Well folks, simply put, what new games are you folks gonna buy before this year's out?
mine are all on 360 since my PC's beginning to show its age.
Halo 3
Mass Effect
Ace Combat 6
........... a 360 or a ps3. I'm behind the curve. :<

Like Solitaire, Minesweeper and Freecell? :U
Having already finished Bioshock (PC) and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption (Wii), the only new games that I'm really looking forward to (that are actually on the way this year, AFAIK) are:
Legend Of Zelda Phantom Hourglass (DS)
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
1. .hack//GU vol. 3: Redemption (PS2) <--WANT THIS SOOOOO BAD. D:
2. Eternal Sonata (XBox 360)
As for my PSP, I dunno. I just got Daxter recently...
Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)(if it's out this year)
Metroid prime 3 (Wii)
Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS)
Super paper Mario (Wii)
Sin and Punishment (Wii Virtual Console)
Anything with light-saber(-like) action on the Wii.
And that's just off the top of my head.
I really hope the game developers get to grips with the Wii controller soon. It's potential for amazing and immersive gameplay are amazing, but the potential for bad gameplay and evil money-grabbing screw-ups is also great.

They did an awesome job of that with Metroid Prime 3. You'll know what I mean when you get it.

Super Smash Bros Brawl

You should be a toolbox (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/13) like the rest of us. I've played all my Wii games from start to finish in my chair, just waving the remote like a... well... like a remote.
When I build my new computer, I'll get these... eventually.
PC:
Half-Life 2: Orange Box (wish the Black Box was still an option)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
F.E.A.R.
World in Conflict
Titan Quest
Neverwinter Nights 2
C&C3 Expansion
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Bioshock
Sam & Max Episodes
Oblivion
Consoles:
Halo 3
Mass Effect
Beautiful Katamari
Super Paper Mario
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Borthers
Burnout Paradise
I considered Orange Box, but all I want is Episode 2.
Also, Clive Barker's Jericho is coming out soon (I'll be getting it on GameTap after it officially comes out, they did the same for Overlord) and it seems to look pretty good and scary.
What I'm anticipating at the moment isn't a new game per-se...
Final Fantasy Tactics, the original game, is coming out on PSP next month :boogie
I will actually be getting a system for the expres purpose of playing a single game, which is not something I do often. I'm, of course, looking for other games to justify the expense.
I'm also looking forward to Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, which has its closed beta going on right now.
What I'm anticipating in the next 12 months:
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)- (Only Getting it because of the original rondo and symphony)
GTA IV
Tony hawks proving ground
My GP2X :)
I picked up my copy of Zelda for the DS last night. I'm slightly disappointed in it though, in that it picks up immediately after Windwaker. And you have to use the stylus for everyting... fighting, moving, picking things up... it's got a bit of a learning curve to it.
Back on topic... American McGee's Grimm is coming out soon as well as Sam 'n Max Episode 2.

And you want Portal.
... No, don't talk back, you WANT PORTAL. TRUST ME.
And as long as you're getting those TWO games, you can just buy the Orange Box for the same price and get TF2 on the side.
Yeah I do want Portal. I guess I'll have to break down and buy Orange Box. I'll just get it on Steam.
EDIT: Hah ha! Purchased Portal and HL2 Ep2 separately for a bit less than Orange Box.
