Your must-have console games for the rest of 2007?

Just thought I'd start a poll to find out what everybody's most-wanted games are.

Only had ten slots, so I realize there's some big games I had to leave off. If I left off something you're looking forward to, feel free to list it here.

Several highly-anticipated games are coming out next week, like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Blue Dragon, and Warhawk, so I'm leaving those off, too, to make more room for the others.

My only must have console game that is to be released later this year is WWE: Smackdown vs Raw 2008.

Can't think of any others yet.

I already listed mine in your original thread before you decided to redo it into a poll.

Here is mine... again.

Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect
Call of Duty 4
Stranglehold

I would like to get Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Heavenly Sword, but I don't have a PS3.

Not a console game, but I want to get Crysis if my PC will run it.

The only one I know I am definitely buying is Halo 3 (regular version is fine).

All the others (Mass Effect, Trusty Bell, Assassin's Creed) will depend on budget and reviews. I may end up getting only one of them, with Mass Effect being the frontrunner now.

CoD4, Mass Effect, Halo 3, and Half Life 2: Orange Box are all must buys.

If Culdcept Saga comes out this year i will pick it up as well.

I also keep going back and forth on Rock Band.

edit: There will also be several DS games that i'm not remembering. For instance that Vocab game that Ubisoft is doing as well as Fullmetal Alchemist.

GH III (might wait a bit)
Rock Band (day 1 for this one)
super mario galaxy (day 1)

I will buy Super Smash Bros. Brawl but not for awhile, I just don't have enough cash with the other 3 coming out. I might get COD4 when it goes down to $20, I have 0 interest in the others listed.

Well it is probably my second favorite genre of games. I also think multiplayer FPS get a ton of replay and really have legs for me. Most single player games i will just Gamefly.

Now if they would just come out with some games in my favorite genre (card battlers) then i would be set!

Most of the games coming out I'm going to use Gamefly for. I might buy Halo 3 and HL2 Orange Box for multiplayer purposes though.

Now if Burnout was coming out before Xmas, that would be my must buy.

Mario Galaxy - this is sadly not looking that good to me. I'll give it a rental at least.
Smash Bros - meh.

Mass Effect
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Assassin's Creed
Super Mario Galaxy
Halo 3

Probably in that order. I left Metroid Prime 3 off, because in my book, that's as good as here being next week.
