There are quite a few fantastic looking games coming out in the next few weeks.
The first of these is Fallout New Vegas, due for release in North America on the 19th of October 2010, in which you take on the role of an unfortunate courier. It is the year 2281 at the start of the game when local gangster Benny shoots you in the head and takes the package you were attempting to deliver to the town of Primm. Don’t be dazzled by the bright lights of Vegas, as you still need to take care of yourself. As well as making your way through the Mojave Wasteland (where Victor the robot digs you up), you also have to try and find out exactly why the package you were carrying is so popular (enough to warrant you getting shot in the head, anyway).
Fable III is next up, due out on the 26th of October 2010. Set around fifty to sixty years after the events of Fable II, your character is the sibling of the corrupt and tyrannical King Logan, who took the throne after the previous monarch (the Hero of Fable II) died. Forced to become a revolutionary leader, you must gain the support of the people of Albion before overthrowing your brother and claiming the throne for yourself. The second half of the game sees you as king (or queen), where you can either be a benevolent monarch or follow in your brother’s tyrannical footsteps.
Call of Duty Black Ops is due for release on the 9th of October 2010, and is a sequel to World at War as well as being the first Call of Duty game to be set during the Cold War era. You assume the roles of Alex Mason and James Hudson alternately, Studies and Observation Group operatives in the game. You find yourself in locations behind enemy lines in such as Laos, Cuba, the Ural Mountains and Vietnam, but if that all gets too much for you then limited editions of the game offer four zombie maps from World at War if you want a nice, brain-munching break
