What Game Can't You Wait To Play?

Haha. I've just run my version, and it tells me that a major hardware change means it needs to be re-activated!

But I haven't changed a single piece of hardware since I added more RAM two months ago! :p Silly program.
 
Grand Theft Auto IV, STALKER:Clear Sky (although, I'm afraid that STALKER's success in the West will move the game in the wrong direction), to some extent Simcity: Societies (it will really be hit or miss, either it will be a great game or a total disaster, with more suggesting the latter) and that's about it.

Funny, when I started the reply, I thought that there were heaps of upcoming games that I look forward to.

Well, maybe Far Cry 2 too (not Crysis). No trigens, an overhauled AI and a large open savanna to have fun in? Sounds good. Nothing has been heard about Alan Wake recently, wonder how that turned out. Also, Mafia 2 is ahead on the horizon somewhere, as is Fallout 3, although I don't hold out much hope for either.
 
30 May 2008 xbox 360 version, UK acording to amazon - so take the date with a pinch of salt and remember that the UK gets this stuff last :(
 
It depends. Sometimes we get some things before America, but most of the time, it's Japan first, then America, then little old us.
 
Aparently they have to translate stuff to all the other languages of Europe before they ship = we are apparently not a big enough market to warrent our own delivary ship/

The UK is the third largest consumer of video games.
 
The beauty of 1/3 of the new generation of consoles *cough*PS3*cough* is that games are region free - so if a game comes out in America twenty years before Europe, as is often the case, the PS3 owner can import it.

There are things for al systems, too, which allow it to play other regions games - you can either chip the console, or use some kind of CD that does it. I don't know much about the CD, seeing as I've never used it, but when KH2 came out in Japan, European and American gamers imported the game, used said CD, and played the foregin game on their PS2. It's been done for years with all games exclusive to Japan.
 
I don't know. But it probably has been, seeing as it's been on the market for a year.
 
true about chipping, but sony cracked down hard on chippers - its now illegal for a shop to chip or even to sell chip material - a major pain, though that was for the PS2 - I am unsure about the recent PS3
 
At least they don't do what Microsoft do and ban all modders from Xbox Live. And, seeing as everything about the 360 seems to revolve around XBL as if it's the centre of the Universe, it more or less means you've got to get a new 360 to carry on playing.

Sony do ban if you get caught.

And so they should. It is illegal.
