September is over and the month of October has just beginning. This signals the start of the autumn video game release schedule. With big name games coming out in the few months before the holidays, some people might find it confusing to navigate through the jumble of game releases. October is a pretty big month, with UbiSoft, Nintendo and Warner Brothers releasing big titles. Here are the big name games coming out this month and a little bit about each of them.

Pokemon X & Y (Nintendo 3DS)

  • Release Date: October 8th
  • About: The latest Pokemon game has players exploring the Kalos region and using Generation VI pokemon. With new gameplay, multiplayer capability and new mega-evolutions, this is one of the most anticipated Pokemon games of all time. Pokemon X & Y will also be compatible with the Nintendo 2DS, which comes out the same day.

Lego Marvel Superheroes (All Major Systems)
