With Madden NFL 16 joining the pantheon of new releases, it heralds in a season of fresh games every week all the way through Christmas. RPG fans really only have one title to look forward to this week: Grandia II Anniversary Edition, finally making the series’ triumphant return with an updated edition over 13 years since its original release on PC. Grandia isn’t the only title getting a shiny new coat of paint this week, as Gears of War, Dishonored, and the first six Mega Man games all get special remasters this Tuesday. Those looking for a good visual novel on the Vita should be in for a treat with two titles releasing this week, including the highly regarded Steins;Gate.
