Man, videogames this fall... videogames this fall are going to be intense. (And that list doesn't even contain two of this fall's other big titles I'm stoked for that come out before November: Gears of War 3 and Aliens: Infestation.) The gaming industry certainly beat Hollywood to the punch when it came to unapologetically grinding out sequels until franchises' bones had turned to dust, but this is something you'd never find movie studios doing: Releasing almost all of their top-shelf stuff within what's essentially a three-week window. Figure in that each of these things is gonna run $60 and NO ONE HAS THAT MUCH MONEY, VIDEOGAME PUBLISHERS.

Oh, wait, did I say $60? Because I meant $150. This Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim collector's edition, featuring a 200-page hardcover art book, a cloth map, a making-of DVD, and a pet dragon... I would like it. Even though I'm pretty sure my girlfriend would break up with me if I put a "12-inch statue of the dragon Alduin, also known as the World Eater, perched atop a dragon wall" anywhere in my apartment. Yeah. I know. Take it up with her. She just doesn't get it sometimes.
