..in the month of September. Actually its TO good to be a 360 gamer this coming month. This is turning out to be the best month in the consoles history by far and this is going to be my longest blogpost by far just about September 2006. I cant even remember when so many greeeat games were released in one single month. Really top-notch titles that are coming out in September:
- Ninety-Nine Nights (25th of Aug, well its almost Sept, already bought that)
- Saints Row ( Sept 1st)
- Dead Rising ( Sept 7th)
- Test Drive Unlimited (Sept 8th)
- Enchanted Arms (Sept 15th)
- Just Cause (Sept 15th)

And maybe some of the following titles
- Splinter Cell Double Agent (Sept 22nd)
- Timeshift (Sept 15th)

So. Thats ALOT of must-have titles in one single month. Its crazy, completely whacko. I mean just look at the list. I pretty much need to buy games for at LEAST 320 Dollars. Thats like 3000 Swedish Crowns and thats an insane amount of money. So I obviously need to prioritize and save some of these titles for October / Nov / Dec.
So.. wich do I chose? Lets start from the top. N3. Already bought. So thats a check. Saints Row. I wasnt going to buy that until i was blown away by Greg Kasavins 8hour marathon. Now im almost as excited for this game as for GTA 4. Sants Row have pretty high priority. Dead Rising. Pre-ordered that like 2 months ago so thats already booked. Im not even gonna motivate, its Dead Rising, period. Test Drive Unlimited. I tried out the NEW demoversion yesterday and wow it was FUN. Wasnt going to bother with this game either until i played that demo for 1 hour. A gigantic freeroaming version of Hawaii completely Online. Other cars on the roads are other players. Was really fun roaming around challenging people and going on cruises to Car Halls to sit in some new Labourghinis. I would say Test Drive has really high priority to. I mean it IS the first Massivly Multiplayer Online Racinggame and it has NO monthly fee unlike the MMORPGs. Next up is Enchanted Arms. I WAS going to buy this but I actually think I wait until Ive seen some reviews. Then its Just Cause. This game couldnt have higher priority. Ive had fun for days in an unlimited variety of ways with just the demo. This game might even surpass Gears of War for GOTY. Its FUN FUN FUN and it might just have the biggest gameworld ever..and not one single loadingtime.
The games on the 2nd list seems interesting but I have some questionmarks left so I will wait for reviews and see what happens. Demoversions would be sweet also.
So. Taking away pre-ordered games,the already bought one and the ones I will have to skip for a month or 2 that leaves:
- Saints Row
- Test Drive Unlimited
- Just Cause
So that would narrow it down to 3 more games to buy in September. That is also way to much actually. My economy is pretty sparse at the moment. I NEED to pick away more games from the September list. But now its HARD. These are games i WANT on the releaseday. All of them are free-roaming, open ended games. Saints Row are a city and the other 2 are huge tropical Islands. Ok. The structure are pretty much the same in Saints Row and Just Cause. JC are pretty much Saints Row in huge, tropical format. So lets say you only need one of those. September will be GTA-style in EITHER a city OR on a tropical island. Seems logical enough. OK. How to decide. I said earlier that JC had maybe the highest priority and i will have to stick with that. As much as I want to play SR it will have to wait for a while *sob*.
2 games left. It actually would be kickass to narrow it down to only 1 game + Dead Rising in September but I dont think its possible.
The final September-list for now will go like this.
- Dead Rising (Sept 7th)
- Test Drive Unlimited (Sept 8th)
- Just Cause (Sept 15th).
That means Test Drive will arrive the day after I get Dead Rising wich is crazy.
September is CRAZY. Its wonderful..and i HATE it.
