I haven’t forgotten about this column, I promise. Rather, there’s been absolutely nothing worth mentioning coming out at retail. Last week saw three PSP double packs, and the games in the packs were old PSP games. The biggest release this week appears to be a NatGeo PSMove title. And next week’s biggest title is a re-release of Gran Turismo 5. (If you need a reminder of our opinion of GT5, the cover of episode 49 ought to serve nicely.)
I wish I could find a reliable source for independent or digital-only game release dates. I’m sure that XBLA, PSN, or Steam have some interesting titles coming out, but nothing I’ve found says when. Of course, that kind of seems to be the nature of that market.
The point remains, though, that Two Days isn’t dead, it’s just waiting for the industry to start selling stuff again. Looks like that won’t be ’til the last weekend of January, though. See you then!
“I wish I could find a reliable source for independent of digital-only games”
I’m having a brain explosion and can’t work out what that means? Do you mean Indie games released purely over a digital media?
1) This shouldn’t have released yet. Whoops.
2) The “of” in that sentence should be an “or.” I’ve fixed the post to clarify.
I don’t know of any consistent, reliable source for discovering independent and digital games releases. If it’s not the Summer of Arcade, Microsoft doesn’t seem too interested in advertising new XBLA games prior to release, and that seems fairly true of Steam and PSN, as well.
I don’t know of any release date list but I get all my independent development/release news from DIYGamer, IndieGames and Desura.
