2013 video game release schedule (Photos)

This week I'm kicking off my 2013 preview spectacular. For today, Wednesday, and Friday I’ll tackle a new topic regarding the video game industry in 2013. Today’s feature will focus on what games you should keep your eye on. Devil May Cry came out last week with positive buzz and although Ni No Kuni doesn’t launch till tomorrow it too has a lot of good vibe about it.

So what of the rest of the year? While I haven’t written anything here, be sure to stay tuned around these release windows for reviews, videos, and more. My top five most anticipated games are Ni No Kuni, Fire Emblem Awakening, The Last of Us, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, and Bioshock Infinite so those will take top priority for sure. For now, each game is linked to a developer website for all the info you need. Let’s look forward to a great year for games!
