Fall 2008 Xbox 360 and Wii Games That are Going to Rock

| 3 Comments

I am still not over all the great holiday games from last year. Well tis the season to get ready for the holiday/fall blitz of new games.

Wii Releases

09/23
Samba de Amigo
Sega + Monkeys = Fun!!! It will be awesome to play properly with dual Wiimotes. It is going to be pure maracas monkey madness. BBQ is going to be all over this.

10/07
Sam & Max: Season 1
I feel a bit left behind since I have not played the PC version but alas the Freelance Police will soon be here and kick down the door and fully investigate my Wii.

11/11
Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars
Gothic, creative, innovative, driven and coming to my Wii soon.

Xbox 360 Releases

10/01
Mega Man 9 XBLA
I am going to flat out say that I doubt that I'll get to many achievements on this bad boy but a new old Megaman game is too big a treat for me to pass up.

10/14
Dead Space
I am cautiously optimistic that this game might be the best scary game of the year. I want to play this with all the lights off with headphones on and a cold beer.

10/21
Fable II
I really need two copies of this game. One for me and one for my freinds to play with me. I am going to devour this game like a finely seasoned medium rare steak.

10/26
Guitar Hero World Tour
It was a bunch of fun at PAX but it will have to deliver after Rock Band 2. I might get the new guitar.

10/28
Fallout 3
I like a good post apocalyptic semi-real time RPG with nukes and mutants.

11/04
Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade
I am a sucker for classic Namco games.

11/07
Gears of War 2
Blood tastic saw-domy on a massive scale.

11/11
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
I was already interested in this game but the addition of George Takei as the Emperor of Japan seals the deal for me.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
The Xbox 360 needs a pretty kick but cartoony platformer.

Call of Duty: World at War

11/17
Left 4 Dead
This looks like the best online team based zombie apocalypse game this year.

Lips
I am pretty curious to get my mouth on Microsoft's new interactive music singing game. Told ya Lips was a peice of hardware.

11/18
Prince of Persia
All the trailers of this game make my hair stand up on the back of my neck.

11/24
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest
I was pretty impress with this game at PAX. It is the first Lord of the Rings games that I am looking forward to in a long time.

12/01
Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon
The new physics based weapons that they and new and expanded destruction that is going into this game is looking brilliant.

I also can't wait for Brutal Legend but there is no hard release date yet.

there are no PS3 games that are going to rock?

Sure there are but I don’t have a PS3 so that is why my PS3 coverage sucks. I might get one if they drop the price to $300-$200. But currently there is not enough exclusive games that I can’t get on my Xbox 360 to justify the cost of the hardware to me. If Sony gave me a PS3 I would be stoked but that has not happened yet. I don’t think they are offering enough unique games, all of my friends are on Xbox Live and it costs too much.

I know you are anti-HD movie but it is worth having one for the sweet Blu Ray goodness :) I also love being able to look at pics from my SD card on my HDTV. I can hook my camera up to the 360 but since I have an old one without an HDMI port my pics look WAY better on the PS3...
