 Exams, studying, reading and Turtle Month 2015. Well, I'm not gonna dance around it, Turtle Month 2015 blew, who knew Ninja Turtles games could get so bad? There were a couple of good ones, at least, but the bad ones got oh so bad.


 Game of July:
 Who'd knew a game, based on a Michael Bay movie could get so good? Fitting the franchise around the genre, instead of the other way around, seems to have been the right call. As fun as it was, it needed more of everything. More environments, more stages, more loot! But hey, there's always the next time!

 Runner-up:
 It's funny, and sad, when you think about it, but Konami built a decent foundation for future games with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was too short and lacked a bit more tuning, but it was fun while it lasted. And then Konami said to hell with it and built TMNT 2 Battle Nexus almost from the ground up, and it was terrible. And for the third entry they decided to take a little bit from both games, but even then, it couldn't match the first one. Goddammit, Konami.
