The upcoming Shadow of the Colossus is a msut have for me for two reasons. I loved the developers first game. And it's not a common type of game, unique visual style, unique gameplay. Quirky game I ugess you could lump that into.

While Zelda Twilight Princess isn't a must have game for me for one reason. It's Zelda and I still have yet to see anything in this game that doesn't look like I've done it before (until that happens I dont even plan on buying the game until its good adn cheap).

Basically if its a new franchise, that looks intriguing I'm gonna be all over it. If it's a rehashed franchise it takes a whole lot for me to get to love it. Unelss its something that shares a name but nothing else in common (like MegaTen Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga. Or Final Fantasy). No reason to buy a game because you must have it when it first comes out unless it's something fresh and new to me. That changes for everyone though I guess.
