Last month, we were thankful that the torrent of games had slowed considerably. Now here in July, we ... well, could the games come back please? Sure we've got <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/Dragon-Quest-9-Sentinels-of-the-Starry-Skies"><em>Dragon Quest IX</em></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/starcraft-2"><em>StarCraft 2</em></a>, but pickings are, otherwise, fairly slim. <br />
<br />
Maybe PSN and the Summer of Arcade will fill in the gaps? Here's hoping. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">June has begun and that means summer is just three weeks away. The birds are chirping, the sun couldn't be brighter, and the neighborhood is positively caked with the smell of steaks on the grill and the sounds of children playing. <br />
<br />
We know, we're terrified too.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, you can take refuge in a full slate of games arriving this month, from <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/alpha-protocol">Alpha Protocol</a> </em>to <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/APB/"><em>APB</em></a>. We've collected the most notable in a gallery below, so close those curtains, crank the AC and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-june-2010/">start clicking</a>.<br />

There are some promising releases bookending May, like <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/lost-planet-2">Lost Planet 2</a> </em>and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/modnation-racers"><em>Modnation Racers</em></a>, but the show stopper has to be May 18, which will mark the arrival of a ton of heavy hitters like <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/alan-wake"><em>Alan Wake</em></a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/red-dead-redemption"><em>Red Dead Redemption</em></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/prince-of-persia-the-forgotten-sands"><em>Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands</em></a>. Oh, and let's not forget the return of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/super-mario-galaxy-2">Planet Earth's favorite plumber</a>.<br />

After an unprecedented rush of Q1 releases, April is actually looking a little more like itself in 2010. There are a couple of big titles, your <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/splinter-cell-conviction">Splinter Cell: Conviction</a>s </em>and your <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/super-street-fighter-iv"><em>Super Street Fighter IV</em></a>s, but it looks like, by and large, your wallets may get a slight reprieve until May. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-april-2010/">Enjoy it</a> while it lasts.<br />

This is the new way things are, and you've got to adjust or die. It's March, and you're getting games like <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/final-fantasy-xiii"><em>Final Fantasy XIII</em></a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/god-of-war-3"><em>God of War III</em></a> and <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/command-and-conquer-4">Command &amp; Conquer 4</a>. </em>Truly, it's a glut of electric pleasure, but it's also a little more financial strain then you're likely used to this time of year. <br />
<br />

It may be the shortest month in terms of days, but February is no slouch when it comes to new releases. We've got plenty of heavy hitters including <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/bioshock-2"><em>BioShock 2</em></a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/heavy-rain"><em>Heavy Rain</em></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/dantes-inferno"><em>Dante's Inferno</em></a>.<br />
<br />
You know, we heard it a lot when games kept getting delayed out of fall of 2009, but we think the reality is finally dawning on us just now: There will never again not be new games. We're not sure we can handle it, frankly.<br />

Traditionally, this is the time of year when we'd be able to put our feet up and savor the calm after the Q4 storm. But in 2010/Two-Thousand-and-Sin/ZOLO, we're stuck with a month of completely decent releases. We've always begged the industry to release games throughout the year, but never stopped to consider the terrible cost: More work for us.<br />
<br />
Check out the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/bayonetta-360-ps3-jan-5/2577482/">infuriatingly decent list</a> and plan your purchasing strategy.<br />

Take a deep breath. You feel that filling up your lungs? That's <em>freedom</em>. It's the freedom to not have to worry about the ever-growing onslaught of purchaseables for the first time in months. Yes, there are still a <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-december-2009/2503908/">handful of decent releases</a>, but it would seem that the worst/best is over.<br />
<br />
We don't know about you, but we're happy that we'll finally have time to play games rather than just buy them.<br />

Like, <em>literal</em> game-playing machines.)<br /> <br /> The big releases, like the aforementioned titles and <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/forza-3">Forza 3</a>, </em>are dropping every week, so how badly will your wallet be bruised?<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-october-2009/">New Games This Month: October 2009</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-october-2009/#2342348"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/10/ngm1009-01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Wii Fit Plus (Wii)" title="Wii Fit Plus (Wii)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-october-2009/#2342350"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/10/ngm1009-02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Afrika (PS3)" title="Afrika (PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-october-2009/#2342351"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/10/ngm1009-03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Demon's Souls (PS3)" title="Demon's Souls (PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-october-2009/#2342352"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/10/ngm1009-04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="NBA 2K10 (Multiplatform)" title="NBA 2K10 (Multiplatform)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-october-2009/#2342354"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/10/ngm1009-05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="NBA Live 10 (Multiplatform)" title="NBA Live 10 (Multiplatform)" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/06/new-games-this-month-october-2009/">New Games This Month: October 2009</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:00:00 EST.

