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! Silly program.

Aye its a total scam!

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

[vampress13]

aw. i thought the UK usually got stuff first!

[Lenny]

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.

True, but they still wait to ship stuff to the rest of europe at the same time

I just order them from Ebay so my friends won't make fun of me for getting games so late.

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.

Has the PS3 been chipped? I know the 360 can be done.
