I'm about to run off to the nearest burb and mall and lay down some smackeroos on a new game. The primary contenders for my purchase dollars are: Fable. Sly 2, Gradius V.
The thing is I can only get one of them today, and I'd just assume grab all three and want each about equally. I can't decide.

 

[pcostabel]

My vote goes to Sly 2

 

[jedimike]

I'm having fun with Fable if that's any help

 

[AniHawk]

I'm having fun with Fable if that's any help

That's like me recommending a Nintendo game.

 

[MetatronM]

Eh...all fine choices. What are you in the mood for?

 

[Trevelyon]

My votes goes to pocketing all three & legging it out the door.

or...... just pay for Gradius V.

 

[Littleberu]

I'm having fun with Fable if that's any help

Yeah I'm having fun too with Fable.

NOT.

 

[impirius]

just assume -> just as soon

I'd go with Gradius... it's value priced, right? I just rented Fable, and it's dragging for me so far.

 

[BreakyBoy]

I'd go with Gradius V. Support your shmups on release (or at least as soon after release as you can) kids!

 

[disabledHeliocentric]

I think.... I'll grab Sly 2 and then next week I'll get Katamari Damacy and Gradius V.
But when I get to a store I might change my mind, heh.

 

[Alex]

Me vote goes to not buying Sly 2, and buying one of the other two, far better games. OUCH.

 

[bishoptl]

Doesn't anyone rent games anymore?

 

[BuddyC]

Doesn't anyone rent games anymore?

With rental costs being what they are, no, not really.

 

[Kiriku]

Out of those three, I've only played Gradius V...
...but with that said, I'd say go for Gradius V. It's obviously better than the other two.

 

[op_ivy]

gradius gets my vote

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I'd say Fable.

 

[Truelize]

I'm a huge fan of the first Sly game, but I'm sure glad I didn't buy it new. It just didn't have any length to it, as the second one probably doesn't either. I would pick up Fable and wait for Sly to drop in price or buy it used at Blockbuster in two months. Cause we all know that Sly is not gonna fly off shelves.

 

[Chittagong]

That's a tough call. I'm very intrigued by the concept of Fable and want to see if it's well executed, but then again, you can't beat Treasure love. I'd probably pick up Fable now and wait Gradius V to hit bargain bins soon, as it's too cool for the Driver 3 masses.

EDIT: I forgot price is not a factor for Gradius V in the US. You lucky bastards. It's close to 50 USD in Europe.

 

[Spike]

Go for Gradius V.

Sly 2 and Fable will be readily available and will more than likely hit Greatest/Platinum Hits status. Gradius V most likely won't and might not be available in large quantities.

 

[Brannon]

After having played Gradius V, I vote Gradius V.

TYPE 2 ROXXORS, ROXXORS IS TYPE 2.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Gradius V

 

[CrimsonSkies]

I'd rent Sly 2 and buy Fable. I'm enjoying both. I'll replay Fable, can't say the same for Sly 2.

 

[Prine]

FABLE!!

 

[B'z-chan]

Buy Sly 2 and Gradius V cause they both deserve your support Fable will sell enough copies on its own. But Sly and Gradius need your support.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Gradius V. THe other two games aren't even in the same echelon.

 

[djtiesto]

I thought the first Sly was pretty boring, never played 2... Fable looks interesting, but flawed. Gradius V is one of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing. The flaws it has are so insignifigant as to be laughable (unless you're a hardcore fan of the series). The control is TIGHT (make sure you play on Type 2), the graphics and music are great, and the game is $30.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Gradius V really that good, eh?

Maybe I'll have to check it out, I did buy Ikaruga (thanks to GAF) afterall.
