Funny stuff. My lifelong goal of getting my named dropped by the fanboys did not come into fruition… and it did for mr lee stabler aka digitalee aka jewbacca aka loxon aka sappdaddy. So im kinda sad about it. But here is my top 5 list!
5. Rainbow 6 Vegas - SP is good. MP is good. Graphics are great. Nothing extradorinary but its a really solid package.
4. Oblivion - Really amazing exerience.
3. Gears of War - single player is fun, fu mik… you decided you hated the single player 6 months before the game even came out.
2. The Outfit - I absolutely loved this game online and off. Very neato gameplay. I think me, mik and like 2 guys in alaska bought it.
1. World Of Warcraft - I include it for “this year” because I really enjoyed the content they released in 06. The new talents for each class, the new raid instances, the new quest hubs in silithus and EPL… the new pvp system… everything they did was butter. Best game ever. January 16th is gonna own my face.

PSP lineup
Wii launch lineup
PS3 launch lineup
PS3 online store
Disappointing games:
Enchanted Arms

Resistance: Fall of Man
Top 5 games of 2006:
5. Viva Pinata
4. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
3. Rainbow Six Vegas
2. Gears of War
1. Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion
And, in case none of us are reading this in another 12 months, here is my *list for 2007; straight from the future.
5. SOCOM 5
4. Metal Gear Solid 4
3. Crysis
2. Halo 3
1. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
*Assuming Mass Effect & Bioshock get delayed beyond 2007.
Kisses to all of your pink parts.

I take issue with you including the psp lineup on your list. Ive had a blast with my psp this year. Sony’s baseball game was amazing, Madden was better than the 360 version, GTA was GTA, killzone is really cool, locoroco and lumines 2 were offbeat fun, a new metal gear game…. fuck man, that is an amazing lineup. I can see not going gaga apeshit wanna kiss its pink parts over the psp but to list their lineup this year as a disapointment is a little off base, imo.
