Ah, what the heck, I'll bite. Since it's actually about (gasp) games,
for once. I'm also going to cheat, and expand this to some other games
on the horizon that aren't due before January 1st. Especially since
I'm sure that there are others that I'll end up picking up, but that
aren't completely setting off my radar for whatever reason, or that
I'm forgetting to mention offhand.
PS2:
Monster Rancher 4 (I love the Monster Rancher series, and while I was
somewhat disappointed with 3 compared to 2, it looks like they're
doing some interesting things with this one.)
Final Fantasy X-2 (Yeah yeah, I know it's fan service for guys - it's
still a sequel to a kick-ass game, and one that looks like it's going
ot be a lot of fun with the job system, despite the cheesecake
factor.)
Final Fantasy XI (I like the thought of an online game in the Final
Fantasy line, so sue me. Though I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to get
this for PS2 or for PC, really.)
Final Fantasy XII (Just because I'm a Final Fantasy whore. No,
seriously, the series has done me good thus far (and yes, I did enjoy
Final Fantasy VIII thankyouverymuch...), enough so that I'm looking
forward to this even from the announcement, although of course that
could change if it it just sounds like the game is going to suck.)
Star Ocean: Til the End of Time (Okay okay, change that to "SquarEnix
whore." I mean, I was really into the Final Fantasy series, and then
Square had to go and merge with the company that put out my very
favorite game in the world, Star Ocean II. Plus the Dragon Warrior
series, which I got into as a young'un, and which is fun. Okay, I am
now Owned.)
.hack volume 4 (The games are each short, but at this point that's a
blessing at times - I wouldn't want *all* my games to be short, but
it's good for a change now and then, and I like the characters,
gameplay, etc. from this despite the shorter length. And serial
nature.)
Xenosaga volume 2 (Though I'm really not sure about the character
redesigns, after the first one I still must pick this up.)
Gladius (Looks interesting from what I've read on it, although I'm
really not 100% sure if I reserved this version of the game, or the
Gamecube one. I forget! ^^;; Probably the PS2 one, since that's the
system that gets the most of my lovin', if you hadn't noticed from
this list.)
Disgaea (at least, it looks interesting, anyone know when it's
supposed to come out? End of this month?)
I'm also kinda keeping my eyes on Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. It
looks promising, even if it is in 3D.
Gamecube:
Harvest Moon: Wonderful Life (Again I was disappointed with the PS2
offering, although that's in comparison to Back to Nature... Save the
Homeland was still a fun game in its own right, just not nearly as
good as its predecessor. After the stuff I've heard about this
installment though, I'm *SALIVATING* for this game and its GBA
companion)
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (See above. And it sounds neat from
what little I've seen so far.)
Soul Calibur II (I want this version, because, well, we actually get a
non-Chibi Link. Go Link! I'm not usually as into the fighting games,
but Soul Calibur was fun, and I'm looking forward to this one.)
Also kinda keeping my eye on Pikmin II - the first one was fun for a
diversion now and then, and this one might be fun to pick up as well.
Gameboy Advance:
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town (see above)
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (Even though the storyline is a lot
different, how could anyone not want some more FFT lovin'? Okay okay,
and the gameplay looks different as well. And being on a handheld's
gonna be a lot different. But it still looks good.)
Also the whole Secret of Mana remake and so on. Gah, what's going on
with that, anyhow?
Kinda thinking about picking up Boktai as well, but I'm not sure
that'd be on my list of "most anticipated games" if I'm just
considering it, maybe. ;)
X-box:
Well, I don't own an X-Box, so none of these games for me. Although I
AM really looking forward to Fable, and figure I'll pick up an X-Box
then. Until that time, I've got plenty of other stuff to play, anyhow.
I also *know* that I've gotta be forgetting other good games that I'm
looking forward to, but, well, my mind's not what it used to be. ;)
I've Got A Loverly Bunch Of Coconuts
goodness. I guess my interest in the "big" consoles will come around
though. I'm mainly interested in some Star Wars games, since I have a stack
of stuff to catch up on. Here's the stuff I'll get when I come up for air:
Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon for GBA
Star Wars: The Arcade Game for Cube (RSIII bonus disc, next week!)
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike for Cube
Star Wars: Jedi Academy for XBOX
F-Zero for Cube (also next week!)
Space Channel 5 Special Edition for PS2
Crimson Skies High Road to Revenge for XBOX
Midway Arcade Treasures for XBOX
Metal Slug 3 for PS2
Star Trek: Shattered Universe for PS2 (if it's any good)
Still looking forward to Yak's Unity (Cube) and Halo (XBOX) like everyone
else, too. :-)
