Sorry for the delay in posting the usual June E3 news but we (like so many others) were waiting on Sony to get with the program and give the fans at least some idea of what they can expect to get excited about over the next year or two. Well, a year later Covid-19 still wouldn't take a hint and kindly flock off so this year's E3 event still wasn't the typical show everyone is used to. It was back, though, online only and rebranded as the "Electronic Entertainment Experience", but we'll always take some kind of a show over no show at all.

Microsoft and Bethesda got things going with their first E3 press conference as one singular industry titan. Followed shortly after by Nintendo, who did their now-standard E3 Nintendo Direct presentation. Sony, however, decided it was too cool for school, skipped E3 altogether and waited till just this month to hold their own upcoming releases showcase. But now that we've heard from all 3 players, we can finally round up the highlights for you.

Hello again! Welcome back to our roundup of yet another month's worth of fantastic new releases. The big title this week is actually something we've been waiting for since at least 2019. Probably even longer! Psychonauts 2 is the hotly anticipated and long-overdue (it's been 16 years, and 3 Xbox/PlayStation generations, to be exact) follow-up to the 2005 original. Though the development process may have been protracted and seemingly uncertain at times, it all appears to have been a worthwhile endeavor in the end as the critics are receiving it particularly well so far. Our only complaint is that we wish there was a physical version to gawk at.

Also out in the last month, another long-awaited sequel, in this case, to the crazy over-the-top No More Heroes franchise; another welcome and super good-looking remake of the PC classic Myst; and a much-appreciated DRM-free version of what is arguably the single greatest entry to the Tomb Raider series. Get psyched, then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 28 days.

Well, it's been a pretty good month for the Switch. As you may notice below, all but two of this month's featured releases can be found on Nintendo's dual purpose dynamo. One of the bigger titles, which came out just this week, is Square Enix's Neo: The World Ends With You. A sequel to their popular 2008 DS orginal, Neo features more great music from the same composer, a new cast of characters, and superior gameplay and three-dimensional graphics.

Also out in the last month, what will supposedly be the final installment to Inti Creates' excellent Blaster Master Zero trilogy; the long-awaited Xbox (Series X) version of Microsoft's newest flight simulator game; and the fan-appreciated motion-control-optional HD remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. "Only the possibility of you can change our fate." Jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 35 days.

Here we are again with another great month of gaming releases to tell you about. The big title this week seems to be Scarlet Nexus, an anime-infused "brain punk" action RPG, somewhat similar to Bandai Namco's own Tales series (and brought to you by some of the very same people). If you like stylish, high-quality animation and a pretty unique and fun-looking combat system, this could be just the ticket.

Also out in the last month, a new installment to Nintendo's long-running Mario Golf franchise; an HD remake of the incredible 1986 Sega Master System classic, Alex Kidd in Miracle World; and the long-awaited release of one of the most anticipated games of the year, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. "We are all connected." Jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 28 days.

Another month, another Notable New Releases post. This week saw the re-release of a 2004 PlayStation 2 title, newly remastered for current platforms, of course. Shin Megami Tensei III is another enjoyable entry in the popular Atlus RPG universe. While the third entry in the main SMT series, the PS2 release was actually the first to see a western release. Of course, there have been several released since, both in the main and the spin-off series. But, having the option to experience this visually-upgraded classic, especially for those who may have missed out on it the first time around, is most welcome indeed.

Also out in the last month, the original Mass Effect trilogy, now remastered for newer consoles; the eighth numbered installment to the so-long-running-it's-scary Resident Evil series; and Returnal, a new Housemarque title that may quite possibly be the first must-play true exclusive for the PlayStation 5. The world has been swallowed by chaos. Jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 35 days.

Hello again, gamers! Considering the slow, sporadic release schedule often associated with this time of the year, we hope you'll forgive us for not having any new release posts to offer for the past couple months. We have a pretty solid dozen for you now though, starting with this week's most notable release, Nier: Replicant. Essentially a remake of the somewhat-unremarkable 2010 original, this new version of Nier features the welcome additions of improved graphics and gameplay, as well as new story content that provides a plot link to the very popular 2017 series entry, Nier: Automata.

Also out in the last two months, the fourth installment to Falcom's excellent Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series; a console release of the critically-acclaimed 2019 PC hit, Disco Elysium; and a brand new Switch-exclusive (for now) entry in Capcom's beloved Monster Hunter franchise. (Re-)experience a tale of love and despair, then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 56 days.

Greetings, gamers! It's been literally years since we posted our last helpful sale-related public service announcement. We figured we were way overdue for a new one. As if that weren't bad enough, it turns out that we've actually never before posted one for our favorite DRM-free game store, GOG! Shame on us!

Well, it's time to make amends. So, you can now consider yourselves fully informed about GOG's currently-ongoing Spring Sale. They are featuring some pretty insane deals on thousands of great gaming titles. Make sure to go check it out, before it's all over. Or, feel free to continue on, past the break, for a handy list of some of their best and most eye-popping offerings.

Welcome back to the New Gaming Releases. This week saw the release of at least a couple of titles that should be worth checking out. The most noteworthy of which is an all new Switch-exclusive remake of Capcom's infamously challenging 1980s arcade hit, Ghosts 'n Goblins. While we wouldn't necessarily have expected to see a game like this come out until a bit closer to Halloween, we aren't exactly going to complain about getting it earlier on in the year.

Also out in the last two and a half months, a very cool-looking action roguelike called Curse of the Dead Gods; the Switch rerelease of one of our favorite family games from the Wii U (now with additional bonus content); and the newest, and ninth installment to the long running Ys series, Monstrum Nox. Watch out for things that go bump in the knight, then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 77 days.

Well, our Best Games of 2020 list is done now so it's time to move ahead to 2021. There's a lot to look forward to over the next 11 months (provided the release dates hold). All in all, it's looking to be another solid year for gaming. Read on for a list of 12 selected highlights that you should be able to play before the year's end.
