I..don't know. I'm starting (finally) to work through my backlog. So far I finished MGS4 and Bioshock, and now I got back to Half Life 2. 

Maybe PunchOut, Uncharted 2 and Bioshock 2, but it'll pass quite some time before I pick those up.

Don't know if I am getting Golf for Motion Plus or Tennis...

...both or neither...

I'll need to read more previews!

As for the WiiWare games, Cave Story and Contra are definites, I just have no idea when they are coming! I thought Cave Story was supposed to be out already...?

As much as I am loving Valkyria Chronicles and Super Robot Taisen. Sakura Wars is probably going to be an immediate purchase too!

Leo wait for reviews when it comes to the Tennis games. Wii have Virtua Tennis and Grandslam Tennis that are so close in terms of quality. There is no telling which will be the better one. The grudge match of 2009. 

Tiger Woods is a must buy, the last years version was already the best golf games in ages according to reviews. This one has Motionplus, so a no brainer. I am going to buy it and I do not even like golf.

I can't even begin to answer the topic, but I'll say something relevant. I'm leaning toward upgrading my computer instead of getting a 360, so the following list consists of must-buy PC games up to, and after, the point at which I upgrade.
(These lists are mostly just a rearrangement of the list I made of 360 games in my thread, but with several additions.)

Bioshock 2
Crysis + Crysis Warhead
Dead Space
Dead Space 2 (which I hear is probably coming sometime)
The Elder Scrolls: Arena (the first game, available for free download on the TES website)
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (the second game, rare and damn expensive)
The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (I MUST complete Oblivion!)
Fallout 3 + DLC
GTA IV (ok, Rockstar needs to add the 360 DLC SOMETIME, especially since both are MS platforms)
Half-Life 2: Episode 3
Left 4 Dead (best on PC, I'm guessing, as far as finding people online for multiplayer in the future)
RE5
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
The Witcher 2

These next ones I'd also really like--they aren't just "they look interesting" games. The list includes some that aren't out yet, and these are ones I'm not completely comfortable putting in the above list yet.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
CoD4
Doom 4
Fallout: New Vegas
Gears of War (dammit, the second one needs to come to PC sometime, as well)
Mass Effect
Prince of Persia
Rage

And finally, ones that I'm more indifferent toward, but which I'd definitely play. Some, like Alan Wake and Batman, I have no idea about the quality of--those particular examples, as well as a few others, I anticipate ascending to one of my other two lists sometime.

Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut
Assassin's Creed 2
Alan Wake
Alone in the Dark
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Far Cry 2
FEAR + Extraction Point, Perseus Mandate expansions
FEAR 2
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
Lost Planet 2
Mirror's Edge
Overlord
Overlord 2
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
Street Fighter 4 (yeah, it's down here because I've never been into traditional fighters)

The last three lists were each in alphabetical order, but the lists as wholes were in order of preference, given my current knowledge of the games. The following two lists have the same internal order, but not external--i.e. I'm not sure where I'd put the following games in order of preference if they were mingled with the above lists.

DS games:

GTA: Chinatown Wars
Pokemon Gold/Silver remakes

GC games:

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
REmake
RE2
Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike

I'm leaning more towards Golf right now.  The video previews for it look really impressive.  They may have created the best golf game of all time, and while I'm not a huge fan I do try to grab one golf game per gen.

WiiWare games are tough to schedule because Nintendo juggles the launch dates up until the month it is released.  Cave Story looks like it's getting a Q3 release.  Since it's so close to being done I suspect it'll be in July or August.  Contra was only just announced so I suspect it will hit around late summer/early fall.

I think i'll probably get a game or two from my birthday, so I definitely won't be buying anything this month! Fuckign FIFA has really put me behind when it comes to games, but at least I've finally (Sad) got Burnout out of the way.

My jaw dropped seeing that image.  Holy crap, my games radar is broken, how did this slip through. Thanks for the heads up.
