Yeah, it's that time of the year again. As it gets closer to Christmas, it comes time for the floodgates of video games to be opened and all these great games come pouring out into the hungry hands of the masses. Lovely, isn't it?

I've got this big list of games that I'm looking forward to, but I don't think I'll be getting ALL of them, if even half of them. I dunno, time will tell. For one, money is kind of tight this year, so I just can't go out and blow a bunch of money on games.

But some of the main games I'm really looking forward to is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Lego Batman, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Fable 2, among others.

I was REALLY looking forward to that new Ghostbusters game, because I used to love the Ghostbusters as a kid. But now I hear that since the game has lost it's publisher, the the game might indeed be cancelled. I've heard people saying that Gamestop cancelled their preorders, and you can no longer find the Ghostbusters game on Gamestop.com. Sucks.

I got to play The Force Unleashed demo, and I've played it about 15 times by now. It's really short, but damn it's fun. If the whole game is anything like the demo, this could very well end up being one of my favorite games of the year, and possibly my favorite Star Wars game (right now my favorite Star Wars game is Jedi Academy).

I love Batman, so I'm looking forward to Lego Batman. To be honest, I kind of don't like the whole Lego thing, I wish they would have made a different kind of Batman game, but if this is all their going to throw us right now, then I'll take it. Besides, the environments look really nice and dark and semi-gothic. Playing as the Joker should be fun too. I also really like how their throwing in the score from the first Batman movie. I'm not a big fan of puzzles tho, but it's a kid's game that even adults can enjoy, so I doubt the puzzles will be brain teasingly hard.

Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time, so Fallout 3 is looking promising. The only other Fallout game I've ever played was that Brotherhood game on the PS2, which played like a Diablo clone. The graphics in Fallout 3 look really good and actually look bloody with some good gore effects mixed in. So I'm really looking forward to this. I know I hear a lot of people putting down Fallout 3, because they feel like Bethseda isn't doing a good enough job, but since I never played Fallout or Fallout 2, I have nothing to judge Fallout 3 by, which in this case, may be a good thing.

So September is going to be kind of busy, with SW:TFU coming out in a couple of weeks, and then a week later Lego Batman. Then in October I've got Fable 2 and then a week later Fallout 3.

That's enough boredom for now. Until next time.
