The Monthly Game Guide: April 2012 Video Game Releases

Apr 20, 2012 by  

Monthly Game Guide April

April’s been a strange month for video games. While we’ve seen a big release here and there, overall it’s relatively quiet. This is good news for gamers, who are possibly still knee deep in their back log, but not for publishers. Vita sales have begun to slow, which can be attributed to the lack of new titles. The Wii and 3DS are also suffering from a software drought, though the former did see a big game launch at the beginning of the month.

So what releases this month? Kinect: Star Wars and the much anticipated Xenoblade Chronicles launched in the first week of April, though we’d suggest avoiding the former and playing the latter. FEZ and Trials Evolution also makee their debut on Xbox Live Arcade, and Binary Domain gets a second chance on the PC after a less than stellar performance on the consoles.

Keep reading for a full list of this month’s releases!

    Why do the Monthly Game Guides come out this late? They should come out at the end of each month for the upcoming month. So the Monthly Game Guide for May should be posted in about a week.
