    I know the following PC games coming out in October and November.

    Fallout 3
    PES 2009
    GTA IV

    I don't know exact dates, maybe you guys can fill me in on those.

    Also, what other big titles are coming out during this period?

    I heard Mirror's Edge was pushed to January? And Starcraft II for 2009 as well.

    i didnt know GTA IV is so out so soon, i might have to have a look at that, online could be very cool and so could some mods

    at first i was quite interested in Fallout 3, until i saw the way you fight people and then i lost all interest

    Yep. The CE has been pre-ordered. New locks and a 'Do Not Disturb' sign has been purchased. Toilet and fridge have been moved near the computer.

    Of course! Who can forget the COD series, that ''World at War'' seems pretty good so long....

    P.S. Looking forward to EndWar, but it's not a simultaneous release w/ consoles, I think they delayed it to January because of piracy or something like that... but the game looks superb!!

    if i get GTA IV it will be my first GTA game on PC as well, but im going to wait to see what extra content has been added over the console version, i played it on PS3 and wasnt that impressed so the main selling points for me will be the mods and the multiplayer, if they arent up to scratch then i will not be getting it.

    no offense, but ign.com and others are dedicated to giving you 'dates'.

    if you want to discuss them, then sure :)

    - I think GTA4 mods will be sick :p
    - Fallout 3 looks good, but I still haven't finished Oblivion
    - what is pes 2009?

    Yeah, I was considering it, but I may just buy a PS3 for that one (online community on console for sports games is huge compared to PC)

    If the mods are anything like the Hot Coffee mod then, yes, they will be sick. Literally.


    Once Fallout 3 is released Oblivion will become moot. A totally different gaming experience. ;)

    No dude, as in, I bought Oblivion at full price before the semester started, got rid of my desktop, moved far away, and haven't played it for more than an hour. I'm so stingy with money I'll probably just play it out even though there are better games or I have better things to do simply because I dropped the cash on it once i get a new machine... :)
