Red Dead Redemption 2

Let’s cut to the chase: October is the month wherein Red Dead Redemption 2 releases, and everyone else is just along for the ride…right? Nope! In a month where you’d have to have some serious chutzpah to take on a game whose marketing budget can easily topple a small nation, the month ahead isn’t giving Rockstar Games and Red Dead Redemption 2 an easy path to ride on.

In fact, this might just be one of the busiest months in recent history. There’s a grand total of 74 other games that are all looking to take a crack at the sandiest sandbox to hit the scene, with a few heavyweights lacing up and donning the ol’s stars ‘n stripes boxing shorts to face down the Ivan Drago of sequels.

A new Mega Man, a wonderfully silly new spin on Fist of the North Star (ATATATATATATA!) and the return of wrasslin’ are just some of the games on the list below. Take a gander, and prepare to have your socks knocked off as your wallet wonders if life is overrated.

    Nothing really stands out. Guess I will stick to Fortnite:Save the World,WoW and waiting for 7 Days to Die alpha 17 and/or Fallout 76 B.E.T.A.

    Gonna have to abstain from new games for a while. PC desperately needs an upgrade. x.x

    Couldn’t care about all but Ass Creed and Blops 4. Which ironically is are the reasons I need to upgrade.
