Talk about not writing about what I said I would… mostly because I’m playing too much stuff at the same time. I’m still planning about writing about some of the things I mentioned before (and more upcoming stuff), but it may come later.
So what’s coming in May… just a couple things, not a whole lot of high-quality stuff. 1 and a half PC releases (Edit: Now 2 and a half), 2 3DS releases, 3 PS3 exclusives, 2 Vita games, somehow 2 360 releases and 7 multiplatform games, (Edit: and an NES game). Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may or may not be popular… Well, basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not.
So let’s see if there’s anything interesting.
*Post updated to include an extra PC game, and an extra NES game*
*Post updated again on May 14th to add a new 360 game, what?*

Well, March was another slow month for me in regards to writing, but I do have some posts upcoming. Reviews for Kid Icarus: Uprising, Tales of Graces f, Ys: Oath of Felghana, maybe Street Fighter X Tekken, maybe Fortune Summoners, maybe Wizorb and a couple other random things are in the pipeline somewhere (in addition to some things coming out in April)… in addition to that I have a new series of posts I mentioned a couple times so far (I already have a bunch of posts written for it, I’m just building a backlog of those in case I slow down in writing them), which I’ll probably start posting in April with no set schedule. I’m also thinking of another new post series, but that may just come later in the year.
Either way, this April is a slow month in regards to amount of releases, but there’s still some good quality stuff here, which is what matters in the end. Here we have 2 multiplatform games, 1 Wii game, 2 3DS games, 1 Vita game, somehow an Xbox 360 exclusive, and a free-to-play PC game! Kind of strange to see a month with a 360 exclusive and no PS3 exclusives.
So read on and see what’s coming!

I really hope to get back to reviewing games soon, it’s been quite a while since my last review. I’m going a bit early with this post because of… reasons… Okay, not really, I’m just bored so… yeah.
February marks the release of a new console! Yay! Otherwise there are: 5 3DS releases, 1 standard DS release, 1 Wii release, 4 PS3 releases and 6 Mutliplatform releases. No 360, PC or PSP exclusives on the list, surprising no one.
So read on and see what’s coming out!
Note: this doesn’t include shovelware or games that we all known will suck, but rather gamse I think are noteworthy for whatever reason, may it be because they’ll be popular, or that I’m personally interested in.

Well, I’m done with this year’s Games of the Year posts. Here’s a quick lowdown post with links to each post!
I haven’t made “Biggest Surprises” and “Biggest Disappointments” posts yet, not sure if I will… So here’s what we have right now! Again, no overall GotY post, but I don’t think it’s really needed, I think all the posts as a whole display a large variety of awesome games we got this year. Sadly we had to skip over a bunch of great games, otherwise we would have had 5-15 winners per category (other than Wii and 360), and I just decided to highlight my personal favorites. I’m sure other people/everyone else have different winners, and that’s obviously fine too.
So here it is:
2011 DS winners
2011 3DS winners
2011 Wii winners
2011 Xbox 360 winners
2011 PS3 winners
2011 Downloadable winners
2011 Multiplatform winners

I would just write “insert obvious choices here”, but I guess I’ll go with the standard “name game and explain why it’s there” concept… just because. Sadly the Wii got very few good games this year, so this isn’t just a “Best Wii Games of the Year” post, but rather a “here are the only good games that came out on the thing” post.
So… let’s go for the 2 obvious choices and the only other worthwhile game. (note: I was thinking of including Fortune Street here… but I won’t… not because it’s bad, but because it’s not too fun alone and it’s not terribly easy to rally 3 people to play with you when the Wii has many better multiplayer game choices)

Ah, getting to a calm month after the relatively heavy month of releases that was November. Only 5 releases in total!
So here we have: 1 Wii release, 2 3DS releases and 2 PC releases. Nothing multiplatform and nothing for PS3 and 360 (unless something good pops up on the downloadable side of things).
Let’s do this quickly! Read on!

Kirby’s been a bit left on the backburner for Nintendo in the last few years on consoles. Last year we DID get Kirby’s Epic Yarn, which was a random game with the Kirby franchise being plugged into it and, while it was a solid game, it failed to meet expectations in general and it most definitely didn’t have much of a Kirby feel to it. Otherwise, Kirby’s been confined to handhelds since 2000′s Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. So it’s been a long time waiting to finally get true Kirby action back on consoles.
I was quite hyped for this, so… does it hold up to the hype? It’s been fairly well spoken for by now, but I just want to give my own perspective on it since opinions have been all over the place.
Is it the return of Kirby that people have been wanting for so long? Read on and see!

November, as always is a big month filled with big releases, amongst the biggest releases of the year. Basically all the standard yearly GOTY fodder, though it’s understandable since a lot of it is quality games.
So here we have: over 9000 Wii releases, 13 multiplatform releases, 4 3DS releases, 2 PS3 releases and 2 Xbox 360 releases… OH and 1 PC release (almost forgot that, silly me). Don’t forget this only includes games that will probably be good, or popular games. No shovelware here (other than Call of Duty), and no/very few downloadable games (since release dates rarely pop up early for these).
Read on and tell us what you’re getting!

Well just because I’m bored, I’m writing this early, yay! October 2011… I was actually expecting more interesting releases, but I guess we may have to wait until November. In the meantime, there’s still a couple interesting games here.
Let’s see… for October 2011 we have: 9 multiplatform releases, 3 PS3 releases, 3 3DS releases, 2 Xbox 360 releases, 2 PC releases and the first truly great Wii release of the year (note: yes Mario Sports Mix was good, but definitely not GREAT)! Don’t forget this only includes interesting or potentially popular games, and it maybe be missing a couple hidden gems (and downloadable games, these rarely get release dates this fast). I try to not include shovelware in these lists.
So read on and see what you’ll be buying!
