It feels a bit like we’re in the eye of some pre-Christmas release storm. While it’s the first week of November, and you’d expect some sort of massive hurricane to sweep us up into a maelstrom of hyped up AAA titles, it’s actually a little quiet on the games front at the moment.
The big ‘uns are undisputedly the James Bond pair – Goldeneye 007 Classic Edition and Blood Stone – but asides from those two it’s slim pickings. Except for Ghost of Sparta, which will worth dusting off your PSP for.
