While it’s freakishly convenient when companies cram all sorts of knowledge into their press releases, it also saddens me in a way. With an abundance of information, it can be hard to find room for the funny or otherwise offbeat in such a tightly-packed post.

That’s my reasoning for the header image and I’m sticking to it. First up, here are the month’s new Games on Demand titles:Call of Duty 3andRainbow Six Vegas 2(out now);Grand Theft Auto IV(October 13);Midnight Club Los Angeles, Army of Two, andSonic Unleashed(Oct. 20); and finallyDiRTandDead Spaceon the27th.

As for Avatar accessories, there’s a bunch of it on the way. Madden NFL gear on the8th, Halloween costumes on the15th, and GamerchiX outfits (kill me) on the22nd. If I catch any of you sporting clothing from that last one — even for the sake of “irony” — you’re getting booted off my friends list.

Finally, there are deals to be had. OnOctober 12, theHasbro Family Game Night-branded Xbox LIVE Arcade titles go on sale, then it’sResident Evil 5‘s “Versus Mode” DLC on the19th, andFable II Pub Gameson the26th. Decent line-up, especially when you consider some of the so-called deals of the last few weeks.
