This has been a great year for games, and it’s not over yet. Since this is my last column of the year (sad face), I thought I should let you all know about the most important games coming out over the next few months. To be perfectly honest, I haven’t had much time to play games lately, and now I’m going to have even more games to add to my backlog. Anyone who says there’s nothing to play is kidding themselves.
I can’t possibly list all of the games coming out before the year’s end, but I have compiled a list of the ones I feel need to be on everyone’s radar.

Since free time has been hard to come by lately, I will probably only get to play a few of these before the end of the year. I am getting Mafia III on day one, and I can’t wait for Dead Rising 4! I, unfortunately, won’t be getting a PlayStation VR anytime soon, but I can’t wait to hear about others’ experiences with it.
