We’ve got a big sequel, a big new IP, a couple big remakes/ports, and a big indie title. There’s something for everybody this week, I mean, unless you don’t like video games. Why would you even read this column if … Continue reading New Game Releases 09/21/21 – 09/27/21

Hey, that game Deathloop is finally coming out. It feels like we’ve been getting this game teased to us for ten years, but would you believe it’s only been two? The first trailer debuted at E3 2019, and then seemed … Continue reading New Game Releases 09/14/21 – 09/20/21

Alright folks, here it comes; the onslaught! You should expect to see big, major new releases every week until the end of the year. Sometimes multiple big games, like this week, as all of the top games are just about … Continue reading New Game Releases 09/07/21 – 09/13/21

Last week I mentioned in the comments that I was really excited to be past the slow days of Summer as we headed into an action packed Fall. Well, this week is pretty light when compared to last week, but … Continue reading New Game Releases 08/31/21 – 09/06/21

It’s a new release showdown this week between two long awaited sequels from two of gaming’s most notable auteurs; Tim Schafer & Double Fine’s Psychonauts 2 and Suda 51 & Grasshopper Manufacture’s No More Heroes III. Who will be the … Continue reading New Game Releases 08/24/21 – 08/30/21

What’s up, I started writing this at 5:30pm PT on Monday so I’m quickly running out of time, running out of time, running out of time…   Top Releases: Twelve Minutes (PC/Xbox One/Series X|S) – Releases Aug. 19th *ALERT* XBOX … Continue reading New Game Releases 08/17/21 – 08/23/21

This week’s slate of games is pretty large, however most of them are smaller, indie titles. The most high profile non-indie stuff is probably the new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla DLC, but these indie titles really want you to love them; … Continue reading New Game Releases 08/10/21 – 08/16/21

August isn’t really starting off all that strong when it comes to new releases so this could be a good time to catch up on your back log. For me, it seems the harder that I try, the further I … Continue reading New Game Releases 08/03/20 – 08/09/21

WOW!!! There’s, roughly, 25 brand new games coming out (not to mention the other 15 shovelware pieces of shit on the Switch eShop). If you can’t find something new to buy this week, well, you just aren’t looking hard enough. … Continue reading New Game Releases 07/27/21 – 08/02/21

Oh boy, here we go again, back to a huge blast of new games. Maybe you’ll see something that strikes your fancy, but this week just isn’t doing it for me. I mean, maybe I can force myself to get … Continue reading New Game Releases 07/20/21 – 07/26/21

It’s another slow week in gaming but, I mean, does anyone really want to compete with Zelda? Yeah, it might be one of the more maligned entries in the series, but there are few other franchises that can guarantee success … Continue reading New Game Releases 07/13/21 – 07/19/21

What’s going on everybody. I’m on vacation this week so you’re getting one of my patented cop out’s; songs that remind me of the game that is coming out. I’ll likely be driving somewhere in the Southern California desert while … Continue reading New Game Releases 07/06/21 – 07/12/21

It’s the traditional slow down period where game companies don’t want to try and compete with the big 4th of July holiday in America. However, looking back at what has come on 4th of July since I started writing this … Continue reading New Game Releases 06/29/21 – 07/05/21

After a light release slate last week, the upcoming list of new games is pretty stacked, with a diverse set of titles that should have something for everyone. Does that mean you need to buy them immediately? Yes, obviously. I … Continue reading New Game Releases 06/22/21 – 06/28/21

Woah, did you know a brand new console was coming out this week? Yeah, neither did I. This week is incredibly light which is pretty typical as the industry seems to carve out this time of year to focus on … Continue reading New Game Releases 06/15/21 – 06/21/21

We made it, the Summer months have arrived and it’s time to cut loose, gather in giant crowds, eat until our stomachs burst, but not TOO much because we still want to look good in our bathing suits. Then, once … Continue reading New Game Releases 06/08/21 – 06/14/21

Three years ago today the much beloved New Game Releases AKA Tuesday New Games column debuted right here on The Avocado. To celebrate, please enjoy this remastered version of that original column, back when I was a spry 37 year … Continue reading New Game Releases REMASTER 06/05/18 – 06/11/18

For the ninth time this year, the top game of the week is a port/remaster. On the one hand it’s great that we’re seeing older titles given new life and a chance to be preserved for future generations, but on … Continue reading New Game Releases 06/01/21 – 06/07/21

It’s another very packed week of new releases, but once again I don’t think any of these are major, AAA titles that you need to run out and buy on day one (unless you’re a die hard SMT fan). Still, … Continue reading New Game Releases 05/25/21 – 05/31/21

There are a ton of new games coming this week, but I’m not sure any of it is particularly noteworthy or “must play”. Still, indie titles typically outshine the AAA’s, so maybe something here is the next Braid or Celeste. … Continue reading New Game Releases 05/18/21 – 05/24/21

Things have been a bit crazy the last couple weeks in terms of big new releases so it is nice to have another small break from the madness. Still, that doesn’t mean we don’t have good stuff to play, as … Continue reading New Game Releases 05/11/21 – 05/17/21
