I would also recommend Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

I bought it the other day and have been thoroughly enjoying it.  You do have to have quite precise aim (as was pointed out by another poster) and that takes some getting used to, but it's very well done.  Very, very pretty as well.  It's probably the best looking game for any of the consoles right now.

It has lots of unlockables to get as well.

Unreal Tournament III. Preorder it because it's coming out on the 11th (shipping on the 10th) in limited quantities since Epic didn't really think they were gonna be able to finish it for this year.

When Gamstop tells you bullshit like this they are lying, you know.

CoD4 for DS is a "rent this!" game.

The same thing happened when the Orange Box came out, we got 2 copies. 1 was a preorder. We didnt get anymore copies till 2 weeks later.

But my local Target on the other hand had copies of the game about three rows deep on launch day.  Gamestop/EBgames isn't the only place in town that sells video games!

So Dudesoft: Have you acted on your decision yet?  I know that you had replied to the advice, but I'm curious to know what you actually ended up doing.

That is, until Little Big Planet comes out.

LBP looks like it will be fun for about five minutes. Awesome trailer, but looks like a meh game.

I was really excited about UTIII, until I got CoD4, and now I kind of feel like "do I really need another shooter?" Same thing with Haze. I thought it looked cool, but now I'm completely uninterested. A good online FPS can hold my attention for a really long time (I played CoD:UO on a regular basis for well over a year), so I just can't picture buying three or four shooters, all with online multiplayer as the main draw, within a month of each other.

I might still pick up UTIII though, just because a lot of my friends are raving about it and they're all going to get it. But I doubt I'll play it much when I'm not playing with them.

Also, Dudesoft, whenever you're online, it says you're playing Ratchet and Clank, so I'm guessing that's what you got? Or did you just rent it?

Me and caminator18 decided to beat Ratchet and Clank Future. It took us about 15 or so hours. We're going to work on Assassin's Creed next... it's such a beautiful game. And, if it bores us eventually... we'll hit Uncharted.
We're both R&C fans, so... we started with Assassin's Creed, and after a while, we took a break and both decided "Let's Play R&C". (Which instantly means "Let's Beat R&C".) It's addictive, I have to say. We beat it no sweat, with all the weapons fully upgraded and leveled up (except that weird wolverine melee glove... no need for it).
Later today a few friends and I will be doing a drinking game party. Booze and fighting games. I'll rent Fight Night Round 3, and I own Virtua Fighter 5 already.
Thinking back, I've decided that the next paycheck I get will be Uncharted for certain. I want to beat A'sC... it seems beatable, time permitting. Uncharted seems PLAYABLE, and I want to really enjoy it without time restraint. As for Call of Duty... Well, at the Airport, where I work, you can pick up other people's shifts for tax-free dollars. The next shift-pay I do, will get me CoD4. (Should be soon. People have been badgering me for illegal shift-trades during my holiday, damnit.)

What else... Uh... No that's it. Aside R&C, I've just been working on my book and catching up on Heroes Season 2. (season finale on Monday?!) ​)

I'll post you on the post-vacation verdict! Maybe the plan will change---WHO KNOWS! (Well, probably Laxy, the God of Vacation Mayham)
