Up in my little plot of land in the frozen north we have been in a deep freeze for the past few weeks. I have been waking up to temperatures averaging out to -25°c (-13°F) and this past week we have received close to 60cm (2’) of snow. Usually February is cold as hell (check) but bone dry so this snow is a bit of a surprise. I actually do not have any room on either side of my driveway for this snow. The piles are as tall as Mrs. Soup and when I add to them i create little mini avalanches. I imagine tiny little skiers and snowboarders crying out in fear as the snow tumbles back onto the driveway. It’s a horrible thought but I picture them in SkiFree with the yeti chasing them too and that just makes me laugh. I miss that game. You know what? I need to go look for it right after this so let's get to it!
Dynasty Warriors 9
Release Date: February 13th, 2018

So good news! Us westerners only have to wait 5 days after the Japanese release of Dynasty Warriors 9 hack and slash goodness! Typically it’s months or even years after before we get to play regionalized versions so it’s nice to see that there is less than a week between releases.

Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame
Release Date: February 13th, 2018
Platforms: Switch, PC, PS4, Xbox One
If you like OD’ing on Caffeine while dirt bike riding I think this game might be up your alley. I used to love my dirt bike but I could not even come close to doing what these guys do iin real life. I have tried playing similar games to try and live by proxy but I am even worse at motorcycle games than I am at driving ones. I’ll wait for this one to hit free status before I even consider picking it up. I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look fun though.....
Fe
Release Date: February 16th, 2018
Platforms: Switch, PC, PS4, Xbox One
Yes I know this is an Evil Arcade (EA) published game BUT it is an indie that EA helped fund through their EA Originals development program. In fact, Fe is the first game for that platform so lets hope it does well. From what I have seen Fe looks to be a gorgeous and atmospheric action role playing playing adventure. You control a Fe, a fox like creature, as you try to help your woodland friends defend their home against the Silent Ones. You basically jump in and play. No instructions. So if you like to experiment I strongly suggest you give Fe a try
Bayonetta 1 & 2
Release Date: February 16th, 2018
Platforms: Switch
Not too many game characters can claim to wear their hair as clothes or have pistols in their platforms shoes let alone do it as well as Bayonetta does!if you enjoyed the first game back in 2009 and were looking for a sequel Nintendo has a deal for you. Buy a Switch and you can buy Bayonetta 2 as well! You’ll only find it on the big N’s platform but the good news is you get a full download of the first game as well. New costumes, new hairstyle and now a 2 player mode await you and that $70-80 burning a hole in your pocket.
