My Pick of September

Sorry about this people, but I will not be giving a list of releases for this month. This is due to the fact that I found an ENORMOUS amount of inaccuracies in a source that I thought I could trust. The source had the well-publicized releases down right but as I checked for back-up confirmation on some of the lesser-known titles, the results were pretty bad. So I'm just going to go to my pick of the month

My Pick

This month seems to be the calm before the storm that is October and November, however this month has two big releases. One in the form of the capper of a trilogy and one in the form of a compilation HD re-release. One is Gears of War 3. The other is The Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection.

So, what's my pick? Well, while I like Gears of War, I've never been a huge fan of the series and for me, it's not necessarily a Day 1 purchase. So I'm going to have to go with The Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection.

While neither of these games sold all that well, they're considered to be among the finest games from last gen. Unique, visually beautiful, solid gameplay and design, and in the case of Shadow of the Colossus, HUGE bosses. The thought of seeing this with current-gen PS3 graphics has me salivating. I've played them before but I still really want to see them updated.

So if you haven't played these two games before and have a PS3, or want to see them with updated graphics, this is the one I would pick up. If you're not any of the above, Gears of War 3 still promises to be a great purchase.
