Posted by Rotnac - November 10, 2008 at 4:58 PM

Edited by fishmicmuffin - November 10, 2008 at 4:59 PM

I'm dropping more cash this week.

YESSSSS... College kid budget is always fun to deal with! Especially with a lot of good games coming out!

Posted by Snoopy - November 10, 2008 at 5:00 PM

so many games such little cash............bummer

Posted by DarkPants - November 10, 2008 at 5:00 PM

haha you're making me hungry

Posted by Psynapse - November 10, 2008 at 5:01 PM

If i had cash to drop... yes... but no... i spent it all on a giant mayor mccheese head...

Posted by sdauz - November 10, 2008 at 5:03 PM

most of the best games r already out

Posted by albedos_shadow - November 10, 2008 at 5:04 PM

Oh god, please make it stop...

Posted by Tarsier - November 10, 2008 at 5:12 PM

The only game that looks interesting to me on that list is Mirror's Edge. And I will probably just be renting that.

Posted by Godzilla_Sushi - November 10, 2008 at 5:13 PM

I pre-ordered my Banjo off Amazon after playing the demo. It's going to turn a lot of people off....but not me! :)

Plus, maybe the best value for a pre-order this year, at the least.

Posted by mikevanpwn - November 10, 2008 at 5:14 PM

Wait... Animal Crossing is out this week!?

Posted by artfan - November 10, 2008 at 5:21 PM

I need a legend to determine all the "in between" enthusiasm ratings. Are you "meh" on Mirror's Edge? Does Roast Pork Fried Rice rank above BBQ Spare Ribs? We require gastronomic evaluational satisfaction, Vinny!

Posted by MasterSplinter - November 10, 2008 at 5:27 PM

I'm still tearing at "broken fortune cookie" for Rock Revolution. HA

I'm certainly looking forward to Mirror's Edge, World at War, and MK v DC Universe... and Chinese food.

Posted by spiceninja - November 10, 2008 at 5:28 PM

I'm getting Banjo Kazooie this week.

Posted by Meteora - November 10, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Ah shit, too many good games. I'm getting World at War and maybe Mirror's Edge. Probably gonna get World of WarCraft: Lich King.

Posted by AgentWhiskersX2 - November 10, 2008 at 5:34 PM

Mirror's Edge looks so tempting. I don't know whether to get this or Valkyria Chronicles.

Posted by JJOR64 - November 10, 2008 at 5:34 PM

I'm getting Banjo and Animal Crossing.

Posted by zoozilla - November 10, 2008 at 5:40 PM

I definitely want Wonton Soup and White Rice. Also, Greasy Egg Roll and BBQ Spare Ribs seem worth checking out.

Then again, you never know with these seedy Chinese restaurants...

Posted by DragoonKain1687 - November 10, 2008 at 5:43 PM

Where is valkyria Chronicles???

Posted by Media_Master - November 10, 2008 at 5:47 PM

Another good week, Mirrors Edge hopefully will be good!

Posted by kboy - November 10, 2008 at 5:48 PM

Mmm...Wonton Soup and Rice. Yummy analogy for a game that I have high expectations for.

Posted by TabooTongue - November 10, 2008 at 5:49 PM

I'll be getting Animal Crossing and MKvsDC.
Get outta here with your New York Chinese food, Bay Area chino FTW!
Thousand or so miles closer too.

Posted by Ice_Cold_Rayman - November 10, 2008 at 5:56 PM

I'm picking up my Banjo pre-order, that's about it.

Posted by RHCPfan24 - November 10, 2008 at 5:58 PM

I will take the BBQ Spare Ribs and a Wonton Soup and White Rice to go (on 12/25).

Posted by Stealthoneill - November 10, 2008 at 6:02 PM

Im getting World at War and then maybe Banjo at some point!

Posted by yellownumber5 - November 10, 2008 at 6:07 PM

thank you vinny, i'm hungry now.

Posted by LordAndrew - November 10, 2008 at 6:13 PM

Unlike you, I did order Eternal Poison.
It should be arriving in December with my sweet Persona 4 goodies.

Posted by John - November 10, 2008 at 6:14 PM

Im all over that Greasy Egg Roll!

Posted by Milkman - November 10, 2008 at 6:18 PM

I love you, Vinny.

Posted by WholeFunShow - November 10, 2008 at 6:31 PM

I'll bet you'd wished you hadn't started that food analogues thing about 2/3s the way through....

Posted by GioVANNI - November 10, 2008 at 6:48 PM

I love Cheese Fried Wontons.

Posted by killawogg - November 10, 2008 at 7:00 PM

yup im getting mirror's edge and COD WaW and mortal kombat for a sunday afternoon

Posted by MayorMcCheese - November 10, 2008 at 7:40 PM

Its okay

Posted by TomA - November 10, 2008 at 8:08 PM

Mirror's Edge is all that interests me,i'll probably just rent that though.The only worthwhile games this holiday were Fable 2 and Gears,and Gears will last for months for me(online only)

Posted by Junpei - November 10, 2008 at 8:15 PM

I'm actually interested in Eternal Poison.... course that may just be the Atlus fan in me....

And who knew Mayor McCheese was a woman....

Posted by dagas - November 10, 2008 at 8:37 PM

A few interesting games, but nothing that gives me that "I GOTTA HAVE THAT!" feeling =P I'll live without them.

Posted by holybuttmonkey - November 10, 2008 at 8:42 PM

WTF is Tales of Symphonia???????????????/

Posted by calf_exercises - November 10, 2008 at 8:52 PM

is compairing something to a greasy egg roll a good thing or a bad thing?

Posted by Coldbrand - November 10, 2008 at 9:03 PM

Fuck yes Petz Horsez Club!

Posted by Kyle - November 10, 2008 at 10:44 PM

Banjo, Mirror's Edge, and WotLK. Must-buys for me.

Posted by ahoodedfigure - November 11, 2008 at 1:16 AM

The Mayor has never looked so huggable.

And:

GO GENERAL TSO! Conquer them with your mighty animal armies!

I think I get the joke on the Tofu, seeing as saying "chicken" would freak out the chicken animals in the forest.

Posted by masternater27 - November 11, 2008 at 1:38 AM

This story is the reason I come to giantbomb, thank you Vinny.

Posted by ratzombie - November 11, 2008 at 1:54 AM

DAMN YOU VINNY!!!! *shakes fist*

Posted by sdodd02 - November 11, 2008 at 3:59 AM

Posted by sloppyjoe - November 11, 2008 at 5:04 AM

That food sounds so much better than the games

Posted by get2sammyb - November 11, 2008 at 5:28 AM

Mirrors Edge for me.

Edited by Driam - November 11, 2008 at 5:50 AM

So how come Tales of symphonia 2 isn't on that list? ...but Rock Revolution is?

"You guys hate the wii, YOU GUYS HATE THE WII, HUH?"

Posted by Venatio - November 11, 2008 at 6:56 AM

Posted by dtran1212 - November 11, 2008 at 7:31 AM
