So, I was sitting here compiling the news for today’s “Best of the Rest” post, when I realized something: October 21, 2008 may go down as the single greatest day in gaming history. In fact, when you look at the games slated for an October release, October, 2008 could very well go down as the single greatest month in gaming history (for software).
Now, you’re probably thinking I’m an idiot… as per usual… but hear me out. Have a quick glance at the release schedule for October 21st:
BioShock (PlayStation 3)
Dead Space (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)
Fable II (Xbox 360)
Far Cry 2 (PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3)
LittleBigPlanet (PlayStation 3)
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Nintendo DS, Wii)
Star Ocean: The First Departure (PSP)
That’s just for one day! And if that’s not enough, Tom Clancy’s EndWar comes out on October 15th, and both Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 and Fallout 3 rear their heads on October 28th.
A few other notable titles coming out in October include: Guitar Hero: World Tour, Saint’s Row 2, SOCOM: Confrontation, Fracture, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant, Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour, Midnight Club: Los Angeles and Blitz: The League II.
This doesn’t take into account games like Rock Band 2, which have yet to announce release dates for platforms besides the Xbox 360.
For those of you who, unlike me, aren’t lucky enough to have an October birthday, what’re you all hoping to pick up?

Thats a $360.00 value+ tax. That means Im going to be broke, for the rest of the year.
Add Dead Space to October 21st because that’s coming out that day as well.
20th. It’s listed. Hell, it’s pre-ordered for the JW household.
It’s the 21st it’s in trailers and was stated by EA

…huh. Well, when you’re right, you’re right. List has been updated.
Heh, thanks.
LOL coincedentally I actually have a birthday on October 11! How convenient! I think I’m only going to get 2 games so I think I’m gonna get LBP for sure and probably Motorstorm Pacific Rift.
1.LittleBigPlanet
2.A reasonably big game that you forgot to put on the list- Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
3.Midnight Club: LA
October is looking very, very good. I love SOCOM, but LBP will probably win me over. And don’t get them all at once – all will be available for many months to come, and some will drop in price, and I doubt most of the highlighted games won’t be commercial successes. I mean, unless you want to!
There is another game that should be on the List. Eternal Sonata for the PS3 is coming out on Oct 21st also. At least that is what Amazon.com is listing.
i’ll pick up Fable 2 and LittleBigPlanet and then later i may pick up Far Cry 2 i need 2 do sum research on tat 1
LOL I will too go broke….
