The hapless townsfolk have all hidden inside their homes, and the scared shopkeepers all flips their signs from open to close as the three gunmen approaches each other in front of the clock tower at high noon. That’s right. November is upon us once again. This week, we’re getting Call of Duty’s 2011 edition of Call of Duty. We’re also getting the sequel to Oblivion, and Nintendo releases a fairly unorthodox take on their mascot. In other words, we’re getting nothing but sequels this week. Unless you’re willing to look beyond the triple-A releases.
Coming Soon! 10/31/2011
Happy Halloween everybody! And what better way to celebrate Halloween than with a romp through the desert? Better yet, how about a blast from the past? Hell, make it two if you want to count one with an HD facelift. It might just make you forget the fact that you just contracted diabetes after Monday’s candy fest.
Coming Soon! 10/24/2011 – ish
Sorry about this week folks. Even the most hardy Coming Soon! authors can succumb to sickness. This week’s release list will be a little bit… sparse.
Coming Soon! 10/17/2011 – ish
How does one compete with the ultimate superhero video game ever? Well, the general consensus looks to be to drown the damn thing with so many titles coming from almost every genre under the sun, it’ll make your head spin. Thankfully, I have a neck brace handy.

Madden’s day in the spotlight went by over a month ago. Now soccer takes their turn to be in the spotlight with not one major franchise’s annual release but two. Not that all that many people around here even pay attention to such releases, but still, give the poor scrappy sport a break. I hear it’s big over in, like, everywhere but here.
Coming Soon! 8/29/2011
Last week’s release of Deus Ex, in addition to being one hell of a way to start the pre-holiday video game season, jump started the video game releases as the numbers slowly climbs up above… well, three per week. Oddly enough, The DS releases take charge this week with five games coming out of the gate. If this is Nintendo’s idea of counterprogramming against Deus Ex, somebody in Nintendo’s needs to be fired.
Further Details About Dante’s Inferno
How close was I in predicting speculating how EA’s Dante’s Inferno would play out as a video game? I’d say I had the gist, but botched the details. As they say…the devil is in the details. You knew that was coming.
