  • Depends on how good they turn out. Watching Infinite and ACIII, most likely Infinite for sure, not convinced on anything.
  • And I thought nothing would compare to Fall '11 ...

    I'm no longer going to eat lunch or dinner.
  • I'm undecided on Bioshock Infinite, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, and Borderlands 2, but Resident Evil 6 and Assassin's Creed are a definite for me.

    Edit: Added Halo 4 to the list of preordered games.
  • FC3 and AC3, can't wait any longer!
  • Mod
    Bioshock Infinite, Assassin's Creed III, and Halo 4 for sure. My most anticipated games of this year so far.

    Maybe Borderlands 2 depending on how they address the issues I had with the first and such. Resident Evil 6 will be a rental. Not paying $60 after RE 5.
  • Borderlands 2, then Bioshock: Infinite, then Assassin's Creed III.
  • Bioshock and AC3!! I'll be there at midnight
  • Might be spending even more money this fall than last fall on video games, which is bloody insane!
  • Compared to last year, there aren't many fall releases I'm really interested in getting.
  • Bioshock: Infinite and Assassin's Creed 3 Freedom Edition I'm getting at launch. And Halo 4, Borderlands 2, and whatever other big games come out I'll be getting later.
  • The Witcher 2, Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, and Assassin's Creed 3 are the only must haves for me this year.
  • I want ALL the games!
  • its gonna be another one of those kinda falls again. atleast we will have too much to play and not too little

  • Never played Borderlands, but I'm definitely buying AC3 and Halo 4.
  • Well I better get a job, pronto!
  • I've already pre-ordered Borderlands 2 on day one and Medal of Honor, but I'm still eagerly awaiting the release date announcement for Halo 4.
  • Infinite, FC3, then it's a toss up between AC3 and Borderlands 2. I'm going to have a buy a new controller as well.
