GameLense is an application I had a dream about two nights ago. So I woke up and immediately started coding. After about six hours I felt it was working well and I decided to release it for you guys. This is just a for fun project, it's free to use and free to share without anyone you like. (It's possible I may release the source code on GitHub)

 GameLense lets you view upcoming games easily.
 GameLense lets you view upcoming games easily.
You need to have the .NET Framework 4 installed, but don't worry if you don't have it. The installer automagically installs what you need for you. :)

So what does it do? You just select the platform you want to view the games on and it loads the relevant information. Title, release date, basic plot of the game. You can also click on the image to be taken to the game Giantbomb page, or the small YouTube icon to be taken to a gameplay video of the game.

I made this for myself really, as an easy way to see upcoming games, but hopefully you guys enjoy it and suggest things you would like to see.

Here's the download link.

Note: This application has no viruses, trojans or any other nasty shit. Scan it if you like.

It seems the PC community loves this game, and reviewers only took console versions into consideration while playing against bots. LOL.

Buy this game, it's really fun and it's amazing how they removed the K:D rating.

Actually I find JSON to be much more readable at a glance than XML.

Well that sucks then. So we're supposed to download 40,000+ listings each time someone wants to search something on our applications?

@LordAndrew: So what do they offer? Just a complete response of all the games in their database? I highly doubt that.

Ok thanks, but can you give me a direct answer (if you have it), does GiantBomb offer this endpoint for comming soon games, or do they just offer a list of games via platform?

An endpoint is basically a URL that you can access to retrieve a response from a web server.

For example, RottenTomatoes has an API with several endpoints. EDIT: I don't need it to return JSON, XML is fine too.
 http://developer.rottentomatoes.com/docs/read/JSON

So you're saying I cannot get a collection of games for a given platform that are "coming soon"?

Hi guys,

I need to find an endpoint that returns a list of upcoming games by console.

For example, a JSON response containing information about upcoming releases for XBox 360, PS3, Wii and PC.

What is the URL I need to use to retrieve this information? I'm confused because there is both a Game endpoint and a Release endpoint, and I doubt those two fit what I need.

Thanks for the help!

@Sayishere: They were made by the same publisher (Rockstar) but not the same developer teams. In fact, not a single developer from one game participated in the game - the studios are in opposing areas of the globe.

@Napalm: I guess I am pretty frightened by horror games. More fun for me! :)
 
Another game that me literally piss myself a bit was Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of The Earth. Eek.
