Rest For The Weary

So after spending what felt like a fortune on Halo: Reach, I am absolutely grateful that there is absolute NOTHING that I am interested in for a good short while. My next run into spending hell will be on October 26th, when 3 games are released that I am -hoping- I will be able to afford all of.

Topping this trio? Yes, WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011.

These past few years I have been telling myself that this one is it! No more after this! But every year I am drawn back in with the updated rosters, updated graphics, updated whatever it is that hooks my attention (and wallet). This year's game is sporting an updated physics engine, which basically allows a player to slam their opponent onto and/or through various objects and such.

But what seals the deal on capturing my interest is the WWE Universe mode, which basically makes exhibition matches and what not, feel and play like their TV show counterparts. Yes these all seem complete with #1 contenders, run ins and all the madness that is pro wrestling.

Second on my trio of interest is Fable III.

What needs to be said about Fable III? If it is anything even remotely like Fable II, then I imagine I will be hooked to the game for quite a long while here after.

But then, as I mentioned in a previous writing, I am liking this idea of being able to rise up and become King (or Queen). I am hoping there is a decent amount of freedom in this aspect, as I would absolutely love to play out being a just King and eventually a tyrant.

Lastly is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.

I enjoyed the hell out of the original game and I thought it controlled pretty well and the story was interesting to me for the most part. As far this sequel is concerned though, I am a little concerned with this cloning business that seems to have StarKiller (the main character from the first game) either back from the dead or is a copy of the original.

But that aside, I've read that there will be more uses for the Force this time around and maybe even a couple of new powers added to the mix. I like that. I like destruction too.

Until then, I will continue on with my newly aquired Netflix addiction which has me watching so many different TV shows and movies, I think my head is about to explode. But it is kind of nice to have this service now, as that means I now have even less (or practically no) reason left to go to those dreadfully irritating rental stores.

Oh and Borderlands is getting (I think) it's final DLC in ClapTrap's New Robot Revolution next Tuesday which has to be pure awesome in itself. I think Borderlands is probably the only game I think I've ever bought DLC where the content was actually fairly better then decent.

Speaking of Tuesday, I believe Iron Man 2 is hitting DVD on that day and I've got my eyes on Chris Jericho's biography DVD (Breaking The Code: Behind the Walls of Chris Jericho) too.

Well wouldn't you know it! I just might end up broke before October after all!
