If I had a PS3, I'd probably go for HAZE as well because of my Free Radical TimeSplitters fanaticism. Tell us how it is.

I'm buying the "Sekaiju no MeiQ II Super Arrange" this month and that's probably it for the world of entertainment. Oh, and an Indy IV movie ticket.

The demo for Haze was alright.  Kinda like a cross between Far Cry and Halo 3, just without the shapeshifting and the vehicles.  For online co-op, I'd try it, but my friend is waiting for MGS4 to get a PS3, so I won't be playing it until the later half of next month.

Trying not to buy too much, but Wii Fit at least is on my agenda. And hopefully that will be all until....hmm, August. ^_~

I will definitely be going to buy Chuck Palahniuk's new book, Snuff, and I may pick up the new Felix da Housecat GU mix. My aunt gave me a gift card to Barnes and Noble for Christmas and I've been saving it for that Chuck book. Tomorrow should be fun!

I bought quite a few items which was most unfortunate for my poor bank balance. It only came out this month in Europe so got Apollo Justice and swiftly followed by the purchase of the soundtrack that just came today.

I also got the GTA 4 special edition cheap on ebay but had to sell the game as my 360 became faulty. At least got £40 for the game alone as it was incredibly hard to buy in shops for at least 2 weeks from release making the specil edition stuff come out at £16. tongue

I also bought the Panzer Dragoon Zwei soundtrack from Zane here which I am looking forward to and a friend got me the Sonic and Knuckles soundtrack in Japan. Also succumbed to buying some more gamecube games on ebay cheap consisiting of pokemon stadium,warioworld and the gameboy player.

Just want to see if I slowdown a bit as well now otherwise I will go bankrupt in no time! smile

At least it seems there are no must have games out this month.

I didn't know this would be available so soon, but I definitely want to pick up the Alone in the Dark soundtrack that comes out tomorrow (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00175 … B00175G6W8).  From what I've heard the music is pretty interesting for a survival horror game, and prominently features a Bulgarian choral group.  The music is done by Olivier Deriviere who has written for some obscure European games, including the aptly named Obscure 1 & 2 (http://music.ign.com/articles/861/861433p1.html).  smile

When I went to see a preview of the game at Atari here in London the music was really one of the best parts of it as it uses an orchestral musical score that reminded me a lot of the music in Beyond Good and evil. smile

I am not sure about over there in the states but here in the UK the soundtrack is coming out as part of a special edition for all formats with a lot of other goodies involved.

Yikes... I just saw X-Play's review for HAZE. 2 out 5 stars. It looks buggy. I've also read that it's not even in HD! FR says it's so they could keep the frame rate up. That was their excuse for the low level of detail of the character models in the first TimeSplitters, if I recall correctly. It was excusable then because TS still looked and played great. This time, especially considering the release delays, it's not. I've had it pre-ordered since it was open for pre-orders so I'll still check it out and hope it has some redeeming qualities.

Well, it's got a great frame rate. I like the natural camera movement and it's nice to hear the character you play in an FPS actually speak to the NPCs. Other than that, I kind of hate it. The get-high-or-die play mechanic is nearly useless, the graphics are bland and the NPCs never shut up. Hope FR gets their sh*t together for TS4, if and when that happens.

I bought a Wii  smile

and a Wii Fit yesterday, but that one's a present, so I need to find another one to keep for myself.

Congrats. It really is a fun little deck, especially if you have family over often. I would recommend getting Galaxy for yourself as soon as you're able. My other primary recommendations are more idiosyncratic (Zack & Wiki, No More Heroes), but Galaxy is pretty much a guaranteed good time.

Yep, I'm borrowing Galaxy from my brother and have 20-some stars so far.   Yeah it's a blast.

Even Wii Sports is fun.  I've never been into console sports games from EA with their yearly revisions and same-formula-as-last-year play, so sports games used to be on my MUST AVOID list.  Doing the actions (and the simplified rules) make sports games enjoyable for the first time, like, ever.

First game purchase was Endless Ocean, because it's relaxing after getting home from work.  2nd game was Harvey Birdman (since the show is funny) and it was only $20!
