Is it that time again already? What? It's been that time more than once over the past couple of months? Whatever. Shut Up.

September is going to be another best month of the year, so you'd better secure lots of overtime at work, or you're going to have to sacrifice eating on Tuesdays. There are that many great games coming out, I'm sorry but it's true. I'm going to have to do it... again. That's correct. This month gets another (much coveted) GoY Seal Of Approval™.

If you can't be bothered reading the whole thing then heres a quick list of the games:

1. Golden Axe: Beast Rider
2. Assassin's Creed Platinum/Classic
3. Facebreaker
4. Infinite Undiscovery
5. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
6. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky
7. Spore
8. Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise
9. TNA Impact!
10. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
11. Multiwinia
12. Samba De Amigo
13. Rise of the Argonauts
14. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
15. Yakuza 2
16. Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
17. Civilisation IV: Colonisation
18. Crysis: Warhead

Hurrah for Beast Rider! I don't care what anyone says about it, I'm so excited to see Golden Axe again I'll play it til my thumbs go numb no matter how awful it turns out! And I'm hoping it's great. It probably will be. I just know I'm so giggly school girl about it that I won't notice either way until a month after I've beaten it.

Thank you for the happy reminder of a great time of year!

Hmm, looking at all of them, I would probably pick Spore. Unfortunately, my computer is too weak for any of these games, so I'll pass -.-

Spore + Colonization = enough to last me until whenever Empire: Total War comes out.

Multiwinia is the multiplayer form of Darwinia right? If so, I don't get the interest everyone is throwing at that game. When I played it (Darwinia), I was thoroughly unimpressed. Maybe multiplayer will be better.

Aside from Mercenaries and The Force Unleashed, I could care less about any of those games. I'm too busy salivating over Fable 2.

Stalker:clear sky, I just got the original and am currently up to my waist in scary open world FPS/RPG fun! the sequel looks like they will have removed the mountains of technical issues brought the term AI to a whole new level.

Ragther shamefully, the only game on there I'm considering buying is Viva Pinata 2. I need to save up the muneyz.

1. Never heard of, might be good, not holding my breath.
2. Don't care
3. Never heard of
4. Never heard of
5. Didn't like the first one
6. Gods no!
7. Meh... More interest in it before they kept pushing back the release date... VG blue balls.
8. Still haven't tried the first
9. Never heard of
10. Maybe... Not a big fan of MMORPGs, and Games Workshop inspires fanboysim, but looks good.
11. Multiple wieners? WTF? Never heard of.
12. Never heard of
13. Greek myth should stick to what's good... Titties and beer, titties and beer.
14. Star Wars games are always a gamble, not holding my breath on this one.
15. They made a Yakuza 1? Was it any good? If you can practice yabitsume on failed henchmen, I'm interested...
16. Meh.
17. Yeah, like Civ4 was good for more than a week, and the first expansion more than an hour.
18. Holy crap, it took all the way to the bottom of the list to find a game I'm actually interested in. 1/18, not a very bright outlook this September.

I have somehow convinced myself that WAR online will be totally worth it and totally unlike WoW and that the fact they cut 30% of the classes and 70% of the capital cities a few months before relesase won't matter at all.

Force Unleashed has my interest as well (is it all platforms?) and Colonization is always fun. The rest sounds like games for boxes I don't have anyway. But I would LOVE to play Mercs 2, that game was unreasonably fun. It's like the purest essence of what's great and fun about GTA.

I'll probably end up getting Spore and Star Wars.

When does Mirror's Edge come out?

Shut up Dayne Gonsalves, Rock band 1 isn't even out where I am yet (stupid EA distribution)

Spore, Mercenaries 2, Hells highway and (maybe) S.T.A.L.K.E.R all look good.

This list is based for UK readers which is why there's no Rock Band 2

Reply to the title: No, I don't. None of these are exceptionally high up on my list of games I want. Maybe TFU. Demo was fun enough.

If in doubt about any of the games, the videos in the link are quite persuasive - especially the Warhammer one. I don't even like MMORPGs and that video made it look quite appealing.

It is a little amusing that I just bought a new computer yet I likely won't afford a new game until October or November, and I'm already way behind on releases. The last game I bought was, I believe, The Orange Box. Or maybe GTA IV.

Yakuza 2's the only thing up there I really care about at the moment, at least until Spore goes to the Ps3.

TFU, maybe if the price comes waaaaaay down, and it actually has some decent things to do with the force (Like bending those walkway bars out of shape so the Tie Fighters would run into them - that was pretty neat).

The only two in that list that I'm interested in are Star Wars TFU and Merceneries 2.

Thats why there aren't that many decent games up there.

I now feel dirty cause the only game thats coming out on my birthday are two Dance Dance Revolutions.
