"Just To Let You Know...": Vol. 5
by Troy-M on Comments
The end-of-summer edition of "Just To Let You Know..." is here! And guess what? Nobody cares! Well...I do. Anyways, let's get a move on: Some games coming out before the end of the year that I have preordered or would like to buy: NHL 2K6 (Xbox): One of the two games that I've preordered so far. I've paid off more than half the price of this game and would like to pay off the rest real soon. I think it will ultimately be the better hockey game coming out in September--especially considering NHL 2005's performance last year and the lack of promise that I've seen from NHL 06. And, besides, Take-Two's hockey game this year is once again a mere 20 clams (that translates to $25 or $30 here, I guess)! It should arrive at my local EBGames by September 2nd. Burnout Revenge (Xbox): The other game that I've already preordered. I've only put the bare minimum ($5) on this game but I hope to pay off this game very soon as well! I have very high expectations for this latest entry in the series and I hope those expectations are met come September 15th when I'll be able to pick it up from the local EBGames! :D Indigo Prophecy (PC): If I somehow get enough money to, I'll definitely buy this title! As I said in JeremyK's journal, this is my pick for sleeper hit of the year and it certainly looks like Fahrenheit, as it's known in its developer's European homeland, will have that reputation come September 20th! Capcom Classics Collection (Xbox):Final Fight!? STREET FIGHTER II!?!! Not only does this game have two classic games that I absolutely love, but it also includes several other games that basically defined and re-defined Capcom throughout its history? Count me in! Quake IV (PC): This game looks awesome, period. The one thing I'm worried about, however, is how it will run on my PC. Doom 3 ran pretty good on it but Quake 4, albeit a game that uses the same engine, looks like it could take my computer to its limit. Hopefully, I can at least get a refund if it turns out the computer and the game don't want to get along. SSX On Tour (GCN): Well, due to a few certain factors and a lack of interest for online console play, I'm leaning towards the Gamecube version of SSX On Tour. I'm still a bit iffy about getting the game in the first place, but I still have two months to make up my mind so I'll take my time with this one. Soul Calibur III (PS2): I love fighting games and, boy, do I love Soul Calibur! Well...maybe I'm not exactly that fond of the series but Soul Calibur II is an awesome game and the third entry in the SC series looks like it won't disappoint! Half-Life 2: Aftermath (PC): OMGOMGOMG I must have this expansion pack to one awesome, awesome game! But, seriously, I loved Half-Life 2 and I'll definitely check out the expansion pack. I got my schedule for grade 11 on Thursday and I'm really happy with what I have and when I have it. I think this will be my first year in high school where I don't have to go change my schedule. I have my "fun semester" first, which is great because I always did better during the second semester since that's when I had all my fun/easy classes. Here's my schedule: I'm really starting to get into the DS, what with Advance Wars: Dual Strike and the blue DS coming out recently. Nintendo recently announcing that Metroid Prime: Hunters will have online play is leaning my mind more towards getting a DS for Christmas, too. And I won't neglect to mention that a handheld equivalent of Mario Kart 64 (which, IMO, deserved better than a 6.4) or, at the very least, the next best thing is just pure awesomeness! And, lastly... Microsoft...for god's sakes, not everyone's wallets are as big as your headquarters! Anywho, that's all for now! See you guys around!
