Can’t help but sign up for a new account for something this big…most looking forward to Elder Scrolls (Gotta love them RPG’s)...and least looking forward to Dead or Alive 4…because I’ve never been any good at fighting games…except clay fighter, of course.

1. Elder Scrolls IV - I just can’t wait. After winning this contest, I’ll plug my new xBox360 put this game inside and play till the xBox360 is there’s no juice left in my wireless controllers. The graphics i saw on this game previews is superb and add to this the memories i have from the previous Elder Scrolls and you left with a winner
2. Tiger Woods 2006 - Another Golf game?! *Yawn*. Upon winning this contest (and i will), I’ll probably use this game as a coffee cup holder

Most excited about:
Perfect Dark Zero. I was an absolute fanatic for Goldeneye 007 on N64 so naturally when Perfect Dark was release I was immediately hooked. There has never been a game before or since PD that has kept me engrossed as long as it did. My friends and I played PD for at least a year after its release. I can’t wait to play a next-generation version of this game.
Least excited about:
Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the early Tony Hawk games, but don’t you think it’s been played out a little bit? Tony Hawk’s Underground offered more of a storyline and some new features, but its replay value was significantly low. Sure it was fun, but how different from the older titles was it? I would like to play Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland, but would I buy it? No.

Looking forward to the most:
Perfect Dark Zero, I think that first person shooters just “Rock You Like A Hurricane”!
Looking forward to the least:
Madden 2006, Any real gamer knows that 2k sports games make EA games look and play like a 90 year old womans elbow!

Lookin forward to Perfect Dark, Im all about FPS, and the n64 one was fun
Also to a lesser extent doa4, its not a great fighting game, but still way better then Mortal Kombat, so I’d play doa simply for the online aspect. But basically a pretty terrible fighting game compared to Soul Calibur/Virtua Fighter/Tekken
Least looking forward to the two golf games….I mean….golf…..Tiger Woods = the lose
And I checked my profile in every place 10 times, I had no sync magazine stuffs

Not that I have $$$$ to drop on this system BUT the game I’m looking forward the most would be RidgeRacer 6 and the least is NHL 2K6.

The game i am least looking forward would be Tony’s Hawk American Westland. For do respect to Tony and his greatness, i don’t see how this game is nex-gen. The graphical and the gameplay is basically the same, or just a little bit polish then it’s predecssor. Just by watching the trailers and see how the graphic looks is not even close as to what the xbox 360 powered house can do. So therefore, this would be my least game in the bundle.
The game that i most anxiously awaiting and looking forward in the bundle would be Project Gothem Racing. It’s not because i am a big fan of racing game, it is because of the amazing looking graphic unlike anything i seen in a video game. Very photolism and has that unique feel to it in the genre racing. It’s obvious to see how the graphic engine is use in the game can compete against the Unreal Engine 3. It’s just wow me when i first saw the Gothem TV trailers. Folks, this is what a nex-gen game should look like and this is how xbox 360 will be the top of the market.
So definitlely one of my top pick and formost in the bundle, it’s undoubtly the best looking xbox 360 game to date or as of this year. Thank you and i hope i win!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the xbox 360 omega contest Iam interested in quake 4 because it’s not just the graphics that look apealing it is like in the same uiverse as the doom series, Iam a big survival, fps shooter horror fan, it’s games like that
that create an atmosphere of what I heard developers call “water cooler moments”. The least favorite game I would get is tiger woods pga tour 06 because I like games in general that are scary, fun, not boring.

1) Which game are you looking forward to the most in this bundle?
The game I am most looking forward to is PGR 3, because its always been a sweet racing game and the graphics on it are stellar. I love the kudos system and can’t wait to get my hands on Microsofts next gen racer.
2) Which game are you looking forward to the least in this bundle?
Kameo Elements of Power, mostly because I’m not into the role-playing action games so much. And its voted least likely for me to even open it. Although I do have hope and respect for the game, Its just not for me.

