So i personally I am going to try and buy both today but who all else is picking up these games or pre-orders?

EDIT: Okay so I'm not getting either one today because I checked six places and none of them had it... well some had one or the other but refuse to sell them until tomorrow... And Friggin' Gamestop doesn't get them here until Tomorrow.... That's bull Crap because they all old me the 14th and they got Saints Row 2 TODAY!

I'll be grabbing Dead Space tomorrow as my local retailers tend not to have them on release days. :cry:

Yes to SOCOM. I'm not sure about Dead Space, I don't have the time and money for every single game that interests me. And I'm probably getting the disc version of Siren as well, no need for 2 survival horror games.

I suppose it would be too hard to check corners and likely camping spots right?

You people are the same in any game whether it be CoD, CS, DoD....

If you weren't lazy, or if you're attention span was long enough you wouldn't get killed by campers as much.

Cheers

KapG

Camping isn't lazy? :lol:

so once again it comes down to your unwillingness to check corners and such, its totally understandable...just don't complain about them.

If you pay attention ingame, these campers become easy kills for you.

Secondly, to whoever said "isn't camping being lazy?...it depends on how you're camping. If you are sniping from a distance and staying in a small little area, I wouldn't say thats lazy. If you are gonna crouch behind corners and **** for an entire map then sure thats lazy, but it also puts you at a disadvantage because people know where you are. You become predictable. You won't find me complaining about "campers" though. Everyone has their own gameplay style, it's up to you to use that to your advantage.

KapG

wow im sure you NEVER complain about campers. i bet if you walked into a room and someone was in the corner with a shotgun and blew your brains out you wouldnt be like hmm that was totally fair. actually it probably doesnt happen to you much because you are the guy in the corner with the shotgun. you cant get camp killed when your camping the whole time. the only people who stick up for camping is those who camp themselves

now...I never said I didn't complain about campers from time to time. Most of the time I just yell at my T.V. haha. What I dont do is come on a message board to complain about campers. Like anyone gives an ish.

Anyways, EBgames just gave me a shout and my copy is in! Gonna go pick it up after dinner :P

I'm buying Dead Space. Socom is a fun game too, but army shooters tend not to be my thing. I might be convinced to buy it for the headset when I'm done with Dead Space, but next week is Rock Band 2 and LittleBigPlanet and then Gears of War 2 in a few weeks, so my dance card is pretty much filled out.

I'm giving Socom a try. Played the old games and I think I'm done with COD4. The mentality of the people playing that game has finally gotten to me. You can't get into a game these days with out some wise a$$ loser cranking his rap music just to prove that he can be a class A !*(@#@ head. Infinity Ward did an okay job but with the stupid host migration and connection issues... I'm ready to say adios! I usually don't like plaiyng more then one game at a time. I usually have one I always go back to and I try others. COD4 was my goto game but now it's going to be Socom. I'm also going to get Fall Out 3. That looks pretty sweet.

I'm not too sure but if I had to take a guess I would say no... but from what I know you should be getting it today... and If not I hope the best for you because having to wait just another day for me really pissed me off lol... after wasting about half a tank of gas and sitting in traffic all around town...

there's no shame in considering reviews when making a purchase.

It's not that I'm ashamed. I just don't want people to think I'm jumping on the bandwagon or anything.
