Games I want

As a game collector, we are rapidly approaching the time of year that I both love and hate: the Fall. The Fall is when all of the game companies traditionally launch their big titles leading up to the Holiday season. From September through Thanksgiving, it is a time of plenty for gamers everywhere. It is also a trial by fire for your wallet.

Without further adieu, I present the list of games coming for the rest of the year that will probably be bought (most anticipated titles highlighted):
