Norwegian paper Dagbladet wrote an article about the upcoming games this fall, here’s my list. All games are inbound for the 360, unless stated otherwise. List is in no particular order.

Dead Space
Tired of the same old same old fast-paced action based First Person Shooters? There’s nothing like a great Survival Horror game to set the mood for those pesky, dark autumny nights. Also, survival horror in space? What could possibly go wrong?

Silent Hill: Homecoming
More Survival Horror! I never really played the previous Silent Hill games, but after all the FPS madness of the later years I’ve grown to love more story oriented games. They’ve made the camera player controlled this time around and hopefully it’ll play great.

Fable 2
After loving the original Fable I really have no choice but to buy this game. It’s more of the same, including co-op, a trusted dog companion and a much greater Character Morphing aspect. I’ve big hopes for this one.

Fallout 3
Post-Apocalyptic Role-Playing Action. The infamous PARPA genre. Bethesda did great things with Oblivion, hopefully they will expand on that. Add the Fallout universe and you got one hell of a recipe.

Mirror’s Edge
What I loved most about Assassin’s Creed was the opportunity to roam. Run around doing crazy stuff parkour style. Mirror’s Edge is all about parkour, free running and an beautiful city. I have Faith!

Gears of War 2
The sequel to one of the best Third-person Shooters ever made. This bomb of male testosterone will definitely keep the neighbours awake most of november, as the game is released the 7th. Gearing up to kick Locust Ass!

Honorable Mentions: Football Manager 2009(PC), World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King(PC - once a junkie, always a junkie), Prince of Persia(360), Left 4 Dead(360), Saint’s Row 2(360)

Oh yeah, and if Sony releases a Little Big Planet PS3 bundle in Europe I’m (finally) getting one. The game looks truly awesome.
