The game industry just called to say that it was sorry for not putting anything out this summer and wants to make it up to us by releasing everything...this week. So put on a pot of coffee, get your good reading glasses out, and get comfortable because we have a metric fuck ton of releases to get through.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Release Date: October 14
Platforms: PS3, 360, PC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tcGpsNvALI[width=650,height=366]
Yeah, they’re still making Borderlands games. This one is a group effort centered around Handsome Jack’s rise to notoriety. There’s probably a bunch of guns and a spry and youthful Claptrap.
Duck Dynasty
Release Date: October 14
Platforms: XB1, 360, PS3, PS4, 3DS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmJRKgHt_D0[width=650,height=366]
Possibly the worst idea ever for a video game. Hunt, fish, and play with a bunch of rich, bearded rednecks.
The Evil Within
Release Date: October 14
Platforms: XB1, 360, PS3, PS4, PC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jII-Xg34-I[width=650,height=366]
I had a chance to play a demo of this one at QuakeCon, and it’s a full-on survival horror badass from Tango Gameworks and Bethesda. Wear a diaper when you play this one, you big baby.
In Space We Brawl
Release Date: October 14
Platforms: PS3, PS4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQFYAkPbyCY[width=650,height=366]
It’s a downloadable Sony-exclusive spaceship shooter...have fun with that.
Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2
Release Date: October 14
Platforms: 360, PS3, WiiU, 3DS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjDzYm9jzxo[width=650,height=366]
I didn’t know that Pac Man was still a thing, but he has a new platformer and the trailer looks pretty good. Maybe I’ll buy the trailer.
Petz Beach/Petz Countryside
Release Date: October 14
Platform: 3DS
Nope.
Playstation TV
Release Date: October 14
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laYbqebfTVY[width=650,height=366]
Allows PS4 players to remote play their PS4 in another room, stream PS3 games, and watch tv...for $100.
Poptropica Forgotten Islands
Release Date: October 14
Platform: 3DS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxT-Qaf7UJ4[width=650,height=366]
At least the trailer was mercifully short. Portable, kid-safe, mother-approved...don’t expect a review.
Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus
Release Date: October 14
Platform: PS Vita
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X718WIRjFD4[width=650,height=366]
I can’t pronounce the title but the boob physics look amazing. This is a Japanese fighting game with partial nudity and sexual themes. Pre-order now to have it delivered to your house in a plain, brown wrapper.
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
Release Date: October 14
Platforms: PS4, XB1, PC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvESN76BUe4[width=650,height=366]

Release Date: October 14
Platform: PS3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3wFHFRq7XQ[width=650,height=366]
The trailer gave me a headache.
The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season

Go on down to South Park, play some Sarcastoball, and respect my fucking authority...you bastards.

Fable Legends Beta
Release Date: October 16
Platform: XB1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y9sakQguc8[width=650,height=366]
Be the villain, be the hero, or alternate between the two. 4 player co-op versus a single master villain for epic 4v1 gameplay...interesting.
