Game Releases Fall 2011 – October Continued James Schumacher, October 9, 2011February 11, 2024 Continuing our look at the October 2011 Game Releases schedule, we head to the second week of October. More Sequels, racing, air combat, zombies and magic. If only they could combine these all into one…. October 10th, 2011 Forza Motorsport 4 Forza Motorsport is the racing game series from Microsoft Game Studios and as such it is exclusively on Xbox 360. This, the 4th entry in the series is getting some attention for supporting Kinetic. Kinetic features are said to include virtual steering as well as new head tracking features. Kinect will also allow the player to “walk around and inspect the inside of their vehicle”. This is an extremely popular series due to its beautiful visuals and realistic racing. The game has been getting high marks in early reviews.

It also features a BMW Dashboard Theme, stickers and VIP community access. Amazon gets an exclusive Subaru Impreza WRX STI code while Best Buy gamers receive a BMW 1-Series M coupe.

This is a long-running arcade-style air combat game. This installment takes place in the near future (2015) with a story from best-selling author Jim DeFelice. Amazon buyers get a $10 promotional credit. Looks like Best Buy pre-orders receive the Ace Combat Limited Edition Soundtrack CD.

Along with Frank’s camera comes the the ability to take pictures for PP (points) as in the first game. The game promises to feature new cut-scenes, enemies, missions and weapons. The game also, most importantly to me, features a sandbox mode. Sandbox mode allows the player to check out the entirety of Fortune City without the annoying timed mission mechanic. As somewhat of a completionist or at least an in-depth explorer of games, it bothered me that I could not complete all side missions of the game. The timer felt like a forced mechanic, providing an illusory re-playability factor. Dead Rising 2 Off the Record Pre-orders will only hit up your wallet for around $39.99.
