What the gaming community needed for a long time.
Pedro Blandino \| 8:46 AM on 06.03.2008	72 comments

Behold my newest Web project!
Game-Releases!

For a wile now I used to go to multiple website looking to see what game was coming out this week. Then I thought why not find a release calender online. And to my surprise there was none. Sure you see one in like a magazine. But they don't always pan out to show you all the games coming out. So some weeks later. I give you my newest website!

Please note I'm the only guy adding in games to the site. So I haven't finished adding in xbox360, PStripple and PC tittles. Hopefully ill finish it some time before this week is over.(I blame Epic NARP for my delay). And there are more features coming in. so just think of this as beta. >_>

So what you guys think?

This thing just got added to my gaming Favorite folder for my browser. Well done Pedro, this looks like a sweet site.

I like the idea and hope that the things go well for you and the site.

That seems a bit odd to not have a game release calender online...oh well, good shit man.

Sweet idea! This is much better than plowing through ebgames.com or sorting actiontrip.com. Bookmarked!

Really digg it, but how about adding an option to look at Europe release dates?

Fana7ic says:
(# 8) on 06/03/2008 09:01

Oh well never mind, I just have to add half a year, that will do

Jigga.

Pedro Blandino says:
(# 10) on 06/03/2008 09:05

Fana7ic, thats coming down the line. i just don't have a release list from Eu. also i would need some one to keep on top of that. so some time soon in the future.

nice layout! do like.

Pedro Blandino says:
(# 15) on 06/03/2008 09:14

pro tip: mess with the filters on the top right. remove consoles you don't have from the calender. ;)

dgenerate says:
(# 16) on 06/03/2008 09:14

Jerk!

I have a prototype of something similar up... except it was user-driven.... and I have much less web skills than you :(

Nice site and very welcome. I always hated not having a single source to check for releases.

razerangel says:
(# 17) on 06/03/2008 09:15

Sweet, wait you thought of something and it hadn't been done on the net yet?! SOMEONE DIVIDED BY 0!

aborto thefetus says:
(# 18) on 06/03/2008 09:17

Do you have the release for UT3 on 360? I can't find the release date for that and somebody I know claims it comes out this summer. I would check it out myself but the computer I am on currently is blocking the website for some reason.

Skribble says:
(# 19) on 06/03/2008 09:17

you are a goddamn legend dude

fucking ace site

SuitcoatAvenger says:
(# 20) on 06/03/2008 09:18

Are these ship dates or in-store dates? I'm assuming in-store, but the Monday and Thursday releases this week are throwing me off a litt.e

Pedro Blandino says:
(# 21) on 06/03/2008 09:20

aborto, I got the date July 07 2008. its not up on the calender right now.

Pedro Blandino says:
(# 22) on 06/03/2008 09:22

Release Dates. in store ship dates I can't do. they vary from lactation to location.

GuitarAtomik says:
(# 23) on 06/03/2008 09:28

Good idea man! I always ended up doing the same thing checking random sites for release dates but this makes it a lot easier.

AgentMOO says:
(# 24) on 06/03/2008 09:32

Great idea! much cheaper then using my gamefly queue to do that! I find myself adding a lot of games I don't end up playing

Anus Mcphanus says:
(# 25) on 06/03/2008 09:32

This is fucking ace man! Can't wait until you can get a Euro list up

Spitfire says:
(# 26) on 06/03/2008 09:35

This is an awesome project Pedro. Totally bookmarked.

Tubatic says:
(# 27) on 06/03/2008 09:37

Amazing site man! This is awesome!

. . . can you widgetize this? How cool would it be to have a little calendar you can slap onto a blog or website to both access the raw release info, and link over to the full site content?!

Pedro Blandino says:
(# 28) on 06/03/2008 09:38

tubatic, its coming. but right now im working on other things on the sites.

ninjamogzero says:
(# 29) on 06/03/2008 09:44

Sterling job, dude! But seems like a lot of work for just one guy?

RonBurgandy2010 says:
(# 30) on 06/03/2008 09:46

You know what's funny, I was JUST looking for game release dates like 10 min ago. Thank you. :)

craineum says:
(# 31) on 06/03/2008 09:50

Great idea... bookmarked.

Tubatic says:
(# 32) on 06/03/2008 09:53

Pedro, freaking awesome. I'm subscribed to the RSS!

kepler says:
(# 33) on 06/03/2008 10:07

Great idea, should make tracking games so much easier...well for me anyway, Its extra hard work for you!

AngelsDontBurn says:
(# 34) on 06/03/2008 10:25

Good stuff man, respect! :)

atheistium says:

I heart your face~

nademagnet says:
(# 36) on 06/03/2008 10:36

YES!!

Chocobo Knight says:
(# 37) on 06/03/2008 10:50

Awesome idea! I'll definitely bookmark and check this for all my game release dates. :)

AnTi PRO says:
(# 38) on 06/03/2008 10:53

Not gonna lie...that's awesome.

Morrius says:
(# 39) on 06/03/2008 10:59

That's really great, I love the clean design and the simplicity of it. Seriously if you keep this up to date, I can see it being bought out by a bigger company and making you a fortune.

One thing though (and its a big one) how about specifying US/Euro releases in another version?

Other than that, you've just come up with the best idea I've seen in ages. This site does a similar thing (http://www.tothegame.com/) but its a mess.

smackifilia says:
(# 40) on 06/03/2008 11:02

awesome

Chad Concelmo says:
(# 41) on 06/03/2008 11:03

OMG THIS IS AMAZING! :)

perri says:

PROCEED!

Rockvillian says:
(# 43) on 06/03/2008 11:15

I love it. Bookmark'd

Can you make it so something good comes out soon though? :P

Y0j1mb0 says:

Needs BOOBS.

JAWSOME!

Yashoki says:
(# 47) on 06/03/2008 11:53

AMAZING!

Necros says:
(# 48) on 06/03/2008 12:03

Wow, how has no one ever come up with this? Great idea!

MaxVest says:
(# 49) on 06/03/2008 12:25

Nice work. Where are you pulling the info from? I used to use the IGN release calendar, but it sometimes goes a little while between updates.
