Man, November and its releases really snuck up on me this month. Never mind that it’s by far the busiest month of releases, that the Wii U is launching and that this is one of the stronger line-ups in a while. It was just “BAM!” and I realized it was already November 5th. So let’s get to the releases:
Week of November 6th
Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection
Saints Row The Third The Full Package
NASCAR The Game: Inside Line
Mass Effect Trilogy – And here we start off strong, with a package that is easily worth twice what they are charging for it. This is the perfect gift for that member of your gamer family that has yet to experience the awesomeness that is the Mass Effect Universe (you know who I’m talking about). Don’t ask, just get it.
Halo 4 – I have picked up every game in the Halo Series at launch (except Wars) and while I will be picking this game up soon, I may actually hold off a little before I pick up Halo 4. I’m still enjoying Borderlands 2 to switch games at the moment. But Halo 4 will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
Week of November 13th
Tropico 4 Gold Edition
F1 Race Stars
Call of Duty: Black Ops II – I’d have to go back and look, but has a Call of Duty launched this close to a Halo game? I guess it’s been quite a while since Halo 3, but it is going to be interesting to see how the launches match up against each other.
History: Legends of War Patton – If my dad played video games, he would definitely dig these History Channel games.
The Hip Hop Dance Experience – Looking at this track listing, I’m not really sure if this is exactly a “Hip Hop” experience.
LEGO Lord of the Rings – A holiday release wouldn’t be complete without a LEGO release.
Midway Arcade Origins – How many times does Midway think we’re going to buy this? /Buys it
Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed Bonus Edition
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two – Coming soon: DLC characters of Luke Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks.
Week of November 20th

Week of November 13th
Nintendo Wii U Console – Black Deluxe Set – Tempting. So very, very tempting.

Brock says
The only thing I’m definitely getting is Hitman because I have it preordered on Steam. Otherwise, I’d like to get Persona 4: Golden but I’ve vowed not to get it until I’ve finally finished P3P. Plus I already sunk 110 hours into that game on the PS2, so I’m not in as big of a rush for it.
I’ve got so much still to work on from October (and earlier) that I’m breathing rather easily now!
Tony says
I’m with you — still too much to work on. I’m still having too much fun with Borderlands 2 to really branch out just yet. But Halo 4 will be mine before the month is over. And I still have games from October I want to pick up. Never enough time!
Brad says
Ooooo. I’d gladly pay $60 for the Mass Effect trilogy. That’s awesome. After having rushed through borrowed copies of the second and third game, I wouldn’t mind starting over with my own copies. AND I’ll have my own key for online play 😀
Tony says
I highly recommend it. Online is a lot f fun. I’ve tried to do multiple playthroughs making different decisions along the way but I always end up being the good guy.
