   Let’s see:

   Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for DS.
   Space Invaders Extreme for PSP.

   GRiD for 360 if I want to splurge.

   I have a backlog of nine games already that I purchased in May alone. Sigh.

   If I have to pass, I get rid of the backlog and get FFT-A2 for sure.

   Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for the DS
   Space Invaders Extreme for the PSP (maybe)

   Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PS3 (I just snagged a PS3 this weekend and MGS4 will HOPEFULLY be the first game I buy for it… must resist urge to get the other 4 games worth buying for the system).

   And that’s about it. I want to play Lego Indy and a bunch of the various movie tie-in games that are coming out this month, but the only ones that I can actually justify buying are the three mentioned above.

   I actually really liked the Bourne Conspiracy demo but I have a feeling that the game will take about 5 hours to complete and then I’ll never touch it again. I get the God Of War vibe from the demo. A great roller coaster of a ride while it lasts but not worth $60…

   I WISH I had a backlog of nine games…

   Oh, I missed Secret Agent Clank. I want to play that but I think I’ll wait until it’s a little cheaper than the expected $35-40. I waited to get Size Matters on the PSP until it hit the $20 price point and I’ll do the same for Clank.

   Big Beach Sports is good and the variety of sport games included make this game a good gift for the whole family.

   @Nat – Why not Space Invaders for the DS? Is there a difference?

   @Brock – Nice pickup with the PS3. MGS4 does look shiny.

   @Minas – Okay, I’m on to you, you little tricky spammy spammer.

   I have FINALLY entered the truly “current gen” and ditched my Wii for a PS3. Walmart was having a sale that you get a $100 gift card with the purchase of any PS3, I got myself a 40gb, my parents are paying for half of the system, as my birthday is the 15th, and they FORGOT about my last two birthdays, I made sure they didn’t forget this one, or that they forgot the others.
   Anyway, selling Wii, because honestly, there aren’t many good games. Sure there’s Mario this and Mario that, but I’ve never been a huge fan of the 1st party Nintendo series, they never seem to change, and get staler with each release.
   Ordered Uncharted from amazons 1 day sale where it was $40, also ordered a HDMI-DVI-D cable so I can play on my 22″ Widescreen monitor in my room (720p)my dad just ordered a 52″ samsung 1080p, but it hasnt arrived, and everyone else is always using the TV, so I just play in my room. Might pull it out and grab an HDMI cable and run it on the TV when people come over.
   Going to buy Warhawk from GS, CoD4 from a friend, and of course, MGS4.Oh, and a headset. I want GTAIV, but im not sure how i’m to go about telling my parents that, as right now they’re convinced any game in the GTA series consists of full on sex with a hooker, finished by shooting them in the face.
   I plan to get Ratchet & Clank, SKATE, and Burnout Paradise when they’re a little cheaper. Might get Rainbow 6 Vegas, as it’s pretty cheap. I can borrow assassins creed and resistance from my friend, as he has them both.
   For the past two days, I’ve just been downloading craploads of demos from PSN and playing them all. finally downloaded every demo i was interested in, now I have to play them all. I’ve had a great time just with the demos. I’m amazed by the graphics, even while playing on a 19″ 480i TV that turns all the colors green. but as soon as my cable arrives, I shall upgrade to glorious 720p! And as soon as my dad’s new TV arrives, I can try out 1080p on a 52″ TV!!! 😀 needless to say, I am very happy with my purchase, and do not regret throwing the skinny white gamecube in the trash. Actually, I didn’t
   think gamecube had games like this.That is all.

    @Tony — What is the stylus going to offer me for a game the only goes left and right and one button press? The screen is bigger too. 😀

    @flamingsquirrel — you have responsible parents. That’s, like, a cool thing. Trust me.

    @Nat – good point. The stylus certainly isn’t going to make your left and right movements any more accurate. It’s nice to have a choice.

    @fs – What Nat said — listen to your parents. And congrats on the new PS3! I’m jealous. Welcome to the HD era.
