Most of you will not need to be told that there are some massively anticipated games coming within the next month or so. Most of us are already assigning money to which games we are gong to be purchasing.
To make your planning a little easier, I have put together a list of all the big titles and their SA release dates. If you are planning to rob a bank, I can highly recommend that you do it on the 23rd of October because the next day, a huge selection of titles are going to be coming our way.
The Full List of releases, after the jump.
Ok, so here are the SA Release dates for most of the popular games that will be coming out this quarter.
Please note that some dates may change as well as the fact that I may have missed one or two titles that you believe to be important. If so, please leave info about it in the comments and I will try and update the list:
17 October
Saints Row 2
24 October
Dead Space
Fable II
Far Cry 2
Midnight Club: Los Angeles
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift

Well not so popular i think, but Naruto: The Broken Bond (ie, the Xbox 360 Naruto game) is out around the time of GoW2… Not sure of exact date though 🙁

Money out my pocket, even before release date 🙂 Just showed my son the trailer for Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm and he’s sold on it, with comments like… I always wanted to do those moves in Naruto! Dad… I love you! (means Dad, please buy me the game or I will tell mom how much WoW you play :p)

You know… in retrospect… 2008 is WAAAAAAY bigger than 2007 in terms of the amount of AAA titles. Whether or not quality wise it will be as amazing has yet to be seen.

d@mn that’s a scary list, though it must be scarier for those who have both an XBOX and a PS3.
THe only one I’m getting on release date is GoW2, the rest will have to depend on my wallet.

Damn only one PS3 and one PC game. 😉

😕 are you looking at the same list I am?
Resistance 2, LBP and Bioshock (nearly) are the PS3 exclusives, then for PS3 fans they can also play Far Cry 2, Endwar, COD5, Mirror’s Edge etc etc…

Only Bioshock and PS3 have the format after the tile in brackets. It was only a little stab at Nick. 😉

I would vote for either ZAPS or AnimeWorx in Brightwater Commons… I would be very surprised if neither of those had a copy
