Leipzig, Too Human, Halo 4 rumours, Star Wars: Force Unleashed demo – wow, what a month. Just as soon as it began, August is coming to a close. So looking back, what happened? Well, we saw the release of Too Human at last, which was met by average reviews from the critics (although I’ve had a quick peak around the net and some of you seem to love it). We got a chance to play a demo of the upcoming Star Wars: Force Unleashed, and most of us weren’t disappointed. We also saw the console version of Capcom’s Street Fighter IV make it’s debut at Leipzig GC 2008. So what next?

It’s sure going to be a busy month. So what are my picks for September? Without a doubt, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, it just looks awesome. I had a quick go on the demo last week, and being able to throw stuff around with the force was freakin’ sweet. Head over to Xbox Live and download the demo if you haven’t already. Another game a lot of you will be going nuts over is Rock Band 2. New songs, new game modes, new options. Fans of the first game wont be disappointed. RPG fans will be casting a watchfull eye over Square-Enix’s RPG Infinite Undiscovery, due out at the start of the month. It’s worth noting that IGN.com have already reviewed this game, giving it a 7.1 out of 10. Other games that stand out from the rest include LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Silent Hill: Homecoming, and Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway.
Whatever type of games you’re into, it’s likely that you’ll find something to keep you fingers twitching this month with the amount of games scheduled for release. So once again, watch this space for all the latest news and features, and enjoy the month guys.
