Everyone who feel that we already have an incredible gaming year isn’t ready for the next five months. Games like Starfield, Spider-Man 2, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder headline stacked lineups, but we have August gaming releases first. This month’s new games normally revolve entirely around Madden, but not this year. This year, we have some major releases joining Madden like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Armored Core VI.