It seemed like such a great promotion at the time: "Justin, be the reviews editor, it'll be great! We haven't done reviews before so the bar couldn't be lower!" And they were right, it couldn't have been an easier gig. For the months after I started in February, I would dash off the occasional review about the occasional interesting release, my time never too taxed to preclude my evening constitutional or spinning classes.<br /> <br /> But oh, folly! Oh hubris! How had I forgotten that for every spring and summer of idle relaxation, there's an autumnal retribution? Come, my friends, stare with me into the fanged, gaping maw of ... <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-september-2009/2248236/">September</a>.  <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-september-2009/">New Games This Month: September 2009</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-september-2009/#2248236"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/championsonline-1251814692_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Champions Online (PC)" title="Champions Online (PC)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-september-2009/#2248210"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/guitar5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Guitar Hero 5 (Multi)" title="Guitar Hero 5 (Multi)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-september-2009/#2248205"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/brokendestiny_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny (PSP)" title="Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny (PSP)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-september-2009/#2248222"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/section8_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Section 8 (360, PC)" title="Section 8 (360, PC)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-september-2009/#2248216"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/muramasa_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii)" title="Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii)" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/01/new-games-this-month-september-2009/">New Games This Month: September 2009</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:40:00 EST.

If the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/new-games-monthly">New Games This Month</a> feature were a car it would have already broken down on the side of the road, its tank depleted of the steady stream of exciting new releases it needs to function. Now, after months of this abuse, we're just sort of leaning against it as cars zoom by, our thumbs half extended, hoping -- but never really expecting -- for some kind motorist to pick us up and give us a ride to mid-September.<br /><br />But hey, at least there's <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/madden">Madden</a> </em>and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/batman-arkham-asylum"><em>Batman</em></a>!<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-august-2009/">New Games This Month: August 2009</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-august-2009/#2185453"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/08/daisyfu_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Daisy Fuentes Pilates (Wii)" title="Daisy Fuentes Pilates (Wii)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-august-2009/#2185452"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/08/singstar-queen-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="SingStar Queen (PS2, PS3)" title="SingStar Queen (PS2, PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-august-2009/#2185449"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/08/core-game-screenshot-ds_thumbnail.jpg" alt="C.O.R.E.

We're just gonna come right out and say it: July 2009 may be the worst month for new retail releases ever. Unless you like 2D fighters that is, because in <em>that</em> case, it's awesome.

Summer's just two weeks away, and traditionally it brings with it year's worst drought of good new releases. June 2009 is actually holding up pretty well though with a few big ticket items like <em>Red Faction: Guerrilla </em>and <em>Ghostbusters</em> and a slew of new <em>Overlord </em>games.<br /><br />Hit the gallery for the full list, and be sure to let us know which ones you'll be picking up.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-june-2009/">New Games This Month: June 2009</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-june-2009/#2067539"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/06/thesims3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Sims 3 (PC)" title="Sims 3 (PC)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-june-2009/#2067538"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/06/fuel051109005_thumbnail.jpg" alt="FUEL (360, PS3)" title="FUEL (360, PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-june-2009/#2067537"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/06/redfaction_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Red Faction: Guerrilla (360, PS3)" title="Red Faction: Guerrilla (360, PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-june-2009/#2067536"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/06/virtuatennis_thumbnail.png" alt="Virtua Tennis 2009 (360, PS3)" title="Virtua Tennis 2009 (360, PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-june-2009/#2067535"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/06/prototype_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Prototype (360, PS3, PC)" title="Prototype (360, PS3, PC)" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/08/new-games-this-month-june-2009/">New Games This Month: June 2009</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:01:00 EST.

If you head out to your local electronic game emporium tomorrow, try to savor the experience. Soak in the garish ads imploring you to trade in your DSi for a new DS that's coming out soon. Absorb the smells of the guy who's been wearing those navy sweatpants for so long they've become fused to his translucent, gelatinous waist. Because after a promising first week, April takes a sharp left turn towards "Who cares?"<br /><br />We could tell you more, but we assume you're anxious to start clicking.

