Listen, Green Day might have had it all wrong after all. Why sleep through September, when you can instead cuddle up with some of the finest video games to ever grace a console? If July and August were relatively low-key months for video games, then September feels like the first salvo of a war on balanced bank budgets.
Shots fired, EFTs are landing and somebody is waiting for a courier to knock on their door with a delivery of a promise of interactive entertainment. It’s a big month ahead for the industry then, filled with just about every game possible that wants to get in a release before Rockstar unleashes Red Dead Redemption.
From first-party titles such as Marvel’s Spider-Man to Bungie aiming for redemption with Destiny 2: Forsaken, here’s a look at the month ahead. Hold onto your butts folks, this is one heck of a big month!

Luckily only 1 game interests me, and that is Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Gives me 2 weeks to play Two Point Hospital and Divinity Original Sin 2 till that comes out.

I just bought Mist Survival and Scum and those two will keep me busy between Mythics and raids in wow as well as 7 Days to Die Alpha 17 that should hit soon.

Not buying anything day one anyway. Just too expensive these days. It does take away some of the hype though. Some highly anticipated releases coming soon, but I guess I’ll have to wait. Haven’t even played God of War yet.
