just wondering if you have any pre-order games on your list for this year like
HALO 2
NINJA GAIDEN
FULL SPECTRUM WARRIOR
HALF-LIFE 2

i pre-order NINJA GAIDEN yesterday and i hope comes out good,because i hate spending $50 bucks on crappy games like BRUTE FORCE wich i bought before it got released. how about you?

Well, first of all, Brute Force isn't crappy. Then second one, don't have pre-ordered any.

I also don't believe Brute Force sucked...I just think it didn't live up to the expectations as being "the Halo killer"...of course it didn't...but, the game doesn't suck.

As for pre-orders, I haven't in the last 6 months. I pre-ordered Halo 2 about a year ago (it's paid in full, too :))

I preordered the Suffering since the game looks great and it comes with Midway Classics with the pre-order.

Half-Life 2
Halo 2
Mafia
Ninja Gaiden

And by the way, Brute Force was easily one of the best Releases on Xbox in '03! I thought it rocked!

yeah brute force was a decent game... more run and gun than tactical tho... which was its biggest let down.

anyways... i dont preorder games either.. i wait for the price drops or for used games... yeah yeah i'm cheap like that.

i am just afraid games might turn out bad... but i know halo 2 is a safe bet.

I dont really bother pre-ordering games, working in an independant games shop I just get them from the suppliers before day 1 anyway lol.

I have never pre-ordered any games. I almost preordered ESPN Basbeall 2K5, probably should have with that deal Yankeez hooked us up with.

I've started an envelope with $5 in it last week. Every two weeks (payday) I'll but another $5 in. By the time I've got $50 it it Halo 2 will be released and my wife won't have a fit about how many games I have! (Women....they just don't understand)

I don't like buying games ahead of time because 1. They might bomb, and 2. they might get delayed

I preorder Halo 2 awhile back. I still think that I going to get it a month after it is released. Hopefully they odered enough copies to have all of their reserving customers satisfied.

I haven't preordered a game yet. I was going to preorder Unreal II, but thought, what the hell, I'll just reserve it once it's released since no one around here buys games when they first come out.

i still don't see how people like BRUTE FORCE when it was a big let down game in the end,but that's just my opinion
NOTE:i only played brute force in normal mode for one day,because i returned to EBgames the next day.

Brute Force was all right, but needed to be first person. I've only preordered Halo 2 and The Suffering.

Just got NINJA GAIDEN on pre-order (since last October :rolleyes: ). Just cause I got a killer deal for it (peep da link in siggy).

I will wait on Halo2 until it's official and someone throws in some free-beez!:p

Before Ninja Gaiden da last game I pre-ordered was Splinter Cell from gamestop.com and wat was dat? Over a year and some change ago!

I normally wait to peep da BestBuy, CC, Target, ect ads as they runs specials like 10 Gift Cards and shiii like dat.
I wait and stealth for my game for pimpin ass deals.
naw mean maaaaaaang?


btw, Brute Force does SUCK! :D

Scooped it foe $34.99 summer of last year. Played it foe 15 minutes and knew I waisted my cheese on a 3rd Person Fart!
Biggest.Xbox.Disappointment.EVER!