Huh, well, this is a strange one. With very few (<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/resident-evil-5">very undead</a>) exceptions, this isn't a great month to be a gamer on the 360 or PS3. But if you're a Nintendo fan, you've got a <span style="font-style: italic;">lot</span> to look forward to. A new <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Pokemon/">Pokemon</a>, <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/MadWorld/">MadWorld</a> </span>and the return of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/ready-2-rumble-revolution"><span style="font-style: italic;">Ready 2 Rumble</span></a> are just a few of the treats you can anticipate in March.<br /><br />For your convenience, we've collected all the month's big releases in one big, easy to peruse gallery. ... So, what are you waiting for? Start <em>perusing</em> already!<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-march-2009/">New Games This Month: March 2009</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-march-2009/#1399550"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/03/matthazard_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Matt Hazard: Eat Lead (360, PS3)" title="Matt Hazard: Eat Lead (360, PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-march-2009/#1396144"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/03/phantasy_star_portable_2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Phantasy Star Portable (PSP)" title="Phantasy Star Portable (PSP)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-march-2009/#1396143"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/03/hawxscreen_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

After a few false alarms, we think it's safe to say that video game releases are finally, blessedly back in full force. Sure, February 2009 may not have the bombast of a November or December 2008, but there are some perfectly respectable releases here.<br /><br />Enjoy clicking through all the month's delights, and be sure to let us know in the comments which ones you're looking forward to the most.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-february-2009/">New Games This Month: February 2009</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-february-2009/#1329948"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/fear2ngm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="  F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (360, PS3, PC)" title="  F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (360, PS3, PC)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-february-2009/#1329945"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/retrongm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Retro Game Challenge (Nintendo DS)" title="Retro Game Challenge (Nintendo DS)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-february-2009/#1329942"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/sonicgenngm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection 360, PS3)" title="Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection 360, PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-february-2009/#1329940"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/x-bladesngm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="X-Blades (PC, PS3, 360)" title="X-Blades (PC, PS3, 360)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-february-2009/#1329938"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/houseofdeadngm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)" title="House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/02/new-games-this-month-february-2009/">New Games This Month: February 2009</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:58:00 EST.

Well, we're past the worst of the holiday blitz, and we've come out on the other side with only minor cuts and bruises. But though <em>Prince of Persia</em> may be the major release this month, there are still a few possible gems, including <em>Rise of the Argonauts </em>and <em>Persona 4</em>.<br /><br />Also, with increased wiggle room, we've been able to add a few titles just for our own enjoyment.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on our part, but November actually seems like it'll be a little bit easier on the pocket book than last month. Even if you count the biggies like <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Resistance-2/">Resistance 2</a> </em>and <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/EndWar/">EndWar</a></em> that already hit us this week, it's still less taxing than October. Don't get the wrong impression though, your rent is <em>still</em> going to go unpaid for the second month in a row.<br /><br />As always, we ask that you take a look through the list and let us know which of the releases you'll be picking up.<br /><br />[<strong>Update: </strong>We've made a few additions, thanks to everyone for pointing out the MIA titles.]<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-november-2008/">New Games This Month: November 2008</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-november-2008/#1140250"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/11/endwar_thumbnail.jpg" alt="EndWar (Multi)" title="EndWar (Multi)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-november-2008/#1140246"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/11/resist2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Resistance 2 (PS3)" title="Resistance 2 (PS3)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-november-2008/#1140265"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/11/quantum_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Quantum of Solace (Multi)" title="Quantum of Solace (Multi)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-november-2008/#1139735"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/11/gears-of-war-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Gears of War 2 (360)" title="Gears of War 2 (360)" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-november-2008/#1139733"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/11/banjo-kazooie2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts (360)" title="Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts (360)" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/05/new-games-this-month-november-2008/">New Games This Month: November 2008</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 05 Nov 2008 12:30:00 EST.

Wow. We know we talked about it in our <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/01/new-games-this-week-mercenaries-2-edition/">weekly new games post</a>, but the fall is in full swing. We're featuring 17 big releases this month, and we didn't even have room for all of the ones we wanted to talk about. Is the first time we're going to go broke in September?<br /><br />By the way, we're not complaining.<br />

We don't know any way to put this gingerly, so we're just going to come right out with it: July isn't going to be a great month for games. Sure, there are a few (read: very few) exceptions, but for the most part, we hope you didn't burn through all of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/04/new-games-this-month-for-june-2008/">June's surprise riches</a> already.<br /><br />But far be it from us to rain on your July, see the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-july-2008/896745/">cream of the crop</a> and decide for yourself. <br />

We're already offering you a <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/newgames">weekly update</a> on video game releases, but we recently came to the horrifying realization that it's just not enough. What if you needed to buy <em>Shootron: The Shooting Robot</em> but you had spent all your money the week prior on <em>Staboid: The Alien Who Stabs</em>? Horrifying!<br /><br />So, we decided to pull the lens back a bit and show you a list of, well, not all the new releases, but the ones we think you might be interested to hear about. And since you've already seen what's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/05/new-games-this-week-boom-blox-edition/">coming this week</a> we're gonna start with the releases due on or near May 13. Also, since this list is subject to change, we'll try to keep it updated throughout the month.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/new-games-this-month-may-2008/789292/">Read on, savvy shopper!
