What Games To Buy in October

1 Oct 2009  6 Comments

It’s the beginning of the month, that means its time for my top picks for October. The list will cover Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 only, as usual, and are in release order.

Multi-platform Games (XBox 360/PS3)

 

NBA Live 10

10/06

EA seems to be on the right track with their games, They are being praised a lot and getting good reviews all around. With NFL 10 (highest rating NFL game in this generation of consoles) and NFS: SHIFT (arguably the best Need For Speed game ever released) just to name a few.

 

Hope NBA live doesn’t disappoint.

 

 

Brutal Legend

10/13

Jack Black plays Eddie Riggs in Brutal Legend. The game looks fun and fun to play, The story line seems to be amusing also.

 

Borderlands

10/20

Borderlands is a First Person Shooter(FPS)/Role Playing Game(RPG) hyprid. If you are a fan of these geners, you are going to lofe this game.

I planned to get this game as soon as I saw the trailer. Loved the song and editing/montage of it.

The song is “No Heaven” by Champion by the way :)

 

FIFA Soccer 10

10/20 – 10/02 (Europe)

Another EA title, so it must be great, right? FIFA seems heading in the right direction since the last edition, hope this keeps going the same way. The video shows some of the improvements in this version.

 

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

10/23 (Europe)

PES has a large fan base here, and I will be bombarded for saying this, but Konami seems are talking a page from FIFA’s playbook by being more tactical and making the players feel a bit heavier/slower for more realism.

Take a look at the video below to see some of the tactical aspects that are implemented in this version.

XBOX 360 Exclusive

Forza Motorsport 3

10/27

As I said before, Forza to Xbox is what GT is to Playstation, it is the best car simulation franchise on the xbox. And racing fanatics are really waiting for this one.

The footage from the video below is all in-game.

PS3 Exclusive

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

10/13

Uncharted was hailed as the best PS3 game when it was released back in 2007, and Uncharted 2 looks it wont disappoint. the excellent story line, humor and outstanding graphics that show the power of the PS3 are what will make this game a hit. of course the gameplay is great too.
