Retail Releases: Week of August 20th, 2012

These Autobots will be auto-bought

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 20 August 12 at 17:48

How fitting it is for Transformers to release this week. The gaming industry normally starts to transform itself from deserted wasteland of few releases to an oasis of interesting games right around the end of August. This one kicks off a consistent schedule of big-time releases from now until the end of the year.

North America -- August 21st
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

[via Gamestop]

Australia -- August 24th
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition

[via MightyApe]

Europe -- August 24th
Darksiders II (Releasing August 21st)
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

[via MCV]

Meh, nothing for me. Still waiting to rebuild my gaming fund a little next week so I can finally go pick up my Darksiders 2 CE from Gamestop.
N0T PENNYS B0AT - It isn't cool to sound like a grumpy old man regarding the Xbox One. Take time to form a real opinion.

Strangely, I had heard the 21st most everywhere, but I also read the 28th somewhere ... Anyhow, excited. I'll be looking for reviews and considering the purchase.

Speaking as a retailer, it was originally the 28th and got bumped up to the 21st a few weeks back. Might have been to keep it away from the stronger looking sales of Madden 13 and Guild Wars 2 on the 28th? Copies are in stores for tomorrow so it looks pretty concrete
