Half Gamer Half Crab

The next few weeks in gaming are quite intense. Let me give you a quick rundown of everything I'm interested in;

October 17: Saints Row 2. I picked up the first SR cheap some time ago, while waiting for GTAIV - but it actually turned out to be hugely fun. I'm looking forward to 2 because, as their ad angle suggests, they're not taking the srs bzns route which GTAIV took. And while an incredible game, the latest from R* just lacks that possibility for silliness and ridiculousness.

October 25: Fable II. Okay, ol' Petey likes the hype, but the first one was still a lot of fun despite not being revolutionary, and this one looks like at the least an iterative improvement, if not better still. Also local co-op. In an RPG. You don't know how awesome this is, guys.

October 31: Fallout 3 & Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3. Yeah two long awaited additions to two amazing franchises. I'm not expecting Fallout 3 to be a Fallout game, but I am expecting it to be a lot of fun. RA3 is going to be epic and awesome and I simply cannot wait.

Nov 7: Gears of War 2. My good friend Barry and I would spend an immense amount of time playing GoW. The new game from Cliffy B is sure to be even more balls-out insane! Plus, Horde mode looks redonkulously awesome.

Nov 14: Mirror's Edge. Wow, a game that actually tries to do new stuff! Well, except for Assassin's Creed I guess. But I love the aesthetic it has going on, and it's an interesting idea that I can dig. I will be checking it out!

Nov 21: Left 4 Dead. Well, it'd be nice to have a proper multiplayer survival horror with zombies, but this will suffice, as it does look pretty wonderful.

So that's what, seven games I want in six weeks. Pretty intense and ridiculous! Just as long as I can keep off the WarCrack, or Wrath of the Lich King sneaks onto the list as well, and that would just make things silly =[
