PC games aside, have we given proper attention to the murderer's row of sequels coming out in the next two months?

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I mean, look at this list! (As of yesterday, off ebgames.com)
10/25 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
11/8 - Halo 2
11/15 - Metroid Prime: Echoes
11/17 - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
11/18 - Viewtiful Joe 2
11/30 - Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
12/6 - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II
12/7 - Mega Man X8
Good fucking gravy. That's an average of one sick game every week! (Well, X8 possibly excluded - after the debacle that was X7, the jury's still out.)
Thank goodness my gym is at the place where I work. As it stands, I may not leave the house except for work until spring!
Yowsers.

X series hasn't been in a long time

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>X4 was the only really good game out of that. X1-X3 and X5 are merely average. Didn't play after X6 but everyone seems to say they suck.
They really need to fix the ridiculous plot holes before there can be any hope for the X series since the gameplay sure isn't going anywhere but the premise gets dumber everytime (Sigma is back, again!). Actually, I can't think of a game from Capcom I've liked in a long time.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I stopped paying attention to the storyline after 5 made no sense, and was bitterly disappointed at how they dropped the gameplay ball with 7. As long as 8 looks good and plays relatively well with Zero, I'll be all set. (And yes, I'm playing MMZ series as well.)</div>
Gameplay really hasn't improved since X4, and it's arguably worse

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Also, the Anime and voice acting in X4 might not be anything to write home about, but I thought it was good to see something extra. When they scrapped those in X5 I got the feeling they're just pumping out new titles to make a buck, and why pay for new titles when you already have X4? They don't even maintain the bar set by X4.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>They're definately cashing in on the X series now, turning it 3D to appeal to all the little kids eating up those MegaMan: Network Battle games, which are quite good actually.</div>
