Unrelenting releases!

There's no balance in video game releases. You either get bombarded with quality releases all at once or you get nothing. "When will the madness stop?" you ask. Not this week, that's for sure.

Continuing on with high profile, unrelenting releases, gamers finally get the conclusion to Ezio's storyline and the renaissance period in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

The sandbox genre has been a little stale lately and most of us are waiting anxiously for GTA V, but, to keep you busy until then, Volition releases the third instalment in their Saints Row series, Saints Row: The Third.

Feeling overwhelmed yet? Unfortunately, the pursuit doesn't stop there. Also being released this week is the original Halo revamped, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.

Those are only a few of the jam packed week that's pursuing us. Check the list out below for more great (and potentially awful) games.

I had no idea Jurassic Park was finally coming out this week. A title that big, you would have expected advertising and promos, pre-order offers and everything. I haven't heard a peep about the release date until today!

Saints Row is all that matters.

But Hole in the Wall deluxe edition takes a close second. What does the "deluxe edition" come with? I don't know, and I don't wanna know.

I really, really wanted to buy Rayman but it was that or Skyrim and I'm a TES lackey, so I had no choice. Will be buying Rayman as soon as I have the cash available. The demo hooked me good.

Revelations!! ...I hate I have to wait to pick this one up. Gotta see how the multiplayer's been improved. And, by of all course, the finale to Ezio's awesome story.

WOAH WOAH WOAH..."The sandbox genre has been a little stale lately and most of us are waiting anxiously for GTA V, but, to keep you busy until then, Volition releases the third instalment in their Saints Row series, Saints Row: The Third." this statement is CLEARLY unacceptable.
