Its time again to wish each other a HAPPY DIWALI & a Prosperous New Year! 
But wait, the "Prosperous" part is not very active in present economics! Mayb thatz the reason gamerz like me find myself at the "bottom of the pyramid" of financial 'Crysis' with nothing but hopes to 'ROCK ON' this festive season with the massive game release pile-up! 
Its not that i invested n lost in the market or anything, its just that i'v been shifting jobs (now i am in PricewaterhouseCoopers Mumbai) and ended up spending the last remnant of savings arranging a dwelling in Aamchi Mumbai! 
Not surprisingly, you can find me staring longingly at my X360 & LCD in my small but comfy flat in South Mumbai wishing for a miracle that will display "Dead Space" or "Far Cry 2" on them! But alas, as i romp through mission after mission for the 4th time in GTA 4, titles release one after another & i have had to maintain a list of games that i will buy once my coffers are full again! Herez a brief glimpse of some of em for X360...
Ofcourse it does not include other platform titles like Motorstorm, STALKER, Resistance, Spore that have already covered a notebook! With GS ratings becoming unquestionably stupid, people like me who invest in buying original cdz are now facing the music after a promising title turns out to be meant for braindead martians!
I managed to grab hold of Saints Row 2 after much convincing internally and it turned out to be a crappy yet funny GTA. Ï had played Saints Row 1 bt i liked it thanks to the absence of next-gen GTA, but nw m just tryin 2 convince myself ke i made a gud choice by tryin 2 play thru its terrible lukkin graphics n fun gameplay... 
Luk @ what all is to release rite now! Can't miss NFS as m a huge fan of it, Fallout 3, GOW 2 & Far Cry 2 are cults - miss em n you loose ur license to live amongst the gaming community! 
Horror, my fav genre, has been blessed with a baby called Dead Space - thoughtful name representing my condition actually! Tried convincing parents for a gamin budget but as they put it "Beta, u shud manage ur finances robustly! Nw wait for sometime before u buy a game". WAIT !!!! OHHH the agony of a gamer who has to WAIT!!! while the rest of the world romps thru superb titles around him! 
But the solution is to WAIT yet again! Stare @ ur XBOX & Stare @ ur calender! Thatz my nu hobby nowadays!!

no money in the pocket. will have to get crysis Warhead, FC2 after diwali ends coz i will manage to get some cash in diwali

I agree with Reetesh. Baja,Midnight Club,Fracture,Silent Hill are best ignored.
It just sucks that Fallout 3 isn't coming here which means everyone who wants to play it (including me) will have to import it.
Houses in Mumbai can sure be costly yeah.
Happy Diwali.
Polya - thanxxx mate n same wishes 2 u as well!
Abhirup - dude lemme kno whr u live / work, letz try managing our problems better 2gether! vot say?
lightwarrior - i can avoid all those games provided i get my hands on FC2, DS, F3 & GOW2!!!
Happy diwali once again! Freak On !!
Reetesh
They are good but this is decision time and you gotta leave the not so good ones..
Gears2, L4D, F2,F3,FC2, Dead Space are the must haves, other can somewhat wait
