Not just full video game releases, but any demos, DLC, expansions and really anything else that’s worth noting.

This list was originally produced for a video game releases podcast segment on the Canadian Geekcast, which is a three-person geek-related podcast that dives into the realms of movies, TV, video games, tech and whatever else that tickles the hosts’ fancy.
