WRUP: It is The October
October. It's here. That means we're officially now in Q4 and there's a lot of games coming. There's Call of Duty: Black Ops, Fable 3, Fallout: New Vegas ... also, Enslaved, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Medal of Honor and many, many more. And here we're just talking "new" games, that's not even taking into the account things like the Dragon Age: Origins and Borderlands GOTY bundles. Trust us, whatever games you're thinking about this season, there's a couple more hidden gems you've totally forgotten about.
What's everyone playing before the gaming deluge?
Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Civilization 5 and Reach, likely. Been itching to go back and play a little Tropico 3 again.
Andrew Yoon (@scxzor): [Counting pennies.]
Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): Trying to figure out what went wrong with Armageddon in Darksiders, continuing to put off the Halo: Reach campaign in favor of multiplayer (I'm so ashamed!), and thinking about how stupid it is that Civ 5 isn't available through OnLive.
Chris Buffa (@ChrisBuffa): Now that I finished the Halo: Reach campaign, it's time to enjoy some Firefight. Next up ... Alan Wake, Castlevania, NBA 2K11 and Enslaved. Ah yes ... NBA Jam next week!
Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): Though I've been away for the last two weeks or so, this weekend holds little gaming time for me. So I'm up at 6am trying to finish Halo Reach!
David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'll be leading a nigh-endless train of survivors back to the safe room in Dead Rising 2 for all of that delicious, delicious PP! Yeah, I said it -- I love PP.
Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): All I seem to want to play as of late is Tomba on the PS1, which I don't own. That's weird, right? I think an outing to the local used game stores is in order.
James Ransom-Wiley: Is this the weekend I take the Minecraft plunge?
JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I'm going to finally complete Ace Attorney Investigations so I can feel okay about buying Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.
Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): [Counting quarters]
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): [Counting ... um, whatever his economy is based on.]
Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): Still playing Halo: Reach multiplayer, and trying to finish Alan Wake and Darksiders.
Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin) So much Halo: Reach. So much. Oh, and riding shotgun for my lady friend through Enslaved.
Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM) Wrapping up the last chapter of Austin, Texas Vacation, which is entitled "Eat good food." Then it's time for the epilogue DLC "Get in the car and drive for eight hours." After that I might play some Metroid: Other M, but only so I can pretend it's Lords of Shadow.
