PS3 Games of November

November is the biggest month of the year for gaming as such writing this piece has taken far longer than any of my other pieces. We here at PS3informer have created a list of standout titles this month and rate how good we expect the title is going to be based on preview builds and what features are in the game.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Need Money...not enough to buy all.......not even to buy all I want!

[Omegasyde]

I thought about "hooking" the corner for some extra dough, but apparently I am not good looking enough. I guess I will try some other sidejob like Robbery or selling my body to science. Who knows, maybe my "wang chung" will get bigger.

A real Hardcore gamer does anything for games ;)

[jackfatal]

letter to the devs!
if you start with PS3 - is you can create the optimal, ultimate game. And then you can knock out functionality to put it onto other platforms!

and with all these games coming out in November and October and with a price cut!! things looks in ps3 favour!

[Rama26285]

If you can wait and have some generous friends/family/relatives, then Christmas is just round the corner and you could perhaps get some/all of these games then! I'm certainly having to put a few games on my 'wish list'!

[Mallow]

There are a bunch of titles, I'm picking up Rock band, Uncharted, CoD4, maybe SoF and maybe Assassin's creed.

I'm still not sure about Assassin's creed.

[SabreMan]

i guess your not buying those mate as i won't be buying the six i am

it seems the muppet disagree troll ghost is around again

[ruibing]

Good list, I am getting Uncharted and Assassin's Creed.

[SabreMan]

Looks like November is looking likely to be the best yet for the ps3 especially with Ratchet & clank coming out on November the 9th for us English gamers

impressive stuff indeed about six titles i will be buying this month

[Fighter]

Uncharted is the only first day purchase for me.

COD 4 looks great but I should save my money for Unreal Tournament III.

Assassins Creed looks interesting but I'm still not sold on the game, I will wait for reviews.

Haze might be really good but too many FPS games to choose from.

I will buy either GH III or Rock Band but not both. Rock Band has more instruments but I only like playing the guitar so far but I may wanna try the drums for a change.

@ Crimson Wolf & Omegasyde

I hear ya buddy. I will be broke because this last quarter of 2007 and most of 2008 will have a lot of good games that are all different and unique. I will most likely be single for all of next year and I will have to hope for those easy chicks to have one nite stands with. They love to drink : )

[DrPirate]

This is my EXACT story.

[patriotZero]

Where is Unreal Tournament 3??

[americanGTA]

delayed =(

[Daishi]

Not like the delay will hurt anything, gives more people the chance to get Haze!

[Leg-End]

i dont understand how someone can disagree with the fact that he is wondering where ut is

[jiggyjay]

It's pretty cool how a blu ray player is able to play games! Props to Sony!

[TheExecutive]

lol this guy still uses the argument that the PS3 is a bluray player that plays games sometimes...

[jiggyjay]

Well isn't that what it is? That's Sony's selling points for that POS3!

[Leg-End]

at all.

it's like "ps3 has no gamez" - it's old

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

And the 360 is a box that you can buy add-ons for.

[Shenzilbur]

My goodness this November looks fantastic for those of you in the northern hemisphere. Will have to wait a few more weeks for games like Uncharted and such. I will have to work my @$$ off the next few months to get these awesome games.

[nix]

why so many games...??? q:

[jackfatal]

please call 911 before u commit a suicide because ps3 is around the corner looking for a chance to kill the 360!!

[Daishi]

I like how you say this when almost all the games listed are multiplatform. "If you have hate in your heart let it out" -Dave Chappel.

[Rama26285]

Only problem with that comment is that only 3 (Time Crisis, Uncharted, Haze) out of all those games are exclusive to the PS3.

It's a great month for both consoles :)

[The Wood]

Those with the loot or the desire to get most of these games plus the games on other systems that have not be mentioned should do the same

sad but true

[Mattguy]

Oh my god Oh my god! I don't know what to do! I forgot cain n' lynch was out this month-dammit. Well for me at least COD4 is must at least and maybe uncharted assasin's creed to.The rest well, I'll just put them off 'till christmas(sorry haze!!)

[Solid_Skip]

its about time the really good games are comming out, dont know what to choose...i know, i will sell some blood to get the money to buy them :)

[Bebedora]

We haven't got ratchet yet. (must buy)
We haven't got uncharted yet. (must buy)
We haven't got GHIII yet.
We haven't got AC yet.

All in november. And I want money to a HDtv too. Gaah!

