I’m looking forward to a good few games this year, but most of the gaming sites I look at only show the American release date, being based in the U.S. 'n all. Usually when I want to find out when a game’s over here, I have to go to Wikipedia or a computer game shop’s online store, and being Wikipedia they’re often behind actual gaming sites.

Can anyone recommend me a good site that shows European release dates?

Bump-de-dump. I probably would have had more luck in Cafe Society.

See if you can find anything on Eurogamer. They’re usually pretty reliable.

I’m not too keen on the interface, but they have release dates! Thanks.

GameFAQs [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/](http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/) lists US, JAPAN, and EUROPE release dates, on a per platform basis.
