Top 5 Games to buy next month

With September providing enough gaming thrills to keep gamers well on their toes what lies ahead in October? There's loads of releases, but which ones should you be making sure you don't miss.

It's all about Battlefield 3 for me!

[Yi-Long]

... as well as FIFA 12 and Battlefield.

I'm a bit worried about all the DLC announcements for Arkham City though, so I might wait for a price-drop or GOTY-edition.

[fluffydelusions]

FIFA 12 comes out this month :)

[Yi-Long]

... only 12 more days orso :) Awesome :)

[fluffydelusions]

^^ 9 if you're in the US :)

[Yi-Long]

... but sadly I live in Holland. ;)

[TheFreak]

Why is fifa releasing first in the us?

[fluffydelusions]

^^ Yeah kind of odd given it's the least popular sport here but I won't complain cause I like it :)

[Sunhammer]

I see no further reason to buy Arkham City on day one when the developers themselves have already spoiled the entire game.

Uncharted 3, Skyrim, and Battlefield 3 is all I really NEED for the rest of the year, but if Rage ends up good, I'll bite into that as well.

Arkham City will be a nice rent, thanks Rocksteady.

I also hear Dark Souls has been massively compressed since it's multiplatform reveal. Something about it not even exceeding 6 gigs on either console. So much for the perfect sequel.

with my 2nd video card for my SLI setup i got a free copy of Batman:AC. woohoo!! i really liked the first one.

[MsclMexican]

Arkham city all the way

IM BATMAN.......

[DragonKnight]

@Sunhammer: The Demon's/Dark Souls games aren't about graphics. When you don't need memory hogging CG cutscenes and aren't trying to cater to the graphics whores of this gen, you don't need 50GB.

[Michael-Jackson]

The time you wait for the GOTY edition of Arkham City equals the release of Fifa 13.

Just sayin.

[Gamer1982]

Ace Combat over dance central 2? Hmm lets see which sells more shall we? Battlefield and Arkham for me was a tough month with a lot of games also got Dance Star party and Dance Central 2. Who says you cannot enjoy Hardcore and Casual games?

Also November gonna be the worst month for gamers wallets so far I think.. December as usual will be empty..

[showtimefolks]

time is the issue with work and all its hard to find time to play games. I also have a huge back catalog so i may pass on both and wait for a price drop.

dues ex was selling for 34.99 last week, so buying games at launch is not smart thing for me personally. too many sales happen within first few weeks of launch.

2 concerns for me about batman 2,rage is how long each single player is. I am more of SP gamer, i would like to play MP but single player is the reason i will buy both games.

rage i think is 15-20hrs long
batman 1 was about 10hrs long and 2 has seem to add so much stuff it should be also 15-20 hrs long. But if adding more times mean story gets boring than i rather have 10hr of fun single player than 20hr of boring one.

too many games too little time.

batman 2
rage
ratchet all 4 one
resistance 3
dead island
uncharted
bodycount(when its under 15)
uncharted 3
saints row 3
dues ex
driver san fransisco(when its under 15)

are all the games i have to get most will not be at launch

[MsclMexican]

Dude batmans single player is 40 hours long, thats not including challenge maps, new game plus or any of the other content included on disc

[showtimefolks]

i don't believe that. but like i said just because its longer won't automatically means it will be good. I rather get 10-15hrs of great story than 40hrs of boring one

i just gogoled the devs said 20-25hrs which is great. I hope this time the game is more open with everything.

can't wait to get it whenever i do

[Brownghost]

Batmans single player is 40 hours with side quests, it's 25 just for the main story

[BeOneWithTheGun]

Anyone hear if Dark Souls is a port from one system to the next or is there a specific console it is built for? I would assume the PS3 is lead but am now hearing it might be really compressed?????????

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

October games:

#1 DARK SOULS

[meetajhu]

RAGE!!!!!

[bunt-custardly]

RAGE looks like a corker of a title. Not sure I'll be buying any games for a while now, money would also probably be on BF3 for mutliplayer and co-op.

