This is the new games thread

I remember when the new games thread was about something.

(aka something I cared about.)

The reviews for this Dead Space are really, really good. Thank god I started up my Gamefly account again, there's a flurry of new games coming out between now and Christmas that I want to try.

Make sure you ONLY put those games in your queue otherwise you'll end up getting a bunch of lite stuff you only casually put in there to fill it up. One of the bad things about GameFly is that since games cost more than movies, they don't have as many copies. I only just now got Mass Effect after having it in my queue for a while.

Like what? The Wii? That's not our fault.

[isoS]

I know.

I usually only put the game I want in the queueue. I had NBA2k9 on there for about 5 or 6 days, but they finally sent it.

It's still worth it to me, I usually end up renting everything anyways, which is about $9 and you only get to keep it a week.

I want to try the new COD, Gears 2, Fallout 3, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead etc. but there's no way I'd want to buy all of those.

yeah, it's still a great service - and I love the Keep It feature. I really wish NetFlix would adopt that.

Not to keep talking about this, but it is a good feature.

I remember when I wasn't the only person using Wii Fit. Sigh.

Hey! Is anyone getting Fable 2? Talk to me about it if you do.

[isoS]

I just got JellyCar for iPodT/phone. Yet to play it, but it looks dope (apparently it's on 360 as well).

[matt in the east]

nba 2k9!!

the online component is quite glitchy and difficult to navigate through at this point, but i have faith that they'll make some tweaks to it.

nevertheless, the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is super accurate as usual. the physics and player movement animations get better every year.

i'm very happy so far. go get it, nba fans.

Saint's Row 2 is pretty fun.

Look, if you're not happy we can always bring back GTA talk.

JellyCar is FUN!

[AggroCrag]

Is the new FIFA game supposed to be any good? I went back and played an old Fifa demo and had so much fun playing I've been thinking about buying the latest one.

Nice try, Wii boy. No one's bitin'.

I think going to do the unthinkable today and try and transfer my Guitar Hero: World Tour reserve over to Fable 2. The reviews I've read are great so I'm excited about it for sure.

Curse you EA/MTV/Harmonix/Red Octane/Neversoft for splitting up such a great franchise!

I'm kind of on the fence about picking up Far Cry 2 today. I'm leaning towards, eh why not right now. In regards to Fable II, talking about Far Cry 2 makes me feel like the only guy who lined up at a Best Buy at 9 in the morning to buy Mass Effect. Everyone else was waiting for Rock Band.

[Me!]

A buddy of mine pirated Fable II a while ago and says the game is great.

I'll probably buy it soon.

[nathansmart]

I just got it - I'm waiting to get home to play.
