It’s that time again! The holiday season is over, and a new year has begun. We still have a little while to go before the first next-gen titles of 2014 start trickling in, but in the meantime there are a few releases that should keep gamers busy! Let’s take a look!

The new year starts off with Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed, racing onto iOS and Android smartphones on the 2nd. Shortly afterward, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance sneaks onto Windows PCs everywhere January 7th. On the 10th, Wii Fit U retail boxes hit store shelves, complete with Nintendo’s Fit Reader. Later in the month, Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD hacks and slashes onto PSN on the 14th, with a Windows and Xbox Live Arcade release on the 15th. Closing off the month is Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on the 28th, a re-release for PS4 and Xbox One.
