It's a slow week in video games. 

Sure there's Black Friday and Cyber Monday for deals on titles and consoles, but the actual release titles are slim. After the last two weeks of Xbox One and PlayStation 4 everything all the time, the week leading up to Thanksgiving is pretty tame. There are two different anime titles for the otaku in the room and another round of Borderlands DLC that's got gravy leaking from its ammo belt.

Slow week it may be, but here are five games dropping that are still worth your money all the same.

Platform: PlayStation 4 


Escape Plan looks like equal parts early Tim Burton animation and experimental theater. 


The title originally came out for the Vita and was a ton of fun. The art and gameplay was distinct enough for it to get ported to the PlayStation 4 but it's still not known how Sony is going to translate the title minus the Vita functions, but the title still looks like it's worth a go on the PS4.

Professsional Farmer 2014 is a PC only release for professional farmers only. Your amateur handling of the E750 grain combine is bullshit and you better step up your game if you ever hope to see the spring harvest. 'Authentic handling' is a phrase normally reserved for Gran Turismo and Forza titles, but now you can finally live out your dreams of authentically handling a tractor on a country highway.  


It should be mentioned that tractors authentically handle like a clown car filled with cement dicks.

The trailer for Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers opens with the seemingly innocent question:

"Have you ever felt the cosmos?" 

Yes, in fact, I have. It was during my gap year in Phuket and I had just met a shaman who volunteered to guide me on my very first ayahuasca journey. The skin of the universe was peeled back and the engineering of all reality was laid before me. So, yeah, Saint Seiya, I have felt the fucking cosmos. This fighter is based on the anime from the 80s and is being released by Namco Bandai. 

It really is a slow week for releases.

A Japanese role-playing game dropping exclusively on the Vita? Yes, the four PS Vita owners in the back of the room, this one is for you.


Ys: Memories of Celceta drops November 26 and will be the next installment in the Ys series and is somehow the third title to be considered the fourth entry into the franchise. Trying to decipher JRPG canon chronology is only slightly less time-consuming than attempting to solve a Rubik's Cube using only crushing sense of self-worth.


Enjoy, JRPG fans!
