    Which one are you going to pick on Tuesday if you got some time from BF3 or MW3?
    Gamespot shows Assassin's Creed: Revelations to release this Tuesday but some other websites has Nov 29, 2011.

    I voted Need 4 Speed ...but only if it's similar to "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" and has controllable police cruisers. I still consider "Hot Pursuit" the best racing game of all time. Playing the police campaign was the most fun I've ever had in the racing game genre.

    It was an exhilarating feeling when playing custom Drum & Bass music while using weapons as well as calling in for back-up (other cruisers and helicopters) in order to catch racers. If you don't own it yet, perhaps it's something to consider over "The Run" :)

    If not, then Assassins Creed :)

    I wouldn't get any of them actually

    Assassin creed is boring cause there are no difficulty setting.
    Need for Speed get worst every installments.
    Saint Row 3 won't last long either.

    ...are there any games you actually do like? All I've ever seen from you in any game thread ever is how terrible every game is.

    I voted for Saints Row: The Third.
    I like games where you can just run around and mess with stuff and it also has a coop mode.
    Doesent hurt that you can make your own character also.

    Already pre-ordered Saints Row: The Third from THQ (for free Season Pass and pre-order DLC you can get anywhere else) few days ago. It's got that over the top troll worthy looking gameplay I admire and I can't wait to play it.

    I would go for SR3. It seems like a lot of fun from the videos. NFS is like COD, same s :D :Dt every year (with the exception of NFS Shift, that one was great) with it's quality suffering.
    AC should be nice too, but you can always grab it a bit later :D.

    if you are an AC fan to begin with, you wouldn't need much prodding to be excited about the new game

    shame you didn't preorder! it was a free upgrade to the special edition

    If you're interested in AC: Revelations or NFS: The Run, i'd wait for the BF deals.

    NFS: The Run
    $29.99 at Best Buy - Friday 12:01AM
    $37 at Target - Friday 12:01AM & Saturday (only PS3 pictured in ad)

    AC Revelations will be $34.99 at Best Buy - Friday 12:01AM

    I've spent entirely too much money on games this month as it is (if I had to do it over again, I would have skipped MW3).

    If I was willing to spend the money, I'd get SR3.

    I would say wait until Black Friday, Gamestop and other retailers are doing lots of very nice deals. blackfriday.info is the site that has them all, I think...

    Honestly, none. My backlog of games is so long that I can afford to wait to buy any new ones (Battlefield 3 was, of course, a much-anticipated exception) until they're either steeply discounted or I simply run out of things to play.

    This.

    I only played the first AC, and it was so linear and boring I couldn't stand it. Go here, kill this go. Oh, and go there kill that guy...Collect this thing.

    Haven't been able to stomach a NFS game since PS1...and still haven't recovered from GT3 (I can only stand using so many hours of my life going around a track).

    There are way too many GTA like games out there, and I didn't even like the GTA series. I grew up in some pretty shady areas, I have no need to feel "gangsta" and "cap" people.

    Glad to see someone else has my opinion. AC series is so overrated and boring. And I was never interested in the GTA like games. I don't have any thoughts about joining the mob or committing crime. Games are an extension of imagination, and that's not what I spend my time imagining. I think that's why I like fantasy RPG games like Witcher/Skyrim so much.

    Also I do not play Ubisoft games, period.

    I already posted about The run but i ll repeat here:
    Its a 4 hour movie-like game with godmode graphics.
    Means you finish it in 4 hours and its kinda hard to loose there as well, its not like other nfs games.

    I wouldnt pay $30+ for it just yet.
