October is gonna be huge.

PES2009, SFIV, SCIV and Force Unleashed are the games I'm looking forward to this autumn/winter for the 360.

Will probably pick up Left 4 Dead on the PC.

Definitely, it will be the biggest seller of the holidays for sure.

The first one sucked. It was way too short and Multiplayer is whipped by Call of Duty 4. CoD:WaW will suck as EA are making it. Hold out for CoD6.
All fighting games suck.:cool:

As an old pc gamer I cant wait for the release of fallout!! gonna get my boomstick and plode some zombies ;-)

DeVore · 22-07-2008 2:26pm

Anyone else notice that these are almost ALL sequels. Nothing original there... good games alright but some novelty would be nice...

SantryRed · 22-07-2008 2:36pm

Pro Evo, FIFA and GoW2 for me this year:D

Mirror's Edge? About as original as it gets IMO.

silvine · 22-07-2008 2:54pm

I'm sure something unexpected will make a splash ala Bioshock last year. However, the PS3 is the console to go to for original games this season, or maybe I'm just bitter because my Xbox broke.

What about that game Valve are developing or Alan Wake (I know, I know it's not out this side of Xmas)?

ShiverinEskimo · 22-07-2008 2:59pm

Aye left4dead is valve's latest zombie shooter horror adventure type thingy. Looks da bomb

Some of them are sequels made by other companies to the original see Far Cry 2,CoD Waw and Fallout 3. Fallout 3 in particular is radically different to the other Fallouts. then again it looks to be similar to the Elder Scrolls series so you may be approaching Sequeldom from a different angle.

fitz0 · 22-07-2008 5:05pm

Psst...go for Fallout 3. Fable has a two hour monologue by Peter moleneux before you get to play the game.

Fable 2 - meh
Fallout 3 - meh
Gears 2 - meh
FIFA 09 - meh
COD:WaW - meh
Mirror's Edge - holy crap I thought this was PS3 exclusive. I'm so happy. Can't wait for this game!
Splinter Cell: Conviction - meh

All going to be release between late sept and early Nov. I'm sitting here struggling for games to play and then I'll be inundated come Autumn.

Don't know about anyone else but I'll be wanting a piece of all of the above.

I won't be strapped for cash. Too many sequels and samey games TBH. I mean I don't think I can play through another Gears of War game. I was bored as hell coming up to the end of the first one. The next one better be more open and less cover based than the last one which was the same thing over and over again.

But it looks so good! I loved the first one even after all Molyneux's sh*tetalk. But Fallout 1&2 are the stuff of legends! There is no smiley to accurately show how frustrated and annoyed I am so Ill have to go for a combo of :mad::(:confused:
But it wont make a bit of a difference if I get Spore in September. Good job play.com put the price of Lost Odyssey back up I was gonna order it today.

Moiph · 31-07-2008 5:31am

Dont forget Fracture too! That looks awesome!

Bobalicious93 · 31-07-2008 11:46am

How has nobody mentioned Rock Band 2 yet??!!
that's a September release.
though I suppose it's really just a revised tracklist...............
Guitar Hero IV then!

Nobody has mentioned Rock Band 2 because there is no release date for Europe. It probably wont be out till next year. Australia hasnt even got Rock Band 1 yet like.

As for Fracture, i think it looks ok but I have a feeling it will be forgotten because of the plethora of AAA games getting released in and around it.

What are the advantages of playing this on the PC (if I've already got live paid for)?

Ive checked play.com, amazon.co.uk, cdwow, hmv.co.uk, zavvi, game.co.uk and I have not seen a September date on any of those.

ShiverinEskimo · 16-10-2008 9:40pm

October is upon us - and as expected the games are flowing and flowing with quality. I've been banging in goals in FIFA '09 and now am thinking about robbing a bank to pay for Fable II and Gear 2 at least.

I'm still going to wait on Fallout 3 - it's 50/50 at this stage.

Dead Space seems to be a winner.

A lot of decent games all at once.

ciano1 · 16-10-2008 10:15pm

Fable 2 live feed for anyone interested
http://www.justin.tv/newgames

Just trying to decide whether i'd like fable or not
I Like RPG's (addicted to mass effect and oblivion) but hate games like WOW

I have never played the first Fable.
Will i like Fable 2??

ShiverinEskimo · 16-10-2008 10:27pm

Fable 1 was good but was well short of all the original features promised.

Fable 2 is supposed to fix that and more. If you liked Mass Effect you'll like Fable - same idea, different time.

Yakult · 16-10-2008 11:44pm

Im looking forward to Fall Out 3. Huge fan of oblivion so

Dead Space looks really good, but Im 50/50 with it.

GoW 2, cant wait for that

Fable 2 doesnt appeal to me tbh.

petes · 17-10-2008 8:18am

Dead Space seems to be a winner for me. What is the release date for Left 4 Dead?

ShiverinEskimo · 17-10-2008 8:28am

Left 4 Dead's been pushed back to the 21st of November.
