Watch List – The short form

ElMico asked me what I was buying next. Here is my list; sorry no pictures.
  • Batman: Arkham Asylum – Aug 25 (PS3?) I liked the demo.
  • Guitar Hero 5 – Sept 1 (PS3 – get with Van Halen) For Party mode.
  • The Beatles: Rock Band - Sept 9 (PS3) I may rent this first.
  • Wet - Sept 15 (PS3?) A girl with a gun and a sword.
  • Halo 3: ODST – Sept 22 (Xbox) I need to finish Halo3.
  • Alpha Protocol - Oct 5 (PS3?) FO3 but "espionage."
  • Brutal Legend - Oct 12 (Xbox for Multi-player) Looks like fun!
  • Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Oct 12 (PS3) For the graphics and story.
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Nov 10 (BOTH PS3 and Xbox) $120!
  • Assassin's Creed II - Nov 17 (PS3) I need to finish AC 1st (it started repeating and got repetitive over and over again).
  • The Saboteur - Dec (PS3?) Intriguing.

Only two will I buy the day it comes out: GH5 and CoDMW2. The rest I will watch for reviews and sales. Christmas time is coming – and so will the discounts.

Also, the ones labeled ‘PS3?’ don’t have multi-player – so no real reason to buy for Xbox, unless LensOfTruth judges otherwise.

What's on you list? Did I miss something?

Lens Of Truth gave the nod to the PS3 version of Batman:AA. The game has received great reviews - some game-of-the-year talk. The price won't come down much before Christmas. Guess I won't be getting that ivory back-scratcher.

So far I have gotten: GH5, RB:tB, BM:AA (all PS3), and R:R (PSP).
