Take a peek at the video game release schedule over the next 6 months and you’re likely to go weak at the knees. We’re certainly in for a roller coaster ride of wonderful entertainment, with everything from intriguing new IPs, long-awaited sequels, and even the annualized franchises making bold changes to their upcoming titles.
