    Now that summers officially over there are some big games on the horizon...

    ...what's everyone looking forward to?

    For me it's all about the the new GTA 4 dlc, Gran Turismo 5 and Modern Warfare 2

    I'm still not 100% sold on Assasins Creed 2 or Forza 3 yet but I was planning on saving them 'til next summers release drought anyway if Heavy Rain and AVP stick to their early 2010 release dates.

    For me its Assasins Creed 2 all the way, the other games like Bioshock 2 and Mafia 2 have slipped to next year.

    Torchlight looks interesting must admit, Uncharted 2 is another one Im after but unsure if its this year

    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is the main 'un for me

    But I'll probably be laying down some cash for Fifa 10, MW2, Assassin's Creed 2, GTA DLC and Forza 3 at some point.

    Oh me poor monehs

    Dragon Age: Origins looks very promising!

    Other than that, I'll be mostly catching up with older games tbh, still haven't played Fallout 3!

    The coming months are going to be quite eventful from a gaming perspective, I'm interested in Assassins Creed 2, Bio Shock 2, Mass Effect 2 & Modern Warfare 2. I look forward to playing all of the 2's.

    Re: Now that summers officially over there are some big games on the horizon...

    Assassins Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Tekken 6 are the big games coming soon that I'm looking forward to! Also I really want to get Halo ODST, the fact it has the Halo 3 multiplayer with all the DLC is a very seducing bonus.

    With Quake Arena free on the interwebs I'm not sure, but the original Unreal Tourny with all the great original maps on Live Arcade would be incredible!

    I'd forgotten about Uncharted 2, that's definitely another one for the list! Christmas is going to be busy again this year, time to start planning operation myriad 2.0..

    Is Alan Wake actually coming out? I stopped paying attention to it a very long time ago as it seemed as if it'd never make to shelves and eventually become Remedys own version of Duke Nukem Forever....

    Heh, I know what you mean. I've had it on pre-order for what seems like years. At the moment the release date is 30/10/2009, but I won't be holding my breath

    Seem to be really into my RPG games right now. Demons souls taking up all my free playtime right now (so damn challenging) and so may well check out Dragon Age for maybe a more "relaxed" RPG experience (will read reviews first)

    Also like the look of the D&D online game people are talking about in the other thread.
