GRID
Ninja Gaiden II
Soulcalibur IV
Saints Row 2
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
MGS4

[animegirl]

MGS4 (and a PS3 to go along with it)
Tales of Vesperia
Ninja Gaiden 2
Soul Caliber 4

Plus I want to play Super Mario Galaxy and Devil May Cry 4. Why is there no PS3 list?

Why is there no PS3 list?

It's identical to the 360 list only with MGS4 in place of Ninja Gaiden 2.

[Space Pirate Roberts]

Needs DS list. Super Dodgeball Brawlers yo.

Actually, that might be the only thing worth getting.

[kingoffighters]

My short list of buys:

Assault Heroes 2 (maybe)
GRID (maybe)
Ninja Gaiden II
Operation Darkness
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (price drop)
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (depends on TNL impression)

[MarsKitten]

Needs DS list. Super Dodgeball Brawlers yo.

Actually, that might be the only thing worth getting.

TNL dodge ball night?

Metal Gear Solid 4
We Love Golf
Super Dodgeball Brawlers

Looks like a loaded summer to me.

You're right, this does look like a horrible release list for the summer. The only games I am looking forward to, that I'll pick up if I hear positive things are:

Xbox 360:
Lost Planet Extreme Condition: Colonies Edition - Didn't play the original version, but my friend raves about this game. So, I'll pick this up based on his constant praise.

Lego Indiana Jones - I HATED Lego Star Wars, but INDIANA JONES is greater than Star Wars. Yes, I'm buying this on the Indiana Jones license alone

Ninja Gaiden II - I did not like the first Ninja Gaiden, and the previews/art work to this game are giving me a really bad Prince of Persia 2 vibe...but this might end up surprising me.

Alone in the Dark - I liked the DC version that came out a few years back, so this might be fun.

Tales of Vesperia - It says "Tales of..." in the title so I'm assuming this is in the JRPG series that I enjoy. This will be a day one purchase.

Wii:

Wii Fit - Because I'm one of those assholes that buys everything for the Wii.

Castle of Shikigami III - This should be bad ass.

Boom Blox - Because FUCK nothing else is coming out for Wii? What a shitty lineup.

PS3:

Haze - Wow...this is the only PS3 game I'm interested in. Ouch. The PS3 lineup is worse than the Wii's lineup.
