A few new games …
Games don’t really last a long time these days, and every game that hits the shelves are more and more adept at pushing the boundaries of any particular system. With this being said, however, avid gamers are still keen to get their paws on a lot of the games coming out, and it is with this in mind that we’ve compiled a short list of games coming out over the next few months.
Mass Effect has actually been out for a while now, but the good news for PC owners is the fact that they’ll be able to take a bash at playing it this year as well. The gameplay was awesome, the story was enticing – there was actually very little wrong with the game from both a technical and gaming aspect. It did cause something of a stir amongst the conservatives among us (anybody remember the alien sex-scene saga?), however, concerns were highly overated – Mass Effect was easily one of the best games of 2007.
Digital Planet is expecting the PC version to arrive on shelf by 11 May, and they are accepting pre-orders.
The PC version features a completely redesigned control system, as well as enhancements to inventory control (which was one of the few sticky points in the XBox 360 version)
The original Far Cry far outstripped expectations when it was released, and a great big bundle of its fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the second installment.
I’ve done a earlier write-up here, and it’s expected to be on sale by the end of this month or early next month.
There are quite a few people out there who remember shivering in darkened rooms with the sound of undead creatures rustling at you through the speakers. Alone in the Dark can now be even better with the abilities of the Xbox 360 being used to full effect and we’re expecting this to arrive on shelves towards the end of May.
The Splinter Cell franchise has been running for quite a few years now, combining awesome gameplay with stealth and high-tech gadgetry in order to achieve your mission goals.
You are Sam Fisher, a covert agent in service of the US government, or at least used to be. In Conviction, you are a fugitive, running from the government you used to serve. You need to build yourself a network of underground allies to aid you in your quest to prove your innocence.
We don’t have a release date for this game yet, but we are expecting it this year. Digital Planet are accepting pre-orders for this one as well.
The games listed above are just a few examples of games to pre-order from Digital Planet – not to mention that they have a huge collection of other available across all the popular gaming platforms.
now for your next gaming fix.
