Phew! That was a lot! Looks like it will be another great holiday gaming season. What are you picking up? What will Saint Nick hopefully bring you?
(Note: As always, all Amazon.com links have our affiliate code embedded in them. If you purchase something through our link, we get a little commission. It’s appreciated.)
– Now you know why August is always so bare. It’s a Madden Holiday!
– Maybe someone’s already pointed this out, but every time I see this box art, I immediately think about 
– Worst video game name EVER.
– Possibly Day One for me. If I didn’t have enough to play already, let’s throw this one on the list.
– Is this title a euphemism?
– Wonderful adventures await you in Hello Kitty Online!
– Normally I’d call this a Day One Purchase but with my new Gamefly Day One Rental (and then purchase) Trick. I cannot wait for this game.
– This game win this month’s worst name and best boxart. I have no idea what this game is, but I’m intrigued.
– I haven’t heard of this one, either, but it’s at least a discrete way to get that mouse pad.
– I don’t know a whole about this game besides the fact that Monster Hunter is big in Japan. Here’s another game I’m interested in (that I’ll probably never play)
– Let’s not
– Isn’t that an oxymoron?
– Strong runner up for boxart of the month.
– I’m watching from the sidelines to see how this games matches up with Modern Warfare 2. I’m planning on sticking with MW2 but I’m always up for a good fight.
– The last main Final Fantasy game I played was FF3 on the SNES. Maybe it’s time to get back in.
– I think I’m going to pick up some of the extra RE5 content sometime down the road, but if you haven’t played RE5 yet, I’d recommend it. It’s rather underrated in my book.
– My mancrush on 
– I thought Dragon Age was to be another Bioware Trilogy? It seems like this would be taking away from time they could be spending on a sequel. Or maybe this is all part of the plan.
– It’s the month of 360 jRPGs!
– Was this game initially called MotoGP 09 but then got behind schedule? They already had all the box art ready to go so they just added the /10? Sounds reasonable to me.
– I thought they made this game already (at least three times) when they called it God of War
– One of the first games I played on the 360 was Just Cause. It was flawed and at the time it didn’t grab me. Not sure I’m ready to give it another chance.
– Seems like this game was poorly timed…
– Strange name for a game.
– The DS is almost five years old. I would have figured we had tapped most of “Classic Collections.” I stand corrected.
– The latest Pokemon sure snuck up on me.
– If you would have told me there would be more than one Build-a-Bear game when the 
– PLEASE tell me how this game will be fun. Can you win it all by just listing everything on Craig’s list?
– I think this game comes highly recommended from 
– This is all I need to link for this month, right? No PS3 owner cares about the rest of the month, right?
– I fell in love with Rapture when the first Bioshock came out, but when I finished the game, I felt that I had seen everything that needed to be seen. Not sure I’m really on fire for playing Bioshock 2.
– You can never get enough of “line up items of the same color” games.
– Really, Nintendo? Really?
– If this game is online, I may pick this one up.
– Starring Duff from MTV!
– I’m linking this specifically because (a) I love Strong bad and (b) I am an attractive person. This must be a cool game.
– Glad to see Everquest II is still going strong. With or without me.
– I’m torn on Bayonetta. On one hand, it looks beautiful and wicked stylish. On the other hand, I’ve never gotten into the stylized-action-game like Devil May Cry or God of War. Maybe it’s time to try.
– In a month loaded with triple-A titles, I’m worried I’ll never get around to playing this, but I am definitely intrigued.
– I didn’t even know there was a Divinity I. Anyone have any info on this game?
– Gotta fit this game in somewhere I guess.
– Another one I’ll probably end up passing, but I wonder what I’ll be missing.
– There it is. This should do just fine to tide me over for quite some time. At least until February. I hope it doesn’t take me two years to finish this one.
– Walk It Out? Sleepover Party? Have you Wii game makers have no shame?
– This looks like a solid DS strategy game. Tempting…
– Haven’t you milked us enough already, Pop Cap?
– Looks like the Sims 2 will not die.
– So. Amazon is saying that Dead Rising 2 is coming out January 1st. Is this true? I checked some places, and all I could find was a release window of “Q1 2010” which technically means it could come out January 1st. But certainly that is wishful thinking. VERY wishful thinking.
– One of the few games that actually looks interesting this month
– Probably the biggest release this month. I love that they went back to the Wind Waker cel-shaded look. I’m definitely looking forward to this one, even if I don’t pick it up on day one.
– So, it looks like Playmobil is the next LEGO? Does that mean we can look forward to more? Because that would be the opposite of awesome.
– Here it is, the missing title that completes the Nintendo DS game library. I can’t believe we’ve waited this long.
– Yikes, this game sounds boring.
– A member of the Four November Horsemen, Dragon Age: Origins will probably be in most Buttonmasher’s consoles.
– Kid’s Hero?
– Okay now this is getting ridiculous.
– Has Turok taught us nothing?
– I don’t know how much this damages my gamer cred, but I’ve only played Call of Duty 2. Maybe I should give this Modern Warfare thingy a try.
– Risky, launching this week. I’m guessing a Venn Diagram of Modern Warfare Gamers and Dragon Ball gamers would have minimal intersection.
– November’s 
– Better jump in a fridge for protection!
– Yay for more plastic crap!
– And then there’s Chaotic: Shadow Warriors. Will this game sell one hundred copies?
– Will people be trampled at Wal-mart for a chance at Karaoke Revolution?
– This game wins the inadvertently hilarious boxart. Just look 
– Woohoo, another chance to link my 
– Yup. Solving crimes, one Sudoku puzzle at a time.
– This game is also known as “The Reason Tony is paying 85 dollars to fix his Wii”. I cannot wait for this game.
– This appears to only be available on the Wii. Coincidence?
– Nothing like this to whet the appetite, right?
– Linked based solely on the killer game title.
– Seems like it too a long time to get LBP on the PSP. Will it be worth it?
– It’s the week of Mother Nature’s WRATH!
– I’m at a loss for words. I vaguely remember hearing about this game before today, but it just hit me how terrible a SAW game could be. Also how awesome it could be.
– Yes, people are getting very excited about this one, as are we. We should have a review for this one up shortly after it comes out.
– I haven’t heard anything about this one. Brock, can you fill me in?
– Another one I know nothing about. Where are these games coming from?
– EDITOR’S CHOICE. If I pick up anything on day one, it will be Borderlands. I am very excited about this game.
– Okay, so maybe there will be two day-one purchases.
– After Lost and Damned, I’m a little GTA’ed out. Not sure if I’m picking up the newest episode. But this disc is interesting — you don’t need the full GTA IV game to play the expansions.
– I thought I had heard somewhere that Alpha Protocol was delayed, but Amazon is showing that it’s shipping this month.
– This is getting some good buzz. I still need to play Dead Space!
– This is being released with two Wii Motion Plus adapters. This is how it should have originally shipped.
– This is called a Haunted House Simulator. You can’t go wrong with that!
– No Whammies! (I wonder if 
– Save your money and play the real thing!
– Oooh, tempting
– Who brought the rain?
– This is going to be a crazy good week for PS3 owners.
– My pick for Box-art of the Month.
– Nat mentioned this game earlier.
– I’m not going to judge.
– One of those titles completely under the radar.
– I can’t speak for them personally, but I think a few bloggers around these parts are a little more than excited about this one.
– I’m a Forza guy, but I’m still interested to see how this game turns out.
– Possible day one purchase.
– Why release the week of Halo?
– Day one purchase for me.
– Maybe this one, too? This week is looking good.
– Don’t laugh, I’ve heard these games are actually pretty good.