[MK_Red]

Nice list but terrible ratings. Bladestorm 8!? The game is hardly 4 worthy.
Assassins 9!??? It's 11/10 game.

[nix]

and note only the list. the damn ratings are way off the chart!

[Daishi]

Hey now MK_Red dont knock it till you try it. Just because you dont like a genre doesn't mean it wont be great for those who do... But I completely agree with you on Assassins Creed 11/10 all the way. Thank goodness Super Smash Bros. Brawl doesn't come out in Nov...

[Mr PS3]

Gonna pick up COD4,Assains and kane and lynch

[Jeba]

oh my god that guy playing made me ROFL!

[hardcorehippiez]

games drought over now :) gonna be broke for ages now

[NaAsAr]

when i will be picking up uncharted and time crisis 4. i would have already paid my major bills by then..hehe

[americanGTA]

I HATE BEING BROKE!!!!

..........and i gotta get super mario galaxy

[goodganja]

You mention all of these quality titles on PS3 and what is XBOX getting?.........NOTHING.

This is exactly what their 2008 lineup is going to look like. Nothing but multiplatformers and Ninja Gaiden.

P L A Y B 3 Y O N D

[Edwin1989]

please read the list... a lot of multiplatform games!

please explain what you mean with "NOTHING"? ;)

[Rama26285]

The Xbox is getting all of them but 3 (Time Crisis, Uncharted, Haze) so it's a good month for both consoles! So I think to say 'nothing' is a bit harsh ;)

[DEADEND]

WOW why did HAZE get a 8.25, I thought it would get a least a 9.0 but I guess it's a AA title then.

[Sevir04]

it's just what people are ecspecting and with it's level of hype surrounding it, personally it's all about this list...

[Edwin1989]

those ratings are estimates made by the author of the article, nothing to be afraid of:)

[Mr_Kuwabara]

What is this obsession that people have with triple A titles in this generation? Sheesh is it an obligation for it to be AAA for it to be a good game?

I guess if a reviewer gives 7.0 to a game then it's a bad game... (Although this site is just reviewing from the previews, hype and anticipation)

[kunark]

idk haze looks sweet think they rated it low cause of so many fps games but for me ill take haze over cod4 im not a big cod fan didnt even know about kane and lynch gonna have to go look that up but fyi dont liston to ratings buy game sites here lately they have been way off wait to read the actul game player reviews and can anyone tell me what goty is?

[Rama26285]

Kane & Lynch looks like a very interesting game that deserves to be checked out. GOTY stands for Game of the Year - in this case for Oblivion. It's basically Oblivion with all the expansions and extras all on one disc.

[Sevir04]

"Why, because we all know that there is no games for the PS3, those games are all a fiction of your imagination PSTards"......

so says the xbox fankids....

MWA HA HA HA, This is just grand soo many games in one months luckliy for me there are only 3 thats getting my money this month and 1 out of the 3 is a first day purchase. everything else will be totally ignored

wont be bother by the rest. i'll prolly get rock band, but hat like next year in the summer, after DMC4, MGS4 MGO, LBP, KILZONE, Deark sector, burnout paradise, Motorstorm2, GT5 and what ever else surprises next year has around that time of year.

PS3 has no games... my ass.

[goodganja]

PS3 has TOO many and I mean TOO many titles for XBOX to compete with. And with such a wide variety plus another price drop will sucker the hardest XBot fankid out of Micro$hit hell and into Sony heaven.

Does micro$hit honestly have a counter attack to

Metal Gear Solid 4
Final Fantasy XIII
Time Crisis 4
Tekken 4
Afrika
The Agency
Boku no Natsu Yasumi 3
Buzz!
Singstar PS3
Untitled Syphon Filter Project
Untitled Twisted Metal Project
God of War III
Untitled Team ICO project
Disgaea 3
White Knight Story
Resistance 2:Rise of Man
Eight Days
The Getaway 3
Hot Shots Golf 5
Eyedentify
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Gran Turismo 5
Mass Effect Port
Untitled Rockstar Project
LA Noire
Haze
InFamous
Little Big Planet
Motorstorm 2
Heavy Rain
Unreal Tournament 3
Yakuza 3
Zone of the Enders 3
Eat Sleep Play Project
Untitled Kingdom Hearts Project
Wipe0ut

Nothing competes with this... NOTHING.

[Rama26285]

I like the list you put together. Looking at all those games shows that eventually you'll be able to live off of just exclusive titles and not have to rely on multi-platform games as much as we do now. I wont get into the whole "who has better exclusives" but what I will say is that list proves that there is a lot of diversity in the exclusives which Sony create. One of the things I really like about my PS3 is that I know I'm going to be able to get lots of different types of games.

