Lets get the hype going... whats your biggest three console purchases for their rest of the year? (No ties and no more then 3 or ELSE! lol)


(So that means NO to The Witcher, Mass Effect 3, or Ghost Recon... those are all next year.)


1. Battlefield 3: Looks to be the best squad based shooter in the overly crowded market.

2. Forza Motorsports 4: They look really to improve on FM3 in all areas.

3. Gears of War 3: Looks to have the best, biggest story, 4 player co-op, Multiplayer and the new HORDE 2.0 mode.


With just the above 3 titles, I have a feeling our S3 (SimHQ Super Saturday) events will EXPLODE again.

Battlefield 3 is the run-away winner for my most anticipated game. It's a day-one purchase for sure.

Next is probably Forza 4. It will probably have more staying power than what I choose for No. 3.

No.3 is still up in the air. It could be (in no particular order):
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Modern Warfare 3
Gears of War 3
NHL12 (this will be a must-have if they finally put in online CO-OP, allowing two players online to play on same team).

Lee not sure what you mean about 2 player co-op in NHL12. The last NHL game I had was NHL10 and I played that online with 3 other guys all on the same team (2 of us played defense and the other 2 were forwards). You could actually play with 6 because you could control the goalie. We would go online and play against other teams that were controlled by actual players as well.

I must be misunderstanding what you mean.


Nice hat, looks good on you though.

1. Skyrim
2. Battlefield 3
3. Dead Island

Forza 4 is pretty much a tie with Dead Island, but at this moment I'm slightly more interested in killing zombies since I have iRacing.


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.
