Releases - October 2008

This month is a rather disappointing one for me in the game department. There's nothing coming out that I particularly care about. I supposed if you're a FIFA fan or an NBA fan its going to be a great month, and there is Fable II to look forward to if you own an XBOX 360 (I don't). But other than Rune Factory 2 being pushed back to sometime later this month, and rumor that a remake of the first Sherlock Holmes game for PC is coming to the DS at some point in October, its rather boring. So I'm not posting a games list this time around.

But the DVD list looks like its going to more than make up for it. There's a lot of series coming out this fall that are all worth looking at, some of the titles that were bought up by Funimation are making their first appearance under that label, and a lot of old favorites are coming out in box sets. Its rough that the economy is tightening everyone's budgets right when you'd want to actually spend them!

I'm amused that this year's Presidential candidates are getting their own comic books. ^_^ I'm also interested in seeing how Sherlock Holmes does in graphic novel form. He's a fascinating read, but I can understand how some of Sir Doyle's language is hard for kids to read nowadays. Sad but true. And at long last the Smurfs have come to DVD, talk about old school! *laugh* I guess the studios are starting to really dig into their vaults.
