Monthly Gaming Recap: October 2016

Every month is filled with delays, but October was a little ridiculous. I guess it makes sense seeing as it was the start of the last quarter and thus the last chance to release, or delay a game. Sad, but obvious, but hey, lots of great stuff happened too so let’s round that stuff up and spread some positive vibes.

Monthly Gaming Recap: September 2016

Phew, September certainly was the month for delays. My most anticipated of the year, Final Fantasy XV, for example, didn’t come out and another long developed gem, The Last Guardian, slipped from its original date as well. Plus so many others. I guess September is the best time to announce these things for the big rush of Fall games, but it wasn’t entirely bad. Let’s review everything video game related last month from the news to all my terrific content. Enjoy!
