comes out.
Halo 2 and assorted Fighting Games this summer for me. My home closing is May 31, after which the construction of my new "Zerodash Utopia Gameroom" will commence.
I'll probably start playing MGS 3 that I bought from James a while back(after I even open it).
Yea, I know. Theres a lot of horseshit on that site. Anyway, the good advice on there is to always be confident, keep it cool, and you know, not just be yourself but be like, a totally rad version of yourself. Its not just good advice to get girls, its good advice in life.Quote:

This really is true. I spent a long time at UCLA looking for a girlfriend to no avail. When I went back for my fifth year, determined to just wrap up school and get the hell out, I found mine. It was a blind date, too, oddly enough. I wish I could say I learned a lot about how to get girls from school but I cant, everything that happened dropped in my lap.Quote:

I'll be in Japan the whole summer, so I'll probably just hang around arcades and play Winning Eleven at my friend's apartment.
If we were still on GameGo! you would be revered as a god right now. But man, please dont spend the entire summer in Japan in arcades... there's so much to the country outside of videogames and anime.Quote:

The only thing I've really been sucked into and actually played to completion this past semester other than PSP/GBA stuff, is God of War, which itself isn't very long or difficult, but sex none the less. Portable gaming + CS and Chaos Theory works pretty well, but I'd like to play through some of the big console releases.
Probably continue playing WOW, when not working, or working around the house.
Hopefully, will get to finish DMC3 and RE4 too.
I'm hoping to finish up stuff I have and then get into the stuff I missed entirely. My main goals are to finish GTA: SA and make some kick-ass designs in Forza.
Feh. So much luck and waiting...Quote:

I'll be playing SC:CT, I'd like to get back to playing Phantom Dust, some Street Fighter, and thinking of picking up Forza Motorsport very seriously.
I will be playing Act Of War alot, as it already has me deep in its grasp, Guild Wars, and whatever else I see at blockbuster.
LOL of course not. I went during the winter break, and maybe every other day I dropped by a game center and played a few dollars worth.Quote:

I will be working mainly, like always because I'm not in school. I'll be playing "the put money down every week on Xbox 360, HDD and TES4:Oblivion" game and probably Halo PC =/
Beyond that, I might play some Jenga.
I plan on finishing off No One Lives Forever 2, Onimusha 3 and XIII soon, among other games. Once I'm done with a bunch of stuff I plan on getting Jade Empire and maybe Guild Wars.
Seeing as how I'll have little else to entertain me, I'll be buffing up my StarCraft skills.
Not to mention, Capcom vs. SNK 2 or any other fighting game.
Hell, I might even beat FFIX, finally.
I need to finish Maximo, Soul Reaver, GTA Vice City, and FFTA. I just finished downloading/burning selfboots of my DC imports, so now that I don't have to disc swap, I'll invest some more time in them. God, I'm a lazy fuck. Atelier Iris is due out in three weeks, so that's on my plate as well.
Or, if I don't get into school like I planned, I need to get my shit together and move out. One thing's for sure, fun times are ahead this summer.
I'll probably play Jade Empire and Psychonauts in the summer while I'm not working.
I'll be playing Jade Empire, God of War and Psychonauts (maybe).
Maybe Day of the Tentacle if my buddy gives it to me.
The only games I'll see myself playing are Halo 2 on live and Halo PC. The majority of time will be spent working out, getting healthy, playing guitar and trying to sort out life.
My summer is going to start in 1 hour and 45 minutes so I guess I'll be playing Doom 3, Morrowind, Phantom Dust, Fire Emblem, guitar, and if I can round up four other dorks, Rifts or D&D.
Lots of WoW. I borrowed Brave Fencer Musashi from a friend, so i'll probably play that, too. But not as much as WoW.
Speaking of Gord; does he still write his weblog? That stuff was rich!Quote:

As for the summer, I got a job on the set of the reality tv-show 'Big Brother' up in Finland...
Regarding the Alpha Male book, make her feel your POUUNNNCCEEEEE!
Can I have it when you're done?Quote:

I might also try to cop that Doom 3 and Jade Empire on X-Box.
I think I might have a "retro" summer and play all the 8/16-bit games I never beat. I have a bunch of fan translated SNES Square RPGs that I haven't beat yet. I also want to play some of my Gamecube games I haven't got around to.
The next game I'm getting is Space Invaders Pocket (PSP). Majestic 12 & Akkanvader alone justify the price. Another sure bet is Namco Museum (USA) because of the extra games being added.
Border Down needs a revisit sooner or later, since I'm looking forward to a stage 6C all-clear. The last boss on Giga Wing is about due for a greasing as well- last time, I had the bastard on flashing red before losing.
Further down the road in July are Mushihimesama and Taito Memories Joukan.
Just beat Metal arms. Fun game.
I expect to go on a big Retro kick as well. Been playing a lot of Sonic Mega Collection, and am trying to beat Kid Icarus (this game is not fair).
Just spend ages killing the asps that come from the jars to accumulate enough hearts to buy barrels and bottles. The points you get from killing so many will also make you level-up faster.Quote:

wow, Rifts......now thats a name i havnt heard in a while. used to play that back int he day. tho admittedly i was a whole lot more into the art and the actual story than i was into actually playing the game.Quote:

I plan to pick up Wario Ware: Twisted next week, though. Too bad all the good DS games aren't coming out until Fall. If I had more money I'd pick up a PSP, but oh well.
Pretty much a lot of PS1 games I just want to storm through and finish. There're still a couple that I want to take the time to properly play [Xenogears, Tales of Destiny 2, Valkyrie Profile]. And then there's playing with all of you hooligans on Live.
Slim chance I'll be buying any games this summer. Just don't see it happening with what I have now.
