I can’t think of a Fall retail season that’s been so rough on gamers. As it is the season that buts up against the spending/buying tsunami known as Christmas (Jesus who?) a lot of games are released during this time. That’s to be expected but this XRS is proving to be extremely difficult as I barely have time to game as it is (not a bad thing necessarily) and yet there are a lot of titles being released that I have been tracking—waiting/wanting to play—for a long, long time.
Halo 3
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfrare
Mass Effect
Assassin’s Creed
Medal of Honor Airborne
The Orange Box
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Hellgate: London
Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron
Warhawk
Folklore
Unreal Tournament III
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Super Mario Galaxy
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Harvey Birdman
Some of these plastic tools of wonderment have already been obtained and played (Halo 3 has been conquered though that was hardly a battle worthy of song) but to get through the rest of the list I’m going to need the power of Santa, Fred Thompson, and American Express to help decide which lucky titles will make it into the library.
At least Blizzard isn’t releasing anything this year.
