April Releases

I missed the last couple of months of new releases due to illness and laziness (the same thing?) but I’m back at it with another month of video game releases, with a couple of doozies.

Week of April 1st
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year – Maybe it’s time to finally pick this one up.

Week of April 21st
NBA Ballers: Chosen One – The whole “NBA Ballers this year, NBA Street next year” thing never made sense to me. I’ll be skipping NBA Ballers, as I really liked the last version of Street (whatever it was called).

Week of April 28th
Grand Theft Auto IV – I wasn’t a huge fan of GTA:San Andreas, but I’m very interested in the next-gen iteration of Grand Theft Auto. I think I’ll pick this one up for sure.

Week of April 1st
WWII Aces

Week of April 7th
MiniCopter: Adventure Flight
Baroque – Baroque? Is this a sequel to Eternal Sonata or something? It’s an Atlus game, which always intrigues me.

Week of April 14th
Dream Pinball 3D
Okami – Another intriguing game. I know Okami for the PS2 was well received, so this will be at least a rental for me.
Emergency Mayhem

Week of April 21st
Mario Kart Wii – Another must-buy in the Buttonmashing household. It’s Nintendo and I am powerless to resist.
Target Terror

Battle of the Bands

Week of April 28th
Grand Theft Auto IV

Week of April 7th

So that’s a pretty decent month, all things considered. You’ll want to stock up, too because, we’ll be heading for a pretty bleak summer. Which will be a perfect opportunity for everyone to get out of the house and soak up some rays!

I think I’ll pick up Mario Kart (because I’m a Nintendo whore and I can’t help myself) and Grand Theft Auto IV. Pretty interesting contrast there, wouldn’t you agree? Blue shells or baseball bats, what’s your weapon of choice?

Are you planning on picking anything up this month?
