The storm is coming!
Today marks the release of Dead Island, what’s sure to be the first in an endless assault of blockbuster games coming at you this fall. From the moment its memorably trailer hit the web, Dead Island has excited gamers with its promise of touching music, island imagery and undead enemies.
But with so many games hitting shelves in the next few months, which ones should you spend your lunch money on? Here’s a brief rundown of some of the biggies to watch for.
Resistance 3
Really, really pissed.
The third installment of the PS3-exclusive, Resistance 3 picks up 4 years after the end of Resistance 2, with the humans still waging war against the chimera, who have now taken over 90% of the Earth. Awesome? You be the judge.
Release Date: September 6th, 2011
Gears of War 3
Steroids.
Featuring 4-player co-op for the first time in the series and a host of new guns, new enemies and even more camera shaking while you run, Gears of War 3 is gamer-tested, juicer-approved.
Release Date: September 20th, 2011
Battlefield 3
Holy $#&@ this looks real.
This game has literally made jaws drop with each new trailer. With absolutely stunning graphics never before seen anywhere by a game, Battlefield 3 is promising 64-player multiplayer battles on PC, fighter jets and a new co-op play mode. This could be the best first-person-shooter of all time (after Turok 64 of course).
Release Date: October 25th, 2011
Modern Warfare 3
Little Known Fact: the guy on the cover is actually Pee Wee Herman
Not one to be outdone, the Call of Duty megatrain rolls onward with their newest incarnation: Modern Warfare 3. With a revamped killstreaks system recently revealed at Call of Duty XP in LA, stunning graphics and the return of Spec Ops mode, the CoD franchise refuses to let Battlefield steal the glory. Think they’ll battle it out West Side Story style with a dance off? One can only hope.
Release Date: November 8th, 2011
