So are there any good sites for keeping track of games that are coming out? Or a list of upcoming games? I know you can just browse Gamestop or Amazon, but I was hoping for a more dedicated list in appose to a retailer.
I just use the official sites. The 360 site has all normal releases plus arcade and Indie releases. Even better, it lists stuff that's recently been released just in case you missed something.
ToTheGame is a good site for release dates and they often have information on obscure games which IGN may not cover at all - http://www.tothegame.com/monthlyreleases.asp Unfortunately, there will never be a site which is anywhere close to 100% accurate. Even Gamespress, which is a resource for games journalists, have incredibly vague information and are often late to update changes to release dates.
Yeah, read magazines. That's what most people have done since 1985 when they want to know what games are coming out
