So its video game season again, the most wonderful time of the year! Lets take a look at a few of the games that will be taking your time and money from you this fall.

NBA 2K13                        (October 2, 2012)

With this years release, the 2K series looks to (somehow) improve on its already outstanding NBA simulation video game. The game play will remain the same for the most part, which is perfectly fine. Highlights for this year’s game will include a revamped “MyCareer” mode, an awesome soundtrack put together by the game’s executive producer, Jay-Z, and more nods to previous eras of basketball (1992 vs. 2012 Dream Teams anyone?). NBA 2K13 will be rated E for Everyone, and will be released on the PC, Playstation 3, and the Xbox 360.

Resident Evil 6              (October 2, 2012)

The premier survival-horror game from Capcom makes its return this fall in the series’ sixth installment. Returning for this game are fan favorites and series veterans Chris Redfield and Leon Kennedy, both as playable characters in a globe spanning campaign. Also making a return in this entry to the delight of many players are the traditional zombies players have grown to love (or hate).  Players will be able to fight for survival either alone or cooperatively with a friend. Resident Evil 6 will be rated M for Mature, and will be released on the PC, Playstation 3, and the Xbox 360.

Dishonored                        (October 9, 2012)

Developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks (Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Fallout 3), Dishonored is a first-person action game that puts players in the role of a former bodyguard of the Empress of Dunwall, who has become a deadly assassin after being wrongfully framed for her murder. Through a combination of dark magic and unique weaponry, players must stealthily take out anyone and anything that stands in the way of their innocence. Dishonored will be rated M for Mature, and will be released on the PC, Playstation 3, and the Xbox 360.

Assassin’s Creed III             (October 30, 2012)

Ubisofts’ blockbuster franchise returns for its final installment this fall, and it looks awesome. Set during the American Revolutionary war, players once again take on the role of a new Assassin doing his part to thwart the plans of the evil Templars. Players will travel the cities, frontiers, and the seas of colonial America in their quest to stop the Templars, and to do whatever it takes to make sure America wins the war. Assassin’s Creed III will be rated M for Mature, and will be released on the PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, as well as the Wii U. The PC version will be released on November 23, 2012.

Halo 4                          (November 6, 2012)

After more than ten years since the original game’s release, the Halo series is back this fall with Halo 4. With a new developer at the reigns (343 Studios), Halo 4 marks the first entry in a new trilogy that aims to further expand and explain the vast Halo universe. Players return to action in a game set five years after the events of Halo 3, to find a Master Chief ready to face his destiny. While the game will most definitely feature an epic story campaign, the most exciting feature about Halo 4 will be its multiplayer, which now allows players to create their own custom Spartan and progress through your multiplayer career in both competitive and cooperative game modes. Halo 4 will be rated M for Mature, and is a Xbox 360 exclusive title.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II                        (November 13, 2012)

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the next entry in the blockbuster series, and a direct sequel to the best-selling Call of Duty: Black Ops. Featuring a campaign that will explore both the past and the future, Black Ops II looks to offer a promising and satisfying single player experience.  As with the other games in the series, there is once again a heavy focus on the multiplayer aspect of Black Ops II. Featuring a cleaner interface, a revamped “Create-a-class” system that aims to offer unprecedented customization, and a heavy focus on eSports integration, Black Ops II looks to do what it can to go back to basics and offer the most refined Call of Duty multiplayer experience to date. Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be rated M for Mature, and will be released on the PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, as well as the Wii U.
