New game releases for the week of August 20-26
The big game coming out this week is definitely Bioshock for Xbox 360 and PC. The visuals look awesome if we take the demo that was released on Xbox Live. Whether the game has a decent replay value has yet to be seen. We’ll let you know.
Two Worlds looks like a brilliant RPG. Early speculation and critiques of the game compares it to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, not a bad thing in my mind. Apparently fully customizable characters and free play to forge your path through the world. Sounds like fun.
Despite the fact that it seems to be an 360 kinda week, DS releases the much anticipated sequel to one of their biggest sellers: Brain Age 2. New challenges include such games as: Days and Dates, Word Scramble, Masterpiece Recital and even rock paper scissor. How this will train your brain rather than just amuse you has yet to be seen.
