Fortunately Rome: Total War is already out...

I've really been looking forward to so many games that are coming out over the next few months (KoTOR2, Metroid: Prime2, Paper Mario2, WoW open beta/ live, etc. etc.), but I'm so damn busy this semester that I just don't see myself having time enough for any of them. :(

KOTOR 2 was pushed back, right?

There is a lot of gaming goodness soon to be released. I totally dug Halo, and I'm a big Bungie Fan..

Ditto. I have it on pre-order and can't wait to trade fire on XBL. Hopefully I'll get to frag some NT posters =)

Half-Life 2 is the only one of that bunch that I'm gonna pick-up.

Well that and WoW.

I'll buy Halo 2 but it'll be a cold day in hell before I buy Xbox Live.

Paying for the right to use the Internet without providing ISP service is akin to paying cash to read a classic book one can get at the library.

Half Life 2, WOW, EQ2, KOTOR2 will all probably be in my Software collection come December.

I'll have Halo 2, not necessarily buy it though. Purchased the first one for both my PC & XBox and I have played maybe 100 hours total between the two, I feel as though paying $1 per hour to this point is more than enough.

I did my year of LIVE and then cancelled. I just never have enough time to play to justify the cost.

I'm sure you have your reasons, which I won't dispute. Personally, I just don't care for PC gaming much these days as it's just more relaxing to play on my couch in front of a widescreen HDTV than sitting at my desk. The Hurricane Packs for Ninja Gaiden were also too tempting :wink:

I totally agree. I have given up playing games on my PC's for the most part. I do audio and web crap on them and save the gaming for the full on audio/video assault system that is my living room.
