Ones to Watch: Xbox 360 Games for September 2010
By Joe Haygood on September 2, 2010 – 5:56 pm | View Comments

Here we are in September, a parent’s favorite time of year.  Yes, it is the time when the rugrats go back to school, a joyous time indeed!  However, September also signifies the beginning of the holiday gaming season, and this year is no different, as we have five new titles in September that all look worthy of your Xbox 360 gaming dollar.  We have sports, zombies, another RTS console attempt and a little tile that has to do with a circle in space.

For our case mod this month, we look at Halloween a bit early with the spooky skeleton case mod.  The case has been airbrushed with skeleton art across one side and the front.  The opposite side away from the camera has a see through window and of course a cold cathode light tube to illuminate the interior.  If you want to see more, head over to XboxFreedom.com to look at more screens of this case.

Look for our other Ones to Watch articles for the PS3/PSP, Wii/DS and PC on Aeropause.com.
