Too Many Games!

Last half of this month is loaded with games I want. With Brutal Legend, Borderlands, and Forza 3 releasing I will be broke but now I am very tempted to get some of these Hasbro games at half price. Axel & Pixel looked interesting but I think videos don't do it justice. Now I need to hurry up and finish the first season of Sam & Max - I have heard good things about season two.

EDIT: Nevermind on the Hasbro titles. Looks like the smart thing to do is wait for this retail release: http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=75991
