October means:
Mega Man 9
FIFA 09
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
Midnight Club: Los Angeles
Golden Axe: Beast Rider
Pro Evolution Soccer 2009
Saints Row 2
Dead Space
Fable 2
Far Cry 2
LittleBigPlanet
Fallout 3
and that's just the top titles, there are a whole bunch of niche genre titles out there too this month like Moto GP 08, Shining Force II, Star Ocean: First Departure. It's a gamer's nightmare, so many great titles in one month. But if you thought that was bad, look ahead to November and cry...
November means:
Gears of War 2
Tom Clancy's EndWar
Call of Duty: World at War
Football Manager 2009
Mirror's Edge
Left 4 Dead
Need for Speed: Undercover
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Rise of the Argonauts
Silent Hill: Homecoming
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
You might be thinking it's only 11 releases instead of 12, but there are only 4 Friday's in November compared to the 5 in October, and this is just the confirmed releases. And I've probably missed a few off the list.
Have we ever had it so good? Is this the shape of things to come? Doesn't the videogaming industry realise we're in the middle of a worldwide recession? If this is November, what is December going to look like? I dread to think that far ahead, but I am looking forward eagerly to the little envelopes that Santa tends to drop off around that time of year and woe betide any family member that spends £39.99 on a new sweater for me.
If it's any help, I put all the games I want to get into a list, and then prioritise them in terms of how badly I want them. Those priorities shift and change over time as new previews/reviews come out and the games at the bottom of the list tend to be nabbed later on at a discount price. Having said that, my dilemma is now that by the time they get discounted I'll have another list with more priorities on it.
I can really sympathise with kids in candy shops now.
