As we move into September, some gamers may be reluctant to acknowledge the upcoming Holiday gaming season. Sure, the next few months may be home to multiple high-profile releases, but by December our wallets will have cried more than during a Steam Summer Sale. However, thanks to a number of delays, there’s still some breathing room during the next few weeks.
One of the most notable releases this month is that of Borderlands 2, which looks to improve greatly on its predecessor, both in terms of narrative and gameplay. The long awaited Torchlight 2 makes its debut on PC, while Wii owners can look forward to Kirby’s Dream Collection in the middle of the month. A smattering of sports titles will also make their way to consoles, including NHL 13 and PES 2013.

I’ll be buying Borderlands 2 and The Testament of Sherlock Holmes. I loved Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. Other than that, it’s going to be a pretty slow month for gaming.
This month has nothing for me. October and November are promising though.
Nothin really here for me either. Although I am alive was a fun game. No replay value though unless your in to getting all the trophies. But fun game.
I’d never heard of Tokyo Jungle, so I looked it up. I watched the trailer and it was so stupid I can’t believe it actually got the green light.
Why is Jet Set Radio listed twice?
This is the calm before the sh*tstorm that’s coming in the next few months, with a small break and then another giant, lengthy sh*tstorm. Although there are a few big titles releasing this month. Nothing I’m interested in, though.
Jet Set’s listed twice because it’s exclusive to PS Plus members for a week.
That’s what I figured.
Big month for me, I got NHL 13, Borderlands 2, and Fifa 13 already all payed off. Don’t really know how I am going to divide my time to play all three.
Getting Borderlands 2 and Mists of Pandaria. Sucks that I will only have a week to play Borderlands 2. At least the only other games I’m buying come out in late October and November.
