Well, time for the gaming world to “recover” from the “drought” of the summer, so it’s time for a lot more “interesting”/noteworthy releases than in the last few months.
This time there’s releases on every system which is good. 3 DS releases, 2 PC releases, 3 PS3 exclusives, 2 PSP releases, 1 Wii release, 2 360 exclusive releases and 10 multiplatform releases. Everyone should at least find one interesting game to play in here.
So yeah, read on to see what possibly interesting games are comming in september 2010!

The Disgaea series is probably my favorite RPG series, or at least one of my favorites. The characters, the stories, the humor and the gameplay are all top-notch. Here, you have a Disgaea game that removes any gameplay aspect from the other games, and instead becomes a visual novel, where you basically just read your way through, changing the events with dialogue choices.
This is a rather weird choice. While the visual novel genre is HUGE in Japan, it barely has a fanbase at all in America, and as such will only appeal to hardcore fans of the series, and nothing else, but I’m pleased, if not REALLY surprised, that they released it here anyways.
So let’s go and see if the huge change of gameplay is any good!

The first game in the series was awesome. I had tons of playtime and fun from this game which was original and deep. The game also had tons of replay value. When they announced that the sequel was getting localized, I was very happy.
The first game easily won a spot in our 2009 Games of the Year awards in the PSP category. The second seemed to keep the same gameplay, and added various gameplay elements, so there were high hopes for this.
Does it keep the same fun as the first game, or do the changes reduce the game’s overall quality? Read on and see!

I was planning on doing a full review of this game before playing it. But then I put the UMD in my PSP, and after seconds of playing I thought “Wait a second, didn’t I play this before?”. And after checking it up, I did… and heck, I even reviewed it over a year ago. That’s right, Metal Slug XX is actually just a PSP port of the 2008 release of Metal Slug 7 on DS. Yeah… I wasn’t expecting that (since I didn’t inform myself on this game other than knowing it was coming out).
So instead of doing a full review, since I already did that, I’ll just give my impressions on the ports quality.
Here goes! Just a note, this will be a really short review.

The year had a pretty good start, but things seem to be continuing pretty well for February.
As usual, I’m not listing all the games coming, just the interesting ones. And no, there’s no interesting Xbox 360 exclusives in February as far as I can tell.
Read on and see what February has in store!

Well, now that we’re done with our Games of the Year awards, it’s time to look into what great games are coming out next year.
Just a few notes here:
1. This is using knowledge we have as of the writing of this post (December 27th 2009). We obviously can’t see in the future, so we can’t predict delays, or unnanounced releases.
2. We will not update this list as the year goes by, unless there’s lots of demand for it.
3. This only includes “interesting” games, so no shovelware and such.
4. We also include games that might not come out in 2010, but that there might be a remote chance of them coming…
5. If we’re missing something don’t hesitate to tell us.
So let’s do this! Read on and see what interesting games are coming out in 2010!

Handheld gaming is a pretty important aspect of the gaming industry as a whole. The PSP might not be as popular as the DS, sure, but it’s a nice little system with quality games.
Combined with the release of the PSP Go and not that many new interesting releases, the PSP, as always, didn’t have an incredible year. But that’s not to say it didn’t get anything good at all.
The following games are all games that should at least be checked out for Sony’s handheld.
Read and see our 5 winners this year!
