When did the video game industry decided to use February as a sort of video gaming floodgate? January had zero releases. But come February and everything comes out faster than you can say “But I’m not done with Skyrim.” You better be! Because this week, another reportedly 100 hour RPG hits store shelves. If that’s too much, maybe a sequel ought to a four-year-old shooter with demonic tentacles ought to do it. No? Fine, go play the Resident Evil 6 stop gap then.
Electronic Arts announced today that Bioware’s first MMO has reached 1.7 million subscribers. The publisher also stated that game continues to grow.
Excel is fun! No, I’m serious. It really is as long as you fill it with something you care about like your favorite team’s stats, how often black comes up, or, I don’t know, stamp statistics. Fill it with video game stats, and you can get a picture of the video game industry as a whole. I did it the past two years already thanks to my insane hobby of writing about game releases weekly, and this time my methods have become far more sophisticated. By that I mean I used Excel instead of an abacus.

Oh my God! An actual, honest to God new release! I was starting to think those were a myth, whispered in dark alleys by rumormongers. Better yet, we’re getting three of them this week folks. That’s an infinity percent increase from the past four weeks. Why am I still talking? Let’s get straight to them.
It’s a Nintendo heavy news week, but while we won’t apologize for that Curt Schilling will. NextBox rumors continue to make their way onto the internet and we say good bye to the departed from the rumored to the never was. This week it only seemed right that we’d discuss digital distribution. So sit back and relax, may be have yourself a hot pocket. It’s TLP 53, please don’t lose your mp3 player listening to us in a public restroom.
Another dry week coming up folks. Look on the bright side. More time for you to “finish” Skyrim am I right? If by some miracle you already finished it, maybe you should take a look at the game I’ve got lined up in today’s 20/20, or you can hold out until next week when the proverbial video gaming flood dams break once again. Your choice.
It’s about 1:30 in the morning. Bleary-eyed, I traverse through the rocky, unforgiving terrain with my trusted bodyguard. We’ve seen the horrors of battle together…raiding bandit encampments, taking down giant spiders and brutish frost trolls, and eliminating unspeakable terrors in the deep dungeons of the world.
The dry spell continues this week with nary a thing coming to video game store shelves. It’s time we look at yet another oldie (By video game standards anyways) but goody.
How’s everybody’s January? Anything new? Job? Car? Girl/boyfriend? Waistline? No? Looks like the game industry’s taking their cues from all of you because yet again, nothing comes out this week. Thankfully, you’ll still have something to read from my little article this week. I have rechristened last week’s new segment, which I’ll only abbreviate given its inane-ness, THCSAFWR! into 20/20. What do you think?
