The great thing about slow release months is that like all other months, they end. The end of August is something that many gamers will celebrate because as far as game releases go it was a pretty poor month. So there was Wolfenstein as well as a couple of surprise gems such as Shadow Complex and Trials HD for Xbox Live, but all in all there was not very much to get excited about.
September is looking to up the ante quite significantly, with enough big titles to make August’s drought feel like a distant memory.<\/p>\n
The two must haves as far as MyGaming is concerned are Batman: Arkham Assylum and Aion. For gamers not interested in these two titles there are a variety of other great looking games due for release in September such as Champions Online, Dirt 2, Need for Speed SHIFT, King of Fighter XIII and HALO 3 ODST.<\/p>\n A healthy dose of Platinum\/Classic edition AAA titles being released will keep budget conscious gamers happy in September. These include Call of Duty 4 (PS3), Little Big Planet (PS3), Soul Calibur IV (PS3,Xbox 360) and Resistance 2 (PS3).<\/p>\n Release Calendar<\/strong> PC<\/strong><\/p>\n Champions Online – Sept 4<\/p>\n Red Faction Guerilla – Sept 11<\/p>\n Mini Ninjas – Sept 18<\/p>\n Star Wars Clone Wars: Republic Heroes – Sept 18<\/p>\n Need For Speed Shift – Sept 24<\/p>\n Aion – Sept 25<\/p>\n PS3<\/strong><\/p>\n Soul Calibur IV Platinum (R279) – Sept 4<\/p>\n King of Fighters XII – Sept 11<\/p>\n Batman: Arkham Asylum – Sept 11<\/p>\n Little Big Planet Platinum (R345) – Sept 17<\/p>\n Resistance 2 Platinum (R345) – Sept 17<\/p>\n Colin Mcrae: Dirt 2 – Sept 18<\/p>\n Star Wars Clone Wars: Republic Heroes – Sept 18<\/p>\n Mini Ninjas – Sept 18<\/p>\n Need for Speed Shift – Sept 18<\/p>\n Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Platinum (R280) – TBA<\/p>\n Xbox 360<\/strong><\/p>\n Soul Calibur IV Classic (R279) – Sept 4<\/p>\n Batman: Arkham Asylum – Sept 11<\/p>\n King of Fighters XII – Sept 11<\/p>\n Colin Mcrae: Dirt 2 – Sept 18<\/p>\n Halo 3 ODST – Sept 22<\/p>\n Need for Speed: SHIFT – Sept 24<\/p>\n While there is plenty to look forward to in September, October is looking even better with mammoth titles such as Uncharted 2, Borderlands, Dragon Age: Origins, Brutal Legend and Operation Flashpoint 2 all set for release in the month.<\/p>\n MyGaming’s most played games in August<\/strong><\/p>\n Tinman – Anno 1404 (Still), Heroes of Newerth, Tiger Woods Golf 10<\/p>\n Rustpuppet – Valkyria Chronicles, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, Overlord 2<\/p>\n DrManhattan – Heroes of Newerth, FarCry 2, Mass Effect, Supreme Commander<\/p>\n Lydon – World of Warcraft, Eve: Online, Guild Wars<\/p>\n Azimuth – Trials HD, Shadow Complex, Guitar Hero: Metallica, Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, Gears of War 2, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A comprehensive look at what gamers can expect in the coming month<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4347\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
The first is being billed as the best comic book based video game ever made, and from the gameplay trailers and previews that are doing the rounds it looks set to live up to this claim.
The second is a PC exclusive MMORPG which has been available in Korea and China as well as a few other regions for almost an entire year. It has been highly anticipated but the western MMO community and developer NCsoft is hoping it will secure second place <\/a>after World of Warcraft in the MMO market.<\/p>\n
