Kicking off the first day of October 2013 is NHL 2K4 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, followed by Beyond: Two Souls on the 8th, also for the PS3. Up next is the anticipated Pokémon X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS, taking the beloved franchise to the next evolution on October 12th. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes snaps into action on the 18th, with Batman: Arkham Origins hot on the trail on the 25th - both available for all major consoles. Closing out the month on the 29th are Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Battlefield 4 , both available on the PS3 and Xbox Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter was released on the PC, PlayStation 3 and the Xbox One in 2016. It’s a Victorian-era detective game based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective. The game’s setting is roughly set around the same time as Assassin’s Creed: Syndic Sequel or no, Dark Souls found the North American word-of-mouth that its predecessor couldn't, making it a household name and guaranteeing a sequel . What is most surprising is that Demon's Souls was, itself, a spiritual successor to From's past King's Field series. So the third time really is the charm, at least where extremely punishing action-RPGs are concer Both these games don’t have the more powerful tools that some of the aforementioned games have, like God of War or Marvel's Spider-Man . There are no filters, borders, or depth of field options in the replay function. It is just raw gameplay, but they still look pretty decent. Just think what you can do with a decent photo mode in one of these games: you’ll be able to capture those game-winning goals from Neymar, or those big hits from Mack in all of their glAssassin's Creed Identity is making its way onto the mobile market in just under three weeks and to promote the game, Ubisoft released an announcement trailer that is just all around dull and utterly boring. Even the actor portraying a regular shmoe who transforms into the assassin character (likely the protagonist of the game) looks bored and angry throughout the trailer. It’s as if just having to play this game during his short walk down the tunnel had squandered his entire day. Assassin’s Creed fans that enjoy exploring and sneaking around large historical landscapes will definitely get a kick out of arguably the best game in the series. The Assassin’s Creed games have yet to fully explore a World War setting beyond flashbacks but until then Sniper Elite 4 is a great alternat There's no question that Dark Souls came along at the perfect time, when the PC and console audience was primed to embrace a game that sought to kill them at every turn, not simply dismiss the game as "too difficult." If you're looking for evidence, then there's no better example than From Software 's previous game, Demon's Souls . Featuring a similar hero, similar enemies, similar gameplay and similar punishing difficulty, Dark Souls might as well be a direct sequ October is shaping up to be a killer month for great video game titles!

As for me, I'm ready to get the mega evolutions of my favorite classic starters in Pokémon X and As the holiday season looms closer, gamers everywhere prepare for the impending release of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One . There's a lot in store for current-generation systems before November hits, however, so let's jump in and take a l Though based predominantly on the movies rather than Mario Puzo's original novels, EA's The Godfather games can at least be traced back to Puzo's work by extension. The second of the two games was a little disappointing, though the original, which encompasses the events of the first movie, is one of the best GTA clones arou Square Enix's classic survival-horror series Parasite Eve serves not as an adaptation of a novel, but instead a direct sequel . The first entry picks up right where Japanese pharmacologist Hideaki Sena's 1995 novel left off and incorporates many of the same themes, ideas, and charact Like the games themselves, Parasite Eve can at times be quite terrifying through its exploration of human biology and helped the author to win numerous literary prizes. There was even a movie adaptation of the novel in Japan, which managed to rake in almost a million dollars despite its limited theatrical rele By the mid-1990s, few companies had distinguished themselves in the realm of role-playing and turn-based combat like Square (now Square Enix), so when Nintendo decided to inject their mascot into the formula, they turned to their Japanese colleagues.
