Video Games Coming out This Week [June 12-19, 2010]: Toy Story 3, Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers

    

Not much in the way of big releases this week. It’s E3 this week and there will be a huge amount of reveals and stuff going on there to make for it.

There are some interesting titles though. Take a look at Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers which is available via digital distribution this week – one year after the XBLA release. If it’s one game that’s intrigued me for years, it’s Magic: The Gathering. I remember dabbling in it years ago, and I’ve since toyed with similar things. I even have the Magic Set Editor.

The other game that comes out this week is Toy Story 3: The Video Game, which is out on multiple consoles. This no doubt ties in with the movie of the same name.

Available links go to game detail pages at retail and digital distribution outlets like Amazon and Steam, etc. You can also check out my Amazon aStore for the latest and greatest games released this year.

Alan Wake Novel, Based on the Game, Now Out

Alan Wake was released for Xbox 360 just last month, with the PC version said to be too much effort for a little studio like Remedy, developers of the title.

Alan may be a best-selling author suffering from writer’s block in the game, living the events of his book, but in real life, late last month saw a tie-in novel, which I personally hadn’t heard about before, arrive.

It’s a 320 page novel written by Rick Burroughs, and it’s naturally based on the game. So for everyone who didn’t get a chance to play the game, can head over to Amazon and grab it for about $10.

Modern Warfare 2 Soundtrack Available Now

Video game soundtracks are usually released before or just about the same time the game which features the OST releases. Modern Warfare 2 is different, seeing as the OST for this game, which was released last November, was only released this month – this week in fact.

The score is by Hans Zimmer, and features 17 tracks from the game, which in total clocks in at just under an hour’s play length. It retails for $7.99 at Amazon, saving you over $8 if you bought all the songs individually, and also $2 cheaper than you’d find it on iTunes.

Track list:

1. Opening Titles       3:25
2. Extraction Point     3:35    
3. Breach                  3:22         
4. Guerrilla Tactics     2:58    
5. Siege                    4:05    
6. Infiltration               4:27    
7. Espirit de Corps     3:07    
8. Retreat and Reveille     2:57    
9. Ordinance              1:58    
10. Contingency         2:15    
11. Onwards              2:27

Buy Borderlands, get two DLC Add-ons Free at Amazon

        

It was a bank holiday in the US and the UK yesterday, and Amazon started something by putting up a deal for Borderlands, the hit game of late last year by Gearbox Software.

You can grab the game, currently going for $27.99, saving you a whopping $2 - but with it you’ll get the first two DLC packs released this year, The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned and Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, collectively known as the Borderlands Double Game Add-on Pack, for FREE. And that saves you about $20 right there.

By the way, this deal is only available for the PC version of the game.

Singularity Pre-order offer at Amazon: Get a Free Comic

Raven’s Singularity is set to arrive this year in June, and GameStop has a pre-order offer for the game where those who buy it will get an exclusive multiplayer character to use in the game.

Amazon has countered and says that those who buy it from them will get a free comic book based on the game. This is for all versions of the game: PC, Xbox 360, and the PS3.

Oh, and don’t forget that there’s another pre-order offer for the Xbox 360 version of Singularity, where you get a free full game, Prototype, free. This offer only comes into affect upon the game’s release, apparently, according to the Amazon game detail page.

So, it’s either one or the other: Prototype, or the comic? Can’t have both…

PS3 Greatest Hits and DualShock 3 Bundles Available on Amazon

For today’s deal post, I read about a bundle available on Amazon just lately. There are a few deals where you can get another DualShock 3 controller for your PS3, and with it you can get a game at a considerably reduced price.

For $60, you can get a DualShock 3 controller, plus any ONE of the following games: LittleBigPlanet: GOTY Edition, inFamous, Killzone 2, or Resistance 2.

Last year there was a bundle which included a DualShock 3 along with Uncharted. It’s still available, but at $80, instead of $60. And of course you get free shipping with these bundles too.

Video Games Coming out This Week [May 09-15, 2010]: Skate 3, Lost Planet 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY

Mother’s Day

Skate 3, Lost Planet 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition

It’s Mother’s Day today! This week has a few big names arriving. One of them at least brings back memories for me, and that is Skate 3. I used to a big fan of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series, before it went downhill, and hit a parked car at 100 kph, before sliding on its face on the road.

The last good game in the series was probably THPS 3 or 4. Some might even say THPS 2. How we laughed years ago when Skate came on the scene as the underdog and threatened the mighty THPS. But all these years later and it seems to have overtaken the birdman’s games, which went from the excellent THPS series to American Wasteland, to the Jackass themed Underground or THUG, and then the latest effort, which was Tony Hawk Ride – an immense disappointment according to many, except Tony.

Anyway, the third Skate game, Skate 3, is out this week for PS3 and Xbox 360, and from what I’ve seen it looks pretty good. It’s sticking with what skating more or less is from my experience: fun.

Other games that are out include Lost Planet 2 – the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. From what I’ve seen review wise, it’s a mixed bag, with some saying it’s average or so, and others it’s not so good.

Then there’s the GOTY, or Game of the Year, edition for Batman: Arkham Asylum, for consoles. This game was no doubt one of last year’s best, and most surprising hits – labelled as the best Batman game ever. This week sees the console versions releasing, and the PC version will be along later.
