Good start-of-the-month, y’all. I imagine you’ve been lying awake at night wondering just what digital delights await you this month. Well, we here at TGR are determined not to disappoint you – just remember that it’s the thought that counts – on that note, here’s the September 2009 edition of The Playlist. This month’s collection of releases is a bizarre mix of the big and showy, the seriously bizarre, all with a smattering of the kid-friendly.
September’s upcoming games are as a collective the definition of the melting pot; different games, different themes, from many different developers. You’ve got Guitar Hero 5 going to town against The Beatles: Rock Band, the futuristic craziness of Section 8, those with A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, the manly men of Halo 3 ODST in contrast to the sexy heroine of WET, all while the Ninja Turtles do battle against the Mini Ninjas. This month is all about gaming liberty, and you have all the freedom to stay inside and consign yourself to a fine month of gaming.

Superheroes have never looked more heroic, more super, or more shiny.
