There are lots of interesting (and not so interesting) titles scheduled for release in February and I'm going to give you some pointers on which ones to look out for.
Mario Slam Basketball ~ Platform: DS ~ Release: 16 February 2007
Mario and friends have taken to the basketball court in this title. It utilises the touch screen for controls never seen before in a basketball game, users carry out tricky dribbles, special passes and awesome shots all with touches of the stylus. Players pick their team of 3 from a number of characters from the Mario universe and can play against friends on a local network or play again an AI team. However, this is no ordinary basketball game, as with lots of Mario games, there are special power ups to collect which can turn the tide of any game!

Toca Race Driver 3 ~ Platform: PSP ~ Release: 16 February 2007
Codemasters are bringing the hit racer to the PSP for the first time. With officially licensed cars, world famous tracks and an all new game mode - The World Challenge - this has potential to be one of the best racing games on the platform. It has it's very own damage system making bodywork realistically deform with every impact, from flapping doors to shattered windows so remember to drive safely!

Supreme Commander ~ Platform: PC ~ Release: 16 February 2007
Supreme Commander promises to deliver one of the most advanced and innovative features of any RTS game. Plan strategic attacks on your opponent using your ground, air and naval units on battlegrounds of unparalleled size. If you enjoy playing the likes of Command and Conquer, you will more than likely enjoy this.

Crackdown ~ Platform: Xbox 360 ~ Release: 23 February 2007
Gamers have to enforce justice in anyway possible in the crime-ridden Pacific City, the first ever truly 3-D playground. Enter an interactive world where anything can be used as a weapon as you clean up the streets the only way you know how. Your way. The game has a rather unique presentation turning it into a living graphical novel.

Remember to look out for "March: Releases to look out for" next month.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
