August Releases

August is a holiday for a certain group of sports gamers that await the yearly release of their Super Mario Brothers, Madden NFL Football. While I’m an NCAA kinda guy, Madden will always hold that special place in my heart as one of the first sports games I ever played on the PC. That was A LONG time ago.

There’s also Darksiders II, the sequel to the cult favorite (apparently) under appreciated adventure game. I may have to give that one a looksee one of these days.
