So far, this month has been fairly calm when it comes to gaming for the most part, and it looks like it will continue to be that way until the Switch is launched. It's not too far off, so until next time, see ya.

Sony isn't showing much support for the Vita lately, I fully know what I'm talking about. Looks like they're slowly killing it by shifting all their focus into the Pro and VR, so we will hardly see any big games on the Vita in the future. I'm both interested and apathetic towards Project CARS 2. On one side, it's a very good game with tons of tracks I love, but on the other it looks like it's including off-road and drifting as well, which is something I don't like. I'm an asphalt cowboy and going fast is my thing. And well, I hate to say this, but you've made the same mistake like in your last article. Ride 2 is going to be released for PS4 during this period as well, yet you missed it. I ignore if more games are missing because I'm short on time now, but please double check your lists next time.

EX Palen : I'll be sure to, thanks. I just wonder why you only pay attention to the negatives of my posts and don't bother giving any attention to the positives. I'll be sure to, thanks.

Lexatom : One thing I've learned is that positives not always need to be pointed out. One surely has to correct what is being done wrong, but everything else can be kept as it is. It's your style, after all, if you want to do something in a certain way no one should stop you, unless it's obviously wrong. Like I said, I was short on time back then, so all I could see was the Sony section to give my two cents because I'm quite up to date with them. When I saw your comment about the lack of physical releases then I wanted to see if you made the same mistake, which you did. I've noticed how you've improved this one over the last one you made. Including the teasers is a nice addition because it spices discussions up for what's to come and can increase the hype, and you also corrected most of the mistakes me and the others pointed out last time. One thing that grinds my gears: may I ask why the title comprises since last Sunday to next Saturday? Most releases happen on Thursday and almost never on a weekend, so I don't see how those days could be the start and end of this gap.

EX Palen : Thanks for the constructive criticism. Sorry if I seemed a bit on edge with my first reply. I didn't get much Anyway, as for your question. I originally intended for this to be a weekly thing, but then I realized I wouldn't have that much time to do this every week. So I instead decided for this to be every other week, but since I missed my last deadline I had to figure out what dictates the start and end of two weeks. What I might end up doing is having this be a monthly thing just to make this easier on me and anyone else who reads this, but I'm not sure yet. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

Lexatom : The current format wouldn't work monthly if you plan on posting it early in the month. We know the next week's releases, but beyond that we only know the release date of big titles so you would have plenty of content for the first week and not much for the remaining ones, which wouldn't seem fair. Doing it in the last two weeks of the month could work, so as to serve as a wrap up of what has happened during that month and anticipating the last one, when possible. Maybe you could even link the VGR page of the released games if we have added them so people can quickly get all the information they're looking for as well as screenshots. This way you could also work around postponed games, giving further ground to discussion.

The Golf Club 2? What? I own and love the first one, but I thought I was being silly in hoping at all for a second one. That couldn't have caught me more off guard. lol The first one is as solid of a golf game as there has ever been, but it's extreme focus on realism makes it far less accessible than most golf games out there. it's very punishing, but still so good.
Sniper Elite 4 is looking amazing, and it helps that I loved my time with Sniper Elite III (also glad to see them dropping the Roman numerals. Ugh). I've been wanting this one ever since I finished the third one, and that was before the fourth had been announced. xD It'll be a long while before I can get it, but I still look forward to it, and fully intend to grab a copy. Hopefully there's a physical release as with the past three. Flywrench is just...no. I saw this one in an article recently and was just left in a profound state of "meh" and "seriously?" Uncanny Valley has my eye simply because it's a horror game that somehow stays under a T rating. How the juice is that even possible? Finally, For Honor has had my attention since it's reveal. I figure though if anyone can spoof it up or make it inaccessible to me, it's Ubisoft, so I don't expect to ever get to play it. Seriously, they must have a group of advisors who are paid to find ways to make their potentially great games either bad or inaccessible. "Wait! It's too good. Here, add this content and/or this mixed bag of bugs. Ah, perfect!"
