10 Video Games To Watch Out For This Month

Due to digital distribution, there are more video games releasing now than ever before. In fact, it can be difficult to keep up with all of the new releases even if you read about video games on a daily basis. Thankfully, in order to help readers informed about what games are coming out and to highlight games that look like they're going to be special, I've put together a list of August's most promising video game releases.

UNO – August 9

Recommended Videos

Video Games New Releases August 2016

Few games are as fun to play with friends (or complete strangers) as UNO. Just when the wildly popular #UNOweNEEDit fan campaign was underway on Twitter, Ubisoft announced that they were bringing the beloved card game to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Only time will tell if it can live up to the stellar downloadable game that Carbonated Games put out in 2006, but I’m certainly excited to “draw four” later this month.

Grow Up! – August 16

Ubisoft is known for their huge AAA-releases that feel largely lifeless and formulaic. That’s why 2014’s Grow Home was such a breath of fresh air from the French publisher. This quirky 3D platformer featured a clumsy robot named BUD as he climbed his way up mountains, rode giant plants into the sky, and explored an open world at his own pace. It was relaxing, fun and totally out of left field. Now BUD is back in Grow Up!, and we can’t wait to see what new shenanigans he’s gotten up to.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force – August 19

Metroid Prime Federation Force

Metroid Prime: Federation Force wasn’t the Metroid game fans wanted or expected, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be bad. In fact, developer Next Level Games have created some of the best games for the Wii and 3DS, so I fully expect this one to be a lot of fun.

The 3DS exclusive will feature four player co-operative play and will put fans in the shoes of a Galactic Federation Marine – sounds like a good time, right?
