    Looking forward to fuel, Street Fighter 4, Red Faction: Guerrilla, and Dirt 2 :D

    Not too many games this summer, but I'm happy about that :eek:

    The reason is that I have a whole load of older games still waiting to be played/completed that I now have a chance to get onto
    (think FEAR, Doom 3, Assassin's Creed, Quake 4, Warhead, Dirt)

    So not a very exciting summer in terms of releases, but I have a lot too keep me busy :D

    Nothing on that list looks too interesting to me. Kind of a bum summer for gaming if you ask me.

    Yay ghostbusters, I loved the movies when I was a kid and this game looks pretty good with nice graphics.

    Ghostbusters actually is getting decent reviews. If there is a demo, I might have to give it a try. I loved the original movie too. So odd but well done with some good A-list actors that were just on their way to stardom at the time.

    I just hope they aren't as bad as the old school games.

    I'm looking to pick up Overlord 2, the first was worth what I paid to play it. I'll probably end up with the US version to play with this August.
