Another game that will be coming out in November is Sonic Generations for the Nintendo 3DS, Playstation 2, and Xbox 360. This is one you can do a display with to get your gamers excited. If you have any of the Sonic graphic novels or DVD’s they can be used and you could ask a patron that likes Sonic to bring in old game cartridges and packaging. The individual might even have some of the figures for Sonic that can be added to a display to give an extra punch.

ICv2 is reporting that for the first time, that I can recall, gamers will be able to subscribe for gaming pieces. Pazio Publishing, with their partners WizKids, is offering a subscription for Pathfinder Battles: Heroes & Monsters. This subscription will allow gamers to get cases of pre-painted miniatures. The sight didn’t give a link to get this subscription, but librarians will still want to give their gamers a heads up so they can start checking out Pazio’s website to set up an account and get more information when Pazio formally announces this subscription service they can also find other subscription services while they are at the sight.
