New in Stores the Week of Oct. 1, 2007

As far as quantity goes for releases this week, PC gamers don’t have much to brag about. As always though, quality is what puts a smile on my face.
Up for sale on the 1st of October is an intriguing looking RPG from developer Rebelmind, called The Chosen - Well of Souls. Don’t expect this Diablo 2 inspired demon-killing RPG to win any awards for outstanding gameplay, but at a MSRP of $19.99, it’s not a huge investment either.
The release that most people are going to be following, however, is Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, which rumbles into stores on October 2nd. Promoted as a Battlefield killer, Quake Wars combines the well established class-based multiplayer system with the Doom 3 engine, and adds in a sprinkling of RPG elements, to brew one solid multiplayer experience. If you’re not fortunate enough to own an X-Box 360 and therefore can’t participate in any Halo 3 action this week, consider Quake Wars a most enjoyable alternative. At the very least, be sure to download the demo that is available on their website.
