Dead Island (Special Edition, without a doubt), Rage, Batman, COD, Skyrim, Battlefield, Assassins Creed... Not enough time to play the games, never mind the money.

Better get some overtime in so I can take a shitload of time off when they come out.

[The_Deleted]

Dead Island and Skyrim for me.


Batman and Saints Row III will deffo get a look in cash permitting.

But I think the January sales will be an absolute riot (for wont of a better word).

[Johnny Shoulder]

I'm only getting Battlefield 3 on Day One. Dues Ex (which isn't on the list, shame on you Bobo) and Rage I might purchase after I have dipped my toe into em. The rest I'm renting. Should fill up the majority of next year with just the 360 games, especially as some of em are gonna be timesinkers.

[Bob]

Dues Ex (which isn't on the list, shame on you Bobo)

It comes out in August.. Which isn't and has never been Q4.

[Johnny Shoulder]

Fair point Booby. Shame on you for wording the thread title incorrectly then.

[Palerider_GB]

Batman:AA
Battlefield 3
Skyrim


Everything else is going to have to wait.

[Dave Shaw]

Day one:
FIFA 12 (obviously)
Forza 4
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Need For Speed: The Run
Super Mario 3D Land (though I'd like not to think so)

Maybe:
F1 2011
Gears 3
Batman

Just no:

Skyrim. I like my free time.
Anything by Excalibur Publishing.

[Eli Vance]

Good luck with that list.

Day 1

Rage, Dark Souls, Skyrim, Silent Hill Downpour and Batman.

I'm going with the big rpg style adventure games first before hitting the more mp focused games.

[ClownTrousers]

Hmmm, I said Rage when I meant Dark Souls.

[Eli Vance]

I couldn't decide either way.

[Tom909]

Battlefield 3 and Forza 4 are definite day ones for me. As for the rest, I'll wait for reviews/forum feedback before I write my Christmas list.
