August 16, 2005 A solid Diablo-like. It’s still hilarious that Dungeon Siege of all things got a movie…starring Burt Reynolds.
Any time the Kingdom Hearts freaks come out, I'm reminded of that time that @ltsquigs.bsky.social spent an uninterrupted 20+ minutes explaining the entire plot of the series to the patrons of a Buffalo Wild Wings in Seattle. Happy for y'all.
August 15, 2000 You can argue about how good Chrono Cross is or isn’t. But, you know what you’re not gonna argue about? The incredibly goddamn good soundtrack.
August 14, 2005 It’s largely a mess, but if you ask me to name a GameCube game, I’m almost always gonna say Geist.
August 13, 2002 The first 2K game that’s not on a Sega console. The only NFL 2K game on a Nintendo console. One of the first (officially) online PS2 games.
August 12, 2009 Hundreds of thousands of us were introduced to the sadistic combination of motorcycles and physics. 🇫🇮
August 11, 1998 The PlayStation version came out a couple weeks earlier, but N64 players’ patience was rewarded with exclusive 4-player support, gauntlet matches, and Royal Rumble.
August 11, 2010 A game that was ahead of its time. A true Summer of Arcade classic.
I’m now down to 6 long boxes left (out of 102). This is the second to last expensive one though. No one had a good resolution for multi disc games at this point. Just throw the other 2 discs in an envelope. What could go wrong?
August 10, 1993 One of the biggest pieces of ammo in a Genesis kid’s arsenal was “Well, in ours you can play as a raptor!”
Remember that time Nintendo released a Smash Ultimate trailer with no background music and everyone had a field day with it for a day?

August 6, 1999 Imagine the power you could wield with 146 simultaneous colors and a daily horoscope in your pocket.
August 6, 1999 At the height of the Attitude Era, Acclaim lost the WWF license. WrestleMania 2000 from THQ would be out just a few month after this. EGM shows that Austin has pretty good penmanship. GamePro had Attitude on the cover twice in 4 months. Nintendo Power had a fold-out poster.
August 6, 2013 Vanillaware don’t miss. Even when they randomly decide to make a multiplayer beat ‘em up.
August 5, 2003 Probably the first time Xbox Live players were asked to pay up to keep up.
Absolutely zero 80s/90s kids born in The South™ escaped 5th grade without sitting through all 37 hours of Ken Burns' Civil War documentary on VHS. I feel targeted. Thanks, @grubb.wtf. youtube.com/shorts/nGuyn...

August 4, 2020 There are a handful of games that will be forever synonymous with the pandemic. Fall Guys is a big one.
August 1987 ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS is one of the cheat codes that’s burned into my skull. And don’t call him “Cage”. (We all called him “Cage”)
August 1994 Arguably the first college football video game. Bill Walsh College Football from EA also came out in August, so impossible to say for sure. It features 32 teams and the main mode is a tournament to crown a national champion. In real life, there was no playoff tournament until 2014.
August 2002 Sony introduces the Network Adaptor and reveals that the compartment in the back of your PS2 was for more than just hiding stuff. “HDD” is imprinted on it, but the hard drive took another 19 months to come out here. The cool kids had been playing Tony Hawk 3 online for months already.
