Wallets Will Suffer on October 21st

124
LittleBigPlanet, Fable II, Far Cry 2, BioShock, and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows are all slated for October 21st, 2008 release. In addition to that, Fallout 3, Guitar Hero: World Tour, SOCOM: Confrontation and Dead Space are all slated for release in the month of October.

This begs the question: Could October, 2008 go down in history as the single greatest month in gaming history?

Dam it look like Fable 2 will have to wait. Need Bioshock, Little Big Planet first.

You have a 360 (I infer this from your interest in Fable 2), and you don't have Bioshock already?

As for me, my interest in LBP is way ahead of the other games. I'll wait for reviews for Far Cry and Fable.

1.3 - @Soren the Cat
well I do own a xbox 360 and was going to buy this game last year. But after the PS3 code was found on the PC demo, I just waited for the ps3 version because I figure it will have some kind of extra contents. But I already played the game at school, and love it. So I am getting it for the ps3 because of all the extra contents on the PS3

Its simple really. Some games will be purchased on day one while other will probably have to wait till i'm on holiday. I will also be renting as much as i can.

Far cry and fall out sorry but you guys might be rentals

It sucks being a PS360 owner. Too many good games, so little time and money. I should've bought a Wii instead :(

1.10 - MY wallet needs to suffer now....
I need something new to play...kind of in a game drought. Release something now!!!!

I'd get like one game that you want most on release then other games later. Christmas is right around the corner so there will be deals on everything. Honestly out of the games listed I just want Bioshock and Fallout. Why is everyone hyped about LBP? It doesnt even do anything for you, just make some obstacles and yay Im ten again. Sorry mature games only for me

but for my wallet...HELL NAW!!

as good it is to hear so many kickass games coming out I'm not feeling this whole release 500 hundred games in the same month thing.Especially since im going to invest into a 360 60gb I just don't have the cash for this:(

3 - It's so obvious...
...that MS is releasing Fable 2 on October 21st to challenge LBP. But, there will be no stopping that game. This will actually back-fire on them. I predict Fable 2 will not move many 360s for MS, even though it could've easily been a huge system seller. Anyone with a choice between both games will most likely pick LittleBigPlanet.

3.2 - agree with you kinggeoff
i think both games will do fine

well at least they should if they're advertised correctly

i think LBP has the potential to sell incredibly well, but in the end will not reach the enormously high expectations, and that's a shame if it turns out to be a good game

as for Fable 2, i'm not getting it but i know a dozen people who are

but it will still sell well, especially if MS backs up a first party game other than halo for once-Fable Dew could generate some excitement XD

Thank god for GFs.. She is gonna buy me Socom.. Then I will Grab LBP and a new DS3.. Then comes the hard part.. Trade in a few games to get BioShock or wait.. Tough Choices ahead.. but choices I like, nonetheless..

Edit: I forgot, Once I have Socom.. COD4 will be obsolete, COD4 will def be traded in

12.2 - why the disagrees?
there's nothing wrong with choosing Fable 2 and Fallout 3 for the month of October.

both will keep him busy for a long time.

personaly, my fiance is DYING to get her hands on both also. and so am i, especially because we've been waiting for a co-op game to play together for ages, and Fable 2 fits that bill. since she beat Oblivion to death, Fallout 3 is next on her list.

on top of those two, i'm eagerly awaiting Little Big Planet (day one purchase, for sure), SOCOM, and Bioshock.

all five of the games are must buys for me, i'll just have to figure out the money issue soon. maybe since the remainder of this month is pretty slow, as is September, i'll just preorder the games in full as i can, which will free up some October money for more games...

anyway, lay off the disagrees. i generally don't agree with Crab, as he tends to be a raging fanboy most of the time, but don't hate on him simply stating the games he's looking forward too. save the fanboy console war crap for an article that merits it. this article is a celebration (or grimacing realization), of all the awesome games hitting the PS3 and 360 BOTH in October, exclusive AND multi-platform.

lighten up, fanboys.

Thank G-D my b-day is October 24th, which means I will be getting some cash to pay for at least two of the games.

Here is hoping I get that raise next month so I can afford the rest.
