We’re in post E3 territory, which is kind of like the gaming industry’s post all-star game time of year. It’s at this point we start to see most companies begin their long term game plans for the rest of the … Continue reading New Game Releases 06/18/19 – 06/24/19

Happy E3 week everyone! The festivities started back on Friday with the Google Stadia presentation, followed by presentations from EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, Devolver, Square Enix, PC Gamer Magazine, and Nintendo. However, while we are all salivating over the games coming … Continue reading New Game Releases 06/11/19 – 06/17/19

With the behemoth that is E3 looming over all of video gaming, we have ourselves another quiet week for new releases. Well, as quiet as the release of the (most likely) last 3DS game can be. We’ve also got some … Continue reading New Game Releases 06/04/19 – 06/10/19

Hello, dear readers of The Avocado. I’m afraid this week’s column will be light on commentary and possibly full of typos and spelling errors. I spent this past weekend out of town at the 21st annual Punk Rock Bowling festival, … Continue reading New Game Releases 05/28/19 – 06/03/19

It’s springtime, for gamers, and…er…Germany (I couldn’t come up with a rhyme). Yes folks, spring is just about to end, and the start of summer is only a few days away. Thank goodness then that we’ve got a party game … Continue reading New Game Releases 05/21/19 – 05/27/19

It’s been three weeks since we’ve had a big, AAA release, but as has been the case for almost the entire year, there’s really only one big game worth putting any time into, as every other release is so low … Continue reading New Game Releases 05/14/19 – 05/20/19

Sometimes I wonder if I deserve all of the things I’ve been blessed with. A loving spouse, a healthy child, a great job with a decent salary, a full head of hair, a handsome(ish) face, great friends both in the … Continue reading New Game Releases 05/07/19 – 05/13/19

There isn’t a whole lot that’s coming out this week that warrants much of your attention, heck, the biggest new release is a Switch exclusive DLC featuring Star Fox characters for a mildly successful game that came out last year. … Continue reading New Game Releases 04/30/19 – 05/06/19

I had a lot of trouble picking the top game this week between MK11 and Days Gone. I ultimately settled on Mortal Kombat 11 because of its history and multi-platform release, but Days Gone, a game that initially held zero … Continue reading New Game Releases 04/23/19 – 04/29/19

The spring time doldrums continue with a slate of games that, while probably pretty interesting, don’t quite inspire much in the way of hype. We are also continuing to see the deep pockets of the Epic Games Store and its … Continue reading New Game Releases 04/16/19 – 04/22/19

There aren’t a ton of really great games coming out, but there are a couple of really interesting ones, so keep an open mind and you might find something that you’ll pick up in two years when it drops to … Continue reading New Game Releases 04/09/19 – 04/15/19

Finally, we have a bit of a breather. I feel like I’ve been playing brand new video games, non-stop, since the beginning of January and I could use a break. Wait a minute…oh shit, is that a Dragon Ball CCG? … Continue reading New Game Releases 04/02/19 – 04/08/19

My neck looks particularly fat this week, I should probably go to the gym and stop playing so many games, but dangit, there are so many good ones coming out! Yoshi’s Crafted World (Switch) – Releases Mar. 29th The adorable … Continue reading New Game Releases 03/26/19 – 04/01/19

Now this is my kind of week; three cool Japanese games, an indie title with unique graphics, and expansions to games I really like. Please don’t tell my girlfriend how much money I spend on video games. Sekiro: Shadows Die … Continue reading New Game Releases 03/19/19 – 03/25/19

There are a few games coming out this week; none of them are Lemmings. The Division 2 (PC/PS4/Xbox One) – Releases Mar. 15th (Gold Edition releases Mar. 12th) After the release of Anthem are you even ready for another games-as-a-service … Continue reading New Game Releases 03/12/19 – 03/18/19

After one of the largest game dumps in recent memory last week (21 if I remember correctly, I could look, but eh…), we’ve come to a much more manageable ten. I can’t say I’m terribly excited about anything coming out … Continue reading New Game Releases 03/05/19 – 03/11/19

There is an exhausting amount of games coming out this week, but nothing is really BIG, ya know? I guess the video game companies are just giving us a breather as the entire gaming community is playing Anthem, right? Right? … Continue reading New Game Releases 02/26/19 – 03/04/19

This week is a bit light compared to last week’s plethora of titles. I think most companies have ceded the week to EA and Anthem, but will that be a wise choice? All signs seem to point to a possible … Continue reading New Game Releases 02/19/19 – 02/25/19

Well we’ve certainly hit a gold vein this week, as there is a veritable smorgasbord of big, diverse titles coming out. I think almost every genre is represented this week, third person action, first person shooter, fighting, RPG, simulation, sports, … Continue reading New Game Releases 02/12/19 – 02/18/19

After two big weeks in a row, the first full week of February is a bit subdued. There are certainly some interesting titles coming out this week, but I’m not sure any of them particularly warrant a day one purchase … Continue reading New Game Releases 02/05/19 – 02/11/19

This is a big week for JRPG fans, PC gamers and 3D platforming aficionados. You’re not one of those three types of players? Dang, I’m sorry to hear that. Umm, Madden should be out in August… Kingdom Hearts III (PS4/Xbox One) … Continue reading New Game Releases 01/29/19 – 02/04/19
