This week’s new releases brings another fantasy MMO, some snipeage, a fatality, and some new downloadables.
SHOW NOTES:
GAME 1: Tera Online - PC
*Tera is a subscription-based* fantasy MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game for play on the PC that blends traditional MMO RPG elements with Action combat like no game before it.
*In the persistent game world of Tera, players can work alone or form groups and join guilds, but regardless of the approach, players must fully control their characters using the game's dynamic battle system in order to succeed.
*Additional features include: a customizable user interface, seven races with access to eight character classes, engaging PvP combat, and a three-continent wide game play area to explore.
At the end of the day, it’s just ANOTHER online MMO. It’s gonna have to bring something PRETTY interesting to tear gamers away from WoW.
GAME 2: Sniper Elite V2- PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Next we have Sniper Elite VS, the sequel to 2005's Sniper Elite.
*Sniper Elite V2 plunges you into war-torn Berlin during the final frenzied battle between German and Russian forces during World War II. As a skillful sniper, you are enlisted to carry out dangerous and deadly missions throughout Berlin.
*Use skill, patience and cunning to accomplish your mission while handling the anticipation and pressure of the hunt and facing life-changing decisions.
*Take gravity, wind, velocity, bullet penetration, aim stability and more into account as you sight-in your target in this realistic simulation of military sharpshooting.
*Arm yourself and take down your targets with authentic weapons such as the Springfield M1903, the Gewehr 43 and the Mosin-Nagant 1891/30.
*Witness the gory details with the amazing X-ray Kill Cam which shows what happens when your bullet enters an enemy's body.
Do you think you’re ready to take down the enemy? If so, then grab your rifle and get going.
GAME 3: Mortal Kombat - PS Vita
Next we have the PS Vita version of 2011’s highly acclaimed reboot to the long running Mortal Kombat series.
*The game contains the story mode from the console release of the game, and all of the DLC characters and costumes that have been made available. So you can eviscerate as Freddy Krueger or even as the God of War himself, Kratos.
*In addition to this, the game harnesses the PS Vita's touchscreen capabilities, and built-in accelerometer to provide exclusive modes, including: the all-new Challenge Tower mode, and Test Your Slice and Test Your Might modes.
*The game will make use of the Vita’s touchscreen for use in fatalities, among others, and will also make use of the systems accelerometer.
*You can challenge your friends across both ad hoc and over WiFi.
It’s the same great fighting game that came out last year, but now it’s in a handy to go form.
GAME 4: Awesomenauts - PSN, XBLA
Our first digital game this week is a side scrolling action shooter that looks as awesome as its name: Awesomenauts.
*According to the game’s website: "In the distant future...It's the year 3587, conflict spans the stars. Huge robot armies are locked in an enduring stalemate. In their bid for galactic conquest they call upon the most powerfull group of mercenaries in the universe: the Awesomenauts!"
*Awesomenauts brings team-based competetive arena play to a platforming perspective. Play and customize several Awesomenauts as you storm the online battlegrounds and unlock loads of new abilities and characters for your arsenal.
It looks like a pretty dope kinda game. You can grab it from both Xbox Live and the Playstation Store.
GAME 5: Fable Heroes - XBLA
And lastly we have Fable Heroes.
*Fable Heroes is a fresh spin on the beloved Fable franchise in which up to four players play both cooperatively and competitively in this hack-and-slash adventure. Work together as heroes of Albion to defeat familiar foes and new enemies while collecting as many gold coins as possible to unlock upgrades, characters, and items in both this game and Fable: The Journey for Xbox 360.
It looks like a cutesy kinda game, and the integration with Fable: The Journey might come in handy when that game launches later this year.
