Now many gamers will be excited for the holiday season for the sheer joy of the games being released the end of Sept. till the 25th and some weeks beyond.

Now I am talking about Halo: Reach, Dead Rising 2 and the other great games that were just released. But there are some games that are being released that if you haven't played the current game out already, you really should.

Fallout: New Vegas is the next game in the Fallout series. If you have played Fallout 1 or 2 then New Vegas is just more of the story from the West Coast, but if you haven't played them then pick up Fallout 3. It may not be the same story line, but it is a great way to get use to the game play and view for New Vegas. New Vegas is going to be a great game, and a great expansion for the series. Great cast line up with Danny Trejo(Machete, Rob Zombie's Halloween) Ron Perlman(Fallout 3, Hellboy) Matthew Perry(Friends, The Whole 9 yards) and Felicia Day(The Guild, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog)

Rock Band 3. If you can't wait to get your hands on the keyboard and start jamming to the songs like Paul Shaffer (Late Night w/David Letterman) then your going to love it. But if you haven't enjoyed the previous Rock Band games, then your missing out. Your collection of songs is only going to be that in the game, but the up side is the older songs are not able to use the keyboard....yet.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is going to take the FPS into a war that was known for no shoots being fired, yet the most filled with conspiracy in a war so far. To be in the early years of the Cold War sounds very exciting and having the voice of Grey Oldman and Ed Harris is not a bad thing at all.

Assassins Creed:Brotherhood may just take the series to a higher standard with the multiplayer alone. The story is going to be great and the graphics are going to be epically amazing. But the multiplayer is the stand out reason to pick it up. The modes so far released in the news looking very interesting to say the less. Just have to wait.

Medal of Honor is coming back and finally into the 21th century. The new name of the "Opposing Force" may have made politicians and parents happy and more likely to buy the game. But the new look is what I think is going to be great, that and the setting may be more realistic then a story setup in Modern Warfare.

Fable 3 is going to be great. The new story and the hopeful reign as king of Albion seems like a great step in the story. I can't wait to take over and make decision in a game world I love to visit over and over. Plus the voice cast is looking great with Simon Pegg(Shane of the Dead, Star Trek) John Cleese(Monty Python movies) and Stephen Fry(Tim Burtin's Alice in Wonderland, V for Vendetta)

So look out for theses games and more as the days and weeks get closer to the holidays. Each game is now fighting to get your money and attention and some cases love and devotion. So be picky and get the info. to make the best decision before you get a game that is not what you will enjoy in the years after you finish it the first time.
