Hi Friends
When I look back on this year I am likely going to remember it as one of the most entertaining years of my life. With the immense output of fantastic movies this year, thanks to Marvel and other industries, and the promise of a powerhouse of video games in the fall/winter season, I am very happy with this year as a whole and have rarely found myself without something to do. With that in mind, I believe September is going to kick off the season of epic video gaming.
September Releases (XBOX):
Space Marine-
I'll start off with the one I am the most excited about, Warhammer Online 40,000 - Space Marine. When I was a kid my dad had these awesome space looking figurines that he would paint. They looked like this:

Every once in a while we'd since set up fortresses and go to war. I never had more fun. These particular figurines belong to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a universe incredibly similar to the regular Warhammer universe you may have heard about, but in space. Relic entertainment has recently realized the massive potential of this universe and has recently made it their new project to give us this universe coupled with a great first and third person shooter. Not only does the gameplay itself look ridiculously fun, but the customization is something I have never seen before... 1.8 BILLION customizable features. Holy [expletive deleted]. Anyway, enough talk about this one, I'll provide you a couple links and Space Marine's homepage and let you get to it yourself.

Dead Island-
Now I've been waiting a long time for a new zombie survival game to catch my eye, and to be honest I've been disappointed for a couple of years. However, after seeing the gripping trailers for this game, I knew right away it was something I was going to be buying. Dead Island is set on the island of Banoi, a tropical paradise where vacationers go to get away from the rest of the world. Lucky for us, Banoi is the perfect location for a zombie uprising.
From what I can tell, the game is going to be a first person 4 player co-op, similar to Left 4 Dead. However, the way it differs from L4D is that it will take place in a free roam open world, which means you don't need to take the same path every time to beat a certain level. You can do what you think is best to survive and THIS ASPECT ladies and gentlemen is what I think will make the game phenominal and addicting. The weapons are customizable and will degrade after long overuse so you won't be able to kill 100,000 zombies with the same baseball bat that should have been in splinters after the first 100. Needless to say, I highly recommend giving this game a shot.
