October kicked my ass and my fingers are begging me for a break after so many games released like Fantasy Life, Styx: Master of Shadows, Lords of the Fallen, Sunset Overdrive, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, Bayonetta 2, Shadow of Mordor, Driveclub… My fingers are just getting tired from typing all these games out. Needless to say, October was a busy month for gaming, but it doesn't look like it's going to come to a rest just yet.
November is just as jam packed with big blockbuster titles that will take you to far off fantasy lands, put you in the shoes of a hardened future soldier, or perhaps take you back to the French Revolution as a deadly assassin. Let's take a look at what November has in store for us.

Rocksmith 2014 – November 4, 2014
I had the pleasure to review Rocksmith 2014 back on the Xbox 360 and PC. It's a fantastic piece of software that can legitimately teach you how to play guitar, from simple lessons, to advanced techniques. And even though I went in already knowing how to play the guitar, I did enjoy playing a ton of popular and classic rock songs that I previously never attempted. Anyone looking to seriously learn how to play the Guitar or Bass should definitely pick this up.

The Wolf Among Us is Telltale’s episodic adventure based on Bill Willingham’s Fables comic book series.
