Funny how quickly the big releases sneak up on us, huh? Here I am enjoying Halo: Reach and Minecraft and suddenly several games are out that I want to sink some time into. Not sure how it happened really, but there you go.
If you’re unaware, today marks the release of three of fall’s most anticipated titles. Together, Fable III, Force Unleashed II and Rock Band 3 form a triumvirate of gaming, a three headed Cerberus to close out the month of October with a bang. Personally, I’m itching to play Force Unleashed II the most out of these, with Rock Band 3 as a close second because of that sweet keyboard.
I thought I’d let you guys vote on these three games yourselves. What say you?
Force Unleashed for me. Never played a Fable game and I’m not into the music game genre. But even then, I’m probably not going to pick up TFU2 for a while yet.
Something I forgot to include on the post is that with Fable III, I keep going back and forth on it. When I look back to my time with Fable II, there are things I loved and other things that were completely underwhelming. From reading the reviews so far of Fable III, it seems like the game is getting a mediocre reception, same as the previous two. Maybe the reviews are wrong, but you think the game would at least have improved to AAA title quality by now. It only took Uncharted and AC two games to jump to that.
This poll doesn’t really apply to me, but I answered RockBand 3, simply because I know it will be at some upcoming parties over the holidays. Those games always make for a good time. I’m a geek and a musician, sheesh.
I would say it’s a toss up between Rock Band 3 and FUII. Though, I voted FUII because I’ve only had the Rock Band games on the Wii, and I don’t feel like repurchasing a whole new game, instruments, and the $100+ I put into DLC.
Exactly why my next RB purchase will be Green Day.
I’m pretty psyched for Fable III. It is sitting out in my truck right now waiting for me to get out of class to play it. I was excited for TFU2 as well but wasn’t planning on running out and buying it until I received an e-mail from newegg this morning with a code for ten dollars off (they also have promo codes for Fable III and RB3 if anyone wants me to post them on here). So I now have both games, but am more excited for Fable III.
