Here's what I'm getting over the next few months:

COD MW2 - 'nuff said
Assassins Creed II - Loved the gameplay and visuals from the first. Hoping ubi fixed the repetition and achievements.
MAG - Massive online FPS
BF:BC 2 - Best of the bunch IMO, just hope for a better party system
Heavy Rain - just looks cool
GOW 3 - GOW + PS3 = win
Bioshock2 - eh, why not
modnation racers - map editor + mario kart = win

midnight club la is pretty damned good. great driving engine and graphics and the best vinyl creator ever, i have made a pac man car,james bond car, MEH car, cop bike and my orignial The General Lee.

I can update this list a bit now:

COD MW2 - Been there, done that. Most maps were not to my liking, and the noobtube/knife freaks have made me move on.
AC II - Played and beat, one of the easier Platinum trophy's. Great game, highly recommend
MAG - played the beta, not impressed. Not buying
BF:BC2 - played in the beta, liked it alot. One map gets boring though, and the graphics need polished in the final release.
Heavy Rain - not so sure about this one...sounds like mostly Quicktime movies with a little gameplay thrown in
GOW3 - Still looking forward to this
Bioshock2 - probably still get this one
modnation racers - heard some mixed reaction from the beta players regarding the physics...not sure on this one.

Recently bought a bunch of games off Ebay...a few comments on those below:

NCAA Football 10 - not played yet
NHL 2010 - played a little,  liking this alot
Infamous - another fun game
Dragon Age - freaking awesome game. over 70hrs of gameplay
Bladestorm: 100 year war - underrated game. Like Dynasty Warriors but medievil
Lair - Always wondered about this and got it very cheap. My youngest really likes flying the dragons
Dirt 2 - fun game
Monopoly - additively fun game for the whole family
Operation Flashpoint - not as fun as I hoped. Controls are clunky, but its very tactical. Will play some more
Tekken 6 - not played yet

I got it for $38, and its worth every penny. I got the DLC also after seeing how great a game it is. I'm considering getting Demon Soul also if I can get a decent deal.

The storyline is different at the beginning and end based on your choices.

The content is questionable for 11 yr old, as there is some partial demon nudity and there are several trophies based on bedding another character. However its not required to experience either to complete the game.

Each area you go to has its own look, so you don't feel like you are repeating the same thing. Tasks are repetitive in the sense that you go somewhere and kill a bunch of enemies, but no more than any other game. The boss battles can be quite difficult.

It's much more an RPG then Oblivion, and the storyline is its strong point IMO. Very deep character development and you feel invested in the story. For example, I choose to kill someone because of the betrayal I felt, even though letting him live could have made the final battle easier. Looking forward to the sequel now.

Im getting LBP2! Its coming out for Christmas I think You can record your voice for your levels, have programmable sackboys, new powerups & other stuff. As you can tell..I can't wait .

so, nobody up for black ops?
looks like im going to be the only one in the community playing cod again
