    Add to this list the Age of Empires 3 Complete collection. Comes with AoE 3 and both expansions. Great chance for someone who never played it or heck, someone who never bought the expansions. No price yet, but I'll bet $30.

    Only four more days people! I'm so hyped right now I can't believe it.
    Age of Empires 3 could be worth buying so yeah... you should add it to the list.

    haha yeah I didn't wanna say anything cause the topic was "September 15 will be a great day for PC Gaming!" but I am more hyped for scribblenauts, if any of you guys have a DS and haven't heard about scribblenauts, do take some time and check it out, it's quite unique.

    Will RE5 have mouse support -- aiming with the mouse--? RE4 didnt have mouse support and mods were needed to get the game to an average game. Though the game was amazing, the porting almost ruined the game itself for the PC. I hope they dont make this same mistake again.

    Full mouse and keyboard support . There is an IGN.com review of the game which explains it all . The RE4 port was not handled by Capcom and thats why it was so bad but all Capcom games are now handled in house.

    Ok, so it's here, what has everyone bought!?

    I only got Red Faction so far - preorder @ $40 with the free first two Red Factions, so I bit. Waiting for Shift, Batman, and RE5 to go down in price. Can't justify another $150 in games at the moment. LOL. Hopefully someone will mark one or all of them down to $40 sometime soon.

    I figure Batman has a decent demo that will satisfy me until I get the full game, and will wait to get full feedback on Shift and RE5. Although both seem pretty solid.

    I got Batman: AA free with my GTX275, but haven't downloaded it yet.

    I played it on xbox at a friends house, graphics are nice, but I can't stand the 3rd person view. I'll give it a shot though. :cool:

    picked up Batman, or atleast trying to download ha! Also did the pre-order for Red Faction, but haven't downloaded yet, been trying to get Batman! Dang Steam REALLY should have required that one to have a pre-load.

    I think ALL downloadable games should be a pre-load. Offer it a week before that way it reduces traffic on launch day. Maybe everyone needs a small update to activate or patch it, but better a 10MB file than a 5GB file.

    okay, got both Batman and Red Faction, actually having fun with both.... worked late, but atleast fired both up, both run well on my Asus with the 260m. Now just need to find some free time!

    Def. looks like NFS Shift is a must buy too though!
