Well on Tuesday, there are a few big releases. I'll go over one of those later one but on Tuesday we've got Rage, which looks like it's going to kick ass. Coming from id Software is already a good sign but the satisfying-looking gunplay makes it even more enticing.
On the same day, we've also got Crysis coming onto consoles. And as I've said, I'll talk about the other big release further down.
__________________________________________________________________
On the 18th, we've got two other big releases. One of those I'll get too further down (sorry), but the other one is Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One. The prestigious PlayStation franchise from Insomniac has been excellent so far with three solid games under its belt. It'll be interesting to see if the fourth one still has the magic of the series.
On the 25th is one of the most anticipated games of the year and EA's big shooter of the year, Battlefield 3. The beta has come out and I'll be downloading it this weekend, and Tyler is preparing to give his thoughts on the beta as well.
The gameplay footage that has been shown so far has been very impressive, though as I've said, this is a game that I want to play on my PC, which I doubt is powerful enough so I'm going to settle for a rental at the time being until I can upgrade my PC. Still, I can't wait to play it.
But for me, this month is between two games. The first coming out on the 4th and the second coming out on the 18th.
Dark Souls vs. Batman: Arkham City
These two beasts have both looked incredible throughout their marketing campaigns and both are following up two stellar games. Both are set to have much more open worlds than their predecessors and both appear to be greatly expanding on everything that made the previous entries so excellent with Dark Souls offering greater difficulty and Arkham City offering...well everything.
Both have me salivating in anticipation and I'm definitely going to pick both up, but if I could only choose one, which is it?
While I can't wait to see the punishing difficulty of Dark Souls, I am a HUGE Batman fan. He's one of the greatest characters ever created with probably the most recognizable and awesome rogues gallery in comic book history. The ability to play as him in a game as good as Arkham Asylum was a dream and the fact that Arkham City looks like it's BETTER than Arkham Asylum in almost every way makes it impossible to pass up. So the decision is made.
BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY
October has a lot of awesome stuff and I can't wait to dig in but if I had to choose one game, as a Batman fan and because of the brilliant quality that's been at work in the footage, it would be Batman: Arkham City. This was a tough choice and I didn't make it lightly. Dark Souls is set to be a stupendous game and no matter what I picked, I would be a happy person.
