The video game industry is trying to kill my bank account.

These are just things that strike me as being "worth the buy" and not just rentals. Sweet merciful crap. When you add in rentals, I'm not sure when I'm supposed to eat, sleep or write.

I hear ya. I was a hardcore game junkie a few years ago. I forgot to bathe, eat or go to work.

So I had to go cold turkey - I can't even fathom 'playing only a couple of hours' idea.

[mewelke]

And that's just in the next couple of months. The current schedule for the 360 January through April...shudder. And again these are just ones that I expect to be buying:

Alan Wake
Blue Dragon
DDR
Golden Axe
Shadowrun
Stranglehold
Assassins Creed
Burnout 5
Halo 3
Bioshock
Mass Effect

[Brian Reed]

Oh fuck, I didn't need to see the post-Christmas pileup.

Really? I've had my days of gaming addiciton, but I've never actually missed work for a game. I've been tempted, mind you...

[Lanowar]

Wow how are you going to do anything with that list of games that said I'm going to be getting most of those games to so I'm in no position to argue really I'm a sucker for RPG games.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance for 360 it's all about the Moon Knight exclusive (and Ms Marvel if she is there which seems likely)

[Brian Reed]

(and Ms Marvel if she is there which seems likely)

I've been told she's in the game.

[ramtower]

As Ms. Marvel? Or as Warbird, like in that new Marvel Encyclopedia thing that DK just published?

Edit: Whoa, and Moon Knight? I already planned on the 360 version, but now, i'm even more sold. I may wind up getting the Wii version too, depending on how well implemented the controls are.

[Lanowar]

Moonknight has Khonshu the god as one of his costumes. Alongside his classic, latest and Ultimate style.

Help me out here how is Ms Marvel different from Warbird? Or is it just a name change.

(That DK thing is awful by the way)

[ramtower]

Just a name change, as far as I know. I thumbed through the DK book at the bookstore, looked up Ms. Marvel just to see what was there. Nothing. Under Warbird, however, it says "she has returned to the name Ms. Marvel." SO WHY ISN'T SHE LISTED AS MS. MARVEL!?

[ramtower]

Moonknight has Khonshu the god as one of his costumes. Alongside his classic, latest and Ultimate style.

I have no idea why Moon Knight has this power over me. But here I sit, giddy as...um...a guy getting nitrous at the dentist, who knows it's going to hurt soon but just can't stop giggling.

Only it's my wallet that's hurting.

Yes you could do the normal thing and not let your wallet take the pain...BUT this might be your only chance to become the avatar of Khonshu egyptian god of the moon and vengeance and take on the forces of Doom in his name!

(Is not helping matters by playing Khonshu's advocate)

[ramtower]

Oh, I'm already sold on it. It's just that moment of resignation before the whirring of the drill and the smell of burnt enamel.

When I asked, I was told she will be Ms. Marvel. No idea what the nonsense in the DK book was all about.

[ramtower]

Oh, and that alternate costume: Konshu the god statue or the Moon Knight costume used in Moon Knight: Fist of Konshu, with the gold belt and bracelets? A coworker was asking...

[Lanowar]

I would'nt worry about it Brian the DK Encyclopedia is pretty bad not just Carol who gets a raw deal, Emma Frost according to this guide still is the Headmistress of the Massachusetts and the reltionship to Cyclops is ommitted. I would'nt lose sleep worrying.

See when you say that I'm not sure, I was'nt aware of the gold costume until 5 seconds ago when I looked. That seems more likely now you mention it, I must admit I am not the Moon Knight expert I appear to be, heh.

[ramtower]

Either way, I'm psyched. I hate to admit that I got my start on the character mostly from that rather short run of Fist of Konshu. I didn't hit the rockin' first series until much later.

[Lanowar]

Still I'll have Deadpool, Moon Knight, Ms Marvel and Luke Cage in my team perhaps using Doc Strange and Spidey here and there.

I though no one here would care but since Ms Marvel's not actually been announced in the game. if someone actually read this and posted it in various other forums I'm sure someone would have there arms forceibily removed. I'll refrain from doing such a thing but I'll have a smug grin when she is announced anyway.
