As we approach the end of 2015 it’s easy to forget just how lucky we (PlayStation & Xbox Gamers) have been throughout the entirety of the 2015 onslaught of games.
There has not been a single month where there has not been a massive selection of games to purchase, discounts to be had, or an array of free games on both the PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
So, I thought I would take a look at just how vast the library of games introduced in 2015 was, and was amazed at what I found.
Both platforms have seen and abundance of new games, remasters and backwards compatible titles added with the promise of basically a never ending barrel of more to come.
Below I have listed the games released in 2015 on the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, to give you the chance as well to see for yourself just how epic the games scene has been on the two leading platforms this year.
