No DoA 4 and no Oblivion! Damn they are the most next gen games of this next gen. I will have to wait it seems.

is 3d fighter no longer considered a popular catagory? its very dissapointing to see that doa4 was delayed, but hopefully it will give the devs enough time to put the finishing touches on it.

[Aron Parsons]

Aside from a couple (Kameo, Condemned?), all these games are the same crap we currently have only with better graphics.  Is it just me or is that incredibly sad?  I know where my $400 isn't going on November 22...

[mr. newbie]

ridge racer. i cant wait. the music is always perfect.

[ibemonty2000]

Getting:

Condemed Criminal Origins

Ridge Racer 6

Amped 3 (yeah, I like and own the 1st two)  

Got my single player game, and some for multiplayer and Xbox Live.