I am looking forward to Need for Speed: Most Wanted the most. I have always like the Need for Speed games especially the ones with the police in them.
I am looking forward to Top Spin 2 the least because I don’t like to watch it on TV and it seems like it would be even more boring to play it

<b> The game I am most looking forward to in the Bundle is <i>Need for Speed Most wanted</i>, reason being I really like the Need for Speed franchise they always make you feel behind the wheel, and the upcoming title for the XBox 360 looks awesome.
The game I least looking forward to in the bundle would have to be <i>Tiger Woods 2006</i>, reason being I really dislike golf, I hate watching it, and I hate it when my dad play it. </b>

1. I am most excited about perfect dark. I had perfect dark on n64 and man…. i played that all day, probably wasted half of my middle school life on that. With the xbox graphics and surround sound, what more can you ask for?
2. I am the least excited about NHL 2K6 because I don’t like hockey. the sport itself is boring. The only time its not boring is when there’s a fight. Hockey might work for someone else, but not me.

The XBOX 360 game that I look forward to is Madden 2006. I love football and I have heard a lot of good reviews about it. I have been tempted to rent this game many times but decided against it just in case I win the prize.
The game I am least looking forward to is Tiger Woods 2006. With any of these sports games, it would help if you like the sport, understand it and play it. I do neither one of those.

Game I’m most looking forward to: Kameo
Reason: Most of Rare’s 3d platformers have been disappointing, but for some reason this one looks like it might be interesting.
Game I’m least looking forward to: Tiger Woods 2006.
Reason: Not big on sports games in general, but golf? Mark Twain once called Golf “a good walk spoiled”. And now we have simulated, high-res, indoor golf. I’m surprised Mr. Clemens hasn’t risen from the grave just to shoot himself in the head.

1.) the game i am looking forward to most is perfect dark i used to play that game for hours upon hours back on the old n64 and i cant wait until i play it with new graphics
2.) the game the least i am looking forward to is tiger woods because although i play golf i just dont think it is much fun on a concole

1) I would have to say the game in this bundle I’m looking most forward to is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
because I played Morrowind and it was an exellent game also the screen shots I have seen of it are beautiful.
2) The game I’m looking forward to the least is probably Condemned, it does look like a good game good graphics too but its just not the kind of game I’m into, I don’t really like horror games.

Thie game i look forward most is Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland. I have always been a skating fan.

1) Which game are you looking forward to the most in this bundle?
Perfect Dark. Why? Very much looking forward to the Next gen graffics and all I play are first person shooters. Looks quite intense!!!
2) Which game are you looking forward to the least in this bundle?
Top Spin 2. I’m not a tennis fan at all.
Thanks.

MOST: Ghost Recon
LEAST: NBA2K6 pro bball sucks
Reply to this: comment | thread
Forgot to tell you why for the above post
Most: Ghost Recon, cause there’s nothing like the feel of putting one in the head and two in the chest!!!
Least: NBA2K6, cause NBA ball players are a bunch of hoodlums with overinflated ego’s.
Thank you to Gear Live for puttin’ up such a sweet bundle for some of us po’ folk to have a chance at winning.

1) The games I’m most looking forward to in this bundle are “Perfect Dark Collector’s Edition” and “Quake 4”. I know there is a lot of hype for Perfect Dark so I wanna see what that is all about. As for Quake, the last time I played Quake was when the original came out for PC, I have fond memories of LAN parties fragging all my buds.
2) The game I’m looking forward to the least is NBA 2K6 because I regularly get my ass handed to me in basketball games.

Im most looking forward to Quake 4, I mean, who doesnt love a good FPS game especialy with awsome graphics.
The game im least looking forward to is NBA 2k6, im just not a big basketball fan

Hey fellas,
The one game I am most excited about in this bundle would be Perfect Dark. I lost friends and my junior high school years to the N64 game. I am so willing to loose my last semester of college to the 360 version!
The game I am least interested in would be Dead or Alive 4; the previous game wasn’t as impressive as Soul Caliber on the XBOX.

Looking forward to Perfect Dark most of all. About time Rare redeemed themselves…
Not really looking forward to any of the sport games, Tiger Woods probably least of all.

1) The Game i am mostly looking forward to is Need for speed: most wanted. i think its going to be amazing with the graphics and all plus the a good NFS game hasnt come out in a while.
2)the game i am least looking forward to the most in the bundle is tiger woods golf, because i am not that much of a golf guy. not that its a bad sport, its more fun to play in real life.

1) I am looking forward to playing project gotham racing 3 because I enjoy racing games.
2) I not looking forward to Tony Hawk because I will waste way to much time playing it.

