New Games This Month: November 2009

by Justin McElroy { Nov 2nd 2009 at 3:15PM }

While there are still a few games that you'll want to purchase, this is one of the mildest Novembers we can remember. Why, there's hardly anything you'll have to have after you pick up Assassin's Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins and ... oh who are we kidding? No one's wallet is getting out of here alive.

whoops...

Zoot Suit Jedi @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:20PM

Don't forget those spirit fingers, Ezio! B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E!

calgaryalta @ Nov 2nd 2009 4:12PM

jazz hands!

BunnySlapper @ Nov 2nd 2009 4:04PM

I didn't realize the main character in AC2 didn't cut his finger(s) off to make room for the wrist blade like in AC1.

Lack of committment much?

fundando @ Nov 2nd 2009 6:30PM

Better technology is all.

Vcize @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:21PM

You're so cool.

Vadrix @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:22PM

Can't wait to have that Ezio figurine sitting on my desk.

Victoryismine @ Nov 2nd 2009 4:03PM

I got my Master Assassins copy waiting for me in the shadows I can't wait for Ezio to take me down...... maybe I should have worded that differently..... no sounds about right.

Old Professor Zertoss @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:23PM

I have Assassin's Creed 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Left 4 Dead 2 and New Super Mario Bros Wii preordered. I think my wallet will make it, but the damage done this month won't have time to heal before Q1 2010. THAT is what will kill my wallet.

Victoryismine @ Nov 2nd 2009 4:09PM

My thoughts exactly I'll make it thru Q4 this year but mainly cause I preordered most of the games I'm after and paid them in full shortly after E3 it's Q1 next year that will leave me pennyless, shirtless, Jobless, and crying for more!

sam @ Nov 2nd 2009 5:42PM

Don't worry. When Q1 finally arrives all the companies will suddenly realise that there are like 4 major titles scheduled every single week... and 3 out of those 4 will promptly be delayed to Q2. :)

M.Garvey @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:23PM

MW2...AC2...GOW Collection...oh man!

RagingStormX @ Nov 2nd 2009 8:56PM

I know thats right...

Dreaded Fear @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:24PM

You are such a cool, hip gamer. You know that games that sell well can't be good. You are so unique because you only like exclusive PS3 games. Man, everyone strives to be the snobby, fanboyish gamer that you are.

/sarcasm to the max

Roddie @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:24PM

Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles is the only one I'll be picking up.

james @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:34PM

the graphics are friggin nuts for a wii game.

Ashitaka @ Nov 2nd 2009 4:25PM

Uuh, I love that way of ending sentences. It's a great game! "for a wii game."

Billy @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:25PM

Dying with anticipation for MW2... that's the only game I'm getting this month though. I just don't have time to play like I used to. There are many more games that I want though, of course...

CheeziePotato @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:25PM

MW2, AC2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, L4D2, and God of War Collection are the games for me this month.

samfish [is sad there is no Gene in Tats v Cap =( ] @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:25PM

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and bet that Assassin's Creed 2 severely under-performs. It feels like it's severely under-hyped compared to it's expectations.

I thought NSMB Wii would under-perform at first too, but in the last month or so it seems like there's suddenly a lot more positive buzz around the game.

Preston @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:32PM

I'm betting that Ass Cred 2 will be a lot like Ass Cred 1 but with a few new mechanics, shinier graphics and hopefully not having to play the first three levels all over again.

RANDOM G [XBL: NYMZ777, PSN: NYMALICIOUS] @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:38PM

"Ass Cred"

Best abbreviation ever.

samfish [is sad there is no Gene in Tats v Cap =( ] @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:56PM

"I'm betting that Ass Cred 2 will be a lot like Ass Cred 1 but with a few new mechanics, shinier graphics and hopefully not having to play the first three levels all over again."

That's a safe bet, since that's pretty much the formula for every Ubisoft game ever.

Except the Petz games.

Das Boot @ Nov 2nd 2009 5:45PM

At least he didn't say Ass Creed, then it would just sound like a bad porn.

Mr Khan @ Nov 2nd 2009 6:11PM

There does seem to be a lot of hype for NSMBWii coming around recently, considering the lukewarm reception it got at E3.

RANDOM G [XBL: NYMZ777, PSN: NYMALICIOUS] @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:26PM

Gamefly, don't fail me now.

Gerik @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:43PM

If you're going to rely on GameFly for the most popular new releases of the year, you're screwed.

RANDOM G [XBL: NYMZ777, PSN: NYMALICIOUS] @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:47PM

I know a few tricks.

Vcize @ Nov 2nd 2009 4:59PM

This guy knows some maneuvers.

Stix Remix @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:26PM

Hey, I hear the bay bridge is open again, so why don't you go back there to do your trolling?

JXCgunrunna @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:27PM

Marius is not human guys. He is actually some kind of animal that learned how to type. Some of the best games so far of this generation and you are going to sleep? No human is going to be sleeping with games like MW2, AC2, L4D2, Dragon age... why am I listing them, Joystiq already did it for me. Go in your hole in the ground and sleep.

MW2 and AC2 for me this month!!

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:27PM

I see that the CE of Dragon Age is pretty much sold out everywhere except the EA Store. I don't think I've ever seen a Collectors Edition sell out so fast.

Old Professor Zertoss @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:27PM

Stupid sheeple, buying their western games. Everyone knows everything from Japan is far superior. I, with my superior taste, will be petitioning Namco Bandai this month to bring Bleach: Soul Carnival to the states with the original and far superior JAPANESE voices and English subtitles.

Dreaded Fear @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:29PM

@JXCgunrunna
He said SHEEP not SLEEP, though it is hard to see what he wrote now.

tmacairjordan87 @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:30PM

And you have the nerve to ask why I haven't been banned yet. Hilarious.

MilsurpShooter @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:30PM

Cash has just been sent via Western Union to my Buddy over in England. I'll have my copy of Assassins Creed Black edition soon... Soon...

deft @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:30PM

One time machine, please!

AsherR [Planeteer | Power of The Hoff] @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:30PM

Never thought I'd see the day when a Bioware game is considered a game for "sheep".

tmacairjordan87 @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:31PM

Pretty good month, I think I'll like it better than last month overall. MW2, assassin's creed 2, god of war collection, and nsmb wii for me.

Troy Powers (PSN: TroyPowers) @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:31PM

For me:
MW2
Lego Rock Band
Buzz

All pre-ordered. I may pick up AC2 next month. Man, Amazon has been making a pretty penny off of me and my video game addiction the last six months.

james @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:32PM

modern warfare 2, left 4 dead 2 and assassins creed 2. this is the best month ever.

Dreganfyre @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:33PM

Woo hoo! NSMBW! Now, how to afford it...

AsherR [Planeteer | Power of The Hoff] @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:34PM

Dragon Age, L4D2, and Kenka Bancho for me for sure.

Maybe I'll dabble with AC2.

Jerk Face @ Nov 2nd 2009 3:34PM

MW2, AC2, L4D2, and Dragon Age. And I just picked up Forza last week (Which is the shiiiiiit).
