It's October, Clear Your Schedule

LBP. If I could get Fallout 3, It'd be like choosing between which baby I want to kill.

 I've discovered that it doesn't matter when you play a great game, be it the day it's released, or a month later, It's still going to be a great game. I'll be waiting to play one great game, because I'm playing another! Carrying over a love for video games into adulthood is fantastic!

 As a kid I wouldn't be waiting to play a great game because I was already playing one,I'd be waiting because I was poor and young and the only way I'd get a game is if it was Christmas or my Birthday!

I actually wrote a similiar thread before,Oct month is insane indeed.

I too drooled over the sears catalog (videogames and later, bras/panties) before I found Nintendo Power and later, Frederick's of Hollywood. Ah the younger years. Now I get all my hobby fixes on the internet.

But it is seriously very close to launch to not have definitive Fallout 3 PC specs. C'mon Bethsoft... I needa build muh damned computer already.

damn... well, actually brad, Dead Space is not on my must buy list... but thats because I can only afford two games this month...
those two games are actually one game: The Fallout 3 collectors edition.
Now there's a must buy.

you forgot Rock Band 2 for all other systems . . . busy month for me i want fracture (liked the demo), getting GHWT, RB2, and LittleBigPlanet

So many awesome games, so little money. If I could buy 3: Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, Fallout 3.

Man, Fable 2 & Fallout 3 are on my list but, like many, I can't afford them right now.  I'll have to wait until Christmas, the spending season, to even think about those games.  With Tomb Raider Underworld & Gears 2, maybe even Resistance 2 out next month, it's going to be torture waiting to play the games I want.  This Holiday gaming season has the potential to top that  of 2007. 

I fondly remember the sears catalog.  My small, Oklahoma town didn't feature any channels that had videogame shows on and we couldn't afford vg mag subscriptions so, Sears had my back during Christmas season.  Toys 'R Us also had a good catalog. 

Silent Hill 5 and Golden Axe are also coming this October.

Far Cry 2 - I'm stoked.

I'm from the Hendersonville area, and yes, Sears and JCPennys catalogs were a Oct. and Nov. pasttime when I was a kid, only to be dissappointed EVERY year!  Maybe it was regional there.  But yes, Oct is a glorious month, yay!  And Silent Hill 5 too!

Far Cry 2, Little Big Planet and BioShock

Since I live in the past, the only games there that I'll be able to play are Castlevania and Guitar Hero.
And I won't be playing Guitar Hero.

Totally forgot about Deadspace.

I'll be picking up LittleBigPlanet, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

Still unsure about ordering GH:WT and still unsure about Far Cry 2.

Hell yeah!
Fracture($60)
Dead Space($60)
Fable II($60)
Little Big Planet($60)
Bioshock PS3($60)
Guitar Hero WT($190)
Motorstorm 2($60)
AND FALLOUT 3!!!!!($130)
$680!! I guess I'll have to be content with Fallout 3, LBP, GHWT, and Motorstorm 2 for now :(

Ok, buying Saints Row 2, Fable 2, Fallout 3. Im renting Dead Space. And i am getting Farcry 2 and MNC:LA for christmas. Damn i am about to spend some monies...

Fable II, LBP and Fallout 3 are my must-buys, so I'm gonna be staying home playing them for awhile. At least that will save me money on alcohol. :P

I used to always look at the Sears Wish Book as a kid to show my parents what NES/SNES games I wanted....ohh the good ol' days :P

I'll be getting Castlevania, Guitar Hero, and Fallout this month...my poor bank account, I don't even want to think about November releases.

Screw LBP, Midnight Club LA is all I need, and everything else is just a detail.

Its a very exciting run up to Christmas for sure. I hope some of the smaller/less mainstream titles don't get squashed completely, but I suppose it is inevitable.
BTW is there any clearer release date coming soon for 3D Bionic Commando? Page just says Q4 2008 atm, which is sort of now.

For me the choices are between Deadspace, Bioshock, LittleBigPlanet and Far Cry 2.

