These are the games I am looking forward to in the gaming surge from August-to-December.

1. Bioshock

I am looking forward to this one the most. I've been following it for quite a while and I thought it looked like it was worth getting. I recentlly played the demo and now i'm simply estatic. I am constantly on the Bioshock board trying to find out about the game.

2. Halo 3

This one's a no-brainer, it's halo for crying out loud. Recently what really sparked my interest is the four player co-op mode, I think that will be great.

3. Assassin's Creed

Who doesn't want to be an assassin?

4. Mass Effect

I think Mass Effect will be a game of the year nominee (as well a few others on this list). It has great potential. A massive world to explore and it comes from the developers of GOTY KOTOR.

5. Super Mario Galaxy

I'm very curious to see how this game will play.

6. Super Smash Brothers Brawl

I've been waiting for this ever since the Wii was announced.

7. Guitar Hero 3

So far, I think this game has the best music in the Guitar Hero series, and Guitar Hero is only as fun as the songs you are playing.

8. CoD4

I am really interested in how well the modern day setting suits the CoD series.

Well, those are some of my most anticipated games, what are yours?

Well, Gears of War comes out the 7th. But unfortunately, it has been delayed and is only going to be released on the 7th in big cities. Jackson, Ohio isn't quite a big city, so i'm pretty sure I won't be able to find it for a while. I think the 13th is the date I heard. Oh well I guess, I can probably borrow some games from my friend and get some quick achievements while I wait. I just finished all of the Oblivion achievements. I would've had them sooner but my first 360 had the red lights of doom, so I had to send it back. Also, three-fourths through the fighter's guild, I had a glitch, so I had to make a new account and do all the quests over, which took 15 hours. Well, i'm starting to ramble a bit so I guess i'll stop it here.
My gamertag is "Jayjohn", so add me so we can play sometime. I'm pretty good at Halo 2 as well, so, adding me isn't just restricted to 360 owners.
