Surprisingly, none of that stuff (maybe Extraction Point as an exception) really appeals to me. You've juts gotta read my opinion in that other topic to see what I think of Dark Messiah. I'm only a fan of a few RTS's, and Warhammer 40K isn't one of them (never tried Star Wars: Empire at War). MK Armageddon is novel, but there's no way I could get an MK game with parents. Never been a Family Guy fan...I just never got the show. And SC: DA I think will be a huge negative departure for the series...I thought it was going to be good until I saw the videos recently shown at Gametrailers.com...they didn't look good to say the least.
Though I can see that all those games (with the exception of Family Guy) will likely recieve good reviews. (Though Extraction Point won't do that well sales-wise due to the inexpliccably low sales of FEAR).
So that's my rant.
Now here's what I [i]AM[/I} looking forward to in Oct:
Red Star--just found out this was coming out. This along with Juiced and 99 Bullets were the major casualties of the Acclaim bankruptcy...and this one is finally being published now, 2 years later. I jsut found out about this now...it's gotten a good review, too.

It's described as a combination of Contro, Gauntlet and Ikaruga...sounds awesome. Co-Op only sweetens the deal.
Justice League Heroes: Looks a bit more compelling than X-Men Legends to me...I liked the first, but never got the second since it seemed too similar.
Test Drive Unlimited for PC: I'm a big fan of fast cars, so this game looks perfect for me. Simple as that.
NFS: Carbon: I mostly just want to see how this one gets reviewed.
NWN 2: Same as NFSC; I don't really want the game, but I want to see what kind of reviews it gets.
And then, after October's over, only one more week until a little day called Emergence Day comes...something's coming out then... B)
