Last month, we spoke of the phenomenon known only as The Summer Lull. During the Lull, less and less games are released causing gamers to sift through their backlog until September starts. However, things are different this August, as there some pretty big titles releasing on just about every platform.
The Vita gets a newfound rejuvenation as August plays host to titles like Sound Shapes and Ragnarok Odyssey. THQ and Vigil release Darksiders 2 midway through the month, while PC gamers have Guild Wars 2 to look forward to just before September starts.
