From the PlanetXbox360.com feature article:
"There is one time out of every single year that all gamers look forward to and it's the holiday season that begins right around the end of summer. It isn't holiday in the traditional sense so much as the time when we look forward to Christmas as it is when all of the best games are releasing. However, this year it seems there is a bit of a wider birth being granted as several games are nudged into the first quarter of next year. In the meantime, I have scrounged together my 10 must haves of the hottest games releasing before 2009 comes to a close.
10. Darksiders - Dropping the original Wrath of War subtitle, I find it very interesting that this title hasn't slipped into 2010 yet as several sites including Amazon still have it coming at the end of the year. Personally, I think the concept is interesting and stands apart from Dante's Inferno in that instead of being definitively good or evil, you just want to kill everyone. After all, you're filling the shoes of War, one of the four horsemen of the freakin' apocalypse. This isn't a day job for the weak of heart, given that when you're finally called in to the office you're expected to slaughter everything in sight. Oh, and it's the end of the world. All the same, the basic plot of the title involves you, as War, being blamed for prematurely causing that whole Armageddon thing and both Heaven and Hell are pretty upset about it. So, you have to do what anyone trying to prove their innocence would do, annihilate their way to absolution. While the videos of Darksiders have shown very intelligent gameplay mechanics on the part of the development team, I can't help but fight off the feeling that this title will slowly drift out of the year into the next. As it never hurts to have time to finish polishing a game, I still would like to see this game be of truly biblical proportions before the year is out."
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
MY.GAMES new Warface: Clutch 'Secret Lab' season has arrived, takes the action to North Africa whilst adding a new map, weapons and more.
I am not going to buy any Xbox 360 game this holiday season.
Gotta agree with most of the games on this list, Operation Flashpoint, Darksiders, and Modern Warfare 2 all look fantastic....it's going to be an expensive Holiday season no matter which console you own!
I am not going to invest my time and money into the Xbox 360 platform for the remainder of the year.
I am only going to spend my money and time on the PlayStation 3 platform and its respective content.
It's too bad Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Bayonetta, and Final Fantasy 13 were made 2010 titles or else it would be even more packed this holiday.
