### `get_best_of_month`

```

### `get_release_calendar`

- The name "get_release_calendar" says "get": a word for reading.

```

```

### `search_games`

- The name "search_games" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find new video games Creative Cult follows, by name. Returns each game's release date, the latest share of player reviews that recommend it with its date, and a link to its page. Games with a slug have a full report you can read with get_game. Leave the query empty to list every game with a report, newest first.
```
