We at TheGameFanatics decided to try something new. That is what we are all about, trying new things. We understand that many games come out, and you may have problems picking out which games you want.

That is where we step in. At least try to. So on to what we plan on doing. Every week, we will state the major games that are coming out that week. We will then break each game down, and let you know if you should buy it or not.

A scale will be used known as the Fantinator. Yes, we know it isn’t a real word, who cares? We are all fanatics here. Here is the breakdown of the scale:

1-      Probably should stay away, and watch paint dry

2-      The demo could be downloaded, but not played

3-      The game sparked some interest, and you tried out 5 minutes of the demo

4-      The game is building some hype, and could be considered

5-      Ok, the game is really blooming, you went through the demo one time

6-      The game is really looking like it could be considered for renting, you played the demo more than once, and a rental is looking the way to go

7-      Renting the game isn’t just right, you want this game, but will use craigslist to find it

8-      A rental is definitely out of the question now, you murdered the demo, buying the game looks like the path

9-      On your next paycheck, $60 is going to be set aside to get this game

10-   Midnight release…

As you can see, we tried our best to make sure you get the full scope on the games that come out. We hope this free service helps with you and your wallet. Any feedback, please comment below.
