Yes, you heard me correctly. There are too many good games coming out in a short period of time. I can't scrape up the money for one, much less two of them. :(

Let's make a list, shall we?

Halo 2
Everquest 2
GTA: San Andreas
Half-Life 2
Metroid Prime 2
Baten Kaitos
MGS 3: Snake Eater
WoW

and no doubt many others that I have forgotten. What's the deal? It's like they are taunting me with their video game goodness, knowing that I cannot afford them! Do you share my frustration? </rant>

I think they're trying to get in for the Christmas rush. It's a proven fact that sales increase as Christmas approaches.

I am now in posession of MP2:Echoes and so far it is a giant leap ahead from the first MP game. :)

If you can`t afford `em, steal `em! Or better yet...suck yourself on to a rich relative, and give them a pound fat wishlist purely consistent of video games you want. Such as the list you have there, only more. Including sequels and prequels of the respective games. Muahahahah. Just to be an asshole!

True there are alot of games coming out with the christmas rush, but don't be pissed if you cant get them all. What really sucks is working so you have enough money to buy every game with no time to play the them. Damn there is a vicious cycle around.

What sucks even more is living in a pal region and having every consol game delayed for what seems like an eternity.

While FF XII will no doubt be awesome, I hardly consider February close to this past week as far as games coming out within close proximity. =D

It's good to hear that Echoes is better than the first Metroid Prime. While Prime was good in several aspects, it was far from the superb game it could have been.

SEND MONEY!

Yeah, I know. You know, it's a really a conspiracy game out there, they release games to us just to see us being played and tormented with, yup! THE ONLY TRUTH! ;)
