ToCA Race Driver 3 on Friday.  Just this once I'm not even panicking about the odd dodgy review, since plainly they've been written by people with very little understanding of either racing or the ToCA series.  It's also long been an ambition of mine to race a virtual lawn mower.  Is it Friday yet?

Apparently there's a Flatout 2 on the way shortly and I thought the original was hugely underrated so I'll have a look at that one.  Of the games whose release I know about, that's all I'm watching for between now and early summer unless Tourist Trophy is released and features more racing than the GT games do.

ToCA 3 is huge for me.  Since WE came out I haven't turned on the 360 but a few times, and with ToCA coming I don't know how much soccer I'll be playing for the next couple of weeks.  OK that's BS, I'll play plenty of soccer.    But ToCA will be ripping, with big rooms and so many new, fun classes to explore and race.  I can't wait to get the MLRs going again with a few one-offs and then some series.  We'll see how the new online stuff is handled, with practice, qualifying, and race flags.

FN3 should be on the way soon from GameFly, but I'm really only interested in online play, so we'll see how much I will put into that one.

Soon enough GRAW will arrive, which should provide for the full-room shoot-em-ups we 360 owners have been waiting for.  And then later that month should come Battlefield 2, Oblivion, and possibly Blazing Angels, not to mention The Outfit (will have to be really special to break through) or College Hoops (too little too late, I fear, as far as I'm concerned).  March is shaping up to be a busy month for 360 releases.

Only getting MLB 2K6 mainly for the World Baseball Classic mode. I love sports with international play. It is why I have NHL 2K6. If NBA 2K6 ever added an international mode I would keep it. The only professional sport I follow year round is football. I only watch the NHL, MLB and NBA during the playoffs. I enjoy watching college baseball and my love of college hoops is only second to college football, although I prefer March Madness to the bowl games/BCS. If someone ever made a college hockey game I would snap it up.

I have no interest in MLB 2K6 (or MLB 06: The Show). NCAA Baseball has more than satisfied by baseball needs. To be fair though, I'm not complaining. I feel like I have more quality titles to play right now than ever before.

Only 2 more must have games for me until NCAA 07 hits.  MLB 2K6 and NFL Head Coach. I might pick up a golf game if they get good reviews (World Tour and Real World).

What's on your upcoming purchase list? Now that WE 9 and NCAA Baseball 06 have been released (and I bought MX vs. ATV for cheap), I'm not really looking forward to anything else until NCAA Football 07. I thought about buying ToCA 3 but have decided to hold off for now and don't see a need to upgrade to Fight Night Round 3. I've been debating about buying NBA Live 06, but will probably pass on it. I'd like to pick up Tekken 5 if I can find it somewhere cheap. Is there anything I'm missing or forgetting about?
