If I missed a game you really want coverage on then simply send your write up to me (via PM). If it's good enough and follows proper formatting I'll add it here with credit to you! Check the "Other Releases" section at the bottom to see what games I would want write ups for but am not all too qualified to do myself. You can also do write-ups for games I didn't even list. Sometimes things slip my eye.
Some rules and stuff.
- This is mainly North American releases, sorry. I'll, on occasion, do a European or Japanese release if it's big enough and not already out in America.
- If a game is already released in English and is being released again for another region, I won't bother adding it. Like say if Half Life 2: Episode 3 was out in America in April (it won't) and it came out in May in Europe, I won't list it for May. I'll also do the same if a game was released in English (aka Europe or America) and is being released in Japan.
- I get my dates from GameFaqs, Wikipedia, and IGN, so if a date is wrong don't blame me. You can, of course, point it out and ask me to fix it if you have the right date.
Platform: 3DS, Xbox 360, Playstation 3
Developed by: Rovio
Published by: Activision
Release date: September 25th (North America), September 28th (Europe(
Genre: Puzzle
My Hype Level: Not for this price
GBAtemp Hype Level: BOO ANGRY BIRDS
I really have nothing against Angry Birds. It's not a bad series of games, just maybe not my thing. I thought a collection of Angry Birds games might be nice for consoles when this was announced but it's really quite a bad package for the price. It's just Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio with some upped graphics, additional levels, and various control methods. No Angry Birds Space and at a $40 price point ($30 for 3DS), it's too rich for my blood.
Platform: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC
Developed by: Gearbox Software
Published by: 2K Games
Release date: September 18th (North America), September 20th (Australia), September 21st (Europe)
Genre: FPRPG (that's what the package on the first game said)
My Hype Level: Eh, I'm very weary on this one.
GBAtemp Hype Level: Probably some moderate hype
I really enjoyed the first Borderlands but I'm not really sold on the second one. I'm just not liking the direction they're taking it in entirely. The humor seems just kinda dumb and the characters don't seem cool. The first game was funny and well done. Here it just seems like "LOL DUBSTEP". Plus with most of my friends off at college, I doubt I'd find anyone to play it with. And if you can't play Borderlands with friends, you just shouldn't play it.
Platform: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Vita, PC

Published by: Sega
Release date: September 18th (North America) [Vita version comes in October]
Genre: Adventure
My Hype Level: I'm eager to try it
GBAtemp Hype Level: HOLY FUCK
I never played Jet Set Radio so I'm eager to give this a shot. I just don't know if I should go for Xbox 360, PC, or Vita. But anyway, this seems to have been getting a lot of care from Sega despite being "just a HD port" and people are really looking forward to it. Hurray.
Platform: Vita
Developed by: Tarsier Studios/Double Eleven Studios
Published by: Sony Computer Entertainment
Release date: September 20th (Japan, Australia), September 21st (Europe), September 25th (North America)
Genre: Platformer
My Hype Level: Might give it a try later on
GBAtemp Hype Level: Some hype from Vita people
I haven't had much experience with LittleBigPlanet outside of the PSP version which was alright but forgettable. Yet again I never dabbled in the user content for the PSP version so that didn't help. This looks to have a much better creation suite and a good crop of features so I may give it a try when the price is right.
Platform: Vita
Developed by: Marvelous Entertainment (?)
Published by: Konami
Release date: September 27th (Europe)
Genre: Strategy
My Hype Level: Would love to try it
GBAtemp Hype Level: Under the radar
Unfortunately it's only a European localization for this one so far. Little King's Story was one of the few bearable strategy games in my book since I've become so disenchanted with the genre. Hearing there was a sequel was great, and having it for the Vita was just icing on the cake. It's still TBA for the rest of the world but Europe struck gold on this one.
Most of these are titles I really don't know much about so write-ups are much appreciated
