Games of October 2008

01 Oct, 2008, 11:56 am IST | by Avinash Bali

Gaming this month is guaranteed to burn a deep hole through your pockets.

The avalanche of video games I warned you about last month is all set to decimate your savings this October. Send the wife to her in-laws, call in sick from work/school/college – do what you must to make sure you have both the time and resources at hand, because October is about to rock your socks off.

Decapitating and dismembering aliens in slow motion while kicking the crap out of spider-like babies ensue.
