A list of games coming out this Fall that I want in order of release date:
Dark Souls
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Collector's Edition
Sonic Generations
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, and Peace Walker)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
All in all, 500 dollars worth of games. Thank God for preordering where I can chip away at the total over time.
Any other games coming out this fall that anyone's looking forward to?
Well damn, color me oblivious, I didn't know there was a Collector's Edition of Uncharted 3. That one I'm looking forward to more than any other so I am most definitely going to look into the CE.
Here's a picture of the Collector's Edition:

I need to go to Prog Power and that's $110. Wouldn't miss it for the world, though.
I'm looking forward to the Heart of the Swarm expansion for Starcraft II, although I'm not sure when it'll be coming out, might not even be this year :S
I believe Star Fox 64 3D is coming out next month.
Xenoblade Chronicles came out in Europe yesterday, and we in North America are still waiting for it. :(
Gosh darn it, I need to get a PS3 so I can play all of those Ratchet and Clank games I missed...
The good thing about the PS3 Ratchet & Clank games is the continuity in them. They mostly focus on both Ratchet & Clank's origins.
This one:

Actually ranks as my second favorite in the series, right behind Going Commando.
I still love the Ratchet and Clank game with Courtney Gears (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4SsMtmcf4w). Up Your Arsenal, I think?
Yeah, that's my favorite.
I didn't know you liked the Ratchet and Clank games, too, Tach! That's awesome!
And yes, Up Your Arsenal is my absolute favorite from the PS2 era. They added so much. ...Even though the lack of good Internet support for the PS2 (mainly ISP-related) made it so I couldn't play multiplayer online. >_>
But anywho, I bought a PS3 online today, as well as all the PS3 ones. Those should be coming in a few days. MY BODY IS READY.

Wow, Nintendo must have something against America.
I'm sure it's just Nintendo of America that's being the ornery one, not Nintendo in general.

Make sure to buy Quest for Booty between Tools of Destruction and Crack in Time. It's only on the Playstation Network and it bridges the gap between the two larger games.
Only on PSN? I could've sworn the one I bought was a physical copy. :-\ Eh, I guess I'll find out as soon as it comes in.
I know they made a blu-ray version for Europe only. There was never any physical release of Quest for Booty.
It's only a scant 4-5 hours long, but it sets up the beginning of Crack in Time.
I'm well aware of the length and its placement in the timeline (as it was revealed at E3 2008, I believe; hard to believe it's been that long!). Huh, I wonder if this means I'm getting an import. ...I didn't know Amazon did imports. Eh, it may just be a code that'll let me get it on PSN or something, but I don't know if even that was sold. What the heck is Amazon sending me!? D:
Well, time to tack on another 40 dollars to my cost. Assassin's Creed Revelations Collector's Bundle was just announced.
Looking forward to Starfox 3DS and Dead Island.
They're both gonna be epic.
There is only one thing I want this year. I will kill for this, and am fine with it being the ONLY present I get.
That thing is the special edition of Skyward Sword. With a special Wiimotion Plus. But mostly the soundtrack CD.
gosh...
skyward sword comes out november 20th. thats like when college people are supposed to start studying for finals!? whyyyyyyyy :[
Only 70 dollars for the bundle as opposed to 50 for just the game? I'm all for it. That's a hell of a deal.
Isn't it though?!?!?
I think my family can afford it.
No idea how, but I made a huge error with the cost of my games. The original number of 500 I gave was before I decided to get the Skyward Sword Bundle and the Assassin's Creed bundle.
So it turns out I was off by 110 dollars. With the addition of the aforementioned games, NOW it comes up to 500 dollars.
Wow, Gamefreak, you were right! Turns out it did end up being an import! I beat it, however, and it was surprisingly good for being advertised as short. Well, yeah, it still was short, but it successfully made it...actually quite creepy for a R&C game. It really did feel a bit like a third-person version of Metroid at times (specifically the Phazon Mines and Bryyo).
Also, A Crack in Time is freaking amazing.
Ah I'm really looking forward to Skyrim and Assassin's Creed, and I'd like to get Skyward Sword.
However in less than a month I will become an impoverished Uni student so I don't know if I can stretch to more than one or two!
But at least it means I'll be away until Christmas so i won't be able to buy/play them till late December when I get home so I'm hoping the price may have dropped a little :)
I'm not that bothered about Collector's editions though unless it's something I really love, I'll definitely be getting the Mass Effect 3 one in Spring though, but that gives me time to save up!

Isn't it? Like I said, it's definitely near the top of my Ratchet & Clank list.
