If you've got a Sony console, you'll have no shortage of games to splash your cash on in the run up to Christmas.
While all the focus is inevitably on the big AAA titles like Assassin's Creed and Unreal Tournament III (which Sony still has pegged for a pre-Christmas launch, you should note), Sony is, to put it one way, waving its willy about the fact that there are actually a total of 104 games and expansion packs releasing on PlayStation formats in time for the company's Christmas onslaught.
The strong list of third-party PS3 titles, although admittedly made up of multi-platform titles, are backed by nine first-party titles and a slew of downloadable games for the PS Network.
It's good to see PS2 still going strong too, with 27 games making a show for Sony's Christmas.

Um, where's Singstar for the PS3? I've waited long enough for that title, and if it's been delayed or put back again, I'm gonna have to re-evaluate my PS3's position under my TV.
Not a bad selection at all. About time the PS3 got some more stuff worth playing.
But sad that people who don't own a PS2 and haven't already bought a 60Gb PS3 are screwed out of the PS2 titles. Well, until there's a hack available anyway
lol gud ting you ps3 owners gotz foldingz@yourhouse cuz derz nuthn to play on teh ps3 lolrofl
Just getting it out there before someone inevitably comes in and says it. It's great to see such a strong lineup though, for PS3 in particular. I've already sampled the first few hours of gaming joy over the weekend with Ratchet & Clank (amazing), Call of Duty 4 (absolutely sublime) and the Simpsons Game (surprisingly enjoyable). Keep 'em coming!
Ahhh man my bank account gonna take a beating this xmas-Assassins creed,Haze, Kane and Lynch for the PS3, Mass affect, timeshift for the 360 and mario galaxy for the wii ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!
Assassin's creed, OK, but all FPSs I think will go on my PC. Might give Ratchet and Clank a bash when it reduces in price. Good whopping list though. Just fairly few A titles.
Ahhh man my bank account gonna take a beating this xmas-Assassins creed,Haze, Kane and Lynch for the PS3, Mass affect, timeshift for the 360 and mario galaxy for the wii ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!

Timeshift is supposed to be a bit lame..?
I've had a go on my friends copy I thought it was quite good, but everyones entitled to their opinions. Cant wait till MGS4 comes out!Incidentally GAME has it marked for 1/1/2008 release?
damn that's a lot of games! but outta the lot i only see 5 or 6 worth splashing my cash on.
How much games do you want at once? You must be loaded!
I wonder if his daddy is rich? Ka-ching!
Keeping on topic, I'm not too sure about the PSP line-up at all. Castlevania's been delayed until next year now, which is a damned shame because it's the only good title being released. Mind you, there's also (purportedly) Disgaea being released in December, which if true, would also be quite nice.
Is this meant to blow us away? The 1st party roster is a testament to how Sony blew the first year of PS3, it's all 2nd league stuff - even Ratchet and Clank, the demo of which had all the linearity of the original Crash Bandicoot.
Describing the Motorstorm upgrade pack as a game is pretty desperate. Describing Warhawk as a christmas release is also stretching the definition.
they are all due around April...where have you been?(actually i think LBP is first or second month )
as for that list,some gems on there sure,but its hard to get excited about that list when most are already out,if i wanted one of those games,then i would of already got it
