Dead Rising might get bumped up to a must buy for me if I hear that the save system isn't a giant pile of ass this time.

An entirely new story in an entirely different setting.

The poll said to pick 5, so here are mine:

1. Fallout: New Vegas
2. Fable III
3. Epic Mickey
4. Little Big Planet 2
5. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2

There are several others that I'll no doubt end up playing.

It's an entirely new story. It's set in the Vegas area while the original was set in the D.C. area.

It's still Fallout 3 structure and tech though, so it's like a massive side story.

Fallout New Vegas was the one I'm looking forward to the most. However, I will be buying some games during the annual TRU sale. TD2 I'm looking at you.

Buy 2 games get 1 free. It's typically in October and it's become somewhat of a tradition in my household.

Re: What are your must-have games for the rest of 2010?

Fallout: New Vegas
CoD: Black Ops
Medal of Honor
either NBA Elite or NBA2K11, which ever gets the better reviews

Will likely rent Dead Rising 2 and Force Unleashed 2

I would also include Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but I own the first 2 games and I've barely played either (no, I don't know why either)

Rock Band 3 question (too lazy to check). Are all of you getting the real guitar that you can play the game with, or just the disc itself? How expensive is the guitar?

Well, after finding out this morning that Matthew Perry is a voice in Fallout: New Vegas, that has now become a "must purchase".

Could there be a more-useless addition to the Fallout universe?

Between Fallout, Civ V, and DC Universe Online, I think I'll be good for months and months.


And I'm hoping Spider Man Shattered Dimensions even approaches Batman AA and keeps me entertained until those...

Rock Band and Halo. I'll probably get a few others once I finally play their predecessors.

"I played this video game so often that I injured my hand so severely that I had to go to a hand doctor and get injections in my hand because I love this video game so much," Perry told Ellen at the time. "The game is called Fallout 3. I'm not affiliated with this game at all, I just love it. But I signed it, so it looks like I created it."

Apparently, that act earned him the good graces of Bethesda and Obsidian, leading to his eventual casting as Rat Pack-esque character Benny. With his name now cemented in the game's credits, he'll able to give away signed copies of New Vegas ... and actually have it mean something.
Could that be anymore awesome?

Halo: Reach and Metroid: Other M are both day one purchases. I'll probably also get New Vegas release day, but I have some serious reservations about it due to Obsidian.

I'm interested in this title but I will wait until the reviews come out. Hoping for the best and looking for something similar to Batman AA which I enjoyed tremendously. Another Comic Book Superhero title worth playing.