[Daishi]

Where's Comand and Conquer on your list Goodganja? Oh that's right.... Sorry to bring that up, I'll never mention RTS around you again... Oh that's right you don't even know what that genre is you've never been able to play one, so I guess I'm off the hook this time.

[ninja_united]

i just need one fps till killzone2 comes out and it will definetely be soldiers of fortune. sof (present) and kz2 (future) u know what i mean.
maybe ill get uncharted as well

[Rama26285]

The UK isn't getting all those games in November I'm afraid. COD4, Bladestorm, LEGO Star Wars, Assassin's Creed, Need for Speed, Elder Scrolls GOTY, Kane & Lynch, Haze, NHL 2k8, NBA 2k8, WWE Smackdown, Ratchet & Clank, Half Life 2, Lair, Stranglehold, Playstation Eye and The Simpson all come out in November for us (and a few other smaller games). The other games on the list come out as below:

Blacksite - January 08
Soldier of Fortune - December 07
Medal of Honour - December 07
Uncharted - December 07
Rock Band - No Date
Time Crisis - March 08 (!!!)

[MikeGdaGod]

Rachet
Uncharted
CoD4
AC

i just got the Eye this weekend and EyeCreate is really fun. can't wait till they add everything else with it.

[Relientk77]

This month is gonna leave me broke

the games I really want are:

UNCHARTED: DRAKES FORTUNE
ASSASSIN'S CREED
RATCHET & CLANK FUTURE (from Oct but its still #3 on my want list)
HAZE

^ and yes those are the 4 games I want most this season

[monkey602]

This really is the month every PS3 owner has been waiting for. I can barely afford one of these games let alone all of the ones I want, And to make it worse there is still a bunch of games that are already out for both PS3 and 360 that I want. Being a Student does make you poor :(

[americanGTA]

ok guys, i'm sure most of you guys want MOST of these games, not all...

and, its not like you can beat all the games you want in all in one month anyway.........

and most of these are multi platform.

with these being said, most of these prices will drop in half over time.

Lets start from the top:
Area 51 & Bladestorm: Price will drop b/c there are other games that are better, that I rather spend my money on. ITs mulit platofrm. and it looks like an eppic fail. so the price will drop a few months after release.

Call of Duty 4: multi-platform, Price will drop within 6 months.

Lego starwars: The Complete Saga: Ok, thats fun, but its multiplatform, so play uncharted frist... and when your sick of it, maybe the price of this game will go down.

Assassin's Creed: multi plat, price will drop

Need for Speed: unless you are a Need for Speed fan, IT would be best to wait for GT5.

Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back: That game needs to prove it self, so dont buy it at launch. You gotta read the reviews.

Medal of Honor: Airborne?: Just get COD4

The Shivering Isles: Price will drop, the ps3 game oblivion is $30 now...

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men: Ok, looks awesome... but its multi platform, so price will drop sooner than an exuslive, so get Haze or uncharted first.

Rock Band: HOLD OFF ON ROCK BAND AND GUITAR HERO FOR ABOUT ONE OR 2 MONTHS, IT WOULD BE BEST TO WAIT FOR A 3RD PARTY TO MAKE A GUITAR THAT WORKS WORKS WITH BOTH. YOU CANT USE THE GH GUITAR ON THE ROCK BAND GUITAR AND VICE VERSA... WAIT FOR A GUITAR TO COME OUT, THEN BUY THE DRUMS AND GAMES SEPRATLEY...SO GHIII + ROCK BAND will total for about $175

Time Crisis 4: This game is awesome, but some people may not like it or not..

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune: Ok, buy at launch $60 will last you a while

Haze: buy after uncharted

Simpsons game (not here): will drop to $20 in a few months i promise.

[monkey602]

While I dont completly agree with all that. The idea of waiting for Rock Band and GH3 guitars that work with each other is definitely a good idea. And as for Lego star wars, Just buy the PS2 versions they have to be cheap now.

[KINGDRAMA]

i too am following the First part dev PRIORITY. 90% of everything else will fall short of expectations/ be rushed out/not optimized for the cellBE.

support the great games get everything else later on...by then maybe the devs that couldnt care less about optimization will have all the proper tools and techniques HANDED TO THEM .........along with a bib.

[zsscommand]

Im going to be so poor, gotta make sure I have enough for Uncharted, Haze, and possibly Assassin's Creed/COD4.

