The games coming out this fall season are an assault on the senses. This is a way better lineup than last year. Games I care about include:
- Dead Space – released Oct 13 to great reviews
- Fable 2 – Oct 21
- Far Cry 2 – Oct 22
- Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 – Oct 28
- Fallout 3 – Oct 28
- Gears of War 2 – Nov 7
- Call of Duty: World at War – Nov 11
- Mirror’s Edge – Nov 11
- World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King – Nov 13
- Left 4 Dead – Nov 17
- Prince of Persia – Dec 2
I’ve bolded the ones I’m definitely going to buy. Almost all of these are Xbox 360 titles. There are a couple good PS3 games (such as Little Big Planet), but I don’t have a PS3.
I’m cautious about Fallout 3. It has probably the biggest advertising campaign out of all of them, but I have a feeling it won’t meet expectations.
Lots of sequels in there. In fact, the only ones that aren’t a sequel or in some way part of an existing series are Dead Space, Mirror’s Edge, and Left 4 Dead.
