February Releases

February 4, 2019 by Tony Leave a Comment

Normally I’d complain that February releases have nothing to get excited about, but man, this February is loaded! While I’m still on an RE2 kick, there is more than one option this month that I’ve got on a wishlist somewhere. At the very top of that wishlist is that Crackdown 3 is good, because I am going to give that a long look, possibly ending with me picking it up. Fingers crossed! On to this month’s releases:

December Releases

December 5, 2017 by Tony Leave a Comment

I almost didn’t post this month’s releases, because honestly, there isn’t anything that sets my pants on fire. Ok, PUBG on the Xbox One is a maybe, but the fact that it’s “Game Preview Edition” edition makes me very wary. I’ve successfully avoided Battle Royale hype wave so far (but I did read the book!) so I’m in no hurry to hop on a preview version on a console.

On to this month’s releases:

Microsoft Xbox One

September Releases

September 2, 2014 by Tony Leave a Comment

We’re starting to roll into holiday season, which means we’re approaching Peak Video Games. September is still not flush with games like October and November usually are, but it’s shaping up to be solid. With that said, on to this month’s releases:

Xbox One

Week of September 2nd
WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Ultimate

Week of September 9th
Destiny – September might as well be Destinytember, it’s launching on all platforms and it’s going to be the most played game for a while. I am debating on the PC version or the 360 version, but I think I’ll be giving Destiny a try, for sure.
NHL 15

Week of September 23rd
FIFA 15

Week of September 30th
