In an article on their new website Playr writes, we're only in April and already there have officially been 67,221 game sequels released this year and there's plenty more to come. We've had Rezzie 81, Killzone 64 and Street Fighter 103 Alpha Plus Beta. And soon we'll be treated to Fifa 1066, which will of course be closely followed by Pro Evo: This Time It's Personal!
Now, you may be forgiven for being a little cynical about the intentions of publishers who rather than investing in new games instead choose to knock out an endless stream of upgrades, updates and rewrites of proven hits.

This fan remake will be a mod for Call of Juarez Bound in Blood and the team has released its first gameplay footage."
It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other's fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let's take a look.
