Canadian Online Gamers Presents T.Monkey’s Quarterly List of Game Releases – Q1 2013

Let’s hope you’ve enjoyed the short holiday break to catch up on your ever growing backlog of unplayed games, because the first quarter of 2013 is here, and it’s packed to the brim with some of the most highly anticipated games of the year.  In fact, there’s so much coming out it in the next three months, it might be a little overwhelming – both for your time and your pocket book.  Fortunately, we’ve come up with a quick and dirty guide of every game being released in Q1 to help you stay ahead of the curve.

As is standard with most release dates, they are subject to change without notice – so don’t freak out if the facts get jumbled in the coming weeks.  There may be a couple games missing if the release date is uncertain or TBA, but we’ll try and update the list as soon as the details come in through the wire.  If you feel we’ve missed something that should be up on the list, or you know something we don’t, send an e-mail to devon@canadianonlinegamers.com and we’ll check it out.
