Halo 3: ODST - Xbox 360 – September 22

No, it’s not Halo 4, and no, Master Chief’s not (allegedly) in it, but spin-off ODST is still a Halo game and therefore it demands attention. We’ve already played co-op multiplayer mode Firefight, and can confirm it’s a blast, but it’s the night time open world campaign, complete with flashback missions, we’re most interested in. This marks a major change in direction for the series, one that’s held on to the foundations the original Halo game established way back in 2001 with stubborn determination. Once you’ve finished the opening New Mombasa mission, the city becomes yours to explore and you’re able to hunt down clues to your squad’s disappearance in whatever order you see fit. Bungie’s remained quiet on what kind of side missions will be available, new enemy types and the inclusion of the Flood, but we expect some surprises. Halo 3.5? Perhaps, but that’s good enough for us.

Borderlands - Xbox 360, PS3 and PC – October 23

Four-player co-op FPS action complete with RPG-style levelling and looting, all wrapped up with comic book-style visuals. If that doesn't sound exciting to you maybe it's time to get a new hobby. Borderlands has been a long time coming, but this October it'll finally land on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, and we can't wait. We've seen it at various stages throughout development and never has it not looked like being a winner. After the solid but ultimately rather uninspired Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway some might think this might end up going to same way, but we've got high hopes that Gearbox and enthusiastic CEO Randy Pitchford will pull this one off.
