Weekly Round Up: 10/21/08

As we ease ourselves into the holiday season, it’s almost as though someone has finally opened up the new-release valve a teeny bit. This week sees the release of Fable II and Midnight Club: Los Angeles, as well as Wii Music. Don’t be completely fooled by the long list of new releases, though. As tasty as they might be, it looks like PlayStation 3 and PC owners are getting a heaping helping of reheated leftovers.
