Turn out the lights, because it's time to know fear, once again. Frictional Games has returned with its latest horror romp, SOMA, which promises to give players another bout of nightmares. For younger audiences not quite old enough for this level of horror, there's Skylanders: SuperChargers, which continues Activision's phenomenon of figure-based gaming and is actually available right now. All that, plus FIFA 16, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, and more! Check out the full list of new releases below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
