I believe it's Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Yes, that's an XD in there. XD

The XD stands for eXtra Dimension. I'll be getting that game soon after it comes out, and Zelda: Twilight Princess for Christmas, at least I'd better...

Yes, LoZ:TP looks good. I hope I'll have the money to buy it when it comes out.

I want Kingdom Hearts two so bad, The Idea of being able to fuse with other party members alone makes me squeal with Joy. let alone everything else that makes the game awesome.

Oh yes.

Jak X: Combat Racing

I know it's just another one of those racing game spin-offs, but I'll be damned if I miss a Jak and Daxter game. That series is so... addictive. The darker side of platforming at it's best

I'm looking forward to The Sims 2: Nightlife. However, current extreme bug issues in University are dampening my spirit quite a bit. A few days ago I finally gave in and got a 3rd-party hack so my Sims could progress properly. *sigh*

I'm also looking forward to Kingdom Hearts 2. One of these days maybe I'll even finish the first one! ^_- I am sooo bad at finishing RPGs. I got to the very last stage of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) about 8 years ago and never finished it, it took me 3 years to finish Final Fantasy VII, a year to finish FFVIII (and technically my bf finished it for me, since I played the game wrong), and I've gotten through 1/4 of FFIX, but that was about 4 years ago. I really like RPGs, I just can't complete them for the life of me!

Did I hear of new DDRs coming out as well? Would definitely like to get that as well. I currently only have DDR Max though. I'd like to get Max 2 and Extreme, but unemployment is making me limit my purchases quite severely. Well, that and being overly frugal anyway. :p

I'm looking forward to the PSP game daxter. Daxter is such a cool charachter and i can't wait to play the game.

Daxter provides the comic relief in the series, but that's about it, in my opinion. Oh, and I'll hand it to him that he also shoots the guns from the vehicles while Jak is driving. But otherwise, Jak > Daxter

true, jak is cooler, but daxter is cool just do to the fact that he can still do alot of stuff even after what jak did to him, by the way daxter also pulls jak up on high ledges

on topic: i'm also looking forward to burnout legends for the psp

one more thing: the jak, and the ratchet games are cool because they're an american company that actually did things rightyes naaughtydog and insomniac are both part of an american company

I prefer Daxter over Jak (I think it's the comic relief/attitude factor) over Jak, but I've always had a slight alignment towards the Ratchet and Clank games. They're both cool, but I'm waiting for the new one to come out. Deadlocked I think? The new Jak game just doesn't appeal to me. >_< (Why'd they have to end it on the third? ;_; [/rhetorical question])

Kugetsu, I'm actually the other way around. I've played RAtchet and Clank 1, 2 and 3, and none of them really have the addictive feeling to keep me playing.

I mean, the first time I played RaC1, I got bored after an hour, and left it for about 2 months, then finally got around to finishing it again. The Jak series just kept me coming back for more.

I think it's just the small things. Like, no loading times (no loading at all actually), the little animations that Daxter does (like shiver when you're in the water), and the overall story and gameplay.

Not to say that the series isn't good, but I still prefer Jak and Daxter.

That Daxter game though... I'll have to check up more about it. No way am I missing a game in this series
