I mentioned this in last weekend’s VG Plays, but have you seen the release schedule recently? No seriously, I’m not winding you up. It is ridiculous.
From next Thursday, there is at least one major new game scheduled to release almost every week until Christmas. And we’re being thrown straight in at the deep end, too.
Not one, not two, but six huge games are due out next week, including Until Dawn, Disney Infinity 3.0, Devil’s Third, Madden NFL 16, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and Dishonored: Definitive Edition, with Mad Max and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain set to follow just days later.