1. What I’m looking forward to the most: Probably a tie, Condemned looks really interesting, but I have a feeling it will scare the be-jesus out of me, I have tried to play games like that in the dark, and I last about one jumpy moment before I yell out.
The second choice, Kameo… the major reason why I’ve never BOUGHT an XBOX is because the games weren’t “cute” enough for me… you could blame my girlyness, but I’d rather TOTALLY escape from reality, rather than just go to a more violent reality… I think the idea is really interesting, and according to its description, you’ll be able to explore. I LOVE that.
2. The game I’m LEAST looking forward to… NHL 2K6… why, you ask? Well, my fiancé here is a hockey nut. When he’s not watching hockey, he plays hockey… so, he would likely dominate the XBOX time by playing this game.
If I had to pick a game that I would not like to play simply because I wouldn’t LIKE it… I would choose Madden NFL 2006. I cannot for the life of me, get the hang of Football games. Although this looks pretty, I know I’d stink at it.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the game I’m looking foward to playing.
Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland is least favorite.
Reply to this: comment | thread
The game that I’m probably looking forward to most would have to be Perfect Dark Zero. Not because of all the hype. It just looks like a great game and I hope it is even better than it’s predecessor on the N64.
All of the games look great but if I had to choose a game that I would least want, it would have to be Kameo. Not because it’s a bad game but compared the other Xbox 360 releases, it does not really interest me as much.
Reply to this: comment | thread
1) I am looking forward to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, because I love RPG games.
2) I not looking forward to Tony Hawk because I dont like playing that kin of game.
Reply to this: comment | thread
1) I’m most looking forward to Kameo and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Kameo because it’s been a long time coming for a good rare game and I think they’re due. Oblivion because I had so much fun with Daggerfall and Morrowind, and can’t wait to do it all over again with new content and graphics.
2) Ugh, you can leave those sports games right out of the bundles, especially those with the years in them. Madden 2006? Tiger Woods 2006? Am I the ONLY one who hasn’t grown bored to tears with the same rehash of gameplay year after year with minor cosmetic changes?

Most looking forward to Quake 4, but none too interested in NHL 2K6.
Reply to this: comment | thread
1) I’m looking forward to Tony Hawk American Wasteland, that is a game I can just play with my friends and have some fun.
2) Quake 4, I dont think its very interesting, it looks like any other shooter out there and I’m tired of shooters now.
Reply to this: comment | thread
The game I am most looking forward to is PGR 3. This series has already surpassed GT and any other racing sim and the graphical upgrade the xbox 360 gives it just makes it even more amazing. The game I am least looking forward to is Quake 4. FPS games just aren’t the same on consoles as on the PC.
Plus monsters scare me

1) The game i’m looking forward to the most is Perfect Dark Zero, been waiting for this ever since it was supposed to be released for GC & i’m sure it’ll be as addicting as the original Perfect Dark.
2) The game i’m least looking foward to is NHL 2K6, i’ve never been a fan of hockey games.

I am most looking forward to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I love the Elder Scrolls series I played the computer game, I got the xbox just to play Elder Scrolls! I know its not as normal for a girl to be such an avid role playing fan but I can’t help it! I love to kick my guy friends’ butts!
The game I am least looking forward to is Tiger Woods 2006…no offense just not a video golf fan….
Love you guys!

1) I am really looking forward to Frame City Killer. It might be just a hunch but I think it will be a big hit in the months to come. Once more news gets out about this hidden gem, it will cause a mass number of fanboys to foam at the mouth with awe.
2) The game I am least excited about is Project Gotham Racing 3. While I played, I never really took a liking to the kudos system but don’t get me wrong I am an avid fan of racing games.
Burnout is an addiction!
Friends don’t let friends play Burnout.

1) Which game are you looking forward to the most in this bundle? I am most looking forward to Call Of Duty 2. I have been a big fan of first person shooters in general. I also love WWII based games. This is the perfect combo for me. All of the COD games have sucked me right in.
2) Which game are you looking forward to the least in this bundle? Tiger Woods 2006. Not that I don’t like Tiger Woods the play. I just don’t like golf in general, so this will probably be my least favorite game. I guess golf is just boring to me.
Reply to this: comment | thread
Wow, that’s a big bundle.
1) I’m looking forward to Quake 4 most. There’s nothing better than a good FPS.
2) Not really looking forward to NHL 2k6. Let’s just say I didn’t miss anything when the season was canceled.

