So fall on up threw (sp?) December seems to be the time when game developers tend to release those highly anticipated game.

This month's release is especially note worthy.. scoring high with just about every gaming media as well as it's audience.

I played the demo about an hour ago and I must say it's impressive. While I'm not a big fan of the game play... it seems a little to challenging for my tastes.. and possibly repetetive... though I think the story and visuals will more then make up for my lazy game playing preference (though not too lazy like PotC:AWE) and I think I could really end up enjoying the game a lot. I'm seriously considering picking up a copy on it's release.

Other super stoketacular title's coming out this fall are Halo 3 & Guitar hero 3. The much anticipated GTA 4 which was do out in October has been pushed back to a March release.

haha, you thought it was too challenging?

I think it looks especially special. I may even buy it. Its quite impressive graphically - possibly the most impressive Ive ever seen on the 360.

John Woos Stranglehold, while repetative, is HIGHLY fun. Max Payne on steroids.

BIOSHOCK- The game is very fun to play but there are not a good amount of verity of enemies from the trailers and the demo. But the Big Daddy looks freeking awsome!

HALO 3- I loved halo 1 and two and halo three looks impresive. I can't wait to get my hands on that new map editor and the Elephant( which is a huge vehichle which is a mobile base) The campaign looks like it will shater the records once again. I've pre-ordered it and can't wait yo play it!

What about Project gotham Racing 4.

Games for the fall, I'll count the games year till christmas. And since I hate consoles even more than I do my old french teacher I'll only talk about PC games :D

BIOSHOCK, PC is getting its demo tomorrow, and since my killing machine is way better than Xbox360 I should have the most awsome game-experience. The Xbox demo looked good as far as the videos showed, I realy lover thne setting and stuff.

CRYSIS, The most awsome, most incredible looking game ever. Period.

ASSASINS CREED, Lets kill some people, free roaming in such cities, that can't be bad!

MEDAL OF HONOUR AIRBORNE, Looks awsome, but not gonna buy it since its EA.

WORLD IN CONFLICT, One of the best RTS games, first DX10 game I'm going to own. Beta was awsome, only some minor things wrong. An he, who doesn't like to not be able to get killed in a RTS?

UNREAL TOURNAMENT 2007, I hoped for cross platform so we could once again show the incredible mouse aiming, but its not gonna happen. UT will be a good game, UT series always ware good.

HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE 2, now, lets see what happens on that bridge, I want to own striders again.

So Halo 3 releases next Tuesday. With some stores already having early releases, and my 360 in Texas for repairs, who knows what lunacy will unfold at 12:00 AM 9/25/07.

Overall first impressions: Particle's engine looks stunning, some of the best explosions I've seen thus far, though the rest of the graphics aren't quite up to par as I would have liked, but overall not bad.. maybe only a half step behind BioShock? But I guess when it comes down to it it's going to be the conclusion of the story arch and gameplay that sells this game. Can't wait to get my 360 back. [:)]

BIOSHOCK REPETITIVE?! My boy, you have NO idea.

And I won't be getting Halo 3. I gave up on online FPS-es way back when Unreal Tournament 2003 came out. And I have no desire to go back.

As for other games... you guys are forgetting gems like

Hellgate London
Mass Effect (which will have inter-racial lesbian sex)
Conan
Timeshift
Army of Two

and... PAINKILLER: OVERDOSE! (a.k.a. Quake on Crack)

Assassin's Creed and Guitar Hero 3 are gonna be a loot of fun. Never played any Halo games, or any of those other shooters though.

I also really want to play Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction. The R&C series is awesome, yet I do not have a PS3 and have no plan on getting one anytime soon till the price drops.

^^ Yea I've heard a lot of good things about Hellgate London, but as my computer has slowly become outdated over the years, so has my interest in PC gaming. Once my system is back up to standards then I'm so jumping on those PC titles.

Huxley's cross platform, just i'm not too sure if they pulled away from the controller vs. mouse and made it purely co-op cross platform...
