Gears of War Judgement
The first entry in the famous video game series, Gears of War Judgement, was released this week. Developed by People Can Fly, the game is a prequel that offers a new perspective on the story. Although the game is different from its predecessors, Gears of War Judgement has retained the franchise’s signature elements, such as the unique cover-based shooting mechanics and the addictive multiplayer modes.
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
Activision released The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, a first-person shooter based on the popular TV series. However, this game is not a continuation of the storyline from the adventure game that was Wired’s Game of the Year in 2012. Instead, this game is a different FPS take on The Walking Dead universe. Unfortunately, Activision has not released the game for review, so it’s hard to say whether it’s worth buying or not.
LEGO City Undercover
LEGO City Undercover, which Steven Totillo at Kotaku described as “like Grand Theft Auto for kids,” was released this week. Developed by TT Fusion, this open-world game is a fun experience that lets players explore a charming city and capture criminals. While the game is perhaps a bit too easy for adult players, it’s sure to provide plenty of entertainment for kids.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was released this week for both the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS. This game lets players hunt down giant creatures with their friends online or locally. The game also features cross-play, allowing players with 3DSs and Wii Us to team up. Moreover, players can transfer their saved game data between the two systems.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon
On Sunday, March 2, Nintendo released two new 3DS games: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon. The former combines dungeon hacking with monsters from the popular Pokemon franchise, while the latter sees Mario’s brother Luigi star in his own game, exploring a series of haunted houses and sucking up ghosts with his vacuum cleaner.
Ridiculous Fishing
Finally, we cannot pass up the opportunity to mention the release of Ridiculous Fishing, an iOS game developed by the creators of Super Crate Box and Spell Tower. This creative fishing game promises to be a fun experience for all players for the low price of $2.99.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this week has seen a number of exciting video game releases, from popular franchises like Gears of War and The Walking Dead to more kid-friendly games like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and LEGO City Undercover. Whether players prefer shooters or open-world adventures, there’s something for everyone. Meanwhile, Ridiculous Fishing promises to provide a fun diversion for mobile gamers.
