Name your Top 5 games for each system this fall (1 Viewer)

[Camp]

This is pure research.
I want to know what 5 games you are anticipating the most for each of the 3 major consoles. I'm not set on the number 5 so if you can only come up with 2 or there are 10 titles you can't live without list them all!
I have my opinions on what your answers will be but I'd like to double-check my thoughts. Your answers will have a direct effect on salesperson knowledge in the company I work for.

Thanks in advance!

In no particular order, from EBGames' "Coming Soon" list between now and Dec. 31:

PlayStation 2:
1. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
2. The Getaway
3. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4
4. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

There are others I'm interested in, but right now these are the "must-buys." Kind of sad, really. I remember during holiday seasons past when I wanted six or seven titles, at least, per console. Now, there's just a handful on each that I feel I must have.

For kicks, here's my PC list:

1. Age of Mythology
2. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Spearhead Expansion Pack
3. Unreal Tournament 2003

I'm suprised only a few people mentioned Splinter Cell... I think it is going to be the game to beat this fall.

1. NBA 2K3
2. NHL 2K3
3. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
4. WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth
5. ...???... maybe Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4...???...

 

[Edan W]

Well, I only own an Xbox at this point but here's my top 7:


1. Splinter Cell
2. Timesplitters 2
3. Shenmue 2
4. Unreal Championship
5. Blinx
6. Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
7. Toe Jam and Earl III

 

[Dave E H]

I'll keep it to 5, here's my list in Priority order:

Xbox:
1 - Steel Battalion (Tekki!) - far and away #1 on ANY system
2 - Dead of Alive Extreme Volleyball
3 - Mech Assault (already got Live!)
4 - Shenmue II
5 - Splinter Cell (since CS for the Xbox seems delayed)

PS2:
1 - Grandia Extreme
2 - GTA 3 Vice City
3 - DDR Max (mostly for SO)
4 - Shinobi
5 - Legaia 2 (maybe - haven't seen a lot on this title)

comments:

I only plan to actually buy Steel Battalion, DOA VB, Mech Assualt & Grandia - the rest go on my Christmas list. Might buy DDR Max & a good pad for Christmas for my girlfriend.

Haven't really thought my GBA purchases, but I do want Tactics Ogre. As far as the GCN goes, I'll get one, but not until Skies of Arcadia ships for it.

And, I must say, I EASILY want Steel Battalion 4-5 times more than anything else on this list. If I have to get one thing, that's the title.
