One thing I really love about fall (For those that don't know, I hate fall!
), it's the amount of games that come out. It's cold, everything's dying, everything's wet, but who cares about that crap when there are games to play? ![]()

Muramasa: The Demon Blade - Easily the best-looking 2D game I have ever played. Beautiful visuals. This game is gorgeous. Graphics are breataki... Okay, I think you get the point. The controls are simple and the combat is a blast, although could use some diversity. Very repetitive game, but...... damn, it looks awesome!
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - The bros are back and on another adventure in... Bowser's innards?
Seriously, how'd they come up with this stuff?
If you've played the other 2 games, the game uses pretty much the same formula. Fun turn-based battles and hilarious dialogues. I love this game.
Scribblenauts - One of the most innovative games of all time. Your goal is to collect the starite at the end of every level, but instead of relying on your jumping or running ability to overcome obstacles, in Scribblenauts, you use your creativity and imagination. You can summon almost anything you want, all you need to do is write it down. Underwears, babies, rocket launchers, unicorns and God are all things that you can summon, and that's not all: there are over 22,802 summonable objects in total! No penises, though.
Lame.
Halo 3: ODST - 'New campaign, new hero' pretty much sums it up. You relive the events of Halo 2 through the eyes of an ODST and his teammates. Stealth is the name of the game. You're no longer a superhuman Spartan, meaning, you'll want to avoid charging through everything with guns blazing, Rambo-StyIe Unfortunately, the campaign is short and the only new content in this expansion. Don't be fooled by the box art, the multiplayer is NOT new.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona - Not nearly as great as the third and fourth iteration of the series, but it's nice to see how the epic franchise got its start. The battle system is very primitive and the fights can be really slow. One interesting feature is the ability to talk with your enemies for a variety of effects. Do it right, and they will reward you, but should you fail, it will backfire. Recommended to hardcore SMT fans only.
Ninja Gaiden Σ 2 - Garrrgh, I suck at this game!
It's not the controls, it's not the AI, it's not the camera... I'm just getting my butt kicked, for some reason. Supposedly, it's easier than NG Sigma, but I beat that on Normal with little to no difficulty. What gives? The co-op is insanely fun! The frustration all goes away who someone dies alongside you.
There's nothing like watching your partner being a showoff, miss a move in his perfect, badass combo, then get his ass handed to him. ![]()
That's it for this month. A little sidenote: Tales of Vesperia for PS3 just came out in Japan and I wanna play it so bad.
Namco Bandai doesn't look like they want to bring it over here. WTF is up with that? Do they seriously hate money? Stop being a little ***** and port it already! ![]()

Oh, and I have to b**** about you having money and such.
tofu-lion91: What's an LHC?
DrAwesomeMD: NG2 for 360 or PS3? good luck with that job application.
grafkhun: Unfortunately, I'm too busy with college to catch up on old stuff. I usually do that in the summer or during the holidays.
movin_target: Like I said, get a job!
SquareEnixFan13: What's wrong with Halo?
Gamer_4_Fun: It's not even out yet, lol. I just preordered today, though. Gonna be awesome.
Also, ODST isn't lying when it says new multiplayer. Firefight mode, man.

Oh, and for the record, if they had included some sort of phallic imagery in Scribblenauts, it probably wouldn't have made it onto the DS -- or any other console, for that matter. So be thankful that they didn't, because otherwise it probably would never see the light of day (on a console, anyway).
