I finally remembered to publish new releases in a timely manner! There’s a lot coming out this week but not a lot for the PS5. Which I’m sad about since I finally won the Sony lottery and one should arrive this week. Funny, to get free shipping I had to order a controller and a game which shipped separately and are already here so not sure how that works out well for Sony (especially since I was going to buy a controller and game anway). Anywho looks like mostly stuff for other platforms this week from franchises I either haven’t heard of or are new.
