With the rather dull summer almost coming to an end, and the rather dull autumn coming up, it’s nice to have something to look forward to during autumn/winter, and there is certainly a lot to look forward to.
The first game being, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, admittedly, the middle of September isn’t winter, but it’s just a starter.
The second is the brilliant LEGO Batman: The Video Game. I am personally, a great fan of the Lego Xbox games, they always provide me with a laugh or too, although I don’t buy them as they can be completed within one Blockbuster rental.
Next is Fable 2 followed rather close by Far Cry 2, according to the Game website, they are to be released on the same day, I’ll be a busy chap.
The next is a questionable one, Mirrors Edge, this is a different type of game as you play a free running chap, and all sorts of things come into effect, like, if you pick up a gun, that will make you run slower and affect your jumps, interesting and worth a play.
Gears of War 2 is the next one, I personally am really looking forward to this, not released until November but I’ve got my copy pre-ordered.
According to the Game website, this next one is being released on the same day as Gears of War 2. Guitar Hero World Tour, I find it hard to believe that it will be released in November as it is only being released in the USA a month earlier, so I’m not getting my hopes up for a November release, but you never know.
The final two are unknown really when they will be released, most likely around spring 2009, Rock Band 2 and Call of Duty 5, must play games really, but quite a wait.
That is it for Xbox 360 games, although there are most likely some that I have missed and they won’t seem interesting to me until closer to the time.
For PC release, most are listed as 360, but some that are exclusive to PC is the World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, Diablo 3, and one to think about for a future release is Half Life 2 Episode 3, the final in the episodes, hopefully, it will be the best one.
