Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Genre: First-person Shooter Developer: Treyarch Publisher: Activision Release Date: 11/18/12 You can almost set your watch by the new Call of Duty releases anymore; there’s a new entry in the franchise every year, going on six years strong (at least) now, and gamers certainly don’t seem to get tired…

Halo 4 Genre: First Person Shooter Developer: 343 Industries Publisher: Microsoft Release Date: 11/6/2012 This review is a couple weeks after the release of Halo 4, so most of you will probably be caught up in Wii U mania or have already made your decision whether or not you want Halo 4.

The Hip-Hop Dance Experience Genre: Rhythm Developer: iNiS Publisher: Ubisoft Release Date: 11/13/12 Ubisoft has gotten into the motion-based dancing subgenre pretty seriously through the Just Dance series, a dance franchise that aims to appeal to a wide variety of styles and genres, but they’ve also been experimenting with more genre and artist specific releases…

Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss Genre: Action RPG Developer: From Software Publisher: Bandai Namco Release Date: 10/23/12 One year later, almost to the day, console owners are receiving DLC for Dark Souls.

Serious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile Genre: First Person Shooter Developer: Croteam Publisher: Mastertronic Release Date: 10/17/12 It may seem disappointing to have DLC content available day of release, but Serious Sam 3 has something of an excuse for this.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Genre: Fighting Developer: Namco Bandai Publisher: Namco Bandai Release Date: 09/11/12 The original Tekken Tag Tournament came to the console market as a PS2 exclusive launch title, and was an interesting take on the Tekken series that, until now, was never expanded upon.

Realms of Ancient War Genre: Action RPG Developer: Wizarbox Publisher: Focus Home Interactive Release Date: 9/19/2012 When I first turned on Realms of Ancient War I was truly interested in the game.