[fluffydelusions]

Yeah, I'll wait on some reviews for rage.

[AAWELLS09]

Im completely confident that Rage will be a stellar game no worries here its a day one for me. Ill say it now reviews will most likely be all 9/10. Everything about the game is top notch. Youll see i bet ya :)

[rabidpancakeburglar]

aawells
Reviewers will always find faults with games whether it be story, bugs or gameplay so not everything will be top notch. That said I expect between 85 and 91 on metacritic from it.

[Ocean]

Mmmmmm Ace Combat, Arkham City and Battlefield 3.....should keep me busy for a long time

[caseh]

Just played the Ace Combat demo and come away pleasantly satisfied.

I think majority of people will leave this until it drops in price though. A few months earlier and it would probably do a lot better in sales.

[Brownghost]

Just played demo was amazing, screw Tom clancy

[FEARprototype]

dark souls keep hunting my dream :[

[Dowie]

Oh Dark Souls...come and be mine.

Rage, battlefield 3 and arkham city will have to wait unfortunately. I won't have any time when I have dark souls.

[IM_A_NINJA]

Arkham City and Rage for me!

[Are_The_MaDNess]

got Rage and BF3 already, guess its just Batman left........for that month anyway

[Quagmire]

Sweet diggity. I just dropped one hundred bux on Deus EX in August, dropped another hundred this month for Resistance 3 , and next month Arkham City comes out, and the month after that is Uncharted 3 and Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

WHAT THE HECK! I should be happy, yet I am so conflicted!

[Pikajew]

Batman for me but I will get GOTY edition. Rage looks good. Is it an open world shooter? And not an open world RPG?

[lastdual]

Buying 4 out of 5 of these. The next 2 months are going to be crazy...

[SageHonor]

RAGE, Arkham City, and Battlefield 3

[HellzAssassin]

Dark Souls (PS3) and Battlefield 3 (PC)
fuck yesssssssssssss :D

[bangoskank]

Dark souls ps3 for me. That and gears 3 should keep me busy along with a few other backlogged games. Batman and rage will have to wait.

[Sizzon]

BF3 for me, Batman gotta wait a little :p

[Sheikah]

Battlefield 3 and Arkham, that's it :)

[NeloAnjelo]

DarkSouls Collector's Edition
BF 3 Collector's Edition
Rage Standard Edition (will be cancelled for later)

[Lord_Sloth]

Dark Souls is the only game I'm getting in October. It's also all I'll need.

[2v1]

[militant07]

missing FORZA 4

[chadachada123]

Dark Souls and Battlefield 3 will keep me satiated for, well, the rest of the year. Awww yeah.

[R_aVe_N]

I personally added in Stronghold 3 because I need me a good RTS to play. Still debating on what else to get next month. Right now it is a toss up between a lot of games.

[TitanUp]

bf3,batman,rage are the ones im looking forward to im also a bit worried about batman though might also wait for a goty edition on steam before buying

[Tommykrem]

3 out of 5 of these for me. But I'll probably only buy one of them. I hope Ace Combat ends up being really great, because then I'll just settle for that one. Rage is the one I think I'm most likely to get, and then there is Arkham City which looks awesome. BF3 and Dark Souls look great, but I don't know...

[Toman85]

In october, these games I have preordered:
RAGE (PC)
Batman Arkham City (PC)
Battlefield 3 (PC)
Forza Motorsport 4 (X360)
Dark Souls (PS3)

A great month indeed!! Love it when I have all machines. And around october im gettin Xenoblade Chronicles for my Wii :D

[MeatAbstract]

Freakin' Dark Souls!

I would of just stuck with that but I'll be getting Batman as well.

[Kee]

Only one I care about is dark souls and that is ALL I will be playing for that whole month.

[Jac5al]

BF3, all I need. I love batman, but it can wait.

[the deele]

NBA 2k12, Rage, Batman, BF3 makes up my October.
