Might not be the a major seller, but the anticipated sequel to the Koei crossover series Warriors Orochi is due out in North America this month. It features characters who've had a huge impact on Chinese and Japanese mythology, including Miyamoto Musashi, Ts'ao Ts'ao, Chuko Liang, Son Wukong (the Monkey King who inspired Goku of Dragon Ball fame among others) and, of course, the legendary serpent, Orochi himself. The game itself is an action game set on various battlefields in a fictional scenario that forces legendary heroes from both the Three Kingdoms period of China and the Warring States era (Sengoku) of Japan, plus a few others, to battle in a twisted world controlled by the evil Orochi. The game's a crossover between Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors.

Nevermind...

Though I can't wait for Warriors Orochi 2. I hope Lu Bu is still using his regular style...

Isn't the new Silent Hill out this month?

As of a few days ago, it seemed to be still up in the air, but now it looks like Silent Hill: Homecoming is going to be out on the 30th for PS3 and XBox 360. The PC version doesn't have a firm date yet.

How could anyone make a article on major game releases this month and leave out Rock Band 2?

I have no idea...

That's a definite mess up on CBR's part.

Yeah, sorry about that. My plan was to put it on next month's list, as that's when the full bundle is releasing on the 360, to coincide with the release of the game on other platforms. I could of just included a blurb about that, though.

In terms of what should go on the list each month, I'm totally up for suggestions, as it probably won't be all inclusive unless it's a light month for releases. I tried to include a mix of both multi-platform and platform-specific releases.

Suggestions for October?

Just one suggestion for October: Fallout 3.

October has Saint's Row 2, Far Cry 2, Red Alert 3, Fallout 3, Fable 2, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Guitar Hero World Tour, LittleBigPlanet, Dead Space, and more.

It's a HUGE month.

I also think SOCOM; Confrontation comes out in October, and the beta for Call of Duty: World at War will be starting up.

Lots of hard decisions to be made.
