This Week's Releases: LittleBigEdition

It's another good week for new games and here are my picks for this week:

My Game of the Week

LittleBigPlanet (PS3)-10/28

If you've been following my blog, you know that LittleBigPlanet is one my most anticipated games of the year. Having played the beta, I'm pretty convinced that this game will be a load of fun. Whether you want to just go through the story mode, create some levels, or play with some friends, this game will have you covered. LBP promises to be a truly unique experience and it's my pick for the game you should get this week.

Fallout 3 (PS3, 360, PC)-10/28

I have to admit that I wasn't too impressed with the demonstrations of Fallout 3 at E3, but it just doesn't seem to be able to demo well in a short period of time. Everyone who's gotten a chance to play it speaks very highly of it and I thought that Bethesda's last effort, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, was a really good game (even if it wasn't necessarily my cup of tea). So, despite not being too initially impressed, I have faith that the game will turn out well. RPG fans should check this one out.

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3)-10/28

I really liked the original Motorstorm. The driving mechanics were really well done and the graphics were some of the best ever when it released, but it was a little lacking in content. While Pacific Rift's graphics won't blow you away like the first one, they are looking to fix that whole lack of content thing. Twice as many tracks as the original and splitscreen multiplayer look to give this new game a lot more life. The demo played pretty well and this should satisfy Motorstorm fans and other racing junkies.

Fall 2008 continues it's stretch of great releases this week with two games that will probably be two of the highest-rated of the year (LBP and Fallout 3). Any of the above games should provide some serious fun for gamers this week. Next week will have another solid slate of releases and I'll be back with my picks.
