New Releases this week | Sept 9th – Sept 15th 2013
As the Rockstar behemoth that is GTAV casts its massive shadow over the horizon, new releases cower in fear and stay indoors waiting for the dust to settle before venturing outside. Or at least that's the impression I get from this week's meager list of upcoming titles.

Castle of Illusion PC is a Terrible Port, Community Fixes (Almost) Everything

New Releases this week | Sept 2nd – Sept 8th 2013

New Grand Theft Auto V Trailer Coming Thursday

Aside from calling it the "official" trailer, little else is said about it This will be the eighth trailer to be released for Grand Theft Auto V, and will likely be one of the last before the game is launched. Expect this to be a mash-up of everything we've seen so far, a nice mix of single player gameplay, story and online features. It seems unlikely that it'll be as shocking as the others, but perhaps there'll be a few surprises to keep fans hungry ahead of the game's September release date.

New Releases this week | Aug 26th – Sep 1st 2013
