It’s a bittersweet time of year. End of summer (boo), kids will be back in school soon (yay), more new games coming out (yay), mostly re-released “Editions” so far (boo), NFL is starting soon (yay), Costco has Christmas items out already (boo), BlueJays are doing well and will probably make the playoffs (yay), Mariners won’t (boo).
There are actually a bunch of games coming out this week but I am only going to highlight what I think are the major releases. The list of the others will be at the bottom. Sound goood? Alright then lets get to it!
Madden NFL 16
Release Date: August 25th, 2015
Platforms: PS3, PS4, Xbox 360,Xbox One
American football. Love it or hate it, Madden NFL games are big business. I played a little of it at E3 this year. After about 15 minutes I realized that maybe, being Canadian, I should stick with hockey. Actually I suck at those games too.
Dishonored: Definitive Edition
Release Date: August 25th, 2015
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One
If you didn’t die enough the first time through Dishonored, you need something to fill the gap before Dishonored 2 AND you own either a PS4 or an Xbox One then I have some good news! You can buy the first game all over again with the DLC you likely already bought but now with shiny new graphics. Good news is you get a nice discount (50%) if you already owned it.
Gears of War : Ultimate Edition
Release Date: August 25th, 2015
Platform: Xbox One
You get to meet Marcus Fenix and crew all over again in shinier new shades of brown on your Xbox One. I loved this game on my 360 and if the legends are true, Epic help shaped the 360 with this game by showing Microsoft what another 256mb of ram could do! New achievements, 90ish minutes of new gameplay but it’s a game I already bought and played.
Here is the list I promised of other games coming out this week:
August 25th
I am Bread (PS4)
Mega Man Legacy Collection (PC, PS4, Xbox One)
Until Dawn (PS4)
Nova-111 (PC, PS3, PS4, PS Vita)
August 28th
Nova-111 (Xbox One)
August 30th
Disney Infinity 3.0 (PC, PS3, PS4, WiiU, Xbox 360, Xbox One, iOS, Android)
