October's releases....

Welcome to our little listing of upcoming games of October 2008. Like mentionned before, Fall is the busiest time of the year for game releases and 2008 is no different.

Keep in mind that release dates are subject to change without warning. As of this writting, the dates mentionned are the ones we were informed of. So without further ado, here we go!

Dead Space (X360-PS3: -- Release date: October 14th 2008): EA is now trying it's hand in the survival horror genre. Thus far, the consensus points towards a mix of "Alien" and "The Thing". The fun initiative in the game is that the protagonist's health will show on the man's backpack thus allowing a simple way to monitor your health without filling the screen with different visuals.

Far Cry 2 (X360-PS3: -- Release date: October 21st 2008): Ubisoft Montreal is back with its acclaimed FPS series. You're now in the middle of a war between two rival gangs in the middle of Africa and have a bounty for a mysterious man known only as "The Jackal".



Saints Row 2 (X360-PS3 -- Release date: October 14th 2008): After being pushed back from its original end of August release for polishing reasons, the return to Stilwater will be even more fun than ever. After being blown up in the original Saints Row, you need to start over and rule with an iron fist as the leader of the Saints. You'll need to start from scratch by deciding....if you want to be a man or a woman. A first in the series which will allow deeper and more crazy customization of your character. With people like Michael Rapapaport and Tera Patrick voicing characters in the game, even Gary Busey is excited about the game!



Wii Music (Wii - Release date: October 20th 2008): After being announced at E3 2005, the game fell into the dark and not being heared of...until E3 2008 where M. Miyamoto and friends made a wonderful orchestra demonstration. The game will work only with the Wiimote and not needing any additional controllers. Simply mimic the moves of the instruments you desire and you'll be on your way to conquer the musical world! You'll be able to choose from various instruments like violin, bass, drums, among others.

Guitar Hero World Tour (PS3-X360-Wii-PS2; October 27th 2008): The Guitar Hero series is back for a second time this year (GH Aerosmith was released back in June) and this time it's bigger than ever. Not only will it include the option to create your own band with a singer and drummer, but with the Studio, you'll be able to jam as a band and create your own songs and upload them for fellow gamers to hear. This game will be available in 3 different forms: the Stand Alone Game, the Guitar Bundle (Game + Guitar) and The Band Kit (Microphone, game, drums and guitar).
