Fallout 3 is gonna be my second "day one-er", and only a week later! hopefully i can play the crap out of Fable II for those seven days or i'm gonna have a real quandary on my hands, juggling the two titles at once.
surprisingly (at least, to me), i'm not very excited at all for Gears of War 2. i'm certain i'll play it, and i'm certain i'll enjoy it, but i'm much more interested in the new and immersive worlds offered by just about every other game coming out this holiday; i'm not that pumped to play through something that looks so similar to its predecessor. further, if GoW2's story is as "deep" as the first, i'll have forgotten it shortly after i complete it.[/quote]
I'd get Fallout 3 day one, but with Fable II, there is no way I will have time to play such a massive game. However, I loved Oblivion so I will eventually have to get it when I have some time.
As for Gears 2, I am thinking of getting it. I still think Gears 1 was great. However, Gears 2 doesn't seem to offer anything new that gets me excited. I could probably play Gears 1 over again and have just as much fun (I've only played through it once). I'd almost just get it at launch due to its hype. Then again, if I did that, I'd be buying 10 games in the next month...
