(mod, if this is redundant/cheesy/too useless, please delete ok?)

its the end of the year shopping list! way too many good games already out coming up, so maybe its interesting seeing what ppl are getting.
for me, last month was FIFA08 and its worth it

anyway, heres my list (with short explanation and probability of getting):

+ Naruto: Rise of a Ninja - been a fan of the manga since 2000, its only fair to relive everything from day one (70%)

+ COD4: Modern Warfare - great graphic, and gameplay according to review. problem is, its another shooter (40%)

+ Assassin Creed - waiting for full review. really dont want to upset jade (40%)

+ Mass Effect - so far, looks promising. wait for full review (30%)


not in list:

- Scene It? - not enough frens to play. real frens

- Conan - tried the demo. rental at best

- Jericho/Time Shift/Blacksite Area 51 - most probably average shooters (despite all the gimmicks)

- Rock Band/Guitar Hero 3 - felt silly tapping/hitting some plastic buttons as substituted to musical instrument. these music games are fun, but not really my taste

- Project Gotham Racing 4 - tried the demo, its wonderful. if i havent got pgr3, sure buy this one

- NFS: Pro Street - tried the demo, it's downright horrible!

- Ace Combat 6 - tried the demo, visually stunning! gameplay may be repetitive: lock-on, shoot missile, lock-on, shoot missile. but imho, need the flight stick to TRULY enjoy this

- Simpsons Game - Not really a die-hard fan to buy it, but I'm sure its one fun game

what about you guys?

p/s: try to refrain from arguing each other tastes k?
