With the insane list of games coming out, what are you getting?

Whoever snags BioShock tomorrow, weather you get it for PC or 360 be sure to post your thoughts on it for us

Also wanted to add that I\'m looking forward to Team Fortress 2 as well. The original TF was just one of those games I loved and remember putting countless hours into as a young teen. Not really a big fan of cell shading but if the gameplay is the same then i\'ll be more than happy.

^^^^what kind of game is that?  i didn\'t think they were serious....what a s**ty ass game...

lol forgot about portal It looks interesting, and I like the trailer for it I\'m usually quite happy with Valve products. Not into puzzle games really but I think it looks fun.

Its in the half-life 2: orange box. So portal alone isnt worth 60 bucks, but I might get it. Kind of doubt it since ill be too busy with the other games. Not including games like dirt, vegas, madden, etc that I have and still play.

orange box has half-life 2, HL2: ep. 1 and 2, team fortress 2, and portal. So its a pretty big game. Id play the 3 half-life games, but i think team fortress and portal would end up taking a back seat

Portal and Team Fortress 2 should be fun!

Maybe I am odd, but I loved the original Half-Life, but could not be bothered to make it halfway through Half Life 2. It all just seemed so boring.

Nah your not odd, i\'ve had half-life 2 since 04. I\'m yet to beat it :P

HL2 mods and side games like TFC and CS I do enjoy a lot tho.

Haha same here, I\'m only like 1/3rd through HL2, but I play CS, DOD and The Ship quite a bit.

For those getting bioshock, circuit city is selling it for 10 bucks off.

Im debating if i should just price match at best buy, and use my 50 buck gift card that ive had since march. my cheapness is becoming a problem,haha. I held onto it just for this rush of games...wasnt anticipating buying bioshock but o well. Im debating whether to just get it now (while its 10 bucks off) even though my 360 is being repaired. no idea when ill get it back.

Decided on Bioshock, mass effect, call of duty 4, fifa 08, and assassins creed now; nhl 08 and brothers in arms for christmas; and then rent stuff like army of two and ace combat. Thatll get me to GTA IV,lol

I ended up buying bioshock on pc. Might as well get it out of the way, but it was WAY more trouble than i would have liked to get this game playing. First my dvd-rom wouldnt read the dvd (heard many people had this problem), and then i couldnt install this singleplayer game because 2k\'s website is down, and you have to go through an autopatching system in order to play the game the first time..i dont even think there was a patch, but itd just negate the whole install if you skipped that step. But i got it to work the next morning.

The game itself is awesome. some people were worried that only having 5 bad dudes would be bad for the game, but it really isn\'t a big deal and takes no fun out of the game. They mix those 5 characters enough to always make it fun killing them. The plasmids, for the most part, are cool. there\'s a few pointless ones. I havent been able to upgrade my weapons yet, since im not that far, but theyre alright; probably the least impressive part of the game, but still fun in the heat of the moment.

And the game is relatively linear, but they werent lieing that there is a lot to explore. I was personally expecting a widish open, linear path, and there would be random shit all around (making it pretty dumb), but there\'s hidden rooms, walkways, underground parts, etc etc that make the exploring worthwhile. plus most of the really hidden stuff has some cool guns/powers in the rooms.

The bad side is that when im done playing this one time, that\'ll probably be it. I MIGHT play it a second time, but i rarely ever do. Plus, they did kind of make the exploring part pretty frusterating. Say you go through a room, totally explore it and collect everything, then go on to the next bit of the map; if you have to go back through that same area at another time, you have to RE-explore everything because stuff pops up in places you already looked. Just gets stupid to spend 10 minutes in a room, then going back and having to do it all over again.

But overall, if you have a good pc, get it for 40 bucks (think the deal ends at circuit city soon). If you only have a 360, maybe get it for 50 (also at CC), but i probably wouldnt pay 60 for it. The game is awesome, and I\'m glad they put so much effort into it, but replayability naturally lacks in single player only games

Downloaded the demo, apparently my driver for the 7900GTX GO card has issues and they haven\'t released a new driver for it (laptops get no love) so I\'m going to wait on getting it for my computer.

It ran fine up until the second load and it just crashes.

I had a tad more playtime with the full version on the 360 and I have to stay, it didn\'t live up to what I had expected from the demo.  Think I\'ll spend my money on \'Overlord\', which appears to be the sleeper hit of \'07.

Overlord was fun for about 5 hours then it just kind of died off for me.

I had never even heard of it until recently. I\'ve got the PC version, which in all honesty, compared to the 360, it\'s gorgeous. I prefer the controls also (Mouse - Minions / Keyboard - Main).