[monkey602]

My list consists of

Old: Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Bioshock, Dead Rising, Viva Pinata

New: Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Mass Effect, GH3, COD 4, assassins Creed, Haze and Rock band.

But I think if I got Uncharted, R&C, COD4 and Mass Effect I would be happy until next year. I really want one of the guitar games but with my budget it just isn't an option

Edit: This list also doesnt touch on the games I want for Wii and PSP but luckily there arent too many of them, and the only urgent one is Resi Evil, Umbrella chronicles

[PimpHandHappy]

RnC so i can afford Uncharted and COD4

even thou i can afford all the games i want i only allow myself a game or two because i still have one game i need to beat, Graw.

Im still on HS hell mode. I play one or two levels every so often and when i beat Graw i will have two games to trade in come Dec. Thats when i look for a traded in RnC. Maybe get it for 30bucks

Thats a nice list and i am hyped about a next-gen tomb raider with action akin to Gears of War

[PimpHandHappy]

i never played Guitar Hero and that game is really starting to look like a must buy.

The cost of COD4 Uncharted and GH is really steep for a month b4 i start shopping for christmas. UGGGGG

im going to be broke

[monkey602]

"im going to be broke" arent we all bud.
But in my honest opinon GH is the most fun I had on PS2 since timesplitters 2 and I'm really torn between getting GH3 or Rock band.

[xplosneer]

Have you seen the timesplitters 4 video?
OMG hilarious.

[monkey602]

Nope I missed that, going to check it out now, thanks for the heads up +bubble for you dude

[GRiMLiNX]

hahaha !!! the must be kidding ?? rock band rating 10 ?? i mean its fun but that soo not a real rating not by a long shot

[Leg-End]

and then mass effect comes along and destroys these games...

anyway, i cant wait 4 uncharted and cod4 - us europeans still dont have rachet

[monkey602]

Mass Effect looks amazing and all but I'm more excited about the future of my PS3 than my 360. Mass Effect looks to be the only 360 game I'll be getting between now and next year, There is just too much for my PS3

[Kratos_Kart2007]

I have to commend this guy for not journeying into fanboyism.....His previews were well rounded and Honest

[djtek184]

kiss my social life good bye.

[wangdiddy82]

The ps3 definitely has the best holiday line up this year.. I think everyone knows that.. Its crazy how many good games are about to drop on the ps3 within its first year.. Im really happy to own a ps3.. Im not buying another 360 game until ninja gaiden 2.. Not interested in mass effect at all..

I will be picking up uncharted for sure, Cod4, Haze if the gamers like it ill pick it up, and Assassin's creed if the gamers like it too..

TIPS FOR BROKE PEOPLE.. If you are a costco memeber they sell there games cheaper than anywhere else.. There usually around $49 bucks. Also they have blu ray movies now.. They come in like bundles, you get 4 or 5 blu ray movies for 60 bucks or something..

[Kleptic]

I don't know, all the multiplatform games have completely worn off on me...

AC simply looks boring...it was great looking a year ago...but it looks exactly the same now, and the gameplay stuff after E3 wiped it off my radar...I will see how it turns out, but being excited for it right now is not the case...

CoD 4...got a chance to play the beta...Great looking game...and deep multiplayer...but still a linear pacing and attempt at realism that bores me...lack of vehicles doesn't help either...its one I will probably end up owning eventually, and deserves a high score and everything...but after playing Warhawk non stop...as well as some Halo 3 here and there...I don't have any time for the slowness that is CoD games...

Kane and Lynch...keep hearing about it...haven't seen one thing to get my attention...army of two was the EA TPS I was slightly interested in...the graphics look unimpressive, and the gameplay looks similarly generic imo...

and I never really enjoyed the music games...

Uncharted...day 1 purchase...
Haze...still on the fence...am more excited about it than CoD 4, but less than UT3...the additions to the gameplay seem great, but haven't seen it played enough yet...I hate to say it but I may rely on reviews for that one...

and that pretty much rounds it up...there are still some big games coming in December that I will get...but as far as multiplatform games go...this year isn't shaping up anything like what I was told (best season in gaming...ever...)...and the 360 only has Mass Effect this year...then....NG2 whenever that is?

Uncharted and Mass Effect are the two main games left this year imo...both really push their respective systems...both should end up being unstoppable...everything else will be more or less left in the dust this year...although I still have my fingers crossed that UT3 makes it to the PS3 this year...thats the defining fps I am waiting for...
