What else is there?

It is now mid-November and almost all of the big exclusives have been released for every platform. So, if you aren't completely poor from the big four (LittleBigPlanet, Fable 2, Resistance 2, and Gears 2), here is a list of titles that you might want to check out.

-Prince of Persia (PS3, 360, PC)
*I would wait for reviews on this one. It could easily be a sleeper hit, but approaching this game with caution is recommended.

-Sonic Unleashed (PS3, 360, Wii)
*RENT! Sega hasn't done anything good with Sonic since Sonic Adventures on Dreamcast and I fear Sonic Unleashed will be tossed in the pile of crap Sonic titles. But, if you really want to play this, rent it and don't waste your money.

-Left 4 Dead (360, PC)
*This seems like it could be a lot of fun. The gaming industry is starting to realize that gamers don't want to just play against each other, but play with each other. Games like LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War 2, and Resistance 2 have accomplished very well. And it seems like Left 4 Dead will be added to the great co-op titles of 2008. Now, is this game worth the money? I don't know. It seems like a Half-Life 2 mod that you pay 45-55 dollars for, but it could be a lot of fun. So, I'll leave this up to you guys.

-Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii)
*Its the Animal Crossing series. Probably going to be just like the others. So, if you like the old ones, and are feeling bad about your Wii sitting in the corner collecting dust, at least rent this title.

-Tomb Raider: Underworld (PS3, 360, Wii)
*I really don't know much about this title. Playing through the demo made me think of throwing the graphics of Uncharted together with Tomb Raider. The Tomb Raider series has been taking a turn for the worst in the past, but maybe this could be a redeeming title for Lady Croft. I think this is in the same boat as the Prince. Wait for reviews on this one.

-The Last Remnant (360)
*Anything that comes out of Square Enix that isn't Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy is usually mediocre. I'm not a fan of JRPGs, so take my advice on this one with a grain of salt. But I really don't think this is worth a buy. Maybe a rent if you feel like popping in a new JRPG, but not a buy.

Other titles: Need for Speed Underground (Rent. Midnight Club LA and Burnout Paradise are alternatives), Mortal Kombat Vs. DC (Not even worth playing. Wait for SF4)

Ok, now you're broke :)
