The Dealy-O:
Personally, I think this is a supple month for gamers. My definite plays include Dead Space, Little Big Planet, and Fallout 3. I would also love to get my hands on a 360 and play Fable II.

In case you noticed the lack of love for the Wii, there is a simple explanation... It's a barren wasteland.

Nintendo's not the only slacker, more DS games are coming out this month than the PSP will see the rest of the year. But let's stick to the issues at hand(held).

On the portable scene, DS has a new Castlevania and PSP has a Star Ocean revamp, both of which look to be nothing short of sweet.

Music fans can finally let the battle of Rock Band vs. Guitar Hero play out. I'd love to play either, but I need some scratch (Word? My bird.) Plus you've got SingStar coming to boot.

Any way you hack it, there's more than enough to keep you busy this month and we'll do our best to let you know what's worth your time. But don't let me do all the talking, please leave comments and let me know what October games you are most looking forward to!


One Life out.
