The gaming calendar is getting busy again, so here’s a helpful guide to the September release we reckon are worth checking out. If it’s out in September and it’s not in this list… think twice before buying it.

Dead Island
UK Release: 09 September 2011
It’s not much like that trailer, but it’s still an atmospheric, detailed and original first-person survival horror RPG.

El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron
UK Release: 09 September 2011
If you don’t think there isn’t enough freshness and creativity in games development these days, then you owe it to yourself to buy this just to make a point.

NHL 12
UK Release: 09 September 2011
EA Sports is getting everything right lately except golf. Ice hockey isn’t golf though, so NHL 12 is another solid, decent iteration.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
UK Release: 09 September 2011
Bit of a wet dream for Warhammer fans, this. You get to be an ass-kicking Space Marine, which is basically like being a tank with a crew cut.

Gears Of War 3
UK Release: 20 September 2011
If you’re a 360 owner and you need me to tell you to get this, then you’re just weird.

F1 2011
UK Release: 23 September 2011
Last year’s F1 2010 was the first really good F1 game in years. All F1 2011 really needs is an improved career mode.

FIFA 12
UK Release: 30 September 2011
We’ve only briefly dipped into the preview code but already we’re confident this is going to be a strong season for the FIFA series. The Impact Engine now governing collision physics is very impressive.
