Weekly Releases: 8/15/2010

HEY EVERYONE HAI HOWZ SUMMER DOING FOR YA! ONLY A FEW WEEKS AND YUZ WILL BE IN COLLEDGE OR HIGH SCOOOL AGAIN YAY!!

I lost a brain cell typing that, and do not ask why I did, because I probably do not entirely know, myself. Anyways, releases this week.

Significant Releases

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days (PS3 / 360 / PC)



Developer: IO Interactive (Hitman Series, Kane and Lynch)
Publisher: Eidos/Square-Enix

Kane and Lynch have made it alive and well away from the eyes of the prying. However, a simple job ends up causing much more chaos than previously expected, and Lynch's new-found love is caught in the crossfire. The game puts players in Lynch's shoes this time around, and the camera attempts a more rugged, "shaky-cam" affect akin to numerous independent films as of late. The title had a demo out for a while, now, and it looks like it will live up to the first installment of the unique co-op franchise.







Ys Seven (PSP)


Developer: Nihon Falcom (Ys Series)
Publisher: XSEED Games

The newest game in the Ys Series, players assume the role of adventurer Adol, the hero for most of the series, but in a Ys first, the player has a group to command. The game is built specifically with the PSP in mind, unlike the last few releases which have been ports to the portable gaming device. People can switch between characters in the party to use different special weapons, instead of staying solely on Adol, as cool as he is. The game has both a normal and "premium" edition which contains many additional items, including a full cloth map of the game. Looks like the definitive game for an Ys fan.







Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light (XBLA, PSN and PC on Sept 28th)


Developer: Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider Series)
Publisher: Eidos/Square-Enix

Lara Croft is back, but things have changed from the original Tomb Raider series. Instead of controlling Lara as she travels deep into ancient and not-so-ancient worlds with a behind-the-back camera system, the game takes a unique, isometric adventure approach. Furthermore, Lara Croft is not alone; a second player can join into the game to play as Totec, the Guardian of Light, who wields a spear and shield to aid him. Co-op gameplay is heavy in this title, but those who cannot play cooperatively can experience the game with Lara alone with Totec's spear. NOTE: Online Co-op will NOT be available until the PSN/PC release.