Wow. Am I late?
The game I am most looking forward to has got to be Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. These days long winded RPGs have been passed up in favor for the new hip genre “Action-RPGs”. I for one enjoy endless hours of gameplay compared to the measly 15-20 hours most games take these days (including RPGs which don’t take much longer). I remember having to upgrade my computer just so I could get Morrowind to run smoothly ... but boy was it worth it. Oblivion will hopefully continue the great Elder Scrolls series.
The gaming I am least looking forward to is Need For Speed: Most Wanted. The series has not improved much through the various iterations. A street racer is a street racer. Just like Madden is Madden. Too bad NFS doesn’t have the mechanics and complexity Madden has, so it doesn’t get too old too quick. An upgrade in graphics is not something I would get overly excited about, although that would certainly be very welcome. I’d like to see EA add some variety. New environments? Simulation-like controls ... in addition to arcade controls. Mix in the old NFS environments maybe. I’d love to see EA mix it up, but so far, NFS: Most Wanted is my least anticipated game.

I’m am jonesing for Project Gotham 3! This game looks to be the killer nextgen racer we hoped GT4 and Forza would be. Those were great games, but I am expecting something special from PG3 this Christmas!
The game I am least excited about in the bundle is Elder Scrolls IV. These days I am strictly a sports gamer, and this game does not appeal to me.
Sports games are where it’s at! This is evident by the fact that there are 8 sports games in that Omega bundle. I can feel the excitement building already!!
Good luck to…. ME!!!

1) Which game are you looking forward to the most in this bundle?
After seeing the preview of Ghost Recon 3 I have decided to choose it as my most anticipation game from this bundle. From the preview I saw a great fusion of strategy and combat. The overall improvements in communication with your team I believe bring the game to a different level for the Ghost Recon series. I have played the Ghost Recon games addictively and from the new previews of the game I can only speculate but I believe it’s going to be great
2) Which game are you looking forward to the least in this bundle?
Call of Duty from what I see from the trailer seems more like army men than a realistic WWII sim. It’s just not the game but the over popularization of the WWI and WWII era, you can have only so many WWI I games.
Well can’t wait until Xbox comes out.

The game I am most looking forward to is Dead or Alive 4. This is because it is my favorite fighting game series.
The game I am least looking forward to is NBA 2K6. I do not like sports games, so this game isn’t on my list of games to be excited about.

sync: I don’t have the option in my profile but it might be because I already signed up for it and put my address a long time ago. Cool magazine BTW guys…get it, it’s free and very cool.
1. The game I am most looking forward to would probably be Call of Duty 2…though many of them are going to be kickass. I loved the first Call of Duty and have read some great things about this new one. Can’t wait for this game though.
2. The game I am least looking forward to would probably be Tiger Woods 2006. Not too much of a sports game fan unless I have a bunch of friends over and golf just isn’t a big “party game”. But I can’t imagine wanting to play it alone and WHEN I win this bundly, I will probably sell that game on ebay heheh
. Jk…well kind of lol…
Awesome givaway BTW!

1) Which game are you looking forward to the most in this bundle?
Probably Dead or Alive 4, I love that game for obvious reasons! I love fighting games! (thats believable right?)
2) Which game are you looking forward to the least in this bundle?
Definately Tiger Woods 2006. I have literally no interest in a golf game. I have to say though, a free golf game is more fun to play than one you paid 50 bucks for.
Reply to this: comment | thread
1: Project Gothom Racing 3
Reason: The graphics and gameplay of PGR2 on the XBOX1 was awesome so I am really excited to see how much better PGR3 will be.
2: NHL 2k
Reason: I never could get myself into Hockey so a game representing it is just not for me.

I’d say the game I’m most looking forward to would be Quake IV. Firstly, I’m a FPS nut. I love anything involving big guns and lots of death. (digital, of course). Second, some of my best gaming memories are of playing four player Quake II deathmatch on N64. I wasn’t a fan of the arena setup of Q3, mainly because I’m also interested in an actual story for when I don’t have anyone around to play multi with. Anyway, Quake IV is looking awesome, and with the addition of XBox Live play, it should be really sweet. I think Quake will allow me to make many more memories, which would be good.
As for the game which I’m least looking forward to? I think it would have to be THAW. I’ve never been a HUGE fan of skating games, and it just seems like it’s being milked as a franchise. I mean, the addition of BMX bikes to a skateboarding game? Just says to me “We’re running out of good ideas, so here’s something to distract you until we come up with something.”
There’s my picks.