Bioshock and LittleBigPlanet's are definites so I guess I need to choose between Far Cry and Dead Space now.

Fallout 3 hands down. Propably the only game that doesn't have install limits or shitty drms that'll drag down my pc's preformance. Seriously, i've got somany of those now in a short time that after a few upgrades my phonebill is going to kill me. [might be 2 years from now but shit, it's inevitable]
So salute to Bethesda for not crapping over their players, $upport definatly incomming from me.

Crap, I totally forgot about Order of Ecclesia. That mkaes 6 game I want this month. 

Indeed, I'm undoubtly gonna get LittleBigPlanet (!!!).

goodbye paychecks

You forgot RB2 for PS3 and the Basketball games that are out on the 7th.
NBA 2K9
NBA Live09
NBA 09: The Inside

October is jam packed.

Brad, I was the same as you with the Sears catalogue. Whenever the winter issue would come out, I'd go straight to the video games section and circle the games I wanted for christmas. I remember seeing Sonic 3 and going apeshit.

Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 are on my list. Thankfully My birthday is in early November, so I can get both. Otherwise I'm broke.

I don't want to think about the amount of money i'll be spending this month... ahhhhh *brain explodes*

and the week after October, Gears of War 2 comes out.  Then Call of Duty!  Oh man. At least its not as bad (or good?) as 2007.  But what about Rock Band finally coming out in bundle form?  Thats what I have been waiting for.

I would be soooooo excited for this...but I'm an Accounting major in his first upper division semester, aka: hell. So maybe over Christmas break I can play catch up with all this.

My bank account will be as flaccid as a eunuch unit when October is over.

Fallout 3! Fallout 3! Fallout 3!

Sorry, Fable 2, I love you, but I'm not *in* love with you.

(Fallout 3!)

that's insane....there are soo many i want!

Don't forget Wii Music oct. 20th.

Just Kidding.

LittleBigPlanet looks amazing... if only i had a PS3

I can't wait for Fable 2 and Fallout 3. Both look great. I will pick up LBP at some stage later in the year too.

My October list:
Rock Band 2 (PS3)
LBP
Order of Ecclesia
Fallout 3

yikes

Woah... I know I'm gonna be buying a lot of games this month, but shit, I'm not gonna booked solid for my gaming for the rest of the year.

I already preordered my metal fallout 3 lunchbox and bobble head.  And it comes with Fallout 3...score.

Dead Space
Fable 2
LBP
Fallout 3

I'm trying to stick to this, but would otherwise probably grab Motorstorm, Far Cry, and Spiderman if these were spaced out. NOT to mention that all of November's goodies are all at the beginning of the month.

Dear Gaming Industry: FUCK YOU. Where were you in July?!

Easy month for me. Fallout 3 is the only one that strikes me as must-buy. But it comes out so late in the month, it might as well be listed against November's batch of games.

Oct 21, Eternal Sonata for the PS3!!!...   that's probably just me.

I remember looking in that Sears catalog as a kid too! Lol. Massive catalog. I'd just always flip straight to the games and toys section, which were usually towards the end if I remember right.

November is gonna be so awesome as well.

Wallet are empty. Cry.

Woohoo, now I have a job and no other responsibilities, a great time in my life to be a gamer.  Accounting majors suck.

Yeah October is going to be an awesome month. My birthday is this month as well, so I'm getting a double doze of awesome.

For me its Fable II, Saints Row 2, Dead Space, Fallout 3 and Red Alert III.

For some reason I am thinking that I am going to drop RA3 just because; 1 recent DRM crap with EA(greg, I love you and have loved C&C, but yeah).  And then I don't know why but the great buzz isn't there, I mean I am a fan of the series but people have been really down on it...I have heard a lot of not so great stuff about the in game cutsences being a little too "self aware we are funny" kind of thing...

And I am not sure if I am sold on Little Big Planet as of yet.  For one, it just looks like its going to eat through hours on end of gaming time with the creator and these days if I can beat a single player game every 2-3 months that is about where I am at...
