for me, its Warhawk and the Orange Box.

For some reason I cant bring myself to paying $30 for a multiplayer only game, which is kind of ridiculous considering Ive logged in like 60 hours into COD4, and only about 15% of it was single player. I think if they release the new update (jetpacks) with the previous 2 in a bundle for $12 or less I'll probably buy it.

Avoided the Orange Box because I heard TF2 is terrible on consoles, and mostly PS3. Also because I heard the game is really glitchy on ps3 and that the half life games arent for everybody.

If i dont get these games before October (when sooo many great games come out), I'll probably never play them.

get warhawk, its worth every penny, even orange box.

And Multiplayer are worth more money than single player only because they have way way way way more replay value.

youve waited this long for uncharted,,, you can wait a little longer. A great game no doubt, if you can grab it for $35 or less go for it.

Go rent Heavenly Sword, great game,,, worth every penny (of the renatal fee). I skipped on resistance and have never regretted

Warhawk and Orange box are cool, definitely worth the money. Even though I have them, I don't spend as much time playing them as other games. Cod4 is still my favorite online mp game.

I've put off getting Haze because of mixed reviews and I can't justify buying another shooter when I'm still playing the heck out of Cod 4 and R6V2. I also have to still need to finish the Orange Box as well as GTA IV. :P

I've also put off buying Turok and Battlefield Bad Company.

I would get Motorstorm instead of Pure, just a suggestion though..and Star Wars is cool and all but if I had to get ONE game soon, I would pick Resistance 2 over it, or maybe Far Cry 2.

I've been looking for a racing game for quite a while now, but have not found one that suits my interests. Motorstorm just doesn't fulfill my desire to drive virtually.

Burnout Paradise - More into real cars and driving simulations.

GT5: Prologue - Not paying $40 for a demo. No damage. Waiting for full game to come out.

Not into warhawk myself, but the other games I want just liek u and am waiting for them to be $30. U can get burnout for $30, but I am still playing cod4, gotta beat vegas 2, barely got into gtaiv yet, and am still into madden and head coach.

Usually I hold off simply because I just don't have the time to play all the games I want to. I usually play 3-4 games at a time, and don't buy more until I either get sick of one or beat one. Right now I'm playing Soul Calibur 4 and Warhawk for PS3, Lost Planet: Colonies for the 360, and Silent Hill: Origins for the PS2. SC4 and Warhawk have a lot of replay value so I probably won't purchase again until I really get burned out with those.

I'd like to pickup Ratchet and Clank Future but I've been waiting for the price to drop, same thing with Uncharted. These games have been out for some time now, why the hell are they still $60?

Uncharted- waiting for the price to drop and i LOVE long games

Warhawk- I still not sure if I'll like it. Hear good stuff about it

Folklore- well i think i'll buy this since the used price at gamestop is 26.99 now

Orangebox- I wasnt sure if I wanted this for PS3 or 360. Plus Im not in to shooters that much wasnt sure if I'll like it

Bioshock- heard some great news about it, since i know that the PS3 is getting a better version I'll get that one

Burnout Paradise- still not sure about it, I did have fun on the demo, u can make it as long as you want to :)

Haze- if its like Timeshift, I'll love it, and bad reviews came from everywhere

Metal Gear Solid 4- It looks freaking amazing but I'll be so confused since I never played the first 3.

Guitar Hero III- I actually have this one for the Wii, but if i get it for cheap I'll have downloads and better graphics

Soul Caliber 4- i loved the second one the best but they seem to be going down in fun since then

I don't have any of the "big" games right now except MGS4 because I don't like spending $60 on a game that lasts under 10 hours, no matter how good it is. I usually buy really long games or mostly online oriented games at full price. I'll usually wait a couple years until the prices drop or I find a good deal.

For me, it's been ratchet and Clank Future and Heavenly Sword. I sort of put off buying Ratchet because I wanted to take a break from ratchet games for a while, having played several the previous generation lol, though I will pick it up eventually. As for heavenly sword, the length never really justified the price, so i'll probably wait till it's a greatest hit.

Uncharted- waiting for the price to drop and i LOVE long games. Good, because not worth $60

Warhawk- I still not sure if I'll like it. Hear good stuff about i. O you'll like it alrite, every ps3 owner should own this. Amazing deal for $30.

Folklore- well i think i'll buy this since the used price at gamestop is 26.99 now. Not that good of a game so meh.

Orangebox- I wasnt sure if I wanted this for PS3 or 360. Plus Im not in to shooters that much wasnt sure if I'll like it. Get it, best deal on the PS3. And the ps3 verison is now same as 360 becaseu they fixed it.

Bioshock- heard some great news about it, since i know that the PS3 is getting a better version I'll get that one. Worth a rent but not worth a buy for $60.

Burnout Paradise- still not sure about it, I did have fun on the demo, u can make it as long as you want to :). Good replay value, fun, addicting, great online, cant go wrong with $30.

Haze- if its like Timeshift, I'll love it, and bad reviews came from everywhere. truest me you dont want to waste $60 on it. Or w.e the price is except if it is like $10

Metal Gear Solid 4- It looks freaking amazing but I'll be so confused since I never played the first 3. Skip the cut scenes or watch them like i did with some. If you dont get story, the gameplay and graphics are amazing too. MGO will be really fun too.

Guitar Hero III- I actually have this one for the Wii, but if i get it for cheap I'll have downloads and better graphics. If you have it then dont buy it because graphics dont really matter in this kind of game.

Soul Caliber 4- i loved the second one the best but they seem to be going down in fun since then. Not worth $60 IMO, i had it and returned and got BF:BC instead. Gets very repeatitive and stories suck.

Wait did you call Warhawk WWII junk? Are you sure you have the right game? It's pretty far from a WWII game.
